GOP Continuous Meme "Wasteful Spending" Aimed At Poor

The GOP has done a very good job of taking the "war on poverty" and turning it into a "war on the poor". They are airing an ad in Denver supporting Mike Coffman that features the meme "wasteful spending" in a very big way. To the GOP "wasteful government spending" is their code that such spending is wasted on programs for the poor, disabled, disadvantaged, and even veterans.

Forget all the safer "political speak" and start calling these bastards out bluntly. Define them for the liars and race baiters they are. Tell the public what "wasteful spending" is for them and stop mincing works. Call them for the pricks they are. Let's just have a brawl with them.
