Why throw in Nadler and Moore? They can fast for all of us.

[Pat4ever]

What part of “we are broke” doesn’t Tony Hall understand???
Fund your own programs Tony, and pull in your lib friends. We are struggling to feed our own families right here at home.

[BenLurkin]

If he really knows anyone who is going hungry then let him give that person $40 a week. Leave the rest of us out it.

[Vaquero]

fast till you croak...see if I care

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hall and his “fasters” are liars. If there is a problem with hunger, why is Michelle spending all those taxpayer dollars on an “anti-obesity” program and why are we importing poverty from central and south America into this country? Hmmmmm? Also, why is the government encouraging us to burn our food in our automobiles? Hmmmmm? Somebody is lying.

[ReneeLynn]

And not eating accomplishes what?

[Happy Rain]

We have obese shiftless “hungry” in America and “hungry” foreigners who still have to buy the food we send them that their Dictators steal and sell to them.
Let these useful idiots of socialist income redistribution starve themselves but find out where—then build a BBQ hut next door upwind.

The heads of five anti-hunger organizations on Monday will lead open-ended fasts to protest proposed cuts to domestic and international food programs contained in the House-passed six month spending bill.

WTF are 'open-ended fasts?'

[Steely Tom]

I wonder if this is going to be one of those “rotating fasts” (if that’s the right term) that Jesse Jackson tried to pull off ten or twelve years ago. In a rotating fast, a team of people each eat nothing for some time period, like eight hours or four hours or even one hour. At the end of the time period, the “fasting person” goes and gets something to eat, and another person from the team “takes up the fast,” eating nothing for another time interval. The press covers this as if it were a “fast” or a “hunger strike,” giving media attention to whomever is designated as the “spokesman” for the fast group.

....will lead open-ended fasts...

...WTF is an "open-ended fast"?....would this mean that they fast until they get hungry, then the fast is off?

...lying sacks of shiite...

...if they are going to fast, then FAST....until weakness and possible death occurs..

..lets see just how many people really care about these weasles.

..."open ended fast" my ass!

They can fast all they want. There is no money. There is no money. They either cannot figure that out, or they do not care or understand basic economics. Clearly they are Democrats who know only tax and spend.

[reg45]

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

[television is just wrong]

so what let them fast....

[kempo]

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

[pnh102]

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.

[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."

[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.

[radioone]

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