Wellfare and foodstamps for the working should be done away with. Its a form of corporate subsidy. They get to pay their workers low wages, pocket the profit and have their workers subsidized by taxes.
Actually, the "working" should be the only people eligible for any assistance. The "non-working" are the ones who abuse the system and shouldn't be getting anything. ...other than those who are disabled and aren't "faking it".

Fox news is a joke, they can't handle they have an absolute idiot presidential candidate to defend.
They also can't handle that their 50% of the country do not pay taxes talking point has been debunked.edit on 21-9-2012 by RealSpoke because: (no reason given)
its 49.7% dont pay federal "INCOME TAX's". its never been debunked. Money is withheld in pay checks and given back as tax returns at the end of the year resulting in a brake even or positive credit back in taxes.edit on 21-9-2012 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)edit on 21-9-2012 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)
Candidates are both stupid and deceitful at the same time. They're like comic book villains. I can't see how we go through anything that is close to reality in an election. It looks like an expensive show to make us think we can make a difference. There are so many people out there qualified to lead, and they don't get far up the chain. The late night clowns appear to only help us release the uncomfortableness we feel by shoving the gaffs. They don't show the cracks. It sure looks like misdirection.

What would you say if they were a group made up primarily of Black people and some of them had made racial slurs against a White leader?

Since all of us conservatives are so stupid, I'll propose that we forgo voter ID in exchange for a requirement that one must solve one middle school algebra problem in order to get a ballot. I'll take my chances on the election results, since the left has to depend on ignorance to get elected, whose base must be vastly uneducated or the DOJ wouldn't be fighting to let people vote who are too ignorant to get an ID.

I have a feeling that if Chris Christie said this he would be labeled honest. A Truth-talker. Same with Ron Paul. But because the left can't run on THEIR record, they have to use any and every means necessary to take down the other guy. Is it so shocking because it's true? Half the country won't vote for Mitt. Not because of his policies. Not because of what he did or didn't do at Bain. Because these people see that little donkey on the ballot and that's where they pull the lever. As long as they are getting theirs from the gubmint, they aren't interested in the fact that they are soon to be penalized/taxed for not carrying private health care. They don't care that we're soon to see another credit downgrade because we're printing money 24/7 and soon to see inflation followed by hyperinflation. We've been warned.
ps - 2008 was like, 4 Mays ago, not 14.

I do not know where you got the 2008 figure. Here is the big picture with the correct year.

I keep seeing people talk about Fox News, first off, if your "IQ" was truly as high as you like to prtend it is, you would know the difference between "News" and what Beck and Riley do.
They are opinion segments, not news.
The issue is, the idiots who watch it like gospel don't know the difference, and therein lies the problem.

Illegal Wars?
Congress sends us to war, not the President.
I would recommend you google the vote to go to war and look at all the Democrats that votes YEA.
The whole Bush sent us to war bit has run its course, it only works to rile up those who dont understand how govt works.
You so quickly forget the lies and deciet used to get congress to approve of the war that bush took us into
