Attention conservatives:

I don't believe that anyone in the House or Senate, regardless of political affiliation, should be furnished a limo and driver at taxpayer expense.

What does being a conservative or liberal have to do with the answer?

 

I don't know that it's a big deal. Who gets a chauffeur and who does not? Was that a perk of his majority position? I would have guessed that was part of his office expense. I would expect him to get the same benefits that any other congressman gets but no more.

Do you have information that he gets a limo and other congressmen don't and we the taxpayers have to pay for it? Is it anything like secret service protection for ex presidents? We pay for that after they leave office and I don't have a problem with it.

 

Agreed.

All due respect to true public servants, but I think the Founding Fathers and original statesmen were a little more concerned with liberty and freedom than riding in style.

 

Tom Delay is a leading republican, not a leading conservative. There are very few conservative politicians on the national scene. You have some moderately liberal politicians such as Delay, Bush, and a few others, and some liberal whackos such as Cynthia McKinney, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and others.
