Race Card # ? : Pelosi saying GOP Takes Food Away

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...cs-and-demographics-of-food-stamp-recipients/

Of these, about one-in-five (22%) of Democrats say they had received food stamps compared with 10% of Republicans. About 17% of political independents say they have received food stamps.

The share of food stamp beneficiaries swells even further when respondents are asked if someone else living in their household had ever received food stamps. According to the survey, about three in ten Democrats (31%) and about half as many Republicans (17%) say they or someone in their household has benefitted from the food stamp program.

But when the political lens shifts from partisanship to ideology, the participation gap vanishes. Self-described political conservatives were no more likely than liberals or moderates to have received food stamps (17% for each group), according to the survey.

Beyond politics, equally large or larger gaps emerge in the participation rates of many core social and demographic groups. For example, women were about twice as likely as men (23% vs. 12%) to have received food stamps at some point in their lives. Blacks are about twice as likely as whites to have used this benefit during their lives (31% vs. 15%). Among Hispanics, about 22% say they have collected food stamps.

Now there's a classic example of how a dem not only keeps blacks "on their porches," but while doing it, get the same suckers you're screwing to actually vote for you. Wow!!!! Mind boggling doesn't describe it.
 
Hopefully we can get some republicans in office who don't tremble in fear when such race baiting is used against them.

One gift Obama has given us is to peel off the pretense. He and the democrats want to target those who actually work to support their increasing army of takers. It's no accident that virtually all of his proposals, from obamacare on down, rely on republican voters to pay for benefits for democrat voters. That is called "compassion" among democrats and the media. Others call it "wealth redistribution" or simply "theft."

While not all inclusive, obviously, this sure puts shadow on that whole "red state/blue state taker/giver" conversation we have around here a lot. Will have to remember to bring this up next time some lefty throws that out.
