I don't want to hear another word from conservative politicians and talk show losers trashing Americans dependent on food stamps because of the destructive policies put in place by Republicans.
Bloomberg: Republican-Heavy Counties Eat Up Most Food-Stamp Growth: Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said in
May that he’d written off votes from 47 percent of Americans who are collecting
government aid. Turns out many of them are part of his political base. Seventy
percent of counties with the fastest-growth in food-stamp aid
during the last four years voted for the Republican presidential candidate in
2008, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by Bloomberg.
They include Republican strongholds like King County, Texas, which in 2008 backed
Republican John McCain by
92.6 percent, his largest share in the nation; and fast-growing Douglas County,Colorado.
That means Romney is counting on votes from areas where
lower-income people have become more reliant on the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, known as food stamps.
I don't know, just guessing here, but maybe it's because being hopeless food stamp recipients isn't their cup of tea? This is much like not understanding why people with the most bug bites would vote for insect repellant.
