Senate Democrats have it rough. They will spend 3 days in a posh, Virginia resort, but according to a Senate spokesman, it's just to work, not for pleasure. I guess they can't have these meetings in Washington because that's not a place for work, just pleasure. :~D It must be rough being a royalty wannabee! http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2011/02/08/dem-senators-travel-va-resort-3-day-retreat

We probably won't be able to get a look at the tab for this. They shut down the release of info on Pelosi's use of military jets. When what they did let us know included information about lavish spending on booze and chocolate covered cherries, I shudder to think what it is they are hiding from us.

Doesn't surprise me at all. These people really do think they are all that. Plus they can get behind closed doors where nobody is watching or listening. No press allowed at this elitist retreat. The end of the article said that they aren't using taxpayer dollars for this. They are covering all their own expenses. Ya, I'll bet...

Hey Ted, Did ya hear they are hosting the Democratic Convention here in Charlotte? Just another thing the City can not afford. Talk about not looking to the future. They have closed just about all the air terminals in Charlotte, now they will be crying that they need to reopen them, then what happens after the convention, closures and layoffs again. I wonder how the NAACP feels about Charlotte getting the convention? Not 3 weeks before the announcement they said Charlotte was the most bigoted city in the South, because they had a snow make up day on MLK's Birthday. Wow! Guess the Democrat's will lose their black supporters since they are having their convention in such a bigoted place???? I am way off topic here so I will stop LOL.

I assume that you and I are paying for that posh resort. That goes to show how much respect they have for the people they are supposed to be working for. Don't you wish people like us could be in DC and pass some common sense laws governing their expenditures?

hi parated oh my how tragic lol they have to work while at the posh Virgtina resort. so washington is a place for pleasure.yep royalty wannabees. wish I was that well off instead of being in this tiresome retirement center that takes most of my social security and ssi checks each month for board and room. I wonder what would happen if these wealthy democrats and re publicans too had to live like ordinary people do without all their money and posh surroundings? maybe they w ould better understand what working and middle class people have to do to survey,hard work and no so much time off. bet they would be screaming to go back to their life of luxury.
