House Dem: Romney was right, GOP doesn't care about the 47 percent

Rep. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.) on Thursday said passage of a Republican farm bill that excludes a reauthorized food stamp program shows that Republicans don't care about "the 47 percent."

"Mitt Romney was right, you all do not care about the 47 percent. Shame on you!" she yelled as she pointed to the Republican side of the House.

Earlier actions by Brown had some Republicans suggesting they'd ask for her remarks to be stricken from the record.

After Brown cried "shame on Republicans" during closing debate on the farm bill, Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.) initially asked to stop the proceedings and possibly have her words taken from the record. Woodall then withdrew that request.

1. Unfortunately the republiklans have proven time and again, that they have no shame

15. Sigh...All too true.

But then again,I guess we're just a couple of fucking retarded professional leftists. I have watched the film of FDR's "I welcome their hatred " speech a bunch of times,and keep thinking, is this REALLY that hard to do? But I guess it apparently is.

2. Mitt's advice for the 99 percent...

3. Eliminate food stamps and see how long it takes before the poor rise up

There are vast regions of america where the average person gets food stamps. Eliminate that and it is like eliminating Social Security. Hunger is a powerful motivating force.

5. We will get there. The greedy will extract every bit until we revolt. nm

6. We Need To Clean House NOW!

GOTV 2014!!!!!!!!!

Shame, is right alp.

7. Of course they don't. But the Senate overwhelmingly voted to cut food stamps -

including a large number of so-called Democrats. Democrats and Republicans both deserve to be called out on this. I don't think either party gives a shit about the 47 percent and I sure didn't hear President Obama refusing to sign the Senate's bill even though it included cuts to SNAP.

But, but.... President Obama will not sign it, right?

9. The house Dem

outstanding! Lets win back the house and keep the senate!

10. They don't care about 52.9% of the other 53% either...

...except as useful idiots.

11. 16.7 million children living in food insecure households. GOP ignores millions of Americans.

They may not have shame but the rest of the country can recognize shameful behavior.
