Reply #2: I think the Bush crowd believes "If you're poor it's your own fault"

And it's not the government's role to take care of people who aren't rich. That's the republican stance, as I recall, going back to the Reagan administration. Wonder what the response will be when they've snatched Social Security and Medicare from the middle class retirees, and public/private pension funds dry up as well. Oh...I guess those "faith-based initiative" programs will kick in, right? I'm sure that'll make believers out of all of us, right?

Geez...BUSH MUST GO!

Thanks for these links, BTW. I've bookmarked your post so I can share it with people who persist in the notion that our "man of faith" prez is on our side!
