Louie Gohmert demonstrates conservative logic, AGAIN.

[auditor0007]

Corporate welfare is fine - but fuck poor people.

Man are you dumb. You still think Obama had something to do with that phone program.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Thursday denied it was “evil” for Republicans to want to cut food stamps because poor people used the program to purchase extravagant foods.

The Texas congressman complained that Democrats had portrayed Republicans as evil because they supported a measure to cut nearly 2 million low-income people off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which would mainly impact working families with children.

On the other hand, Gohmert said, poor people were using food stamps to buy food that other Americans could not afford. He claimed his “broken-hearted” constituents had repeatedly told him they had seen people use food stamps to buy king crab legs.

“Because he does pay income tax, he doesn’t get more back than he pays in, he is actually helping pay for king crab legs when he can’t pay for them for himself,” Gohmert explained.

The average amount of food stamp they get is 133/month.

what a windfall!!

do you think they can get MORE if they blow it on crab legs???

NO.

is Ghomert a Goober?

YES

Why don't the GOP support ending subsidy for corporations?

Why just poor people?

Poor people need better lobbyists!

What you call "corporate subsidies" are also referred to as tax breaks and incentives. If you insist that they are subsidies and must be ended, so be it. In fact, with already the highest corporate tax rates in the world, increased regulation, more legal liability, see what happens when you take away what you deem as "subsidies".

I keep seeing you post about the libertarian and far right types in the GOP and how they are hurting it. . . . The only people hurting the GOP are Karl Rove, . . . McShame, Jeff is a Flake, Lyndsey "Benedict Arnold" Gramnesty, the Kleenex man John Boehner and other such liars and turncoats.

Your post shows why the Gohmerts and their despicable mini me minions are the shame of America.

You make-believe Americans are the ones who will give America to the Democratic Party.

However, when Christie wins the nomination in 2016 and then the election, he is going to tell your wing to shut the fuck up and play nice or get your asses out the door.

daveman finally gets something right.

End all corporate welfare, regardless of whom and what party it benefits.

Jake's idea of defeating the Democratic Party is for the GOP to become indistinguishable from it.

If you think CC is "indistinguishable" from a Democrat, then you have no business telling the GOP what to do, because you cannot tell the dif. That's your problem, not the mainstream of the GOP.

As Leftofleft pointed out, what you idiots call corporate "welfare" are incentives for business to operate and grow.

Look at the business leaving CA and IL. These two liberal states' policies are driving employers away -- and the liberals in charge simply can't make the connection that they're causing the loss.

Go ahead, do it nationwide -- and watch even more companies take their business overseas.

Who will you blame then? Oh, yeah -- the people who warned you it would happen.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Keep thinking and arguing stupidly, daveman, that is what you do.

Let supply and demand act naturally, without government interference, and the best companies will survive and give the best products to the customers.

As has been repeatedly pointed out to you, morons like you are insisting the GOP slide even further to the left.

We get it, you want one-party rule -- the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party Lite.

Keep running off and demonizing conservatives. You're only helping the Democrats.

But that's your goal, isn't it?

But you don't want a lack of government interference.

Again, look at CA and IL. That's what you want for all of America.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I just told you to let supply and demand without government interference to allow the best companies to survive and give the best products to the consumes.

You mean, the above is what YOU don't want.

Don't be stupid, boy, unless, as I suspect, you simply can't help it.

Corporate welfare is fine - but fuck poor people.

Nope. Both are wrong. There is nothing right about gm receiving billions of taxpayer monies or ge getting billions in tax breaks. This is what your president allowed yet you say you harp against it.

You said the same thing about that greasy shoe salesman from Utah.

How'd that work out for ya, ya poseur?

It's different when Obama does it. Somehow. It just is.

Unsurprisingly, Fakey is fawning over the Republican who's been kissing Obama's ass.

Nah, unlike you, Christie has the best interest of Americans at heart, just not the knob knockers of the reactionary right. Let go of it, daveman, let the semen stop poisoning your brain, and think for a change.
