After this federal government program enabled him to walk away from his debts and make a fresh start, he could have embraced a life of fiscal responsibility and wise choices. Instead, he squandered what he made on his vanity senatorial and congressional campaigns and grandstanding at Cliven Bundy's ranch. He is so dishonest as to claim on his website that he did not have health insurance because he "is self employed." Everyone knows that the self-employed can obtain insurance under the ACA. He made a conscious choice to reject available coverage for himself and his wife, which is pretty stupid for someone over 60. He let his ideology override common sense, and now he wants another bail-out. I think he will gladly take what liberals or anyone else choose to donate, but I don't have high hopes on any of this changing his hateful opinions.

Yeah, but the sad thing is, it's changed back when they're no longer in need.

Right as Rain. Liberals donate...Conservatives conserve their money and say, "Sucks to be him."

You may be right. You may not. However, I'm not going to tell the guy to fuck off and die.

Yes -- I noticed that, too! So no one can point out his hypocrisy now unless they're willing to pay.
