Go Mittens!

Polling at zero percent among blacks = probably not going to do so well during the election. To say nothing of Mitt's own "base", which as recently as the RNC was passive-aggressively begging guys like Chris Christie to run. If he can't even fire up his own base, what chance does he stand come election day?
If there aren't that many of them, then why complain that some of your tax dollars are being used to feed them? And you mean to tell me you can't afford friggin' roast beef? Why don't you go out and get a job, lazy ass?
What keeps liberals up at night is the idea that someone, somewhere, isn't getting what he needs.
What keeps conservatives up at night is the idea that someone, somewhere, is getting what he doesn't deserve.

What keeps conservatives up at night is the idea that someone, somewhere, is getting what he doesn't deserve, and it's not them .
Well what about young black men like me whose federal payroll taxes and state withholding taxes are going to pay for Medicare and Social Security* for old white people while I'm less likely than a white person to ever get to collect Social Security?**
Social Security and Medicare are far more expensive programs than the usual "welfare" programs (STAMP, Section 8 and TANF) all combined (almost $2 trillion for the former vs. $120-180 billion for the latter).
Why should I have to pay for old white people who only live to vote Republican and raise taxes on people like me while cutting taxes for people like Paris Hilton?
*Contrary to popular belief Social Security and Medicare aren't paid for like a debit card out of the account of what you saved away. You aren't getting back the exact same money that you put in. The old people who are collecting those programs (most of whom no longer work) are having it paid by the younger (18-55), able-bodied people who are still working and paying payroll and withholding taxes.
**African-Americans are also less likely to collect Social Security and are more likely to get significantly less money if they do collect it:

In this state, food stamp funds are put on a debit card indistinguishable from any other debit card. How do you know the person at the deli is paying for their roast beef with food stamps?
Oh, right -- they're black, so they must be on welfare.
I love this attitude. It's obvious this guy can't do basic math (which is why his salary obviously sucks).
Let's do a quick experiment... let's say he's a single guy, making $40k a year. So his federal tax liability is about $4300. $0.06 of every tax dollar goes to welfare programs for those who can't support themselves, so he contributed $258 dollars last year to welfare programs. Sliced roast beef runs around $7/pound. So, he theoretically purchased about 37 pounds of roast beef for someone in need last year, let's call it about 3 pounds per month.
$20/month he's contributing to the plight of the poor. He's being taxed to death so someone can survive on nothing but 3 pounds of roast beef a month. Makes total sense.
Foam at the mouth, you say? Like this guy?

Also, leave Denmark and Hamlet out of your stupid-ass arguments. :C
"If they didn’t always lie and cheat, they’d never win crap!"
This, from the party based ENTIRELY on lies and deception. Budget? Falls apart on any level of scrutiny. Attacks? Utterly fabricated. Ideology? Incoherent and baseless.
And cheating? You mean like the crackdown on early voting in Ohio, by the Secretary who happens to break the tie between 2-2 R/D district supervisors? Or all the voter ID poll tax bureaucratic bullshit that excludes seniors, minorities and the poor? The same ones a state official said would win his state for Mitt Romney?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a shiny shiny mirror here.
"When food stamp people get pounds of sliced roast beef at the deli while I’m there to get the discount rolls for my lunch, something is totally rotten in Denmark! I’m PAYING FOR THEIR roast beef, yet can’t afford it, myself, because I’m taxed to frikkin’ DEATH!"
Yet somehow I get the feeling you always have enough money for a carton of cigarettes, a case of beer and a new game for your Playstation.
Racist Sentence of the Year:"I’m PAYING FOR THEIR roast beef, yet can’t afford it, myself, because I’m taxed to frikkin’ DEATH!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
