Compassionate Conservatism ...

2 kids and a house on $45,000/yr, and the Rethugs say they're too rich.

...

This is so loathesome I am literally sick to my stomach. These kids were hurt in a car accident. Their parents could not afford health insurance --- and sure as hell couldn't get it now with a severely handicapped daughter. And these shrieking wingnut jackasses are harassing their family for publicly supporting the program that allowed the kids to get health care. A program, by the way, which a large number of these Republicans support as well.

...

You know why? Because the conservatives' mantra is "all for me and fuck everybody else".

They find money to support 'war for fun' yet heaven forbid we try to help out fellow Americans who can't get insurance for their kids. And if, by chance, they do crack their wallets, they go out of their way to deny the benefits to as many people as possible.

More money has been wasted, stolen, swindled, and embezzled during this administration than in any other. The rich get tax cuts while the rest of us have to support this war and our crumbling infrastructure. We can spend $600 million for an Imperial Palace embassy in Baghdad, yet we can't manage to save a city that was once an American treasure. And if we do spend money to help out our citizens, most of it is stolen and wasted before it gets to those who desperately need it.
