when I read some of this ignorant, demonizing and hypocritical garbage the GOP does. I can't believe I supported this party for 25 years.

Kansas Bans Poor People From Spending Welfare On Cruise Ships

and of course they have turned this into a windfall for he freakin' banks.

Like the young punk kid in Arkansas,Cotton, another ignorant punk, Rep. Michael O'Donnell of Kansas thinks it wise to walk the country backward.

I can't believe people voted for Brownback again.

We Californians voted for Raygun, twice, and the Sp**minator, twice. The only thing that has saved our ass is we elected Jerry Brown four times to come in after those two incompetent goofballs and straighten things back out again.
I feel for the people of Kansas and hope they impeach him soon to put an end to it. I sure would not be wanting to raise my children there.

I voted for them for 30 years starting in 1968.

My excuse is that I grew up during the "I Like Ike" days.

Today's Republican party is not the same.

'Oh, my GOD! We're paying these deadbeats so much they're taking CRUISES, whole I slave away at Walmart for POOT?!!! OH, THE OUTRAGE!!!!! Thank GOD these Republicans are putting a stop to this!!!!'

Meanwhile the whole 'welfare recipients lounging on the sun-drenched decks of luxury vessels ' is fabricated bullshit, but the reality that Republicans are busting unions and encouraging employers to seek the lowest labor costs possible as they do little to nothing that will actually reduce the number of poor people..............is right in our faces, every day of the week.

See how that works?

So did I but I only ever voted for one Republican in my life, Mac Mathias for the US Senate. I don't see myself ever voting for another one.

Ever.

I'm sure lots of people on welfare are taking cruises.

Especially from Kansas where the nearest cruise ship port has gotta be what?

A thousand miles away?

It's all part of the Republican "Hate the Poor" campaign. It's supposed to implant a subconscious image of welfare recipients taking cruises or going out for a night on the town or just enjoying themselves "on my tax dollar!"

They probably were able to trace one ATM transaction on a ship to a welfare recipient. Hey a great strategic talking point for a Kansas Republican!
Keeps the minds off of a failing public educational system.

Of course you are right....one has to fly to a port on one's own dime to catch the ship....unless you live near a port like I do.

Yeah, but it's only the right wingers who subsidize their military retirement checks with social security and SSDI payments as they vote for politicians who promise to keep the government teat sucking soshialists from living off of anyones tax money...........

They can afford it.
