2. Here' another website that pisses me off
http://www.majorityleader.gov

Isn't MAJORITY LEADER a POLITICAL position and not a CONSTITUTIONAL position? (Even though there isn't a www.speakerofthehouse.gov site). If a (D) had a narcisist website like Delay's they'd be frothing at the mouth.

And speaking of, I think guys like Karl Rove shouldn't be on the Federal payroll - that goes for DEMs and Repubs - perhaps the parties should pay for their jobs.

otherwise his campaign would have to pay the equivalent of a few first class ticket fares for his campaign staff. I guess the difference between 'official' speeches and campaign speeches is very small these days.

7. There is a huge difference
POTUS has to have the Plane at his disposal at all time. It is completely appro
but campaign speeched on the official whitehouse ite is completely inappropriate.

Isn't it the Hobbes Act that prohibits solicitations on government property? I know it anachronistic in the days of the internet. but a campaign speech by its nature is a solicitation for contributions and its inappropriate to use a governemnet funded site for that purpose.
