Last nite I had a RWer tell me that ACA was socialized medicine and that he's sick of people getting free shit. This, I kid you not...came from the mouth of a 30 year old with three kids from 2 moms all of whom are on welfare.

The town in which I live is DEEP red. The only folks I know on assistance (quite a few) are Republicans, and yet, they will still argue to the death about "hand-outs". It's okay if you're a broke white guy and vote Republican.
