Many Repubs that I know are on the government dole...

[kentuck]

But they don't think they are.

They retired from the military early and then, got another job, usually with the government. They are classic "double dippers". They continue to get government healthcare and every penny the government offers that they know about. And they take advantage of it.

But they hate big government.

The old saying about "being careful of what you wish for might apply to these folks."

I'm already starting to hear grumbling about Obama raising taxes and cutting benefits.

Most likely, many of the Tea Party people are also on some type of government "dole". They will be the first to scream uncle when they are asked to sacrifice.

They are different from those Democrats that are on the dole. They deserve theirs.
