well aside from that absolutely unrelevant comment, what it does show is the contempt that right wing conservatives have for most of the country's citizens. If you're poor you're trash and should be treated as such at least in their minds. I would not be surprised if after this idea has been floated another reich wing conservative commentator makes the suggestion that the poor do not deserve to vote. Then after a short a third will suggest that their right to vote be removed. In a couple of years some conservative right wing candidate will make that suggestion part of his or her election platform. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:342191 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
