definition of a troll: "and I refuse to chase others in a mindless, endless circle of " debate " on the internet. If I 'bitch out' of a discussion, I've said all I'm going to say on the matter, my views have been presented, and there's nothing left to add."

RUSH LIMBAUGH is a BLUE PILL ADDICT!

Dem Super Pac slams Obamacare because it really sucks and will cause herpes
Geezer
So some Democrats are running on pointing out that the Healthcare.gov rollout was an unmitigated disaster

I feel so vindicated.

"Just glad that some Democrats are acknowledging the bad job done in developing Healthcare.com." "it'll be interesting to see if these same Democrats acknowledge" "these Democrats seem to understand what the real Obama Kool-Ade drinkers still won't address" " it's about Democrats using criticism of the rollout in their campaign ads".

But we knew that already.

You want to give your $, by all means, do it. Don't force others to. Especially when there's no real NEED. That's the small part that gets over looked. Fraud and excessive benefits to those who really don't deserve our HELP, only takes $ out of the hands those who really do need our help.

The " oh, just let everyone take from the till " attitude is nonsensical, and reckless.

Study after study proves that fraud on that end is negligible. People who need assistance actually do, and denying kids food is reprehensible.

We need to raise wages, and stop paying for benefits to people who work full time because their employers would rather burden taxpayers than pay a livable wage.

The world you live in does not exist. There is MASSIVE fraud. Not everyone on assistance NEEDS it. And the govt shouldn't be the one providing for kids, the parents should.

Those who want to raise a family need to stop working for min wage, and get a real job.

You make a good point. He lives in some sort of Randian neverland, and is entirely oblivious to real, quantifiable facts.

Must be a libertarian.

Update on the subject of this thread: Paul Ryan’s ‘Brown Bag Lunch’ story was stolen from a homeless child

Paul Ryan’s “brown bag” story at the CPAC was stolen from a book. And now Ryan looks like and even bigger fool as information about the author is revealed. In typical Republican fashion, Ryan and his cronies stole someone else’s words and distorted them to fit his agenda.

In 1986 author Laura Schroff met a young panhandler named Maurice. The two end up meeting every week for the next four years and she wrote a book about their relationship. In her book, An Invisible Thread, Laura recounts telling Maurice that she could either give him money for a week or buy him enough food to last that long.

Quote:
“If you make me lunch,” he said, “will you put it in a brown paper bag?”

I didn’t really understand the question. “Do you want it in a brown paper bag?” I asked. “Or how would you prefer it?”

“Miss Laura,” he said, “I don’t want your money. I want my lunch in a brown paper bag.”

“Okay, sure. But why do you want it in a bag?”

“Because when I see kids come to school with their lunch in a paper bag, that means someone cares about them. Miss Laura, can I please have my lunch in a paper bag?” http://www.aninvisiblethread.com/about

So Paul Ryan pulled a Rand Paul and plagiarized a story for his speech. This is especially ironic since Ryan said liberals are all out of ideas during his CPAC speech as well. Just another demonstration of how out of touch Ryan and the rest of the crazy Republicans at the CPAC are.

Paul Ryan took to Facebook last night and apologized to his sheep for not verifying the original brown bag story. In other words, he realized that he was about to be called out and had to damage control really fast.

Quote:
Today at CPAC, I shared a story I heard from Eloise Anderson, the secretary for children and families for the state of Wisconsin. She mentioned it in her testimony for a House Budget Committee hearing last year. I have just learned that Secretary Anderson misspoke, and that the story she told was improperly sourced. I regret failing to verify the original source of the story, but I appreciate her taking the time to share her insights. https://www.facebook.com/paulryanwi

Perhaps the funniest thing of all, Ryan and Anderson likely originally heard the story about Maurice and Laura Schroff on Mike Huckabee’s show in 2013 ( http://video.foxnews.com/v/2077757057001/woman-forges-strong-bond-with
-panhandler/#sp=show-clips). Schroff and Maurice were guests on the show to promote the Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry campaign. The campaign’s mission statement completely undercuts the reason Ryan used the story to begin with: "We’re ending childhood hunger by connecting kids to effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals" ( http://www.nokidhungry.org/about-us).

To sum it up: Paul Ryan and associates stole the brown bag story as a way to demonstrate how damaging the free lunch program is. But the story was taken from a woman whose mission is to end childhood hunger by implementing additional free food programs in schools. Omigosh it really doesn’t get any funnier than this. No wait...it does.

In March 2013, the campaign released a statement speaking out against Paul Ryan’s infamous budget. You know, the budget that would decimate the SNAP program.

Quote:
A recently-released budget proposal in the House of Representatives – often referred to as the Ryan budget – would be devastating to SNAP. The proposal would lead to up to $125 billion in cuts to the program and would lead to millions of families and children losing access to the program entirely. http://www.nokidhungry.org/blog/snap-wic/2013/03/ryan-budget-proposal-
and-what-it-would-mean-families

I mean, they're not even TRYING anymore...as long as they don't get caught, literally "anything goes".
