Republican-Heavy Counties Eat Up Most Food-Stamp Growth

[Lakhota]

By Frank Bass

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said in May that he’d written off votes from 47 percent of Americans who are collecting government aid. Turns out many of them are part of his political base.

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.

Not that it's to anyone's surprise that the biggest leeches are the right wingers.

The reason that Republican regions use more foodstamps is that they have been hit the hardest economically. Thanks to progressive loons, their primary sources of income...from resource development, industry, etc., have dried up. Progressives pool all their resources in the areas where they live..the cities. And they take everything that everybody else has in order to feed that.

So when they are looking for money, they reach out and take it from those areas that don't support them.

They shut down logging, in order to protect the forests for their enjoyment. They shut down fishing, they shut down mining, they shut down drilling, they shut down building.

And all the working people (Republicans) starve or are forced onto the dole.

It's all the Dems that live in that county. The county as a whole votes republican cause they see what's happening more than others.

No, it's not.

How much do you think the Chief and blacklabel get in foodstamps a month combined?

The city dwelling welfare recipients are the welfare stars. Welfare recipients in the country have to at least get off their greasy asses to forage for wood to heat their homes...you losers just call a number and heat magically appears.

And then there's the fact that there really aren't any jobs to be had across the greater expanse of the country. Hard to find even an entry-level position in a country that has historically made money from logging, when there is no logging allowed.

But there are always jobs in teh cities...so one wonders, why is it that the inner city dwellers, who elected the Foodstamp King, can't get jobs? They even have free public transportation available to them....in bluegill, ND there is no public bus system; so even if they could get bus passes, they're screwed.

They also sick the EPA onto their water, sewer, trash, coal, electric & gas utilities in order to force their utilities & taxes to skyrocket.

Duh, they are the ones losing 4500 Dollars a year in income and facing rising costs of everything, and losing jobs. It's not shocking so many of them need help.

The retard girl speaks, go sit down honey, this tread is for the grownups. I would advise you to enroll in some college level political science classes, if you think your up for learning the truth.

Great argument, maybe this is one of the reasons your party lost. It fails to have logic on its side.

What logic is behind it? It doesn't break down the individuals who are on food stamps and who they voted for.

I see you have nothing intelligent to say....You do know how smart you look when your only contribution is ad hominem silliness?

Nice article, I've seen this with people I know who call themselves "conservatives" and republicans. In one way or another (disability check), etc they for the most part have some type of government assistance.
