Democrats and private jets

[Sparse]

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.

I saw that, too. They should have sent a hybrid car. Was the flight one of the earmarks in the bill?

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

Term limits or bust! This bunch will destroy us if they stay in power.

Next he's going to tell us the Easter bunny doesn't exist!

I wonder how those blue collar union guys in ICT that are laid off from the demonized corporate aviation industry will vote next election.

The C-20(GIII) was just not good enough for Nancy(the mouth) Pelosi. It just couldn't go non-stop from DC to San Fran. Security concerns after 9-11 also made the GIII just not good enough. Now she flies the C-32(757) each week round trip. At the price of approx $60,000 each way, she is costing the US taxpayers $480,000 per month.

I think we should demand that she put up or shut up!

The President, Vice President and numerous democrats in congress (Senate, and House) and some cabinet members have launched a brutal assault on the corporate jet. Don't they realize they could put millions in this country out of work just because they don't think anyone deserves this luxury?

All the small airports and their surrounding communities that rely on corporations and their jets helping their local business and economy. Very short sighted and ignorant of these politicians.

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.

Although Snopes.com (who put a left-wing spin on everything) says it's a false story, they continue on to confirm it. The cover story that the Sgt at Arms forced the poor congresslady to fly on a bigger airplane makes no sense. She doesn't accept orders from him and would tell him to pound sand if she wanted to save the taxpayers money. Most people would gladly accept a free Glll for travel, especially since she's only the second Speaker in history to be provided a government airplane for personal travel. I guess a fuel stop is a tremendous hardship on the Madam, but most people could learn to live with it.

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.
