But we never heard a peep about the travel costs associated with any other Speaker, and they won't have a thing to say about our new orange overlord's travel expenses. As a reminder, the travel perks extended to the Speaker of the House are provided to anyone in the position, and reflects the reality that they're third in line to the presidency. As for the president himself, US presidents travel. This too isn't anything new. Neither is whining from partisan hacks about every little thing. Or flat out lying, as in this case.

Originally Posted By barboy2 Just a guess but does "Nancy" = Pelosi "hill" = Cap. Hill As for "It aint over tills I says it over , that the Baltimore way" is that some off the wall reference to the Star Spangled banner/Fort McHenry/Francis Key of the Baltimore harbor whereby the flag weathered the English shelling back in the War of 1812? In other words Pelosi is a holdout?
Originally Posted By FaMulan Interesting how my observation that "Californians for Self Reliance" didn't run a single ad this past election devolved.

He hasn't tried to raise taxes on the middle class, and in fact even lowered them. He's left gun laws alone. The truth is there has been very little, if anything, in his administration that could be labelled as left wing radical. So why do people hate him so much? Why the accusations that he's a Muslim, not an American, a Commie, etc.? It couldn't be because he's ... black?

He then very respectfully pointed out the differences between the two and closed with he appreciates our time and consideration. It was a very good ad.
