Jeb goes full Mitt Romney: Man of inherited wealth and power says African-Americans want free stuff

[Meathead]

The single largest group on welfare is the GOP base simply because that party is 90% white. If the Republican poor ever understand how their leadership actually feels about them, it will be the end of the party as we know it. The GOP base, up to now, thinks that the GOP leadership only hates poor blacks and poor Hispanics. Wait until they realize the truth.

Democrats haven't won the white vote since LBJ in '64. So, give us a link from a non-dingbat site about how many GOPers are on welfare that backs up your loony premise.

Red States Are Welfare Queens

In an ironic twist to the GOP’s war on the poor, it turns out that the people who are the most negatively affected by Republican cuts in food programs – are Republicans themselves.

Statistics reveal that the city holding the most beneficiaries of the SNAP program (a favorite target of the GOP) is 99.22% white and 95% Republican. Owsley County, Kentucky earns the lowest median household income in the country, but they are the most prolific government-takers in U.S. existence.

It’s Official: White Folks in Red States are the Biggest Food Stamp ‘Moochers’ in the Country!

The thing is, more than half the country denies having used a government programat all.

Almost All Republicans Have Used Some Kind Of Government Program

According to a study by The Tax Foundation, the seven states who take in the most federal tax dollars all, had one thing in common. They all voted Republican in the presidential 2012 election.

The 7 Biggest Deadbeat States Who Mooch Off Taxpayers All Vote Republican

While politically, congressional Republicans have focused on reducing spending on federal entitlement programs, the Pew Research survey found the U.S. to be “a “bipartisan nation of beneficiaries.”

The survey found that significant proportions of Democrats (60%) and Republicans (52%) say they have benefited from a major entitlement program at some point in their lives. So have nearly equal shares of self-identifying conservatives (57%), liberals (53%) and moderates (53%). The programs were Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment benefits and food stamps.

Remember, Republicans are 90% white. That would make them the largest single group getting government help.

From your article;

Since there are more Democrats than Republicans, and since Social Security is not an entitlement program, especially to those who pay into it , you know, people with jobs,
You lose! HAHA!

I can't help but notice that people are still lying about what Romney said. Why? There is no point to it. He lost. He isn't running again. Why lie about what happened? There is no benefit to it even if it wasn't inherently wrong to begin with.

Jeb is done. The republicans never learn...

Ah Jeb. You just can’t help yourself.

Again, on another historic day when Pope Francis quoted Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech to Congress, the Catholic convert likewise tried to reach and empathize with African Americans. Only this is how he did it.

At a campaign stop in Mount Pleasant, S.C., a voter noted the event was all-white, and asked Bush how Republicans can appeal to African Americans. At first Bush seemed like the compassionate conservative he’s supposed to be. He touted the African Americans on his leadership team staff, discussed his outreach to black ministers, pivoted to the issue of Latino voters, and offered a feisty defense of speaking Spanish on the campaign trail:

If someone asks me a question in Spanish just for the record, don’t take offense that I answer it in Spanish. It’s not an offense to you, it’s respect for others. You campaign in a way that draws people to your cause. That’s what you do.

So far, so good. Then Bush totally blew it. Turning back to the issue of black voters, he said:

Think about it this way, Republicans get 4-7 percent of the African-American vote…If you double that, you win elections in Ohio, Virginia. And we should make that case, because our message is one of hope and aspiration. It isn’t one of division, “get in line, we’ll take care of you with free stuff.” Our message is uplifting, that says, “You can achieve earned success. We’re on your side.”

“We’re on your side,” black voters, though we’re not sure you’ve really achieved “earned success.” You’ve been relying a little too much on “free stuff” from Democrats, but we’re here to change that. The level of condescension and negative stereotyping in Bush’s statement is stunning, but not surprising.

After all, Mitt Romney said essentially the same thing – directly to the NAACP, in July of 2012. “Your friends who like Obamacare, you remind them of this: If they want more stuff from government, tell them to go vote for the other guy — more free stuff. But don’t forget nothing is really free.”

Clearly your reading skills are sub par. Jeb said nothing of the kind. Your thread title is a lie and you are an evil bastard.

You must be stupid. You can read his comments that are now being reported everywhere.

The stupid thing is he thinks he can make inroads with the black electorate by offering jobs instead of welfare.

That's funny. Ask the Democrats, the masters of free stuff. They know!

Meathead, you really need to turn off your AM radio.

Not a problem. I don't understand Czech well enough anyway.

If you think the title in the OP is accurate then you are stupid.

No he doesn't LOSE, you idiot... He linked to more than just Social Security. TOo bad your lazy ass didn't bother to read the links. But at least someone else can benefit from the free education and know the truth about the republican poor!

 

[PredFan]

Jeb is a moron, but he's right on this, they do want free stuff. Anyone who denies that simple truth is either too stupid, too partisan, or too dishonest to talk to.
