Well, there's Charles Schumer but, as I said, do your own Googling.
Seriously, the parties' positions on farm subsidies reflect some of their worst vote-pandering conduct (and, in turn, reflect the severe problems that the Electoral College one-state-two-senators system causes this country).
But your claim was that certain Repubs were "knee-jerk free marketers" and I pointed out farm subsidies as a glaring contradiction to this. Your response -- "but the Dems support them too!" -- is, well, non-responsive (even if accurate -- which it is to some extent, but not nearly to the extent you claim). If you want to admire Santorum for being "knee-jerk free market.... except when it might cost him some votes," be honest about it. Omitting the second half of a key sentence is beneath you, spankster.

Slow down there cowboy. Pointing out that some Republican vote for Farm Subsidies does not effect my argument in any way. One example doesn't show a thing. I would submit that Generally Democrats are Pro-Choice. Does the fact that there are a few prolife Democrats disprove that statement. No. I still stand by that Repubs are knee jerk free marketers and Dems are not. You look at the Chamber of Commerce or any group that rates politicians on how much they support the free market and Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, are way ahead of the Democrats. Its not even close. Sometimes Conservatives stray, but in general you can depend on them much more to side with the free market.
