The cowards of the GOP divided the bill in half as if Moses dividing the Red Sea. I am quite confident the GOP is far less red today than yellow as a chicken. They are scared to vote for Food Stamps, so they'll let the Democrats pass the Food and Nutrition Bill if they ever bring it to the floor.
These people are hideous and have no backbone. Wait and see, Speaker Boner will be scared to bring the Food and Nutrition bill to the floor. He needs to hand the gavel to Minority Speaker Pelosie for the day to finally get things done.

..."Even in a chamber used to acrimony, (click here) Thursday's debate in the House was particularly brutal. Democrats repeatedly called for roll-call votes on parliamentary procedures and motions to adjourn, delaying the final vote by hours and charging Republicans over and over again with callousness and cruelty.
"Republicans shouted protests, tried to silence the most strident Democrats and were repeatedly forced to vote to uphold their own parliamentary rulings."
"The dropped food stamp section would have made a 3 percent cut to the $80 billion-a-year feeding program. Many Republicans say that isn't enough since the program's cost has doubled in the last five years. Democrats have opposed any cuts. The food stamp program doesn't need legislation to continue, but Congress would have to pass a bill to enact changes."...
