Republicans Show Election Year Concern for Poor
Every election year the Republican waltz out some show to prove that they have a concern for the millions of Americans living below the poverty line and the working poor.
This year it was a seminar in South Carolina hosted by Kemp
Remember for George Bush it was something called "compassionate conservatism". That was quickly forgotten after he became President.
Romney, of course, made no such attempt except to get caught on tape spouting the real Republican philosophy of viewing the poor as 40% deadbeats.
However when we talk about expanding Medicaid (paid for by the Federal government) raising the minimum wage ,family leave, paying for college, or equal pay for women ,they quickly retreat
