    Keep telling yourself that. Red states full of Cons are the inbreeding grounds for welfare and federal assistance especially Medicare which costs far more than any other entitlement program and they vote overwhelmingly for Republicans. Your poor uneducated religious bigots do not have high incomes or pay enough taxes to make up for their pathetic existence.

    "From the Gellman-paradox we know that the low-income voters who drag down the Red States average tend to vote disproportionally for Democrats. Republican voters earn significantly more than Democrats, even though Red state earn less than Blue states...
    ...we see that in a two-party split, 60-80% of welfare recipients are Democrats, while full time Workers are evenly divided between parties.

    You have similar results in this recent NPR-Poll. Among the Long Term Unemployed, 72% of the two-party support goes to Democrats.

    It appears that once more common sense is right and the impression left by the New York Times wrong. Indeed, people who live off the government disproportionally support Democrats....

    So THIS is the "purpose" of the thread. No wonder it's rated 1 star.

    We have been through that already, this was a SELF-REPORTED poll where 60% of those working were Dems while Repubs are known to be blissfully unaware of their own mooching.

    "A 2008 poll of 1,400 Americans by the Cornell Survey Research Institute found that when people were asked whether they had “ever used a government social program,” 57 percent said they had not. Respondents were then asked whether they had availed themselves of any of 21 different federal policies, including Social Security, unemployment insurance, the home-mortgage-interest deduction and student loans. It turned out that 94 percent of those who had denied using programs had benefited from at least one; the average respondent had used four."

    From the blog that you copy pasted this, this is what the author had to say

    " “Why don't you delve into the numbers at the state to state level?”

    Sample size is too small, and political scientists have shown that for these issues state level is misleading."

    So, the guy didn't do state by state analysis but he is very clear on why the red states are getting dragged down while blue states are miraculously holding their own. Please explain that to me.

    Then, this is the actual data based on actual surveys' not 'self-reported' BS.

    "welfare recipients probably made up no more than 1.5% of Obama's overall voter base in 2008."

    Any thread that leans to the left on this sub-forum is rated one star while the horrible predictions by Morris and Chambers are rated 5 star. Tells you who does the 'voting' around these parts.
