Celebrate with Obama and the DNC 50 years of failure

We will never win the "war on poverty" because Democrats need to keep certain groups poor so they can continually promise them something for nothing, thus winning their vote.

LBJ had that figured out over 50 years ago, and by all accounts it is working.

Explain that one, if you can.

left take right bitch .... right take left bitch ... and pile of cash is from gov. tax .. it how you take it ...

So, since the War on Poverty was such a noble cause, and since we spent $20 trillion in our attempt to eradicate it, why has there been no noticeable effect?

The answer to that is easy.

Do you fight STD by fucking? That is what LBJ did with war on poverty. Instead of expanding the job base and creating independent people. He gave away money, food, and housing to people who never learned how to hold a job. People didn't need to go to school and mothers never needed fathers anymore. The drop out rate, single mothers, and unemployment can be traced to the "war on poverty".

By the way, is your brain short-circuiting again? In paragraph one, you attempt to take credit for the passage of the act. In paragraph two, you attack it by making a bunch of unsupportable assertions unless Rush Limbaugh, the Daily Caller and Deadbart are being cited as reliable sources by anybody except braindead halfwits like you.
