lower-income Americans do not supply Republican Party with many votes

[liberal N proud]

LA TIMES:

"It's going to be a tight budget," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a budget watchdog group that lobbies for smaller deficits. "That doesn't mean it's going to be a realistic budget."

Bush's budget will cut "where the money is," Bixby said Saturday, "but it's also where the resistance is."

"The lower-income Americans who benefit from food stamps and Medicaid do not typically provide the Republican Party with many votes or campaign contributions."

1. That's been true for a while

And the poor that do vote for them, vote against their economic interests because of resentments.

2. Good thing the dems chose to be "the middle class" party then.

Makes a lot of sense leaving the ever-increasing majority without representation!

4. The jury is still out on this one.

We don't know who the Dems have decided to represent yet.

3. Some family values

shown in this budget. They are such hypocrits.

5. I think Thomas Frank would disagree with that statement.
