Reply #18: See, this is why I'm a Democrat

[Bouncy Ball]

I have no doubt if Democrats were in power right now, they'd be doing something about this. We don't let people just hang out in the wind to dry (or freeze, as the case may be).

What happened to those faith-based initiatives, huh? Where are THEY (WHAT are they, anyway?) right now? I thought faith-based initiatives were going to take care of people when they cut government to the bone?

No? Oh well, I guess the repuke way is just to let them freeze.

And by the way, we are NOT low income and it's still hard to pay our gas bill in the winter. And we live in a SOUTHERN state. We keep the thermostat turned down low and just wear heavy pajamas to bed with loads of blankets. We never run the fireplace because it's a gas log, it's expensive and it puts out almost no heat. It got down to 34 here last night but we just piled on the blankets.

Nothing wrong with that, but we struggle to pay the gas bill otherwise. And I can only imagine how bad it is for those who have less than us, and for the elderly on a fixed income. They CAN'T turn up that heat, can't pay it.

Sheesh. Richest nation on earth. Watch, there will be elderly people freezing to death this winter, but what does bush care? He's nice and toasty in the White House, doesn't give a flying shit about them.
