Would you want a "public option" of food stamps on demand for people of whatever income? Should government compete with private farmers by running some collective farms? If those aren't your views, does that mean you favor people going hungry? Ken S. Ottovbvs,

What’s your plan for ensuring universal food security in America? Would you want a “public option” of food stamps on demand for people of whatever income? Should government compete with private farmers by running some collective farms? If those aren’t your views, does that mean you favor people going hungry?

It's just not one of their goals. At least they're being honest about it. ottovbs: The health care plan in the 2008 GOP Platform was claimed to reduce health care costs, provide patients with more choices, and protect freedom of conscience (i.e. the right not to subsidize abortions).
