>>Until the Republicans come up with a food stamp bill. This is going to look like the Republicans are completely against food stamps. And that will cost them a ton of votes.

No it won’t. People on food stamps don’t vote Republican. I say if the Rats want to buy those votes they should to use their own money.

"No it won’t. People on food stamps don’t vote Republican."

You'd be surprised at how many Republicans are on food stamps thanks to our stupid trade policies that have outsourced our jobs.

“What does food stamps have to do with the farm bill anyway?”

IIRC the Food Stamp Program is administered by the Dept. of Agriculture.

Sheila Jackass Lee.

Delta has refused to fly her ass anywhere anytime. She thinks she is da queen, but she’s merely an aberration that has been elected and re-elected by a gaggle of African-Africans.

The good lady needs to spend a few days as a checker in a grocery especially on the day the Food Stamp accounts get their monthly allotments. Last Wednesday was EBT day in my state and I witnessed grocery carts full of steaks, soda, cookies, chips and every manner of junk food all paid for with my taxes. The EBT patrons then wheeled their carts of free food to the Wine and Spirits department where I work and paid cash for cases of beer. Our beer sales spike on EBT day.

Is there a member of Congress who is more ignorant that this idiot (Hank Johnson excepted)?

Well, there is Maxine Waters of LA, CA and also in CA are the Sanchez sisters. Also remember that HankJ is in the Cynthia McKinney Memorial Moon-bat seat from the Hotlanta, as bad as he is (and he is), he can't be worse than she was.

Remember, these people are in 'privileged seats' similar to England's old 'rotten boroughs'. By gerrymandering these districts, both parties find things to agree upon in the end results. As old Otto von Bismarck said ... it is ugly in the sausage factory!

Especially considering that said taxpayers often have to postpone having children until they are at least somewhat financially secure, while having to pay taxes all the while to help support those who consider it their “right” to breed like rabbits on the taxpayers’ dime.
