Republicans trail poverty like a snail trails slime.

Major Alvan Earle Bovay (July 12, 1818 – January 13, 1903) was a founder of the United States Republican Party.[1][2]

Their own founder quit the party after the Civil War in 1874 and started the Prohibition Party. He said the job of the Republican Party was done. I imagine all that corruption was too much for him. The Grant administration experienced some of the most corrupt times in our history, though Grant probably wasn't involved. He was just another military figurehead of a President. The party has been scum since Lincoln died.

Obama should be thanked for not letting righties starve to death as a result of the Great Bush Recession, unfunded wars, tax cuts, etc...

Thank you, President Obama, for not letting the righties starve to death.

Apparently righties don't like this thread.

The point of this thread is understood. Progressives are trying to deflect the critisim they champion the parasitic elements of society. The black/Hispanic vote alone proves that, and intervening when they are trying to convince one another otherwise is pointless.

Wingnuts should thank Obama for not letting them starve to death as a result of Bush actions and policies.

So? Wingnuts are still blaming Obama for food stamp growth. They should blame the right guy - Bush.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said in May that he’d written off votes from 47 percent of Americans who are collecting government aid. Turns out many of them are part of his political base.

Seventy percent of counties with the fastest-growth in food-stamp aid during the last four years voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by Bloomberg.

I would eat up food stamps too if I made that little money. If the Government is going to waste money giving someone like me food stamps, I'm going to take it.

Why not? Sounds like a sweet gig.

I don't know, but it's puzzling why they would hate the hand that feeds them.

Food stamps are keeping many families alive.

We see this divergence in the economic data. Since the 1970s, productivity has risen dramatically, along with corporate profitability and pay for the highest earners. Yet middle- and low-wage workers' incomes have barely changed. In fact, for the lowest-paid workers, incomes have actually fallen – partially because of the erosion in value of the minimum wage.

The minimum wage was first enacted in 1938 to ensure that even the lowest-paid workers would still receive an adequate level of pay. Through the '60s and '70s, Congress made regular increases that kept the minimum wage equal to roughly half the average wage of production workers. At its peak in 1968, the minimum wage was close to $10 per hour in today's dollars. Yet after decades of delayed and inadequate increases, today's minimum wage of $7.25 is about 37 percent of the average wage. We have let the lowest-paid workers fall considerably behind.

The reason that Republican regions use more foodstamps is that they have been hit the hardest economically. Thanks to progressive loons, their primary sources of income...from resource development, industry, etc., have dried up. Progressives pool all their resources in the areas where they live..the cities. And they take everything that everybody else has in order to feed that.

So when they are looking for money, they reach out and take it from those areas that don't support them.

They shut down logging, in order to protect the forests for their enjoyment. They shut down fishing, they shut down mining, they shut down drilling, they shut down building.

And all the working people (Republicans) starve or are forced onto the dole.

^^ Bullshit. The reason is because the GOP trolls are lazy good for nothing leeches whos just is to sit on their lazy asses all day watching fox and bitching about "da libs" as the reason for their pathetic existence.

KG jumped the shark on that one. Thanks for highlighting that.
