You're injecting an argument that I never made and argued against that.  That's the very definition of strawman. 

A strawman is claiming you said something that you did not.

All I said was that you have never mentioned it at all.

That is called "making a point", not a "strawman argument"

It seems to me that you're the type of person that's had arguments with the Fox News watching, GOP-loving conservatives in the past, and rather than arguing with me over the points that I make, project whatever nonsense you've been told in the past as though I personally said any of those things.

We have been discussing a broad spectrum of topics regarding the waste of taxpayer money.  Go back and look at how this conversation started.

Since you have been crying endlessly about how foodstamp recipients are driving you crazy when they buy soda i thought It would be proper to point out that you have been completely silent about corporate welfare and fraud costing you thousands of times more than foodstamp recipients.

I don't see a personal attack there.

I'm not crying endlessly about anything. 

I'm anti-corporatist, which means that I don't vote for the GOP or the DNC, who both take part in it to the same degree. 

I don't lash out at cons while going to the election booth every 4 years to vote for the other corporatist party.

Exactly.  

Thanks for proving my point.

I didn't see a point in any of your posts either, FWIW.
