The Price of the Long Campaign

Picked up by YOU, taxpayers!!!!!

Isn't that a soft-serve swirley special treat!!!!

You are being taken to the cleaner, America!!!


"Secret Service wants extra for candidates

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has asked for an extra $9.5 million to cover unexpected costs of protecting the presidential candidates during what has turned into a historic year for the agency's campaign security job.

Among other things, the extra money would be used for the added costs for the candidates' international travel.

Yup, so YOU PAID for their GLOBAL WARMING, GAS-BELCHING, CARBON FOOTPRINT-LEAVING, international tips, taxpayers!!

Hey, you had nothing better to do with that $$$; I mean, it's not like you are losing your homes or anything!!!!

WAKE UP to the ELITE SHIT STINK FOOLEYS, America!!!!!!!!

Presidential candidates are traveling overseas with Secret Service protection more than ever before. Obama is on a six-day trip to Jordan, Israel, Germany, France, and Britain. Before that he was on a three-day congressionally sponsored trip to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Republican candidate John McCain has traveled to Canada, Colombia, and Mexico under the agency's protection. The 2008 presidential campaign cycle is the longest in Secret Service history by about five months. The Secret Service budgeted $106.65 million for the 2008 campaign cycle, compared with $73.3 million in 2004 (AP)."

That's YOUR MONEY!!

Nice that you could pay for their global-warming globe-hopping, readers!!!!

No wonder AmeriKa is so sick of politics!!!!
