I'm not buying your premise that welfare recipients vote R in any large numbers.

Didn't say that majority did. You posted that all welfare recipients in red states voted dem. That's not true and it's the reason for the emphasis on the three Gs in red states.

As I said many welfare recipients vote republican because of social issues. Nothing you posted contradicts that nor supports your statement that they ALLvote dem

Welfare recipients don't vote in any appreciable numbers.

"Less than half of those who made under $20,000 voted in 2012. Meanwhile, voter participation for people who live in households with incomes of more than $75,000 was much higher at 77%."

In reading these posts------what in the "bloody hello" is wrong with some of you.


You are slamming an individual for getting involved with the political process. If you are so incensed about who he is supporting, get off your fat "assets" and counteract his support of Bernie and support who you believe is better.


Stop listening to Rush, Glenn and whoever it is on the left( I listen/read no one on either side) and form you own opinions.

Many? No. Not according to the Maxwell Poll. A small minority? Very possible.

It's more that we're disappointed that here's yet another voter buying into propaganda and rhetoric instead of looking at and considering facts.

Is more than a small minority in my state and area and I see it daily but believe what you want to believe.
