How can Romney beat Obama when almost half of the country is on government assistance?
The poll numbers amazed me-how can Obama be that close (or even beat) Romney in the polls?
Because the takers won't vote to cut their aid-why would they?
Illegals who don't have to show ID will take those numbers over the top and Obama will win by default.

Sometimes personal dignity has it's price when a person never valued it in the first place
p.s. this country was founded by people who rejected government control-how dare they take a country that restored and fought for self reliance and turn it into a nation of slaves?
The slaves on the plantation were controlled too, but they had their food and lodging paid for-and guess what? they didn't like it, they wanted freedom.
Imagine that!
Yep, exactly so. Hey, isn’t it awesome that states like Oregon now have an assisted suicide law - people can help you kill yourself, legally too!
It’s like they had this plan all along.
“I’d bet money, at least 40 percent of people posting here are on the tax paid government welfare teet.”
Why do you think so many are defending their social security checks? Government assistance is ok, apparently.

So, how big is a household?
You cannot draw the conclusion that half the country is on the dole based on that sort of contention.

I wasn’t referring to SS slick.
Try reading the posts.
You’re another overpaid government employee who helped loot SS?
That's nearly 100% ~ not just 50%.
I find that and you very suspect...
If you laid them off and started with the Generals and research scientists I'm sure the private sector could find jobs for that crowd pretty quick.
Most proposals have been to start with the janitors though, or the retirees! (which is just hilarious).
Did you know you could fire 100% of all the federal employees and that wouldn't put a dent in the deficit.
The folks who want to get rid of Social Security imagine that the government can simply cancel the system and that debt will disappear.
Which, of course, is nonsense. What would more likely happen (in this very theoretical situation) is the people to whom it is owed would demand a refund (so you'd have to pay all of it back right now), or there'd be violence of a very selective sort ~
We are stuck with the debt, payments will be made, Congress will live to see another day.
Oh gezzz...I made the mistake of posting to muwiwa...I forgot, you're a freaking nutcase, no offense though...
See ya!
On the other hand the Democrats love Romney ~ which is why he will lose.
I know of a couple with two kids, that once BOTH had jobs. He an admin of some sort and she an RN. They slowly became addicted to gambling of any form, mostly video games and VFW bingo, etc.
Round about the time when Obama became elected, both of them ‘lost’ their jobs. Their daughter supposedly has epilepsy and is on SSI/DI I guess (she never worked). Neither of them still has a job although I’ll be damned if I can figure out how an RN can’t get a job.
Both of them are complete slobs, on UIC, getting disability money for their daughter. If you could take a gander at their wallets, there’s likely EBT and SNAP documentation there. Their car is adorned with Obama sticker.
I listen to them occasionally, they complain how tough it is for them, yet put $20 bills in the video games consistently. They can’t scratch up a hundred dollars between them, yet they can gamble. Overheard the wife the other day - their home airconditioner broke down and they didn’t have enough to repair it - they went and bought three $60 window airconditioners and are dumb enough to claim “the electric bill is less.” They know their house looks like white trash central but don’t care. Their likely unrepossessed PT Cruiser has two completely bald front tires. In short they are leeching, disgusting sloths.
They will NEVER go back to work because all they do is show up in what looks like the clothes they slept in and gamble each morning. They then proceed to make their ‘rounds’. If I knew where to call, I’d drop a dime on them with whoever is responsible for making sure the daughter with epilepsy is being taken care of with the money we give them.
There is no value added with these two. I’m afraid their type outnumber the legitimately needy people who don’t intend to be leeches.
You are a case of cracked nuts ~ if you catch my drift.
We’ll see how you do when Mom throws you out of her basement.
I would vote for a Mark Levin book as it has more spine than a Republican, but the ballot is Mitt or Barack.
The Hump then lost in a staggering Nixonian runaway, and 4 years later Nixon once again beat the hapless George McGovern and old what's his name ~ Shriver. I mean it was incredible, and the Dems assured everybody Nixon was a crook, had evil things in mind, would keep on running the war ~ oh he was awful.
They told us we didnt' have to love McGovern to agree with him.
The public ignored the propagandists.
You must be too young to remember 1968. It was a close election, and we didn't know until the next day that Nixon had won. It wasn't a runaway.
The anti Democrat vote was INCREDIBLE ~
