GOP Has Convinced Many Voters That Government ONLY Benefits Blacks, Hispanics & Minorities.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP's decades long propaganda has convinced many white voters that government only benefits the undeserving. I keep hearing meme's in all their variations that Obama et al are taking your money and giving it to the lazy. The sad reality is the politics of resentment works. And the media keeps reinforcing such nonsense 24/7.

We hear such meme's in statements like I don't want my money to pay for someone else's health insurance. Or there are code words inferring that the DemocRAT party is the party of blacks and hispanics. Whites are the people persecuted. Obama is racist, or Blacks and Hispanics are THE racists.

Until we break that mind set in this country nothing will change. We will become more and more polarized.

1. Democrats don't do much to change that view either.

Like always they rarely confront Republicans.
They just accept that people will know it isn't true and say nothing.

4. You Are Right. The Trouble Is The Dems Won't Play Smash Mouth Politics.

I am on the Norman Goldman side of things. I believe in smash mouth politics. The Dems need to confront these GOPPERS and their lies in no uncertain terms. I have been disappointed about the Dems timidness for years. What are they afraid of losing. Well they are losing anyway and need to at least go down fighting. They might win exposing these goons.

2. IF it were true....

I would have checks coming.... I wouldn't mind having checks come, but its not going to happen unless I go on Social Security in years to come (That is, if there is even such a thing, later on in my life. Right now, I am planning my own retirement.).

3. I'm still waiting on that free

Education the Republicans were running around telling everyone I got in 1994.

Last I heard it was supposed to be 60K.

Let me guess - the check is in the mail?
