Republicans in 2012 want to give cover to their own lack of fiscal conservatism often say Bubba Clinton had no surpluses. I'll take the liberty to respond with, the Republican Party, itself, admitted to those Clinton surpluses! http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/july-dec00/platform2.html "REPUBLICAN PLATFORM 2000-July 31, 2000 - In the first part of the Republican national platform, the party outlines its economic goals." George W. Bush talked about those very surpluses in the link above.

Thanks so much for all your Republican party talking points. Just why should my taxpayer's dollars subsidize sugar consumption, high fructose corn syrup consumption, partially hydrogenated soybean oil consumption and ethanol mandates? Will we all go naked if cotton is not subsidized? This is the Republican party. BIG government when it suits me, small government for you!

Many Republicans say, "how could we eat without helping the farmer...." Either you have a belief in small government and free markets or you do not. These Republicans should be time-traveled and air-dropped into a Soviet collective farm where they would fit right in. Stalin's pretext for collectivization was "If the government doesn't get involved, people will starve!" I am afraid to say, staunch Republicans feel the same.

Remember......the Christmas day bomber got a lot of the card-carrying Republicans very afraid and upset. These Republicans screeched that our foreign-born Islamic president should fly back from Chicago (or wherever) and comfort the nation with a speech from the White House saying everything will be O.K. As a small government conservative I consider these Republicans to be silly. I do not need some father figure from the government telling me everything is going to be O.K. every time some terrorist fails to set his underwear on fire. Yes, in times of great crisis, like Pearl Harbor or 9-11, the country needs direction.

Republicans were once people who welcomed the advances of science and education, were generally civil in their dealings with political opponents, shunned conspiracism and outrageous paranoia, and were not constantly sounding the alarm about the impending end of civilization. For those in the Republican, Neo-Con, Tea Party conspiracist subculture, Obama as president, represents a constitutional crisis because he is seen as a traitor betraying the country to secret elites plotting a collectivist totalitarian rule through a global New World Order. Republicans think with their blood.

The majority of people on food stamps are white. The majority of people on food stamps--irregardless of their skin color--work for a living. The basic problem is that they do not earn a living wage. And NONE of the Republican candidates on that stage has put forward a proposal that will change that. Sadly, such facts do not seem to cut much mustard with the bigoted boobs who infest the GOP in South Carolina--or impede the racist rhetoric of Newt, who over the last month has demonstrated that he is willing to say and do absolutely anything in order to preserve his meglamania.

What exactly does the phrase "...efforts by the best food stamp president in American history to maximize dependency..." mean--even in the fevered brain of Newt? Obama had no hand in setting the standards people must meet in order to qualify for food stamps--and there is zero evidence to support any assertion that Obama crashed the economy--an event the occurred before Obama was even the President-elect. More people are on food stamps because 30 years of conservative economic policies have completely and utterly failed to deliver on the broad prosperity that conservatives promised us would result from adopting their policies.
