Robbing Peter To Pay Pedro
August 4th, 2007 at 11:34 am by SmantixHow far will Congressional Democrats go to steal money from the American taxpayers to give to criminals? This far apparently. I guess all that talk about Black Box Voting Fraud is real, huh?
GOP lawmakers had marched out of the House chamber about 11 p.m. Thursday, shouting “shame, shame” and saying that Democrats had “stolen” a vote on a parliamentary motion to pull an agriculture spending bill off the floor until it incorporated an explicit denial of federal benefits to illegal immigrants. [...]
“Last night sent a clear message to the American people that there are people in this town who are willing to break rules and utilize extraordinary maneuvers just so that illegal immigrants can receive taxpayer-funded benefits,” said Rep. Brian P. Bilbray (R-Calif.).
A good, swift kick in the teeth is exactly what House Republicans needed. And while they are a few pearly whites shy of a smile, hopefully what they now lack in chompers they will make up for with stones. Come to think of it, most toothless bastards I’ve ever met were some of the meanest sons of bitches around with a chip on their shoulder for every hole in their gaping maw.
Agricultural subsidies are one of the biggest rip-offs out there. Wanting to extend that to illegal aliens is insult on top of injury. Everybody envisions a haggard, yet dignified, Nebraskan farmer in bib overalls leaning against a pitchfork and John Cougar Mellencamp singing “little pinko houses for you and me” but in actuality the recipients of this taxpayer largesse are the most well to do among us. Ostensibly leaning against their china hutches and counting c-notes by the layers for not farming their land.
I give you the most dangerous search on the web. Search the tonier zip codes in your own respective neck of the woods to find the millionaires posing as poor, white trash.
Enjoy!

[...] Smantix, in his usual trenchant style, opines about the House Democrats stealing a vote from the House GOP folks in the newest agricultural subsidy bill, and then provides a GREAT link: EWG||Farm Subsidy Database [...]
