Bush, analyzing Republicans' chances with black voters, said that his party needs to make a better case to the traditionally Democratic voting bloc.

"Our message is one of hope and aspiration. It isn't one of division and 'Get in line and we'll take care of you with free stuff,'" Bush said Thursday at an event in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

Jeb is becoming more Romneyesque by the day.

That's the Republican leadership for you. Democrat-lite.

Of course he's forgetting that his brother, GWB, already did that when he had Ted Kennedy write Medicare expansion.
Maybe we just didn't give... enough. Yeah, that's the ticket. More money!

They both do it. One party gives a lot to a few and the other gives a little to the many. Pick your poison basically.

What he said is hardly racism. And he's right to say it. Both sides do it however.

Democrats are just better at taking credit for it than Republicans.

Guess it's easier to brag about giving food to impoverished families than it is to brag about using the taxes of the many to subsidize the corporate elite of the few.

More stuff you just cannot make up. His message starts with hope. Now where have I heard that before? Jeb is getting that same desperate look he has when the krispy kreme glazed are still hot and rolling off the line.

Yeah...that's the ticket! It's all so simple for you....unfortunately, such luxuries seem to elude me. Damn the luck!

This is what the Democrats have been doing for decades. "Vote for me and I'll break you off a piece of the rich mans shit, but you can't have any of mine."

Democrats - free stuff.

Republicans - get a job and buy your own stuff.

Democrats - Give people a good education so they get a job and buy their own stuff.

Republicans - Gut education to give tax cuts to corporations and screw teacher's unions, whine when people don't get jobs.

Last week I was looking through a union newsletter which happened to have a political cartoon. The cartoon was about tax breaks and showed a fat cooperation with lots of money and the worker with nothing.

It is not the governments job to distribute wealth. If you want a government that redistributes wealth you want Socialism and Communion.

It reflects reality that blacks (and Democrats generally) want bigger government and the reason they want bigger government is typically for the social welfare spending. The matter of not liking the implications of the truth is a different issue than the mere statement of it - it's OK to admit you like the government freebies.

What does the Pope have to do with government? What do you have against the Catholic rite of communion and the Church's social programs?

Non-story to me, basically Everyone knows this. Politicians (aka Whores) throw out scraps for votes constantly, Dems are no different than Reps and vice versa. Shit McCain and Obama had an auction going on their one townhall. Bernie is out there wanting to give people "free" everything. Reps aren't any cleaner. Don't want to cut the Mil, or even grow it? More jobs for southern kids who don't have a fucking clue what they're doing in life and don't have the grades or job opportunities to do anything with themselves...oh wait, Mil is here to give you a job!

Whores will do anything for those votes...

Yes...but the Pope doesn't have to worry about little details like funding. He's like Bernie: "Free" shit just drops from sky, Everyone happy until they're not, by then he's long gone (but got what he wanted).

The usual Republican rhetoric. Just rename the Reagan-phone the Obama-phone and a nation wide adoption of Romney-care to Obama-care to escape the blame and walk away whistling wearing a "WHO ME?" tea party shirt

Well if it's not true so much the better, we can start reducing those social welfare programs and the people in question won't need to forced into accepting "free stuff" anymore and all the subsequent cognitive dissonance that entails.

Say, do you need another abortion this week? Did you come up with another sick tattoo idea you would like to get? Do you need another hit of the yayo? Is five 60 inch OLED still not enough? Would you like the latest Obama phone model?

Well, vote Democrat, dummy!

We'll make sure you get some money to buy all these things, so long as you (and any dead relative's names you can give us) vote for Democrats!!

note: Identification, citizenship and your name is not required. But, proof that you are a racist, fascist and an enemy of Christianity IS required.
