Lawrence O'Donnell calls Red states"welfare" states; urges Blue states to secede

[Tribemike]

Didn't Buchanan point out that it was the Republicans in those so-called "Blue" states that paid all the taxes?

O'Donnell is a lunatic.

[x1stcav]

As somebody else has pointed out, the blue states aren't so much states as urban areas within otherwise red states. It'll be pretty lonely for them, but let them secede and then have to outsource their military protection to the rest of us.

[GulliverSwift]

No, the Blue states have the welfare people. Both the filthy rich big city people and the welfare leeches are in the big city.

[Tweaker]

This guy is infected with the same mental illness as Gore.

[The Great Yazoo]

No to mention their groceries.

Why doesn't O'Donnell do himself a favor and relocate to Cuba?

He'll be much happier there.

[Lady Jag]

Lawrence O’Donnell is such a dolt that none of the Dems told him they're all moving to Canada.

[Senator Goldwater]

Larry, Larry.

Quite contrary.

[x1stcav]

Their fuel?

[carlr]

The"Red States" are welfare? From a New Yorker take my word most of you don`t know what a welfare state is.

[FormerACLUmember]

Clearly, Blue = Government "workers" and welfare checks.

O'Donnell is a lunatic and a LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR... ( My O'Donnell imitation in a debate).

[sittnick]

Suppose he's right, that the red states have a net gain from federal spending versus what they put in.

Big deal! In case they haven't figured it out, it is not mainly about the money. If someone told me that we would have local sovereignty over abortion and pornography and gun control and bureaucracy and tax policy, and in exchange I might not get prescription coverage in my Medicaid, I would take that deal in a Northeast Blue State Minute!!

[vbmoneyspender]

Cool. Maybe now the left half of O'Donnell's brain will secede from the right half of his brain. On second thought, it appears that that particular act of secession may have already occurred.

[comebacknewt]

Actually, it is the red suburbs that pay for welfare for the inner city and rural folks in almost every state.

[OpusatFR]

Why doesn't he just drop the pretense, fall on the floor screaming and kick his legs.

I love watching him. It just makes me feel warm and happy all over!

[Lijahsbubbe]

Waaah! Democrat cying baby logo needed.

[Jagdgewehr]

...food and raw materials.

Big mistake to think that the "blue" can be self sufficient without the "red."

[mlocher]

let's use some aristotelian logic. let's get rid of welfare and see which states and counties scream the loudest!
