Oh. That's right.
When you say something just too utterly stupid to defend, that was just a "joke". I forgot.

No, you didn't forget. You just took it seriously and now you look stupid. Not my fault every joke has to be explained to you.

Why do you think that is???

Alias: "Because they're on welfare and want a raise"?

Do you see it now? Maybe that's why you don't get Ann Coulter. Over your head.

Bullshit; the same farmers voting Republican that you think hold a higher moral authority walk down and get their large welfare (subsidy, or what ever euphemism you want to call it) check for thousands of dollars, yet they bitch and whine about some poor inner city lady trying to get her small check so they can just scrape up a small dinner for her family and children.

That farmer works and produces a product. Comparing a farmer to a welfare queen who gets a raise everytime she has a kid is plain stupid, but I'm not surprised you would not see the difference. Besides, just as many farmers vote democrat as republican. Your bigotry is showing.

Ah, but I thought you were against giving people money even if it helps them get ahead when we were in the thread talking about Sweden. Because that's essentially the same exact idea with both programs (even though the inner city recipient is working multiple jobs just to put food on their tables, and they're usually below or near poverty line). But I guess its bad when it comes to inner city people. Why is that, Alias? Is it because they're predominantly black, predominantly Democratic? I swear, this hypocritical shit is getting annoying.

And please, don't lie..not so much as that its rude, but you're so bad at it. We all know that farm and country districts go predominantly Republican.

And also, bigotry? Please! I'm starting to get frustrated with the Democrats and the new makeup of Congress. They're already ruining it. Believe me, I'm starting to get pissed...they're going to put the popular frustration with Washington to waste. They're only interested in regular left-right paradigm issues, while ignoring the important ones, as to give the illusion of an opposition party. They don't want to repeal the Patriot Act (or at least the parts that erode our bill of rights), nor do they want to repeal the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (which erases our habeas corpus), nor are they interested in the impeachment process. Which, by all means, both the President and Vice President can be legitimately impeached and/or indicted; which would actually make Pelosi (as speaker of the House) the new President of the United States (which they should want; even though I don't think I would like that anyway). But that's another debate altogether and if you want to debate about it, start another thread.

The worst part about that is when you sign the page that shows you how much you will end up paying back....

Give me the names of the inner city recipient working mulitiple jobs just to put food on the table or else admit you are just exaggerating your claims to emotionalize the issue. Again you stereotype by bringing in color into the discussion. I have black people in my family so you can take back your racist box you are trying to put me in. Why don't you try sticking to the topic instead of trying to frame the debate with emotion and race.

And no, we don't know that farm and country districts predominatly go republican. Minnesota and Iowa are farm districts and they are pretty much democrat. Missouri has tons of farms and they just elected a democrat senator.

Try again.

The Democrats didn't win it, the Republicans lost it, and you know well that happened. My point still stands. You can't argue that country America doesn't vote predominantly Republican. It just won't work.
