"CJ, every trip the president takes on Air Force One is paid for with tax dollars, no? Every political move the president makes is researched by White House commitees paid for by tax dollars, no? Every single damn thing the president does is going to be motivated in part by politics and political agendas, which of course is all paid for by tax dollars, no?" Sure. And Bush takes plenty of trips himself to bolster various Republicans and for fund raisers. I dare say Bush has done more of this sort of thing than anybody else. But that isn't what is being discussed here. What is being discussed is the production of blatant propaganda, which isn't legal and something that the Bush administration has already been warned against once already.

Nobody has deficit spent more than Bush, in fact he's deficit spent more than all 42 other presidents combhined, mostly on his own corrupted self-serving programs, including vast but inept spending programs which benefit only his cronies. The huge expenditure on propaganda is basically 1.6 billion of our money spent to LIE to the American people and the world about what Bushies are really up to. It's outrageous and dishonest and it must stop. Clinton never did anything like that. Compared to Bush, CLinton was Honest Abe.

I remember when Clinton's frequent trips to pump up Al Gore during the 2000 election was brought up as a "frivolous waste of taxpayer money." Unless you think Clinton "rented" Air Force One with money he earned "legitimately"? Do you think Bush used a cessna on the 2004 campaign road? Gore was the VP of this country. He was just as entitled to fly in AF One just as the president. And what about outfitting big butt Cheney with an ambulance and medical personnel so he can go hunting in TX? How much do you think that costs the US taxpayers? Do you really think its necessary for him to go hunting? I don't hear any complaints from you over that one. And how much do you want to bet he flew to TX on AF One. In the meantime, why doesn't he lose some weight and take some pressure off his heart? Nevermind........I think I will send him a few deep dish pizzas and a hot fudge sundae to help him get over his hunting woes. ;-)
