The Republicans are being exposed as the liars and Hypocrites they truly are -- and are being exposed by their own words/actions rather than those of others.

Governor Paul LePage wants candy and soda off SNAP but will keep pure sugar in bulk bags available.

Supposedly he is addressing sugar based nutritional concerns -- but the lie is proved by allowing the bulk purchases.

However, in keeping with Right-Wing thought, NOTE LePage will forbid Chocolate Santas and Easter Bunnies; Easter eggs and Candy canes; SAINT Valentine's day candies; and other candies related to Christian (or other) religious celebrations.

Paul LePage Will Starve All The Poor People Unless He Can Deny Them Cake  It is really neat -- deny them the various traditions related to the celebration of religious and seasonal holidays, or let them starve to death.

IT IS THE EXTREMIST RIGHT-WING REPUBLICAN THING TO DO.  Anything that will hurt people is first on their list of priorities ... hence the attack on hospitals and medical care.
