The REALLY funny part is that there are more republicans than democrats that recieve welfare, then the republican candidates make promises to do away with welfare and the welfare drawing republicans back them up and vote for them thinking "well he means everybody else, not me". How dumb can people get??

The red state citizens dont even use their own MINDS because its been HIJACKED to vote republican and against their OWN BEST INTERESTS. Its very comical in the red states of how they are more stubborn than mules politically.

I have spent years in a both red and blue states, and it is a CLEAR AS DAY that the blue states have a higher quality of life, better wages, better conditions, and.... an actual middle-class. The red states are either lower class or super wealthy. Thats REPUBLICANS for you!!!! The quality of life will TRICKLE DOWN to you all SOMEDAY!!!

Dummies voting against their own best interests in the red states. Well DUMMIES there, when you get your republican fantasy dream everywhere in the nation, you will be out on the STREETS and the super wealthy will get IT ALL!!!!!!!!

But keep voting against your OWN best interests in those red states.

DUMMIES.

Stereotype much?

You have no idea what you are talking about. I've NEVER heard any handout recipients complain about government spending. It's those of us remaining in the middle class who are frustrated.

I'm neither "lower class" or "super wealthy", as you put it; just SICK of the handout mentality. I don't want my hard-earned money handed out to career welfare recipients OR to million dollar corporations (like Solyndra--which is why it is so COMICAL to hear liberals bashing conservatives--can't you see that BOTH parties are doing the EXACT SAME THINGS????? BOTH sides have corruption issues and LOVE to back their buddies, while screaming about the "other side"'s evils.)

Most of the people in the "red states" who vote Republican are sick of ALL of the crap, including being fed up with most of the republican politicians. I will hold my nose and vote Romney in the fall as the lesser of 2 evils, although I wish Ron Paul was an option. I would vote for him joyfully, as she shares my ideas about what the function of the federal government should be. Which, by the way, are the same ideas that the framers of the Constitution had.

Personally have to question the intellect of anyone who blindly votes for Obama and the Democrats. But then again, I am a red state "DUMMY", according to you.

That's ok, my vote will cancel yours out

They will blame it on the democrats or black people.

Guess what? Bush was a republican and he tripled the size of the Federal government. I can't believe you guys actually still think there is a big difference between the two parties.

It's funny that there are still people who believe there are two competing ideologies in the American government when its obviously been taken over by capitalism.

According to the republicans, all of bush's problems were Clinton's fault, so wouldn't it be true that all the problems right now are bush's fault? I mean, come on, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander....
Ya know, I'll even go with the first two years of bush's economy (maybe even up to four years) were a result of Clinton, but the other issues were ALL Bush, especially 9/11 since it wasn't economic, it was failure of him to follow the advice left to him (or something of his own planning, according to theories). So, the first 2 to 4 years of Obama's economy is because of bush. Well, we're closing out year number four and there has been a steady increase for a while now, so in reality, according to their own argument just a few years ago when their resident-in-chief was there, Obama is basically cleaning up Bush's mess a little at a time.
Guess he's doing a pretty good job (of course Hillary could have done it a lot faster )

It's a catch-22 here. Even the most anti-welfare person isn’t going to refuse a benefit their due since their property is already being stolen from them anyway.

Actually, I am a retired officer from the Army. I get 62.5% of the average salary of the last 36 months of service. I earned that. It comes with retiree medical and dental at a nominal fee. A laughable fee relative to what the general population pays. I pay 35.00 a month for the whole family, 5.00 co-pay on meds and I think 90.00 a month for dental.

However, without the actual wounds received I'd still be eligible based on some certain medical diagnoses around 60-70% VA disability. I refuse to do so. I am almost 50 now - my back/neck hurts because of what I did for a living in Special Forces - but the retiree medical covers it all anyway. Besides, what man who did hard physical labor for 24+ years doesn’t have some back pain…

I feel like applying for and taking extra money from VA - it would be about 11-1250.00 extra a month in tax free income with some other preferences for jobs etc. would be IMO just plundering the treasury more than necessary.

I am an entrepreneur and don't need a job preference I already qualified for VA small business loan with a good solid plan. And while an extra 1k a month or so would be nice (and would come in handy) the 4k I already make (retired O4) just for getting out of bed every day in addition to my business earnings is a lot more than most in America have. I own 140 acres free and clear – I’m all set.

I guess if needed it I'd apply but I don't so I just let it ride. Not everyone who can milks the treasury.

Just out of curiousity...I take it then you feel union worker's are also entitled to their pensions, benefits, and welfare as well, right?

I'm beginning to believe that the OP is disguising himself as a democrat but is actually a republican trying to raise a stink with threads. The logic and thought process don't really match democrats at all, but the deceit is very republicanesque.

That is interesting, if true...
I tend to lean towards the left, but like someone above me said earlier...What's up with the Obama fan club sprouting up on the Internet? Makes you wonder who's getting some cash right now.

I have never once heard anyone speak well of Obama, even the lefties. Election year is just around the corner; the psy-op is well underway.

I have to agree with you on these points. I have noticed many of the same things, and I just shake my head. I listen to republicans rant and I just feel sorry for them now. I don't even want to argue with them, because I know that since they were brainwashed into becoming republicans in the first place, they will not listen to reason, even if I can prove them wrong.

Interesting scenario.

The general levels DO seem to be on a grade school mentality level.
That in itself might be suggesting a "target" audience appealing to the average Democrat.
(in the mind of a reverse psychology agenda)

Interesting possibility.

Republicans.. democrats, doesn't matter. They are both the same kind of corrupt! The problem with politics is politics, the problem with politicians is politicians, the problem with corrupt is corruptness.. I don't care what the hell you call yourself, neither side is good and right.
