What do you think of a politician that?

Isn't it ironic to charge an insane amount of money to give a speech about poverty (of all topics) to a bunch of college students? Republican or Democrat, this person is a crook, plain and simple.

Are you into Pink Floyd

Money it's a hit... etc etc...

Where ever money can be made politics and politicians will determine how to get at it.

Meanwhile we are trying to raise enough money to send approx 20 members or our church to the DR to assist in getting out the gospel, take over some supplies , and help with a mission that feeds homeless children.

If you know who this person is have this person get in touch with me so I can tap 'em for a donation. Imjstbob@sbcglobal.net.

al 4 now B

You forgot to mention the part about the school being funded by our taxes....

There's also a former president that made nearly $10 million in speaking fees last year, but still managed to charge tax payers $1.16 million for various things including $500,000 for office rent and $76,000 in phone charges.

These things are not illegal, but they are far from ethical.

John Edwards is a typical trial lawyer, he will cry a tear for a buck and screw a college for 55k to talk about something he knows absolutely nothing about.

It is up there with wasting 300 billion to police a civil war. I aint gonna name no names or nothing like that.

The thing that concerns me most about the country and its future is the American people. When I see 35% of Democrats, 35 -- a huge number of Americans think that George Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened. You have to conclude, then, that they also might think he let it happen if he knew about it, and then what you conclude after that, you need somebody that studies the insane to be able to tell us. But aside from that, people like you, and there are more people like you than you know who are willing to fight for the country, to maintain the institutions and traditions that have defined it and have made it great, there are more of you than you know. We still have an opportunity here for a rosy future. The nation has always been threatened from outside and from within. It has always faced threes threats, and it's because of our freedom. I asked somebody over the weekend while I was out in Los Angeles, I was stunned this person in their late forties or early fifties, had not even considered this question. I said, I don't remember how we got on to this. "You travel to Europe, right?" "Oh, yeah." "Have you ever asked yourself how a country 250 years old runs rings in virtually every way you can imagine around countries that have been around thousands of years? How is it we are the world's lone superpower? How is it that we come to feed the world? How is it that we, Americans, the United States of America, is the economic engine, the technological engine of this world? How is that possible? We're no different. We came out of the womb as human beings just as everybody else around the world did, those of you lucky enough to make it out of the womb, what's the difference? How can this be?

Sounds like they are using our capitalistic system to it's full potential. What's wrong with that?

I think politicians are civil servants. Maybe he shouldn't be paying for the trip himself but he should certainly be doing the trip for minimal if any pay.

I think that he is a phony hypocrite!!!!

Only a Democrat could pull that off.

Right???????

(A Republican would be destroyed by doing that.)

It is wrong but that is the way it works.
