By the way why do you feel the need to inject race into the conversation?

Race is irrelevant. It will be a better day when Dems can see people instead of color.

The only thing that he can get somewhat of a rise out of anyone...just like a typical leftie....can argue...so bring up race....no matter what...

The race card scares people.....the race card has been used so much since obama, it's pretty much useless now...

Votes and voters who believe in government reliance.

This has nothing to do with race, this is about voters. There are white Democrats and Black Republicans, try to stay on topic for once without using the race card.

Because it has nothing to do with this thread and it's a sign of someone who can't handle a conversation.

WRONG! You are so wrong it's not even funny. Red states i.e. conservative states are some of the biggest receivers of public or government welfare. It may not be in the form of "food stamps" but it sure as hell is in the form of other things. Maybe try doing a little research once in a while. For example the Rural Electrifiation project, Federal Highway system, and farm subsidies to name a few.

Why are liberals SOOOOOOOOOOO ignorant? A state can be called a "red state" because it voted 51% Republican while millions of Democrats could be collecting federal assistance. The Red/Blue state mantra is complete BS.
