Democrats and private jets

[MasterOfYaw]

The Senate kept the stimulus bill open for vote until 11 PM last night while the White House sent a government jet to pick up an Ohio senator who was attending I believe his mother's wake. So what is good for the gander isn't necessarily good for the goose.

This Dilbert sums it up nicely:

The goal of Socialism is for everyone but the ruling elite to be equally miserable and dependent on the government.

Let's start now to work on throwing them out of office the next time we go to the polls.

Where have you been lately? Stuck in a time capsule somewhere? WTFU, stop watching faux news and realize that the socialism is going to the corporations.

Maybe this is true but I think United flies a B-777 to SFO without stopping for fuel. She could buy the first class section out cheaper than operating a 757 back and forth.

The "sheeple" complex is strong with pilots. Why is that?

After all the atrocities perpetrated on this country by the sh*t-birds in the party of George Bush, that made it through their system of checks and balances, I wouldn't fault the Dems. for a trial balloon/fishing expedition that never put anything on the deck of the boat. Fact is in the end they self corrected. More than I can say for the presumptive plotocrats in the R. party.

You help those that that hate and undermine you, the working people of this country, when you support the conservative party. The sooner you realize that the better for all of us.

GG, pilots are not that way. For some reason by in large they are dyed in the wool wingnuts. I have worked for three airlines and one fractional and the theme is always consistent: They complain about wages being cut, benefits going away, pensions getting robbed, CEOs and execs getting bonuses, contracts getting abrogated, "It's the Unions fault", and the list goes on and on. YET, they defend vehemently the various conservative institutions that 9 times out of 10 are the cause of their ills.

What most don't understand or worse, they thrust their coconut into the sand-is that it's not about repubs versus dems anymore. It's about dems and repubs, K Street, Wallstreet, the Banks, ruining this country. Folks we need change, it isn't going to happen when you got Limbaugh and the likes leading you around by your nose telling you what to think. Most of you that frequent this board are better educated then these types. More capable even. We got to learn to fix these messes ourselves.

They let you out of the house without your helmet?

How about prince Charles going on his Gorebal Warming tour on a private Airbus 319?

I almost missed that one...funny!

They let you out of the house without your helmet?

Yea, they sometimes do that. I see you had to wear yours though. Sorry dude.

Animal Mother talking to Gerry "G" is like

A Sheep Dog talking to a Sheep.


Keep playing your Gibson Gerry, and I'll play one of mine.

Life will be good fo you as long as Animal Mother can keep the Wolf away from you.

But you and the other sheep are making it so hard man.

Animal wears his helmet to keep from ending up like you!

Here is one of my favorite quotes on Sheep:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours." [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]From the book, On Combat, by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman[/FONT].

Not all "sheepdogs" accomplish their work through violence and not all of them look like the wolf.

Well it looks like Granny Pelosi used those Military jets a wee bit more than she has let on...
