Why are Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan talking about welfare so much? It doesn't have anything to do with the economy.

Great! Then we can remove it entirely -- no harm, no foul! YESSSSSSSSSSS -- !!! ;)

How can talking about ‘welfare’ be racist when the black race-hustlers are always telling us that there are more white people in this country on welfare than black people?!

Wow, they're really taking a broad sample of the ideological spectrum: The New Republic, Washington Monthly and New York Magazine.

What's so remarkable is that all these incredibly diverse sources agree completely with the Atlantic.

Please, who can honestly say after this that liberals live in an echo chamber of their own devising?

Interesting tidbit about the author, from Wikipedia:

“In July 2007, after The New Republic published an article by an American soldier in Iraq titled “Shock Troops,” allegations of inadequate fact-checking were leveled against the magazine. Critics alleged that the piece contained inconsistent details indicative of fabrication. The identity of the anonymous soldier, Scott Thomas Beauchamp, was revealed. Beauchamp was married to Elspeth Reeve, one of the magazine’s three fact-checkers. As a result of the controversy, the New Republic and the United States Army launched investigations, reaching different conclusions.”

Also Elspeth, maybe R&R are taking about welfare because Commandante Zero gutted the Clinton welfare reform laws by administrative and illegal fiat just last month?

Do you think that might have something to do with it?

No. They're just bigots. You can now return to your cocoon and your sippee cup.

Depends on how you define welfare. To some people even a fee paid to a doctor for a Medicare covered treatment is welfare ~ TO THE DOCTOR.

Others think receiving a salary for doing work as a military logistics analyst (a desk job ~ most of the time) is welfare.

Yet, others hold out for the more traditional welfare paid through the states to single mothers with young children, those with disabilities that prevent them from working, and so forth.

I consider everything given to Department of Education to be welfare for college deans.

One thing FUR SHUR is that up until this article appeared the Leftwingtards were always claiming that welfare was not a racial issue since more white folks got it than did black folks. This guy says that's just BS.

So, is that a sign the Leftwintards are giving up on any attempt at message coherence?

Could be an interesting campaign ~ what with two doctrinaire socialist revolutionaries running against each other and the interests of the American people.

We'll have to stop that sort of thing in the future.

Welfare has nothing to do with the economy? Welfare is not a huge budget item? What planet is this woman living on?

For every dollar spent on Social Security, we spend 60 cents on welfare (Food Stamps, AFDC, Section 8, etc).

It is breaking the back of this nation.

I don't know what planet she is on either.

Elspeth Reeve was the girlfriend/now wife of Scott Beauchamp who lied about soldiers in Iraq.

So this spinner is trying to pretent there is no difference between social security benefits paid for by workers and their employers and welfare for fat ass lazy racist thugs in the cities? Good. Let’s have that debate in front of the old people.
