Being poor sucks but not as much as saying you were poorer than you were...

Being poor sucks but not as much as saying you were poorer than you were in service to some right wing ideology.


Just sayin...

1. Like rMoney saying ...

"We were so poor our garage only had one elevator."

2. Rethugs are right on schedule,

more empty talking points. Tried my best to listen to HogNuts last night,just could not do it,to much stupid coming out of her Pie Hole. If this person is the real deal,we have issues,and we thought the Snow Grifter is a twit.

3. You are saying being poor growing up....

doesn't suck as much as lying when you are older. Please disseminate this information to poor children and parents worldwide. Most of the people this doesn't suck as bad to in your mind have never hear of this lady or know a word she spoke. Being poor growing up sucks much worse. The comparative analysis that goes on around here is amazing.

4. My maternal grandfather died the during the Great Influenza of 1918. He was thirty five.

Of more note was the fact that my mom was nine months old. He was also survived by a widow who hadn't learned English yet and a five year old son and eight year old daughter. She made due by taking in borders. My mom had a 151 I Q, was placed in Rapid Advance, and graduated high school when she was fifteen years old. College was definitely out of the question. She got a job as a bookkeeper so she could help support her mom.

Her life must have sucked by middle class standards but she would have never, God bless her memory, turn her life into a cartoon to further a right wing Republican agenda.

Tragedy kind of followed her. My dad had a massive heart attack when I was 12, he had another when I was 14 that killed him. We were left with nothing but his Social Security Survivors Benefits. But I won't make a cartoon of our hardship either.

5. You just made a cartoon out of poverty in your op.

It is exactly what you did. You made the comparison that what she said yesterday is worse than actually being poor. It was a very poor and flawed comparison. You literally said her words last night were worse than actually being poor. Go tell that to a poor person. What is said in your op is a comment that can only be made by an individual living a very comfortable life today. Just as her comments are only heard because she is living a very comfortable life today.

6. Your power of inference is flawed...

Your power of inference is flawed as is your power to divine the financial status of your interlocutor. I know what it's like to be poor, from first hand experience, not as if that's dispositive.

It sucks to be poor. However what really sucks is to exploit their plight in service of some right wing ideology, i.e , look at me. I was so poor that I wore bread bags outside my shoes to protect my feet because my family was too poor to buy galoshes and now I'm a successful businessperson cum senator. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps without any gubmint help. Gubmint is superfluous.


Ernst is the most audacious grifter to come down the proverbial pike since, errrr, Sarah Palin.

7. considering most of her family made 6 figures $ from welfare corn subsidies..... nt

9. She set a hell of a trap.

It's ironic and diabolical. She's no dummy. I could see how anybody questioning her story could be cast as being elitist as was done to me.

I doubt she wore bread bags outside her boots and felt bad until she saw all the other kids on the bus doing the same thing.

8. Saying you were poorer than you were sucks, but being anti choice, anti gay, opposed to the EPA,

opposed to the Minimum Wage and wanting to privatize social security sucks more.

10. She is 44 years old, born in 1970...things weren't that bad

in 1970??? Hell at least she got to ride a bus???????????
