Interesting.
Well you have one result now, this page.

Keep in mind when you use quotes Google will only return pages with that exact phrase.

Nice way to lead off with a largely irrelevant statement. Who cares what you expect. Can you answer the question and address the thread topic.

I guess not.

We're not discussing apples. I understand it's difficult, requires thought, perhaps even a bit of research; however, the question is very direct:

What do you believe is the Republican plan to help the poor?

I'm quite aware of how Google works.

Interesting.

You said "should be", so perhaps you have an answer to the question?

We have lost 9 million jobs in the last 20 months and the dems have total control of the country still today, so why even ask the question unless you are assuming the rep's take total control of congress.

Something tells me you believe they will.

The party in power has done nothing for the poor, is that why you are assuming they are going to be voted out.

Lowering taxes and creating jobs is a plan but the rep's cannot do a thing as long as the party of higher taxes and massive spending is in control.
You're funnier than usual; however, I do not assume the Republican's in control of Congress will materialize a plan to accomplish anything.

Your assertion that the Republican party is largely irrelevant is interesting.

Democrats love the poor, that's why they do so much to create a huge poverty class - because poor in the USA means government dependent - it means democrat voter.
Blame those Democrats...lol

I notice you didn't answer the question.

The topic isn't why you should help anyone.

The thread topic doesn't ask what the Government's role is, so unfortunately your synopsis is largely irrelevant.

The thread does have a topic and asks a question which you've largely ignored.

That, is interesting.
