Democrats get more minority votes because they are the party who will keep entitlements. Pure and simple. Minorities are more likely than Caucasians to pursue entitlements.

This is the point Cosby was making. The sheeple have not all realized that entitlements are Dems' way of keeping them down. Feed 'em, have 'em spit out babies to inflate the voting base, and they're too busy and too poor to get educated.

This is not MHO, it is fact. I did the welfare job and I know.

Since welfare reform, the number of people on welfare is about 4 million, 2% of the total US population of 300 million. People on welfare and people in the lowest socio-economic group, incomes below $30,000 are only 23% of the voters in this nation. Persons below $15,000 are 8% of the electorate and persons below $30,000 are 15% of the electorate. You can't win many elections with only 23% of the voters as your core constituency.
In 2004, 36% of poor people voted for Bush and 42% of persons with incomes from $15,000 to $30,000 voted for Bush.
Black voters are 11% of the electorate and Latino voters are 8%.
