Just to make the point of the elitist leftist government and the "do as I say...not as I do elitism!"....

Just how do the pompous, chest thumping senators talk down to the auto executives about flying in company jets...then cause them to get rid of the jets, and then have the taxpayers foot the bill for $500,000,000 for new private jets for the members of congress? I'm sure there's a reason for you on the left to defend them as you always do...maybe even bring-up George Bush or even Nixon...or maybe just change the subject altogether! LOL!

I must admit, I don't know the details, but were there no repiglican votes to pass this spending?

No vote required. Purchase approved by the House Appropriations Committee

This is not in defense of the appropriation but it does give some reasoning behind it.  Personally I think they should fly coach, that's how a civil servant should travel.  I understand the need for a private jet for the President but I do object to many of the luxuries that are on it. 

Hey, we all know that if it isn't good enought for private corporations, it is good enough for Congreess. I'll let you guess why. I suspect it has to do wirth the Character of Congress.

Since opinions are meaningless, why should anyone have one?

But have you ever seen a liberal who doesn't have an opinion? And since he has an opinion, yours must be wrong.

Seems a bad move, especially looking at the economy that demands we tighten our belts and then they virtually remove theirs and pop the buttons on their pants to boot.

I think the president should have whatever luxuries there are..Boeing is going to charge for it anyway.  The president is a little more cut off from society as it is, so he should at least be comfortable. 

The senators and representatives can all ride donkeys for all I care....every single one of them.

I am really amazed that the media has allowed this to become such a "non'story"! It would seem that they would show the footage of the hearing with the auto execs where they made such a big deal out of them flying on company jets...but they haven't have they! There's no truth in the mainstream media anymore and there's the smear attack against Fox and talk radio who are the only possible chance to hear the truth! Next will be the "Fairness Doctrine" and talk radio will be silenced by these same elitist swine and "We The People" will definitely be the losers! When they take away our choices we have no freedom! Wake-up people before it's too late!
