Let's work backwards. Do you really think that the poor vote in great numbers? If we get 40% of the eligible voters to the polls, it's thought of as a great turnout. I think this "the poor vote Democrat because of freebies" is a hollow argument.How is being poor "bad behavior"? Is poverty a character flaw?Liberals also believe welfare should be a true hand up and not a hand-out. But you will never get a conservative to say that...
Liberal bashing by the right far outweighs anything liberals do or say...

How is giving people money rewarding bad behavior a "hand up?"
You may believe what you want, but the current execution results in people being stuck in the claws of government assistance.
We pay mothers to have more kids they can't support, we pay drug addicts to keep relapsing, we pay lazy people to not work. we make it harder for them to improve themselves, because the benefits cut off when they make a certain amount of $$.
The whole system is designed to keep the poor poor, and voting democrat.
And do you think the poor are lazy? They are working at jobs paying minimum wage, a wage Conservatives would hate to see raised! Do you think the poor are lazy, or are they poor because the 'job creators' packed up the factories and moved them to Latin America and Asia to avoid paying living wages and cleaning up the mess they make?
WE pay drug addicts who relapse? How about fully funding drug programs to help those addicts clean up once and for all?
And mothers having babies they cannot support? How about making access to women's health centers freer and easier so those poor women have options above and beyond public support?
You blame everything on the poor and accept no responsibility for the actions of Conservatives when you deny abortions, take jobs away from Americans, defund health clinics and ignore the havoc such policies leave behind.
