That is EXACTLY what is happening, and what keeps 'em on The Plantation, for 4 generations. Handouts of other-people's-money, wealth-redistribution, Reparations, or whatever you want to call it, this is what we have today.
To be called "racist" for not supporting the handouts to buy votes that Progressives use is a badge of honor, for telling it like it is, IMHO.
I hope Santorum wins based on nothing more than his comment; it is a message that needs to be broadcast.
But it still has nothing to do with race, and there was no reason for Santorum to single out the blacks.
Even if the CBS numbers are bogus, there are still whites on welfare in greater numbers.
That’s very true, but I don’t think he said “black people,” because the audio is very unclear at that point and it seems as if he could have started to say one thing and then decided to say something else. I’m not sure how they got “black people” out of it.
And I don’t even like Santorum because I think he’s a bit of a sanctimonious prig and has no new ideas. But they’re trying to get him for something he didn’t do (even though he would have been absolutely correct - welfare does not improve the lives of blacks).
