About time he puts up or shuts up.

Or has he paraphrased Lenin's 'A lie told often enough becomes truth' into 'A Tweet tweeted often enough becomes reality'?

Where is it written that one must agree with compulsory charity by force of government in order to " care about the poor"?

You guys keep trashing republicans because they "don't care about the poor". So since you guys support funding the poor, I want to know how many people you are going to support out of pocket.

I'm looking for either a number of people (0, 1, 2, etc.), or a dollar amount.
This is truly pathetic. Threads like this should be shut down.

You have a full mouth of "but they make me pay taxes" however you still benefit of other's taxes past and current.
I have no problem with the "government" offering any services (as long as they don't make themselves a monopoly) like a business would. Flat fees for all for services rendered and requested voluntarily is only moral. You assume I am against paying for anything and nothing could be farther from the truth. What I am against is involuntary slavery, extortion, racketeering, and coercion, whether it is perpetrated by the "government" or any other criminal institution or thug.

Just as I thought. All of these democrats claiming that we need to provide healthcare for the poor, and not one of them offering to spend their own money to make it happen. They just want to impose their charity on someone else.

Read, enslave all to the interests of the fictional collective. Slavery of some for the benefit of others.

Republicans seem to constantly tell us we need to spend MORE $$$ on the military, care to show us the pictures of them lining up to spend their $$$ to make that happen?


"provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare" is a pretty unspecific statement. Implying that only some folks who favor doing those things in a certain way are wrong and should pay for it out of pocket is BS, nothing more.

My insurance pre-obama care was around 500-600 a month-That simply is not realistic. The problem is that health care is even an industry in America, as opposed to pretty much EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY.

WW II was a liberal war? Are you telling us after Pearl Harbor that conservatives would've just turned the other cheek and walked away?

BTW, cons pay for Iraq yet? Afghanistan? Or Nixon's expeditions into Laos and Cambodia?
