“Helping someone temporarily is the moral thing to do. Giving them money for a lifetime creates generations of poverty.”
yeah, i think most people on my side of the aisle feel that way as well. i am all for social programs, but i want a measurable outcome, if the program fails, shitcan it and try something new, it just seems that in this political climate the other side wants to shitcan the programs without a back-up plan.
i don’t know anyone that is in favor of keeping generations of poor on the dole for an indeterminate (cradle to grave) period of time.[/quote]
Bill Clinton was the last to tweak Welfare , I would post a link but my internet speed is slower than dial up

And he did it because it was proposed by Newt Gingrich and the republican Congress. And in order to have any meaningful legislation passed he realized he had to play ball.
There are no democrats that seek to cut back, or change for the better any social program unless they are dragged kicking and screaming by a republican.

It’s often been mentioned here about Romney having to navigate the “MSLM”; Dems; liberal’s; the Obama “Assault” etc. in order to Win the election.
While those things certainly have some validity; I think that as a candidate; and the MOST that he has grown over the past 4-8 years is in his ability to navigate the mindfield that is other Conservatives. (Many felt that it was a gutsy move for him to deliver the commencement address at a mostly Evangelical University…and many feel that he did well).
And there is no need to even mention the 2012 Republican Primaries.
So…while he will certainly have to deal with the “MSLM” and an assault from the Dems…I think that his biggest test will be in not making any major gaffs with the Conservative Base.
Thoughts?

Romney is not exactly winning the nomination by a mandate.
