An enlightened liberal in my neck of the woods decided to let his voice be heard in my local newspaper today...
My family and I debated for some time over whether this write in was a joke or legitimate. We concluded, because it was a response to an earlier write in, it is probably, sadly, legitimate. I am glad our newspaper published this leech's filthy diatribe for all to see. You're welcome for funding your life with my tax dollars.
"I wonder why any of you Romney-Ryan Republicans would want anything to do with me. Without a pension and receiving only minimum Social Security, I'm $1,800 below poverty level, so I haven't had to pay income taxes for years. Mr. Wiegand of Eureka (Aug. 12 Forum) believes I shouldn't even be allowed to vote.
HUD pays most of my rent. In addition to Medicare, I depend on Medicaid. I receive and depend on food stamps. LIHEAP pays my Ameren electric bill. Another program pays all but $1.10 of my prescriptions. Another program pays part of my phone bill. I don't have long distance service. These are just the basics.
So why would Romney-Ryan Republicans want anything to do with me? I guess I should just crawl into a corner and die, along with all the other sponges and deadbeats."
