Democrats are about twice as likely as Republicans to have received food stamps at some point in their lives—

But it's remarkable that across the liberal-conservative spectrum it's all equal! That tells me that some conservatives are rewarding the Democrats for looking out for their families.

So far I haven't seen a smidgeon of evidence that any conservative is dependent on government.

Then why are the states most dependent on the federal government mostly red states?!?!

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.

No one's going to let their children starve to protect their political integrity.

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.

The retard girl speaks, go sit down honey, this tread is for the grownups. I would advise you to enroll in some college level political science classes, if you think your up for learning the truth.

oh that is rich- get brainwashed by some leftist hack, paid for by conservatives.

Again, it's because the red states have been crippled and decimated by democrat policies that have made it impossible for them to make a living in the ways they have always done...in other words, the left has restricted access to natural resources, have dictated that the red states not be allowed to develop their land, and have achieved huge land grabs. Elitist scum in cities determined that the vast rural expanses of our country be maintained in a pristine state (or, if they are utilized, they be utilized by the state, for the *greater good*) for the enjoyment of leftist assholes who like to visit the flyover states and counties on their days off.

You jackasses destroyed your cities, so you hold the rest of the country hostage.

So are you saying the economy is growing like crazy?

Hey, look at the stock market. It must mean our economy is doing great.

Very unlikely that there is a box to check for political affiliation on a food stamp application.

 

[koshergrl]

No but food stamp workers are required, by law, to offer all applicants the opportunity to vote. They are required to distribute voter registration cards, and they are required to mail them in.

Obviously, the reason is so that applicants will feel obliged to vote for the candidates that will support their receipt of benefits.

You have some evidence besides your say-so? It could be because they teach creationism in their schools, so their kids grow up behind everyone else in the first world. Just perhaps it's their own fault they're de facto third world states. See, I can make-up scenarios just like you do. the difference is that I provided a cite. Your fairy tales are unsubstantiated. Looks like a FAIL to me.

Of course it looks like a fail to you. You are a bigoted, half educated elitist ding dong, who only knows what he's been told by progressive ding bat teachers and PBS.

This is one of the those stories that will never ever ever get reported on Fox.

The real 'Takers' are white, poor, and stupid... the GOP base.

You'll ruin their favorite stupid talking point. All you can do is laugh and shake your head at threads like this

It's a FAIL because you have nothing to back up your theory. You have no proof, just sad and tired tirades. That's no substitute for evidence.

And this one points the ignorance finger every place but where it belongs.

I can only think of one reason that poor/ignorant voters would vote Republican - RACISM.

Some food for thought during the GOP debate.
