It wasn’t bigoted of Romney to decry government welfare, it was bigoted to only oppose welfare to the poorest citizens. It was incorrect to say that people getting government assistance will automatically vote for food stamps over a growing economy and good jobs. It was politically stupid to insult potential voters and bigoted to not include the big banks and the crony capitalists in his list of takers. But what would you expect from an elitist socialist like Romney.
For the record, it disgusts me to watch someone buy a load of luxury groceries with their ebt card and load them into their nearly new car.

If you don't like Romney, fine. I thought he ran a weak, gutless campaign myself, and likely would have been a weak, gutless president.

But your comments make no sense. Nobody ever called for "only opposing welfare to the poorest citizens". How can you make such a claim?

And if you don't think large swaths of the American public wouldn't rather sit on their arses than go out and find a job, then you are going to have to explain the record numbers of Americans leaving (or never entering) the work force and accepting government payouts instead.

Your reference to the freeloaders and their groceries in their new car puts the lie to everything else you've said.
