You know what I love about you republicans, its your hypocrisy. You will spend 18 of your 24 hours on this forum, railing against minorities about being on welfare, but its crickets, when it comes to corporate welfare.
I think welfare-to-work, started by Tommy Thompson in Wisconsin is a great idea. It makes people productive and has an end game. And whitey is on welfare too lefty.
Corporate welfare? Like the GM bailout or Solyndra? Stop yourself.

O, you mean that state that has fallen to 44th in job creation since Scott Walker has taken over? The guy who promised 250,000 jobs and is no where near that mark?
but the problem with that 47% is that included people who vote republican. romney was trying to make the point that the 47% were all people who receive government assistance and will vote democrat. The reality is, old people use social security and medicare (government programs) and they most likely to vote republican.
I don't care what he meant. His number was correct no matter who is not paying taxes. Old people vote both parties.
How sad it is to live a life where you think you are resented. What he said was the truth, you just could not handle it.
Anyone who would blame losing an election on a certain demographic obviously resents that demographic. Why else would Romney be such a sore loser about it? Why else would Romney go as far as to alienate alot of people with his 47% speech? And why would I vote for someone who would say those things about me?
if liberal policies suck, are you telling me that Mississippi is a shining example of conservative policies?
I do not live in Mississippi. I live in uber lib Illinois. The land of Obama, Quinn and Rahm. This state sucks economically and has the largest state debt per capita in the nation.
If a candidate blames a certain demographic(especially if I'm part of that demographic) for losing the election, why should I have voted for that person in the first place?
As for the 47% comment, it matter very well why Romney would say that. Why vote for someone who obviously doesn't care about you? Why vote for someone who thinks of you as a "loser" basically?

Its important what he meant, because he was trying to disparage low income people, and he actually ****ted on some of the very same people who vote for him. He said that 47% of people are dependent on government and would never vote for him, but the reality is old people are dependent on government and they are the main voters for republicans.
