i am a registered republican. after reading some of the comments on wkrg by people i know who have voted against obama and the crude remarks they make about people less fortunate i am about ready to switch sides. i found its ok to point at the bailout and call people bums who might loose their home. but get so defensive when it comes to the bailout that went to public schools. if it means me getting to be so high and mighty i forget somebody who is down wether it be food stamps medicaid or any form of welfare. its time to leave a party. no party is more arrogant and has done nothing than the gop. no governor did less to help the people of alabama than riley. i hear about all these bums on food stamps but i do not hear about anyone who has gone down there personally and done a survey. i do not care how people pay for their groceries as long as they are able to pay. i also noted when the cost of fuel was at 4 dollars a gallon the cost of goods would go up effecting people on public assistance. i think the hospitals in alabama need a complete overhaul. most of the nurses are unqualified. it you are lucky enough to find a good dr. you sure better hold on to them. our er rooms are full because one the weekend you are told to go the er even sometimes during the week. pharmaceutical companies are the ones driving health care cost up. not the people on welfare. the financial meltdown when all the dots are connected will surprise everyone. the home mortgage was just a gimmick to get the attention off of the real cause. i will not be at any tea party. i will not get a bumper sticker that reads " if i paid your mortgage honk your horn" but i will get a "honk if i paid for your child's education" and put it on a big ole gas guzzler.

carl, this is my last post. i am tired of it. people are crazy. there is no more failed system than the public schools. been bailed out several times before. plus the tax money that is part of their bailout this time will indirectly go to the nea. now i am using my tax dollars double to donate to them. if you are going to point the finger at one you should point it at all. i never worried about people on food stamps. people who are not on food stamps sometimes do not report all their revenue at tax time. you do not have to be on food stamps to be a cheat. i will be leaving soon anyway. but please tell thewife thanks for the board.

carl, i am trying to delete all my post but i left this one so i could reply to it, i do not need a rest as you and mrs eek, think. i just know there is abuse in every form of govt. i also know people can not just point fingers at people on food stamps. i did not card people to find out where they worked when they bought rolling papers, swishers etc. i carded them to verify age. i did know where some worked and you would be surprised who bought these products., they were getting paid by tax dollars. to target one form of govt tax dollars spending is just a easy thing to do. i also know at one place you can buy the stuff to drink to pass a drug test. there are moochers every where. i can not feed a family of 3 with 6 hundred bucks a month. how these people can feed a family of 4 is beyond me. now i keep in mind but by the Grace of God there go i. i have other fish to fry, the welfare assistance is monitored more closely than any one thinks. we have been fortunate with our nurses, they do not come in here to snoop but to treat my husband. i had rather go after the big fish than the small potatoes.

carl, that is so sweet but you see that idiot mrseek, twisted your post. i am sorry but i am really getting to leave will be tied up getting things in order. give me a while and i will post pictures of the new home. i am so excited and very fortunate we can move. i count my blessings. there are people who abuse every system like i said. but now there will be more people needing public assistance in some form or another more than ever. they should not be stigmatized over hear say. my heart goes out to them. there is no more failed big business than the public schools although i was using it as an example to show everyone who uses it is accepting public assistance. that business should be allowed to bankrupt and regroup. as soon as we get settled in i will pm you and the wife pictures. i wish you thewife and of course the grandkids all the best.

bfa, sorry you can not understand at todays prices you can not feed a family of 5 on 400 dollars a month. prices went up since your boys were growing up not down. i never asked you to be nosy before i have been in bigger battles than the food stamp thing before like alexanderia martin, the cockfighting, elderly rights, victim rights, unborn rights to life. actually the food stamp thing is a walk in the park compared to some of the battles. trust me i can handle myself. i know how blessed my family is. like i said to carl, we will be moving soon almost to canada. we will not be far from the bush sr compound. take care bfa.
