Crocodile tears.

Look at what government handouts are doing to the dependent class - encouraging and enabling them to reproduce at a rate of 3 times that of those who pay the taxes to support them.
Quote:
"The 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) gave states greater flexibility to formulate and implement initiatives to reduce welfare dependency and encourage employment for members of low-income families with children. For the nation, in 2006, 10 years after passage of the Act, the birth rate for women 15 to 50 years old receiving public assistance income in the last 12 months was 155 births per 1,000 women, about three times the rate for women not receiving public assistance (53 births per 1,000 women)."

How is that sustainable?

Why is encouraging and enabling the exponential overgrowth of the dependent class a laudable goal in your opinion, OP?

Scott Garrett (NJ)-'Non-denominational/ Evangelical Christian? Really? Birther. Tea supported. Up for re election 2012.

Dan Burton (IN)- "Non-denominational/ Christian primitivism/ Christian Zionist? Really? Redistricted in 1980, he's kept that chair warm since being installed. Lots of inbreeding going on in Indiana it appears. His daughter is on payroll, and his brother takes up another chair in another district installed since 1988. Dan's last election boasted 30% support in primaries. He's is up for re election 2012.

Louie Gohmert (TX)- Southern Baptist? Really? 100% unopposed primaries, no contested democrat or libertarian running against him since he parked there post gerrymandering 2004. Tea supported. Up for reelection 2012.
PSST! Just between you and me EVERY representative is up for for re-election in 2012.

Is it your purpose now to post slanted hit pieces on EVERY member of Congress? Or are you just interested in the ones that you don't agree with?

I'm sure we can find some things to post about your heroes.

Shame on you for wanting to give these kids to their parent.
