WASHINGTON -- A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.

For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, it was wheels up shortly after they voted in favor of legislation requiring that U.S. troops begin returning home from Iraq in the fall.

No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.

All but Biden, who flew on a private jet, chartered their flights -- a campaign expense of between $7,500 and $9,000.

There are reasons they don't go together. Stop giving us this bullshit.

But when the most mentally deficient president flies multiple planes seven times to New Orleans just to give speeches in the dark or to proclaim he would rebuild Trent Lott's ocean front home ... oh ... TheMercenary forgets to quote that news story.

How many 747s are needed so that a president can give a prime time speech in New Orleans. Don’t worry. All those generators and fuel were carried in by the President’s staff of how many hundred (who did not bring food and medical supplies for New Orleans or LA citizens)? As if we don't know who let Louisiana citizens die as he flew to California for a campaign fund raiser.

Oh. Did TheMercenary forget that little fact ... conveniently? Convenient because his poltical agenda justifies reality. How manuy 747s and C-17s fly when the President tries to claim his sympathy for students in VA? Why so much silence from TheMercenary last week?

Remember this thread about Bush stopping by Boeing for a couple hours and the piles of money and energy spent on it?

Mercy, they're trying to stop all the cash and envronmental damage being done by a war in Iraq. Maybe you're getting senile - haven't you ever heard the saying "you have to spend money to save money"? What a foolish post/thread.

And you avoid the substance of the discussion. Why? Because it's a bullshit point that you're trying to make.

Avoiding a subject by diverting it to another subject, Iraq, and not the duplicity of their actions? No you are avoiding the discussion.

There is no discussion of Iraq. There is discussion of travel to a SC debate.

No, the discussion was you trying to make Democrats look bad. You failed.
