Laura Ingram: "Democrats won Latinos because they keep giving them free stuff." We can never offer

them ass much as they can." She stated this on her show with Juan Williams and some other lady who agrees with her. She said Marco Rubio will be able to connect with all of them. She also said blacks and single women want free stuff.

They should have learned on Tuesday that they can not win by insulting minorities, the more they speak the more they do to ensure the Democrats keep winning.

The majority of racists I have known constantly have to tell everyone about how they are not racist, of course they always follow the not racist line with a "but..." This is why the Republican Party is doomed, they can't see how their behavior looks to everyone else. They will keep saying this crap and they will continue to piss off minorities as well as non-racist whites, I am white and the racist shit I see from the Republicans pisses me off and I am sure it pisses off minorities even more because they are the ones that have to deal with it directly. The Republicans are really motivating Democrats to get to the polls.

One of my neighbors got free yard signs in her yard from the democrats. In response, she got a free bag of dog poop in her mailbox from the republicans. She definitely liked the democrats' "free stuff" better.

There is almost no "free stuff". Try to find it sometime. I have tried to find it for others with very little luck. If there was lots of free stuff, I would not have needed to feed the homeless on my own dime for the last 20 years, they would have all that "free stuff" to eat.

Even the most destitute, when mentally capable, will jump to take any work at all. I see it every day. Laura, try lining up at the labor pool at 5am in hopes of a few hours of crap work for minimum wage sometime. Yes, Laura, there is a line there every damn day and if you don't get there early you might not even get that work. If there was all this "free stuff" these lines would not exist, no one takes that sort of abuse when they have other options. They do it because the "free stuff" does not really exist.

Reasonable estimates indicate that there are 7000 homeless people here, and there are shelter beds for 700. STFU Laura

Hey, bitch, I have worked since I was a teenager. The only free "stuff" I want is respect.

But hey, you and others just keep up the racism. Your party will be history before too long.

Exactly what are they referring to when they say this? Because as far as I can see, nothing is free.

Repubs can't even possibly imagine that people vote out of anything other than personal gain. They can't understand voting for improving their country or community.
