7. Same thing from a 'winger neighbor we know....now is complaining her SNAPS benefits have been
Mon Jan 14, 2013, 01:54 PM
Jan 2013

significantly reduced because she just recently got a job as a home healthcare aid.........part time. She said she needs those benefits to feed her family.

I know it sounds cruel but hubby and I told her and her NObama idiot bf to suck it up, you voted for the other guy and for the new teabagger Guv'nr, yall talked trash about Obama being a socialist (code for a black man), etc. So suck it up, pull up your bootstraps and try not to trip on your personal pile of hypocritical BS.

Hubby then warned them that it's all about to get much worse best get used to it.

Did you remind her of this? n/t 1StrongBlackMan Jan 2013 #1
