I'm looking at his site and it's hardly the GOP line. He is against NAFTA, wants more federal subsidies to farms, is strongly against SS privatization, and wants to expand education and health care spending.
Wow, I support all of those positions. He's more of a Democrat than a Republican on those issues.
You support more federal subsidies to farms?
The only people who support federal subsidies to farms are:
Farmers
People in farm states whose livelihoods depend on business from farmers
Politicians in farm states
Rabid protectionists
Cretins who have been duped by the farm lobby into thinking that farm subsidies are there to help small-time, family-owned farms.
Considering how liberal you are, Scoonie (and the fact that your livelihood is presumably in no way dependent on farm subsidies), I should think that farm subsidies would be near the top of your list of "Things to be thrown off the federal budget"--as farm subsidies, for the most part, are nothing but handouts to big business.
