>Republicans really have a lot of gall to be screaming government waste about social programs (like food stamps) after they put this country into bankruptcy paying back their corporate buddies with tax breaks.
WASTE.
The investigations and screams should be aimed at corporations like Haliburton (Cheney’s old firm) for the waste in government contracts they received. Not only did this company get rich on the war, they did it at the expense of the lives of our soldiers.
Showers that electrocuted soldiers. Water that made soldiers sick. Food that made soldiers sick. Defective supplies, that did not work. After documented negligence like these, they got their government contracts renewed.
But, of course, food stamp fraud (about 5% of the fraud in Defense contracts) is more important than soldiers lives.
These Republicans are playing sick political games. Trying to get the public to forget about their fraud, and use their positions of authority and bully pulpits to raise public anger against liberal government help programs.
They not only helped kill our soldiers with their negligence and fraud, but they now attack the programs millions of Americans are depending on, to get them through this depression that the Republicans created.
Takes a singular sick bastard(s) to behave in such a manner.
Of course food stamp fraud is happening. It has since the food stamp program started. There is fraud in every government program since they all started. That does not mean these programs do not serve the people well, they do.
What kind of politician would put the small amount of food stamp fraud as a priority over the much larger abuses, that killed our soldiers?
Playing politics with our soldiers lives, AGAIN.
These Republicans have no morals. They have no conscience. They don’t care if American soldiers die for their selfish purposes. They only know the politics of fear and hate. That exposes a weak opponent, which means a weaker majority leadership.
If Democrats cannot use the true facts to convince Americans what Republicans have done to America, has hurt America, then they deserve to lose majority.
>Very well said Tom! I believe we can scream it to the roof tops what the right has done to the American people, but they are deaf, dumb, and blind when it comes to their sacred party.
>I fully agree, Tom. The fraud in social welfare cannot hold a candle to that in corporate welfare.
>There seems to be about 30% of Americans who will support Republicans no matter what. If God himself defined Republican policies as harmful to America, they would still vote Republican.
