The Government will end up payingthe tab, like we pay the tab for Air Force One ,and Wide Load One ,when the Obama’s are off campaigning in their separate planes, or off to California to visit Jay Leno.
Politicians who campaign need to pay all the associated costs of their campaigning and not taxpayers.
Ever wonder why a politician who decides to run for another office, doesn’t first submit a resignation from the taxpayer dole the moment they start to re-politic-ing instead of doing their paid job of serving the people?
A person who works in the private sector must resign to seek a new job outside his primary employer. Why aren’t pols required to do likewise?
There aren’t any working folks in Westport, doncha know.
There are only evil rich people, who deserve to lose money, as far as the DNC is concerned. Rich people are their useful idiots.
Why don’t the uber 1%’ers that hosted his campaing bash pony up? Heck, most of that town probably voted for the jerk anyway,
This is something the RNC should be talking about and making the media look at.
“Wide Load One”...
LOL LOL... good one.
And nevertheless, Westport will vote overwhelmingly for the RATS while they go about polishing their vintage cars and playing golf! Go Figure!
Anyone who doesn’t demand payment from these leeches up front deserves to get ripped off at this point...
I sure hope the rest of the towns sit up and take notice. Surely there is nothing that say that they must protect this pos.
As soon as they show up, ask where’s the cash in advance. They no got it, the overtime people go home.
Westport = limousine liberals. They can bend over and take it. I’ll gladly watch
Just once I would like to see a town demand cash in advance, and decline to provide security assistance if the cash isn't handed over.
Liberals stiffed by liberals? Thanks for making my day brighter.
Typical commie ‘RATS. Hooked on OPM.

Ummmmm.. no. I have NEVER quit a job before accepting another if I was shopping for a better job. I am just very quit about it at the current work place. Now my boss would know the minute I pick up the want ads. I would not fire myself however.
I do agree. Elected idiots should step down first. that is a completely different animal than job shopping.
