Just like the NC bathroom law which reared it's ugly head during election season. Foolish people backing a law because they hate transgenders. Yet for some reason they were unaware that in the same bill it blocked raising the minimum wage to $15. Another lesson on how the GOP gets the Republican working class to vote against their own self interest.

Maybe you should make your case first. You have declared a truth that most people find laughable.

No. It should be Ms. Goldman Sachs Clinton.

I just dont get it. Why are so many republicans not bothered by the elephant in the room ****ting the hole room down but instead they continue to focus on some dust in the corner like food stamp fraud?

Why are they not bothered?

Largely due to the targeted and highly successful campaign of the Dumbing Down of America.

We are bothered. Especially when the government picks and chooses winners and losers. But a lot of the whining (not all, but a lot) is nonsense. Having money taken from your paycheck while you work 50+ hours a week so some do per can sell their food stamp money for pennies on the dollar for crack or watching a non English speaking family of 7 getting medicaid, welfarw, WIC, etc while talking on iPhones and driving a newer car then me.

This post should be titled, "Here's a bunch of things I believe which I'll present as fact so I can continue cheering for my team"

For the same reason they have no problem spending other peoples' $$$ supporting the MIC while singing the blues over Democrats spending other peoples' $$$. They're nothing if not hypocrites.

Are you going to vote for Clinton? Let's hear you say she shouldn't be president, unless you're a hypocrite.

She supports the MIC and voted for war.
