I honestly don't blame them - if I could afford to fly by private jet I'd do it. I don't think anyone should be made to feel guilty for having enough money to do as they please. If I had money, I'd do it too.

I think they should all have to fly coach on commercial flights. They are not supposed to be any better than the rest of us. If we have to be crunched in with crappy meals, stale peanuts, and bad movies, they should, too.

I think if a person can afford to fly First Class, they should have every right to do so. If they can afford to lease their own private jet, they should be allowed to do so as well, Now, if they're using the taxpayers money to fly, then they should be forced to fly coach, but if they're using private funds to fly, then let them fly in comfort.

Once I was lucky enough to fly first class, after that I NEVER wanted to go back in sit in those crowded coach seats again. Of course, I have gone back and flown in coach again, but I don't like it.

I'm in agreement that I find it OK for them to do that. If you think about it, they're celebrities not just politicians. They're busy concentrating on their campaign and the debate that they will entail and don't want to be distracted by the public if they don't want to.

I thought the Democrats are these big environmentalists who want to save energy. Oh they want US, the peons to save energy. Got it.

IMO if they have the money to charter a flight, then they have the money to err for lack of better term "make up" to emissions that they're letting off.

But that makes it sound like you're saying that the Republicans couldn't care less about the environment or saving energy.

How is taking a private jet any different to taking a commercial jet? In terms of emissions? Why is it that people who advocate environmental awareness and responsibility seem to be expected to live in permafarm communes to have any credibility? It's just more of a way for people to generalise, typecast, stereotype - and discredit - those who are doing more than they are in the fight against climate change. Apparently, you don't really care about the environment unless you live up a tree, don't bathe and only eat leaves and dirt.
