    Lightbulb Voting Against Themselves






    Slashing food stamps will decrease the life expectancy of poor rural whites, many of whom put Republicans in office

    It isn’t hard to understand why Republican Party strategists have been gloating over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s landslide re-election on November 5: at a time when so much is being written about demographics working against the GOP, they’ll take all the victories they can get (especially in a state as heavily Democratic as New Jersey). But Christie’s victory was an outlier, and Christie—as right-wing as he is—has never been a favorite of either the Tea Party or the Christian Right.


    Trends are more revealing than outliers, and one need only attend a Tea Party rally or look at the 2012 election results to see that the GOP base is predominantly white, older and hardly the picture of diversity. But the fact that President Barack Obama, in 2012, won 93% of the African-American vote, 71% of the Latino vote, 73% of the Asian vote, 67% of the non-married female vote and 55% of the overall female vote isn’t the only problem the GOP is facing when it comes to demographics. The GOP’s dirty little secret is that Republican and Tea Party policies are literally killing the GOP’s own base.


    Not all of the older white males (and to a lesser degree, older white females) who vote Republican are affluent, and not everyone who is affluent votes Republican (some of the most expensive, ultra-gentrified cities in the United States—including Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and New York City—are overwhelmingly Democratic).

    That isn't satisfactory. Provide the link to the cite that you cut and paste from.

    I got it from http://www.welfarelaw.org/pubs.html but as of 2006 it's http://www.nclej.org/

    If you have anything specific in my post that you disagree with, then state it.

    If it's just the general denial then I'll understand.

    I just don't think that people should cut and paste without a cite. Thanks.

    We (The United States of America) are currently debating how much we give to other countries like Iran and Afghanistan.

    While we have starving American Men, Women and Children in America being told they must work for any handouts or get drug tested for any handouts.

    WTF WORK has Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Israel for that matter ... done for The Millions they get from The US for Decades?
