Yeah, those politicals all use those Gulftreams, and Lear jets to get around!!You know, the jets that belong to Corporations!!

Is there a possibility that G.W. will veto this piece of garbage??? I believe he said that he would veto a bill that forced the federalization of airport security. Europe already tried this and it was a miserable failure.

The clincher's gonna be *what* the GOP's going to get in return for this...
Ahhh...they did strike *some* kind of bargain with the socialist clymers.

...didn't they?

Your absoutely right. DMV are state run operations as are all the inefficient state run schools. They all stink as does the federally run postal service. By federalizing you can't fire these people when they do a poor job.

These turds were worried that they might have to work through Thanksgiving, so they caved. I guess, in their minds, any excuse is better than none. Somebody remind me again, what's the difference between them and the democrats?

If you don't mind I think I'll shout what has been already said

I wonder of the GOP ever tires of castrating itself.

The GOP is not castrating itself. It's just as much a party of power and big government as the Democrats. When are we going to understand that fact?

The government is only interested in the government.

Yep, you hit it exactly.

Well, it appears to me to be just another jobs program for minority workers and new immigrants, like most federal jobs programs.

DeLay, Armey, and Paul... You lucky Texans, I wish that I had such fine representation. Instead, here in Michigan, I have Levin, Stabenow and Rivers... Socialists one and all... How did that old saying go? Something about taxation without representation???

[IRtorqued]

there you go poking sticks into the eyes of the blind.

[Gasshog]

This is good????

gubmint in charge herya boys, expect a diverse workforce - will they be jihadist-moles in the ranks of the new gubmint employees? Do the gubmint care?

PLUS! New jobs for DemoRat minorities coming soon to a theater NEAR YOU.

The fact that NPR still exists should tell us the GOP will lose and lose and lose.

[freddy]

Directed to everyone on FR...

I'm wondering WHEN you guys are gonna have enough of this s*** to DO SOMETHING about it..???

Don't ask what ..cause I ain't telling on this board..!!!

[Gasshog]

with thousands more government workers who will forever vote to protect their federal jobs

Darn right! I voted Republican for GW Bush! Not everyone working for the fedgov is a Democrat my friend.

[bluehorse95]

No kidding. I hope that President Bush vetos it and sends them back to the drawing board.

The airline industry is spiralling downward (sorry for that imagery, but it's true) and I am afraid this will only accelerate its ultimate "crash." I am at a loss to name any function which has been done better by the federal government than by private industry. Will this be the exception?

Sure, airport security workers are not being paid enough. None of us is. It seems to me that the cost of making flying safe again will be more than the marginal airline passenger can afford. We may go back to pre-deregulation days when only the well-off could afford to fly.

Only good news today is that United is allowing its pilots to carry Tasers (guns are still verboten because of the politically correct FAA).

Yeah, that guy! What was his name again? I remember, it was Marxist Earley.

Calling is for people too lazy to write a snailmail. When you call, you get to talk to an aide. They'll treat you as though they're really interested and promise to get your concerns to your congresscritter, then they hang up and go back to stuffing campaign envelopes.

What you have to do is write a letter and mail it. Letters you write get filed. Phone calls are forgotten and emails are dumped. Basically, though, unless what you request or recommend is what your congresscritter wants to do, you'll be ignored after you get your form letter in return.
