Can you show me an example of people being against poor/minority welfare are also against corporate welfare? In my experience the ones that blame poor people for our nation's ills are the same ones who want tax breaks for the rich and other forms of corporate welfare.

It appears extremely un-patriotic to hear people even mentioning a 3rd party. They know the 3rd party will never hold a strong footing, so this is really their way of abandoning United States tradition.

Wearing my sticker proudly today as well.

Too often, people develop this un-patriotic attitude and concede that both parties are 'horrible'. This is no personal insult, but people who say that display their political ignorance. When you ask them specifically, they usually respond that there is some grand conspiracy that both parties work together to hurt everyone. Not very logical.
When you understand the American Political system, you find that your devotion does not go to the person, but rather the party platform and ideology. Usually, your average person does not truly understand platform nor ideology, and sit back thinking a magical party will be developed that happens to side with them on EVERY issue. These are dreamers.

I voted. I also agree with you. There should definitely be a time limit on welfare. Cut it off and make them figure it out. The girl in that video looks perfectly capable of doing something. Welfare in general is a bad idea.

Most Americans' don't understand American politics, the 3 branches of government, nor the constitution.
To be "fiscally conservative' but "socially liberal" shows again, political ignorance. The constitution is not to be cherry-picked.
This flop-sided, unstable interpretation is what breeds unpatriotic sentiment.
