From the Dep't. of What? What'd I say?
"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."Bauer the R from SC should be curtailed. Apparently he doesn't know any better either. Then again, he may just be a stray.
-- South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer (R), quoted by the Greenville News, comparing poor people to stray animals.
Let's recap: People who eat less than others don't "breed". So what does this genius make of Tori Spelling or Nicole Richie?
See the logic? Wow. No. Neither do I.
Who knew dieting and starvation were forms of birth control? Someone tell Aetna. They'll put eating on their list of pre-existing conditions.
Via Think Progress, we get more:
"You show me the school that has the highest free and reduced lunch, and I’ll show you the worst test scores, folks. It’s there, period." [...]How do people like this get to hold office?
Bauer later insisted that he “wasn’t saying people on government assistance ‘were animals or anything else.’” (HT: Jamie Sanderson)

Yea they deny that they get that check from old Obamie and Co but bet you they rush to the bank to cash it from them. [...]
Also if you have never taught in public schools then I suggest you shut your pie hole! I can tell you most the food goes in the trash and yes the kids will in deed SELL their free lunch for half price then turn around and go to the vending machines where they get candy and cokes.... Ha yea real nutrition there, then they get to come into class and bounce off the walls and we call it ADD or another of these wonderful excuses they dream up. FACT- Put your big girl panties and big boy underwear on and deal with this thing called LIFE!!!!
