Is quit feeding these stupid lying scum sucking idiot polliticains.
These bastards do breed and cause more problems then all the stray animals and poor people the world over!
republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness and people like this guy are all the proof you need!

The concept of getting lower-income parents involved in PTAs isn't a bad idea. If you gave the poor that sort of voice, imagine what sort of reforms they'd be able to enact.

And then imagine what other reforms lower-income families could accomplish when they realized what they were capable of. Some of them might (horror!) try to run for public office.

Oh, and before someone complains that working people might not be able to make it, I have a simple solution: Paid time off, just like jury duty.

He's your typical religious conservative. He wants religious license plates in his state. And as that religious conservative helping thy brother is optional. And we thought Sanford was bad. Eh, SC deserves his.

Why is it that so many of the fundie christers are so unlike the guy they worship?

They seem to get just about everything twisted around to benefit themselves, rather than those who were supposed to have benefited from the benevolence of the guy they worship.

Smells a lot like hypocrisy to me...

it's based in that... teach a man to fish ideology. At least, that's my hunch. Never-mind all the good fishing holes are taken...

Please quit feeding Mark Sanford. He is a proven breeder.

the exception to the rule.
"No one could be that stupid and live".

Definitely too much inbreeding by the Southern Whites , genetically defective and brain damaged they seem to be adept at becoming politicians how ever .

Chances are he accurately represents the people who support him. It's their right to elect any bigoted moron they want, but this should not deter us from publicizing his craziness nationally.

This is the kind of shit that makes you just shake your head in disbelief. I hope that's his macaca moment. Sadly it may be what pushes him over the finish line.

Many of the comments on the original linked story are very depressing. Someone calling themselves "sharethelove" has a full-on ALL CAPS racist rant...

With the Blue State welfare.

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman..."

Seems to run in the family I guess.

I thought the anti-abort, pro doctor-killing party wants people to breed.

So the truth comes out. They only want inbred white rednecks to breed.

I get it now.

When I read the headline, I assumed he was talking about foreign aid or Haiti (which is bad enough).

But he's talking about lunches for public school kids.

I'm speechless.

An honest christian/republican!

This is exactly what their policies boil down to. Most of them just don't have the guts to say so in an open forum (ya think that's why Bible Spice and the tea party thugs don't allow the press into their club meetings?).

then these white supremacists and jew haters go to their white church and believe that the lie of christ will save them. anyone who follows the lie of christ, in any way, is just as guilty as these southern fried brains......

When Newt Gingrich was Speaker, he had the idea that children of poor families should be taken from their parents and put into orphanages.

Yes, the guy's an idiot. I don't know why the Haves of this country want the Have-Nots to Have Not. I'd rather not see people begging, starving, homeless, distressed, I'd rather see opps for them. Some need help, some are lazy do-nothings. I used to have nothing but sympathy for the poor/needy but now, well, many are there for a reason and the system just compounds things when welfare becomes generational.

If I study and try hard in school/work and somebody else wants to sit in the back of the class and shoot spitballs why should I have to support that person later? In a certain regard, let them make it on their own. In another regard, share enough as a society just to keep them out of the way so the contributors can contribute something.

To be an absurdist, which I am more and more becoming, I'd offer this:

Since we're now determining who can not marry, why don't we list them all at once?
A man and woman who both smoke can not marry.
A man and woman who are both obese or too thin can not marry.
A man and woman who are both below the poverty line can not marry
(Can you believe the poverty line is at like 23K for a family of four!!! Show me one politician who could live solo on 23K!!!)
If your marriage does not produce a child within in 5 years it is annulled unless you renew your vows.
If your marriage does produce a child, you may not get divorced.

Then there's the question of who should be able to have a kid in the first place. Only married people?

I just wish people wanted the children they have. It's truly sad to be born on the bench and think you're a loser.

I hope this made some sort of sense.

Be well or be better.

this guy would agree to Haliburton giving a 20% off coupon on the next war....

since you don't git sumpin for nuntin....

...they would admit it, but this is basically the result of any major downswing in the conservative dream, a 100% capitalist free market; the death (preferably by starvation) of approximately 10% of the poorest population, the thought being that the productive will survive, while the unproductive perish. In their minds, this also solves the majority of the unemployment and crime problems at the same time.

...'the rest of the story' of which Graham, that Senator from South Carolina, was alluding to when he complained that expanding health-care in 'his' state would cost so much because of poverty, AND, the high percentage of 'blacks' (aka colored people)...and they breed so just think of how much that costs.

South Carolina...that wonderful place that not only has given us Graham, but Demint, and Wilson, and Sanford, and The Civil War, and, who can forget, Strom - you know the one that that Mississippi Senator claimed would have solved all our problems with them, er, 'people of color'.

I'm sure that Bauer is a supporter of 'abstinence only' education, which has been proven ineffective. I'm also certain that he opposes taxpayer-funded abortions.

So he and his ilk set up a situation where the poor in his state are deliberately kept ignorant of how to effectively limit the number of children they have, and prevented from aborting pregnancies that they cannot afford to bring to term.

In terms of taxpayer dollars:
Cheapest - prevent any unwanted / unaffordable pregnancies in the first place, with effective, affordable, readily available birth control.
Cheaper - making abortion available to women who cannot afford to have and raise their children.
Most expensive - forcing poor women to bear children they cannot afford, and burdening the taxpayer for the lifetime of those children - food, housing, medical care as children, and then, when they are adults, the (possible) crime and prison cycle.

My Father wasn't well educated either and he told me all the terrible, terrible things about NI66ERs a long time ago.

I just didn't listen.

BTW folks, please don't validate the fallicy of "race" by calling the idiot Bauer a "racist."

He is a bigot.

It's interesting how people who claim to be "pro-life" and act like they care about kids so much basically promote eugenics and social Darwinism...

This guy's departures from logic are off the chart. And, despite his being a practicing Methodist, his departures from what Jesus preached are equally as far off. How far is it from this to eugenics and ethnic cleansing?

Get rid of the poor by starvation. Oh, he's a compassionate Republican.
