The House GOP’s 5 Ways To Get By With Less Food

http://www.politicalgarbagechute.com/the-house-republicans-present-5-ways-to-get-by-with-less-food/


#5. Exteme Makeover — Starvation Style. C’mon, so your cupboards will be a little bit more bare this winter. So your stomach might growl incessantly. Just think of all that weight you’re going to lose! Don’t think of this as Congress making a draconian cut to a benefit you need to survive while they eat, drink and get medical attention from the same taxpayers they claim they’re defending by starving you! Think of this as a government-sponsored Extreme Make Over! You’re going to look trim and svelte, or at the very least emaciated and weak. You’re welcome!

#4. Share Your Food With Your Pets! Maybe instead of worrying about how to pay for your food and your dog’s food, just pool resources! After all, we Republicans have long-held the belief that Granny and Gramps could do jus fine with a little less Social Security and a lot more Meow Mix. So why not get started now, while you’re still young? We don’t plan to have Social Security for you lot anyway, so the sooner you get used to the subtle dance that puppy chow does on your taste buds the better.

#3. Eat Your Pets! So we know that as we further choke the life out of the middle class on our sycophantic crusade to rob our government of all its ability to help you that it may become impossible for you to even share your food with Fido. So you’re going to have to eat Fido. Sure, you could look at it negatively — like you’re eating a member of your own family — or you can be a RUGGED INDIVIDUALIST and kill your dog and eat it. Your choice, Commie.


#1. Honestly? Who Gives a Fuck? Pass the Gravy! We got ours. Now go get yours. What’s that? You don’t think it’s fair? You think it’s totally bogus hypocrisy that we’d vote out measures to feed the truly needy over some obsession with a clearly small minority of people who abuse the system while we dine out on your dollar? You think it’s a sham that we’d hurt real people while protecting the 100 billion dollars in corporate welfare we give out every year?

and replaced by officials that do give a shit. Bring back some sanity.

SNAP's program as well as others that help the least of us are not a burden on the economy. These assholes are. One of the 7 sins is GREED. Thats a simple fact. 1%ers don't want to give an inch on paying their fair taxes but rather take food out of the mouths of children and seniors. Sick fucks.

You said it, they just don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. They didn't come to congress to help those who need help, and those who really might have wanted to help have found that the "MONEY" they get from lobbyists far out weigh the ideas that they may have had of helping the country. That goes for both sides of the isle since some democrats voted to cut the food stamp program also.

I pointed out the sam thing, that one of the 7 sins was greed, and the guy I was talking with, message board, pointed out that those 7 sins were not "listed" in the Bible in a group of sins that were bad. Sure you can find all kinds of reference to them being bad, but for him they were not listed all in one scripture where it said "do not do these 7 things". So I guess republicans who claim to be "christians" just pick and chose what they want from the Bible to justify their lack of love that Jesus said we should have for out neighbors.

As you said, the only way to fix this problem is to "VOTE" them out of office. We need to make sure that next year we do just that. I don't buy all the BS on this board about how voters should "stay home and not vote", or vote for third party candidates to try and teach the party a lesson. All that BS was used back in 2010, and look what that got us. Republicans taking over the House, state governments, and lots of local governments. Anyone can look at the damage that has been done in states like Wisconsin, Florida, Maine, etc. and should realize that that was a huge mistake, one we can not afford to repeat in 2014.
