And yet they vote Democrat
Wha?
welfare recipients... not the states in general
Have you seen Mississippi?
You do recognize that the majority of the state isn't mooching right? In other words, republicans can still win seats even if they don't get the entitlement vote
Never been actually... but doesn't Mississippi have the highest black/hispanic population in the country? And doesn't the majority of black people/hispanic people vote democrat (when they vote)?
So it's juuuuust the black people in those states getting public assistance, huh? You sure you want to go with that?
you have let your hate for "the worst candidate ever in Bernie Sanders" overtake you:
Gene Alday, a Republican member of the Mississippi state legislature, apologized last week for telling a reporter that all the African-Americans in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi, are unemployed and on food stamps.
"I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks,'" Alday said to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger, a Mississippi newspaper, earlier this month. "They don't work."
Nationally, most of the people who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are white. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.
Twenty-three million households and 47 million Americans received benefits on an average month in 2013; enrollment declined slightly to 22 million households and 46 million individuals in 2014. Three-quarters of those households included a child, an elderly person or someone with a disability. The average monthly benefit per household was $274 in 2013 and $256 last year.
"i don't care one way or the other
i just spend a lot of time saying i disagree with what you are saying
but i don't care at all. i just wish i could know more
but i don't care"
let's go back to that degree ...
I never said any such thing.
Well, saying that Republicans could win in southern states without the "entitlement vote" kinda implies that.
That's horse****, by the way.

just like his implying that paying taxes = stealing
he loves to do that in his trolling
Democrats like to use out of context stats a lot.
Saying more white people take welfare than black people is about as obvious as it can be. The appropriate way to look at it would be, what % of each race/religion/age/gender/etc. takes the benefit.
