Default Progressives have no shame

Buying votes one entitlement at a time.

he should be embarrassed to even say that, but then what do you expect from a person who knows nothing about actual job creation-all he knows is shaking companies down for personal profit.

Jesse should stick to talking about cutting off Obamas nuts, that's about the level of his brain capacity.

Who amongst you agree with Jesse Jackson? Particularly the black forum members....come forth and stake your ground.

I'd love to guage Loyalty To The Race™ in this situation.

Do you agree or not? It's an HONOR to be a food stamp President?

Thanks.

When most Americans support them, why shouldn't he listen to the public. Isn't this still a government of the people?

jackson has not only been ineffective in helping black people in america (other than himself, i mean), but he was a disaster as an envoy in africa too:

Jackson’s stint as “presidential special envoy” to Africa during Bill Clinton’s second term is without a doubt the least reported disgrace of the Clinton years. Not only did Jackson broker a disastrous peace agreement for Sierra Leone that brought a serial murderer into government, he helped block an international accord cracking down on the trafficking of “war diamonds” that were fueling the conflict.

jackson is a race hustler, pure and simple.

It is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic, not a collective feeding trough through which to utilize taxpayer monies tp purchase voting power. Can you not see the difference?

Jesse doesn't have any idea what creates jobs, does he?

I know what you are saying, but the Constitution clearly states its a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

If the people want entitlements, who are you to say they are wrong? Shouldn't our elected officials follow the will of the people? Thats the way the government is set up, and its why we have elections every 2,4, and 6 years, so if the people change their minds, they can change their elected officials.

Are you saying the founding fathers are wrong?

Poll Reveals Deep Support for Food Stamps, Opposition to Cutting Program

I'm not saying the system doesn't need to be revamped, but Americans say that

If you work, you shouldn't be homeless, go hungry, or go without healthcare, and that the government should tax to make sure that doesn't happen.

So again, were the founding fathers wrong?
