Quote from jem:

What a bunch of shit... when I worked on the hill I once worked for the sergeant at arms senate side... you know who the sargent at arms speake side took his orders from?

the speaker of the house.

you know how you get those patronage jobs the sargent arms runs all over the hill... buy going through the speakers office.

The perk of being speaker is having the sargent at arms work for you.

The speaker is 3rd in line to the presidency,The NJ governor is not

Bodyguards and a car is good enough for a governor

It was the Bush administration who decided the speaker needed a private jet

And the Hope and Change President should have taken it away.

Secure and private transportation for the person 3rd in line for the presidency doesn't need changing.I support it whether its a democrat or republican

All a governor needs is a car,2 bodyguards and plane tickets by coach,democrat or republican

Personally I think it's bull shit and a waste of tax payers dollars. Even IF we could afford it and we can't. These politicians are a dime a dozen and easily replaced. They are not royalty or even particularly bright, let alone useful.


In any event, this means you support a Bush policy.

During the cold war the government thought that an attack would start with the President and VP being killed,when JFK was shot for the first few hours they thought thats what was happening

When Abe was killed the plot was to kill him,the VP and members of his cabinet

In such a situation a politician is not a dime a dozen.The President ,The VP and the 3rd in line need to be protected at any cost
