State proposes work requirement for food stamps

[777 fixer]

So you are saying that supporting farm subsidies and defense contracts keeps the people voting in Republicans?
 
Are you serious?

 
I think what he's saying is that republicans use tax payer money to buy votes.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

Again WHO's votes?
 
Funding farmers is not going to be competitive at the polls compared to funding public UNION workers and workers from private enterprises receiving tax subsidized incomes (Amtrak for instance), not to mention the welfare crowd.
 
He brought up DoD contracts but failed to mention that those workers tend to be UNION and vote Democrat.
 
So one more time, WHO's votes are they buying?

Like my Grand ma said, "you need your head examined" if you can't figure it out.
 
Just say yiu are an extremely wealthy Republican leaning Businessman who supports conservatives financially to get them elected. ME? I'm running for Congress.
 
So you approach me through one of your numerous PAC's and donate oh say $250k and I go on TV and just crush my rival and magically get elected. Then along comes a bill that would lower EPA Standards. As a newbie in the HoR I'm beseiged by Lobbyists. Who do I talk to first? The Lobbyist who threw me a quarter of a million bucks from a group that operates coal fired plants or the guy from the Sierra Club who didn't gve me a friggin' dime?
 
I vote in favor of the coal lobbys position and next thing you know I'm invited to speak at aqn industry function and get paid a $10,000 "Speaking fee". I am now on my way to becoming a man of politics versus a man of principle.

That is not buying a vote, that is selling a vote.

It is competitive in rural districts where agriculture is the biggest employeer.

Is that why John Boehner who likes to pride himself in not doing ear marks supported the alternative engine for the F-35 even though the DOD said they didn't want it.  Wonder if the fact that engine would have been built in Ohio had anything to do with it?  Or why the congressional delegation for the Ft. Worth area continue to support the F-35 in spite of it's serious problems.

Remember the thread I made about Ohio becoming the hub of low cost aerospace employees. Boehner is simply looking out for business interests in his state. I mean he is THEIR representative. Industry and jobs can only benefit Ohio as a whole.
 
Do you fault the man for looking out for the best interests of his states economy?

Sounds like buying votes to me.
