Ah, but they chose to have an income of $45K per year. I mean really, why couldn’t the father simply have chosen to take a $10 million a year CEO position? Those usually come with full health insurance too! Problem solved!

Bottom line is they went through the process and were approved, meaning somebody who knew more about it than you decided they did need it.

Bottom line is the family could afford health insurance and didn’t need big govt to step in yet again.

For you libs, what shouldn’t the govt control?

atheist is right, we’ll never hate as good as them. Our strength is our numbers, which means we ought to be able to put representatives in power who will advance our interests, and tamp down teh bad. Somehow that doesn’t seem to be happening, though.

Where does it come from? It’s circulating in the air currents…

the bloggers made the mistake of using Information Technology against Poindexter.. it was meant to demonstrate the danger of hackers, but instead only helped conservatives turn information abuse into a campaign tactic.

keep in mind that any new dirty tricks invented by progressives soon become the standard operating procedure for conservatives.. even as we give up on them as unethical.

We don’t need to go that far. Slots Bennett has been intimidated by undergrads who politely called him on his BS, Coulter was flummoxed when Alan Colmes asked her to apologize to him, Fats Limbaugh has to fake his own transcripts, etc…

To approach St. Braddelsex’s question, it’s hate not fear. Fear is a good thing. What you do in response to your fear is the tricky bit.

These people leaning on the kid are the guys who are feeding the 25%. For all their efforts to avoid introspection, they are reaching the walls of our decadence first. What happens to their followers?

Take a wingnut to lunch.

How about large agribusinesses that take advantage of subsidies meant for small farms? Let’s hang around in their lobby and ask what their buildings are worth.

Drug companies that get write offs to keep their manufacturing in America? (Including, as someone has mentioned, the Marianas, where there aren’t really any labor laws to speak of.) We need to start emailing FOX News and telling them we don’t think these guys are really in need of that.

Oh, hey, how about the tax loophole that gave people a write off for their Hummers on the grounds it was a business vehicle? Are they all, every one of them, being used by a business? Are we sure? Let’s ask their neighbors.

Mining rights on public lands? Logging? Grazing privileges? The use of public airwaves? Let’s check ‘em all out, make sure nobody’s getting anything they can afford themselves.

It amazes me that the party of corporate welfare can actually talk about this without being struck by lightning. There are millions of government programs that help millions of people who may not actually need the help. Sam Donaldson, gentleman rancher, used to belong to a government program that had people shooting coyotes on his land to protect his cattle. Sure, he could afford to pay for it himself, but that’s not the point he explained. The program was there, he was eligible, and there was nothing immoral about taking advantage of that. Quick, let’s stake out Sam.

For that matter, let’s take out and shoot everyone who has ever used one of those Matthew Lesko books.

Your handout from the government? Proof that you are a leech on the body politic. My handout from the government? I pay my taxes and the government owes me certain services.

How pert?

On a scale of one to ten…

I knew Malkin et al. were horrible people … but, man, this is just stunning.
