The Right is full of grifters and scam artists

from corporate heads sucking on government subsidies to political consultants looking for the next mark, they are a corrupt, unethical lot.

So of course when they see people in need who depend on the government for subsistence, (a lot of them because the Ultra-Rich bastards, with too much money, won't pay a living wage) they think that they are just looking for an easy buck. Same as they are.

They really don't understand honest people just trying to get by.

They can go Kilkenny cat on each other. I just they wouldn't drag the rest of us in with them.

if you think about almost every initiative of the Bush/Cheney Ad, usually at our expense.in. A grift was involved.

Traits the RW tends to lack. Much easier to game the system to steal money from others.

Hermann Caine and Newty both just used their candidacies for advertising for talking engagements and book sales. They weren't the only ones either.
