Bush has logged a record number of miles on Air Force One to conduct campaign business. The Republicans criticized Bill Clinton's use of Air Force One. But Bush blows Clinton away for number of hours logged on Air Force One for Campaign purposes. Another "less government" Repulican using the public tax dollars "dole" for his free luxury travel. It's welfare at its best!

1. Yep

Your tax dollars at work. Won't see any Repugs complaining about this, though.

3. And the Bushbackers refuse to release details of how AF-1 is used.

Interesting how Shit-for-Brains can fly all over the country and campaign on our tab but he has yet to meet one KIA coffin as it arrives in the States.

4. Bet you won't see

that propagandist O'Reilly doing a piece on this for his show. I remember how hung up he was over Clinton's foreign visits.

5. The Bush bus

Wait a minute. I thought he was traveling the country
on that bus we always see. And I'm sure he uses the bus
to go to his ranch every weekend also. So leave the guy alone.

6. The rethug double standard

is over the top and they have made hypocrisy into an artform. How quick will their "standards" change when President Kerry takes the oath of office, I'll give em about 30 seconds.

7. We've really got to do something about this kind of crap

8. Always point out that kerry bought his own plane with his own $$ while

bush flies around on YOUR money, doing all this campaigning.

9. Ehhh.. On the one hand I see your point

on the other hand, as a person who can't even afford a house let alone a plane, that kind of irks me too. I look forward to the day that rich people win elections based on their merits instead of their money.
