Fox Business host: Feeding hungry seniors is ‘called buying votes’

[phantom power]

The GOP does it the old fashioned way: they feed billionaires giant bailouts and tax breaks, which is called buying campaign contributions.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Tuesday accused the AARP of signing hungry seniors up for food stamps as part of a “buy-the-vote campaign” to benefit President Barack Obama.

On Saturday, the Tribune-Democrat reported that the Pennsylvania chapter of the AARP launched an effort to sign more people up for food assistance after finding that “almost 350,000 seniors in Pennsylvania do not always have enough money to buy food.”

“It’s called buying votes,” Varney opined on Tuesday. “It’s happening in Pennsylvania, Georgia, a couple of other states.”

1. I agree.

The GOP should counter this disgusting tactic of feeding seniors by printing their candidates names/faces on cat food cans and handing them out free to seniors.

2. Sometimes don't you just want to smack these people

on the side of the head with a 2X4. I'm not advocating violence. But as for Varney, well some things are better left unsaid.

“But if they’re hungry they should get it, and if they qualify,” co-host Steve Doocy noted.

“Yeah, should they?” Varney grimaced. “Should people be going out there, ‘Give it to me! Give it to me now!’ You want that? Is that America?”

Give me strength!

3. I think we've heard this before. "Useless eaters."

Not to trigger Godwin's Law, but the person who said that was Adolph Hitler.

I suspect it was Stuart Varney who brought up the topic.

How dare old people want to eat!!

5. Going out of their way to starve seniors is called throwing votes away

I do hope they keep being such ignorant, short sighted idiots. It's the only way we'll ever get rid of the lot of them.

7. Someone want to point out to this moron that Obama can't run for a third term?
