Is Nancy Pelosi’s big private jet hurting the Environment?
Dogz asked:
I wash my garbage to recycle containers like gooey peanut butter jars and greasy chili cans. I drive a compact car that sits so low to the ground I feel like I’m crawling out of it. I combine errands into one trip per day so I can conserve fuel. My thermostat is at 67 in winter and 79 in summer. I added insulation to my attic, caulked inside and outside of windows and doors, installed compact flourescent light bulbs, use energy saving windowshades instead of pretty window treatments, and a host of other things. I’m not whining–I WANT to do my part.
Then I see our leaders and other celebrities in the news saying somebody ought to do something about pollution. Somebody else! They say there ought to be more laws to force me to do more. When the interview is over, they hop on a private jet to their next stop. Then they ride in one of their gas-hog vehicles to one of their three huge houses that must be heated and cooled. Shouldn’t THEY be setting the EXAMPLE in their personal choices?

That isn’t her private jet. It belongs to the government and the House Security Chief is the one who has determined that it be used for her travel for safety reasons.
Stop watching FOX News.

Yes. As is her huge ego.
John Edwards talks of ‘two Americas…one for the rich and one for the poor’ while he lives on a 4 million dollar estate with indoor raquetball and basketball courts.
Politicians are hypocrites. Democrats, Republicans, Americans, Iranians, it doesn’t matter.
It’s human nature.

Her plane polluting is the least of the things about her we need to worry about.

Apparently because now she wants to toughen emission laws for the rest of us peons . What is it with democrats after they get elected ? Don’t do as I do ; do as I say ? Can’t you just see it if Madame Hillary was elected ? We’d have to raise our hand to turn on a light bulb .

Funny how liberals don’t like being confronted with their own words.
They do talk a good game but when it comes to living up to what they say they can’t but they want us all to do so.

The Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives made her take that big gas-hogging plane everywhere. Thanks for doing your part, man. Good work.
