So it isn't the committees?

Post #61,350 by admin 11/6/02 10:31:15 AM Reply	So it isn't the committees? I don't care which party it is... I'm not complaining specifically that Bush was out campaigning this time. What I am complainging about is us footing the bill and not the parties, if that's the case. How would my employer react if I spent a few weeks helping some friends of mine getting jobs, on my company's time?? Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

The rest is paid for by us ans the (P)res. justifies it by doing "official business" during the campaign trips. Just like any normal, itemizing taxpayer, they skirt on the hairy edges of what's allowable. jb4 "About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt axe.

There is a rule of thumb on this that the candidate has to pay for their fare. As for campaigning on behalf of other people, all of the costs are borne by the taxpayers. Look at the bright side, I would rather have ilk of ether party flying around the country campaigning as opposed to sitting in washington trying to find new ways to screw us. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Money for jobs?
