This is classic, not one of the people who always talks about all this free stuff Obama gave Dem voters can come up with any evidence as to the validity of the assertation. We are still waiting.

Obamacare? May not be free but definitely heavily subsidized.

We want numbers buddy, in the real world, outside of Internet forums you have to present proof to substantiate your claim. An article, something....still waiting.

Republicans feed on a ton of corporate welfare in billions.

Also the Republican mantra is "volunteerism" .. rely on the handouts of your local church, charities and local business "donations in the time of need.

Democrats focus on personal responsibility...pay your taxes to get government services (FEMA, police, firefighters, etc) not rely on handouts from charities etc. via volunteerism.

Obamacare is also based on the principle of personal responsibility..no one explains it better than Mitt Romney at the Heritage Foundation:

Not really making your point by bringing up a program that has an individual mandate meaning those who can pay, do pay.

Look at the Democratic platform as to what they want not what they actually get.Its like them climing that wall street is the enemy then saying they are blue and paying more money than the rest of the country.

Sure, why not. Let's go one step at a time.

Let's start off with some 2012 Presidential election results by race.

Obama took 39% of the white vote, Romney took 59% and whites make up 72% of the US population
Obama took 93% of the black vote, Romney took 6% and blacks make up 13% of the US population
Obama took 71% of the Latino vote, Romney took 27% and Latinos make up 10% of the US population
Obama took 73% of the Asian vote, Romney took 26% and Asians make up 3% of the US population

The 2008 election results were fairly similar to these numbers.

Would you agree that based on recent elections it's fair to say that minorities, especially blacks and Latinos overwhelmingly vote for Democrats over Republicans?

That's great sparky, but a total red herring. The question is, where is all this free stuff, how much and who gets it. Still waiting.
