Sometimes, Ralph Nader be damned, the differences between the parties are really clear. FRIGHTENINGLY clear. First, conservatives recently argued that the poor who paid little in taxes were "lucky duckies" whose resentment towards the government needed to be sparked through higher taxes.

Now I've read this quote by a conservative at the American Enterprise Institute to justify cutting back food stamps and the school lunch program:

"We are feeding the poor as if they are starving, when anyone can see that the real problems for them, like other Americans, is expanding girth," said Douglas J. Besharov, director of the American Enterprise Institute's Project on Social and Individual Responsibility.

Excuse me? The real girth problem here is the expanding tax cut . . .
