A GOP Tsunami Is Coming

[exGOPer]

Quote from Lucrum:

"From the Gellman-paradox we know that the low-income voters who drag down the Red States average tend to vote disproportionally for Democrats. Republican voters earn significantly more than Democrats, even though Red state earn less than Blue states...

...Hardly surprising, we see that in a two-party split, 60-80% of welfare recipients are Democrats, while full time Workers are evenly divided between parties...

...You have similar results in this recent NPR-Poll. Among the Long Term Unemployed, 72% of the two-party support goes to Democrats....

The false impression that Republicans use more welfare is already spread around the internet by liberals who still trust Krugman."

You left out the part that 54% of full time workers are Democrats as opposed to 46% of Republicans.

Plus, this is a 'self-reported' poll, we know how Repubs are generally lacking in self awareness.

Unintentionally, as the numbers aren't all that far apart.
Meanwhile you ignored by far and away the most important points.

So there are more Dems working than Repubs but let's only look at numbers that suit your theory which has a wide swing of 60-80%.

Also you ignored that this is a 'self-reported' poll and Cons are not good at self-reporting at all.

"A 2008 poll of 1,400 Americans by the Cornell Survey Research Institute found that when people were asked whether they had “ever used a government social program,” 57 percent said they had not. Respondents were then asked whether they had availed themselves of any of 21 different federal policies, including Social Security, unemployment insurance, the home-mortgage-interest deduction and student loans. It turned out that 94 percent of those who had denied using programs had benefited from at least one; the average respondent had used four."

From the blog that you copy pasted this, this is what the author had to say

" “Why don't you delve into the numbers at the state to state level?”

Sample size is too small, and political scientists have shown that for these issues state level is misleading."

So, the guy didn't do state by state analysis but he is very clear on why the red states are getting dragged down while blue states are miraculously holding their own.

Then, this is the actual data based on actual surveys' not 'self-reported' BS.

"welfare recipients probably made up no more than 1.5% of Obama's overall voter base in 2008."

One thing the GOP has is a Tsunami of superpak money courtesy of CU. Those who think the wealthy and corporations should run our government should take heart.

It looks like the corporate crony supporters of the Democrats are the winners.

Leave them to the welfare rant, FC.

I hope they do it all the way thru 2014.

There is a reason speaker Pelosi did not step down. She knows these wingers are not going to learn, and we people will finish what they started in 2014.

Pelosi didn't step down because the House democraps didn't have a suitable retard to replace her with. She is still the chief retard.
