1) He accepted a
$1,000 contribution from Halliburton's PAC after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill began--even though, as the second-highest-ranking Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee,
he is responsible for regulating the company;
2) He's been named as one of "the 13 Most Corrupt Members of Congress" in a report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington;
3) Challenged by his opponent to return more than $25,000 in big oil donations, he refused -- and has said in the past that he "doesn't know" how much he's pulled in from oil and energy interests;
4) He has received almost $3.6 million from banking, securities, and other financial special interests in his career -- and opposed Wall Street reform legislation that will help protect consumers from these industries' risky practices;
5) He said it would have been "best" if the federal government had never gotten "into the health care business" by providing Medicare, Medicaid and coverage for veterans -- programs upon which hundreds of thousands of Missourians rely.
