Oh shut up, do you know how much it cost to get matching star tattoos on your neck, you don't expect him to pay for it. Or maybe he was having to pay off his probation. YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WHOLE STORY. Maybe he spent all his money trying to help out the homeless. Jessican will let us know.

He's got to be a Democrat- he doesn't have a job, he is trying to take money from someone who has earned their income insted of earning it himself, he is uneducated, and he feels entitled. He sums up the Democratic party to a tee.

After reading O1Ks dribble of santorum, I thought I had typed in the wrong web address, and ended up on a stormfront.com blog. And you’re right, File13. Although, I think Republican’s will benefit more. For example: the man on Shorter Ave., who was riding his toddler around a trailer park on a motorcycle while he was drunk (CLASSIC RN WT), is not a likely Democratic voter. Those Ernest T Bass types produce a lot faster in the backwoods to the tune of banjos, than in any other setting.

I don't know how a story about a heartless jerk got turned into a debate about SS nor do I care...Anthony has been a douche bag since high school and some things never change!! He was a bully back then and still is. I worked at walmart 6 years ago and he come in to the register next to me with a voided check that had been used at sav a lot and tried to buy a $500 gift card and tried to claim his grandmother had given him permission to use it b/c she was out of checks. Thankfully our managers were smart enough to deny him to do it and sent him on his way after he cussed everyone around out and started a riot!! I am glad his grandmother finally reported his sorry stupid butt maybe some of those guys in the jail will make him their...well we all know what I was gonna say but I will keep it classy so RN-T won't delete my comment...Reguardless Anthony is a heartless bully and that will NEVER change!

Social Security and other entitlements are not "Obama's programs." These programs were created after the suffering among the most vulnerable during the Great Depression. These programs have long been accepted by the mainstream as necessary for the greater good of the country. Many would refute claims that Rick Perry made about Social Security being unconstitutional, regardless of him placing second in polls among likely Republican voters.

FR, placing the future of America in the hands of a Texas Governor who advocated succeeding from the union like its 1861, is one hell of a way to balance our books. Turning the keys to the car over to a group of Republicans who push to privatize social security, by putting the trust in the hands of the same investment bankers, who laid the ground work that caused the Bush recession, will be disastrous for future generations.

This woman would not have a check to steal, if Republican's had their way. Republicans talk about cut, slash, and burn Medicare and Social Security, when just the other week, a news story ran up in Chattooga County, about an elderly couple in their 70s, who had "only beans to eat in the past three months."

Now is not the time to attack entitlements.
