If he starves himself to death the Constitution will be a little safer with one less Nazi Socialist Democrat.

The most over weight people in the grocery store use food stamps.

Is this a real fast or one of those "rolling fasts" where you can eat ever few hours?

If it is the former, then I say the GOP holds out for as long as possible, and allow for the left to starve itself to death.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Fine. Starve.

[Matchett-PI]

"When he starves to death, that will be one less to suck on the government teat."

More precisely, "When he starves to death, that will be one less nihilist loser to suck on the government teat." bttt

"...when you create a victim, you create a nihilist. Why? Because once victim status is secured, then you are no longer burdened by a conscience. You are sanctioned to abandon yourself to your most primitive instincts, because the order of the cosmos is unfair and illegitimate, so anything you do to set things right is inherently moral, no matter how immoral. "

[Twinkie]

What ever it is - THROW MORE MONEY AT IT! Borrowing money to be magnanimous is dishonourable. - The American people have always been generous when we had it to give.

[Matchett-PI]

"..And as Tom Sowell writes, progressives don't really have any genuine interest in actually helping the poor, since victims are their most important constituency. Quite simply, fewer victims means less power for leftists: "Despite whatever the left may say, or even believe, about their concern for the poor, their actual behavior shows their interest in the poor to be greatest when the poor can be used as a focus of the left's denunciations of society.... When the poor stop being poor, they lose the attention of the left. What actions on the part of the poor, or what changes in the economy, have led to drastic reductions in poverty seldom arouse much curiosity, much less celebration."

[Vaquero]

let them eat $h!t and bark at the moon.....

[Georgia Girl 2]

Can we drag it out long enough for Tony to actually starve to death?

[chris_bdba]

Let me guess this wll be more a Cindy Sheehan fast than a real one where the person really starves? Democrats are such failures they can’t even do a hunger strike right.

[azhenfud]

Actually, fasting has an excellent chance to do the food programs AND those who fast beneficial good.

[dfwgator]

Starvation is euphoric.

[WVNan]

Thanks for pointing me to Gagdad Bob’s site. Pretty awesome intellectual discussions. I have it securely bookmarked.

[radioone]

Here's a Fat Dem that should join 'em.

[Matchett-PI]

You’re welcome!

Jim Wallis could use a good 40 day fast.

[Mr. K]

"He pointed out in an interview that 50 million Americans and 1 billion worldwide do not have enough to eat"

50 Million americans? One out of every 6 people? I guess they really dont have to worry about lamestream media doing any fact checking.

But if 1 out of 6 people in USA are starving, with the AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPEND ON THE FREELOADERS, then we need to find a much more efficent way to spend the trillions of dollars per year we are spenidng.
