The Official Election Night Thread 2012

[Zach Lowe]

Can anyone explain to me why that has become the go-to argument by Republicans against Liberals? Where does that stem from?

These dudes really believe that Republicans = honorable, hard working citizens, and Democrats = leaches. Why?

it stems from the reality that the more liberal you are the more likely you are to support funding for social programs like welfare, food stamps, etc.

was this a rhetorical question?

obviously there's distortions from both sides (i.e. a opposite example might be Democrats always talking about how conservatives don't care about the poor)

Obama the moderate Republican: What the 2012 election should teach the GOP.

yeah I see a lot of left leaning Democrats saying stuff like this
idk what to think of it

the idea of where the center is seems to vary based on who you ask

Cali came thru for the popular vote

Republicans support corporate welfare which eats up much more of the budget than foodstamps. Sounds like rich people are the leaches looking for handouts

yeah but that's about keeping businesses that support the economy afloat
it's not a social issue like welfare and food stamps

 

[Serious]

I voted no, it was an awful law, something like that should be made at the federal level not at the state level

elaborate more please......

i gotta turn on some Faux news so i can feed off the butt-hurt.

The interesting connection that people fail to see, is that food stanps and other social programs keep the economy afloat as well. Starving kids in the streets would hurt the economy. Social programs bolster jobs and opportunities. Think about how many people would be out of work if food stamps went away.

Republicans like to get on tv and demonize welfare recipients, but in reality it's those at the top who benefit the most from for stamps.

you should call him and ask him how he feels....several times throughout the day and evening.

It would put California farmers at a disadvantage and the law had a bunch of exceptions, so it wasn't even complete, labeling gmo foods sounds simple but it's very complex, it's not something that should be done in a ballot

Nah I think people who receive food stamps benefit the most from them not some rich people who don't receive them but that's just me

food stamps might be a good cause but that's pretty much where it stops
