Let Them Eat Twinkies

[bondwooley]

From and outside poll:

Humiliating the poor has become a true sport for conservatives.

Whether it’s Herman Cain telling 17 million unemployed Americans that if they don’t have jobs they have no one to blame but themselves, or the Republican governor of Maine adding his state to the growing list of states that want to require anyone applying for welfare benefits to submit to a drug test, or Mississippi becoming the 31st state to adopt stringent voter I.D. laws designed to suppress the votes of people less likely to have drivers’ licenses (how many millionaires take the bus?) — the GOP message is clear: Poor people are of no importance. So why shouldn’t they think they can have a little fun at their expense?

We know what they've done so far for their shits and giggles. What do you think is next?

- Government cheese will only come in Limburger?

- Any unemployed woman applying for a job must be groped by Herman Cain?

- Seats on all public transportation will be replaced with whoopie cushions?

Pretend to be a Republican in today's environment ... What evil plan would YOU have up your sleeve? What's next?

6. LOL! I can see that. Well, you know what I mean.

It's kind of like keeping the downtrodden in a zoo or circus where they can preform tricks and make the humans amused but feel superior. I think that's a good parallel. HA!

7. Another thought

In an act of kindness, they could set free millions of lab rats and replace them with the millions of people living below the poverty line.
