What about those who can't pay?

These things do not correlate. Blacks and Latinos vote for dems for the same reason Asians and college students do, the repubs are not inclusive and socially out of touch with America. And, again, welfare recips were getting their checks under Bush too.

You proved nothing. Black people and latinos vote dem. So do a lot of other groups like gays and young people. Like blacks and latinos, these other groups do not see a place for themselves in the repub platform. Black and Latinos on PA is not why they vote dem. I doubt, seriously, that many people on PA even vote.

Because they don't want to admit it. It's not something to be proud of.

Your credibility just flew right out the window.
Yea, personal responsibility... that comment gave me a good laugh too.

The party of welfare, wedlock, abortion and being fooled by Obama is offended by being called the party of free stuff?

It's a FACT that they don't. Most of the "free stuff" Romney and the Republicans have been counting are actually Social Security and Medicare which goes to an older whiter demographic. Guess which party gets most of the votes of old white people?

It's rather strange really because Republicans always want to gut SSI and medicare but I guess the social wedge issues (FEAR THE GAYS!) still matter more to some groups than their own self interests. It's sad really.
