I'd guess they could take LWOP to campaign for McCain/Palin if they
wanted to. Any cites to indicate that this is not the case would be
interesting reading indeed.
What is LWOP?
Leave With-Out Pay
I have no doubt that there are campaigners of both parties who are being
compensated either knowingly or unknowingly by their employers. Many are
probably govt employees being compensated by the taxpayer. If you extend
this back the last couple of years and consider that this happens every
4 years, that amounts to a lot of lost productivity.
Maybe.
As I used the joke about our infamous Governor Ev Mecham...
He was our best governor ever because...
He was good for at least one laugh per day, "Pickaninnies, etc."
He couldn't get any of his ideas passed by the legislature.
The legislature couldn't get anything past Ev's veto.
Government at its finest... at a total standstill.
Unfortunately they finally impeached him and found him guilty :-(
