Everyone knows that welfare queens, junkies, and youthful ne'er do wells are the first in line to vote. Something about being destitute loser and civic duty just go hand in hand.
Well, again, as a 30-something year old, white collar employed, white woman with a masters, I voted at 8am yesterday on my way to work.
Meanwhile my 20 year old, unemployed, pill popping cousin blathered on and on about voting for Romney the entire year, and then didn't even bother to vote.
I was told by an Obama supporter to quit my job and live off the government because I would be better off.
This person is a free loader.
I was embarrassed for her... And that is the only reason why she voted for him. She said so... She doesn't want the free loading to end and she was afraid Romney would take away her "benefits".
Actually, the majority of the dumb, less educated, and non-productive members of society voted for Douchebag Romney.
How else do you explain all the poor illiterate states in the Deep South and Bible Belt going for Romney by double-digits, while all the high-income, gainfully employed, educated states went to Obama by landslides?
Romney has a welfare base?
Many of the states that Obama took are welfare states.
Notice the three red states in the "give" column, well three of them just went blue this election. That means every state in the "give" column except one, is a blue state.

Welfare queens? That is soooo 80's.
Dear, I doubt junkies vote. Their only concern is the next hit.
At some point over the last ten to twenty years we managed to take the stigmatization of receiving public assistance away and transferred it to stigmatizing people for being more successful than average. Not sure how it happened, or really when it happened, just know it isn't a good thing.

Because now the majority of Americans (60%) are recipients of government assistance in one form or another.
So take away that 36 million retired Americans (and that is ignoring their spouses) and that is less than 35% getting government assistance during a RECESSION.

This is grossly inaccurate. But of course you didn't take the time to research it since you, and everyone else, already know everything.
Lower income: The median income of tenants is about half the median income of homeowners, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Low-income citizens register and vote at lower rates. In 2008, according to census data, 80% of people with incomes of more than $100,000 were registered and 73% voted; only 64% of those with incomes of less than $20,000 were registered and 52% voted.
Your ignorance is astounding. The ignorant and less educated and non productive people in these states voted for Obama because they live off of the government. They certainly would not vote for Romney. Wise up. The freeloaders are Democratic voters. There is no such thing as a poor illiterate states. People are poor and illiterate in all state. That includes your state. Get an education.
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 (70%) 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. They include Republican strongholds like King County, Texas, which in 2008 backed Republican John McCain by 92.6 percent, his largest share in the nation; and fast-growing Douglas County, Colorado.
