Silky Pony is not campaigning on poverty in order to actually do anything about poverty. Even the poorest and least educated voters are able to see this. Silky Pony is trying to appeal to middle-class guilt by promising to deal with residual poverty in this country so the middle class won't have to.

You have to start from the premise that all of the 'Rat candidates are fundamentally disingenuous about their core positions, because they are primarily compensating for weaknesses. Hillary! pretends to be strong on the war to compensate for her manifest desire for American defeat. Silky Pony pretends to crusade for the poor to compensate for the fact that he is a filthy rich attorney who just helps the rich get richer. Obama pretendes to be a serious Senator to counteract the fact that he is a penny ante corrupt local pol.

In 1992, Bill Clintoned championed Health Care to obscure the reality that he presided over a state with the highest infant and child mortality rates in the nation. In 2000, Algore pretended to be intelligent to mask the obvious truth that he is a moron. In 2004, John F. Kerry famously "Reported for Duty", when truly his military record should have brought him nothing but shame.

The most important thing to a 'Rat candidate is to neutralilze the negative. So the most closely held and widely advocated position is always the exact opposite of their true essence.
