He is another example of a wolf-in-sheep's clothing, using the Repubican Party to get elected. He has more libertarian views ans is supported by the gay community that believes he is a closet gay. We all know the damage they do.

We all remember what Reagan said about Libertarians. God bless the infiltrators!
Bauer's remarks came during a speech in which he said government should take away assistance if those receiving help didn't pass drug tests or attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings if their children were receiving free and reduced-price lunches.
Or this?
Later in his speech, he said, “I can show you a bar graph where free and reduced lunch has the worst test scores in the state of South Carolina,” adding, “You show me the school that has the highest free and reduced lunch and I'll show you the worst test scores, folks. It's there, period. So how do you fix it? Well you say, ‘Look, if you receive goods or services from the government then you owe something back.'”............... “You go to a school where there's an active participation of parents and guess what? They have the highest test scores. So what do you do? You say, ‘Look folks, if you receive goods or services from the government and you don't attend a parent-teacher conference, bam, you lose your benefits.' We're going to have to do things like that. We can't afford to keep just giving money away.”
This is the first I have ever heard of the guy, and while his analogy of feeding stray animals was off putting at best he really isn't saying anything that outlandish. Why not have people on government assistance be required to attend parent teacher conferences? Or if they are currently unemployed, why not make them 'volunteer' at their childs school? And yes - if a parent can't pass a drug test then that person has no right to parent. Drug addicts are bad parents, why is that news?
I don't know much about this guy as I don't live in SC. That said, I would much rather feed strays than those would could theoretically help themselves but choose not to.
I don't see a problems with forcing parents who receive govt handouts to attend a PTA meeting or god forbid a parent-teacher conference to discuss their own child's progress! For crap sakes, what's wrong with these parents that they wouldn't want to be involved in their child's education?
I do. And while Lt Gov Bauer's choice of words may not have been "politically correct", he does have a very good point. There are way too many able body people who recieve gov't assistance and don't do a thing for it. It also hurts the people who really need it.
