I...AM...SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! From Bloomberg:
Seventy percent 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.
That means Romney is counting on votes from areas where lower-income people have become more reliant on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as food stamps. Mark Baisley, who heads Douglas County’s Republican Party, said many recipients will back Romney in hopes he’ll improve the economy.
Some people would cut off their nose to spite their face. More through the link.

It's ok for the red parts of the country, those are the real secesionist patriots right there.
If all those red states secede, from whom would they get their government handout from....wait...I mean what they've earned because they are white.

Jesus loves the poor. He's not too fond of the rich, however.

That crazy story is akin to saying Zeus rose to the top if Mount Olympus. Not a single historical person, rich or poor, reported on the existence of Jesus.
He is part of the Judeo Christian MYTH and has no more chance of "returning" than Hercules or Mithras!

I'm in retail management in a high assistance area. Overheard two older guys today talking about "Voting in marijuana and gay marriage...what is this world coming to?" I wanted to ask their positions on the strength of states' rights.
