FAO and Robert,

What she needs is a one-way trip to Zimbabwe.

In a perfect world, Pelosi would be taken off the floor of the House in a straightjacket and placed in a facility for the mentally ill.

FAO, I knew that and that was one reason I demanded she walk. She’s all for the perks for herself, but the average citizen can live like the Unabomber in MT.

PCD, she doesn’t just have a private plane provided by the USAF, she demanded, and got, a plane just slightly smaller than Air Force One. Every other Speaker of the House has had a private jet sized plane, but she said that was too small for her to use because of the distance to California from Washington and needed to be able to take her entourage of a couple dozen people with her. She’s flying coast to coast in a plane almost the size of a 727 at taxpayer expense. How’s THAT for contributing to Global Warming?

FAO,

Also, their travel priveleges need to be restricted. If they want to keep John Q. Public off the airlines to curb Global Warming, then Pelosi can walk from DC to SF.

You do know why Congress doesn’t really give a damn about gas prices don’t you? Because they get a vehicle of their choice (including a $1000 a month Lexus SUV)leased for them with free fuel and insurance for their use while in Washington all at taxpayer expense. Why are we paying these morons $160K+ leasing them a vehicle and paying the insurance and gas for it? That sounds like a good place to start cutting the budget deficit. That’s at least $5,000,000 a year.

I propose a new amendment to the Constitution requiring that all US Congressmen and Senators pay AND benefits be capped at double the average national salary. At the current national average salary, they’d still be making over $80k so it isn’t chump change for what is supposed to be essentially a part time job. If they want a raise, they have to make good economic decisions that cause the national average wage to rise. Raise taxes, unemployment goes up, wages go down and their pay drops to match. Lower tax rates, encourage new business growth, increase employment, wages rise, they get a pay increase to match. Raising minimum wage will lower their pay as more people will become unemployed or lose hours in the service and retail sectors

Well I should have said (enough) gray matter. . . doesn’t take much to talk liberal, no brainer!!!!

Carolyne, I think it is finally time to say, unequivocally, that we no longer have a representative Government. Congress collectively has turned its back on the people, given us the finger, and absolutely refuses to do what the vast majority of the people are demanding.

DA obviously does have the gray matter to start a Liberal talk show. Why? He would then reveal just how HUA he is. Katrina, Katrina, Katrina, a broken record. Funny we don’t hear anything about helping the flood victims out west, the farmers crying!!! Where’s my check, Where’s Bush, Where’s FEMA, and them being put in expensive Hotels, etc. etc, etc.
Give me, Give me, Give me, . . . hey buddie I’ll contact my congresman/woman – but it sure as hell won’t be for the empty reasons you stated, it will be to tell those FU#@!$ to stop wasting our time, money and get to work for a CHANGE! DRILL NOW!
