Discussion: GOP Candidate: I'm Losing The Single Mothers Vote Because They 'Need Benefits To Survive'

Discussion for article #228695

It is ALWAYS the morality play with these fools.
Their entire belief system is based on the idea that THEY are the ONLY MORAL PEOPLE and their “opponents” are all IMMORAL PEOPLE.
It is the only way they can deal with the cognitive dissonance of calling themselves “Christians” while at the same time openly worshiping “Mammon”.
It is one of the big reasons they are ALWAYS angry about everything. Deep down in their subconscious they KNOW they are being cruel, selfish, assholes but their own inflated EGOS won’t let them admit it so they project all that self-loathing onto others who are “not them”.
sad really.

Change bomb throwing insurgents. Weird word choice. Is that a dog whistle to angry WHITE males to become violent toward Mr. Booker?

“Democrats benefit from” the decline in marriage rates. What an ass. Nobody benefits from the decline in marriage rates. Nothing stops Republicans from focusing on the problems of single moms just like Democrats. Republicans have just chosen not to pay any attention to the difficulties of raising children in a single parent family.

TPM, hire a copy editor. The author only refers to the subject of the article as “Bell.” Doesn’t he have a first name? His opponent is referred to as “Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ).”

Does anyone ever tell them the vests are loaded?

Old White men believe they are so wonderful that ALL women crave their penises. Only when given a proper white, glow in the dark, penis will these women see the light and vote for republicans. Arrogant SOB

I think his lagging in the polls is because of how many people are tired of the GOP basically pushing ordinary people into poverty so that they have to ‘wed the social safety net’.

But this is typical, isn’t it. It’s never ‘my ideas might be wrong’, it’s ‘WAHHH- they don’t like me’ kind of excuses.

I really wish men (especially rich, white, cis-het men) would grow the eff up!

Does Bell have a full name? Is Bell his first name or his second? Maybe it is nothing but a well known discription. Don’t know.

I love TPM, it always forces me to look things up. I think the candidate is Jeff Bell.

It makes me chuckle when the far-far/rights’ say that they “think”.

They bitch about people having kids to get on welfare, then bitch about people using birth control or having abortions…I think they just like bitching…

Yeah, dude, you’re trailing by double digits in the polls b/c of the “welfare queens.”

Pasty right wing white guy says what?

Never even crossed his mind that he’s lagging in the polls, because of his abhorrent beliefs. He truly believes that every single woman or mother actually relies on the safety net, huh? I guess how else could we function without a man?

I certainly hope the Republicans can find room for this guy as a party strategist after the election is over.

Yeah, well, perhaps if the “job creators” weren’t fucking everyone senseless with stagnant wages, massive inflation, lack of retirement benefits, etc., then people could get the fuck off the "entitlement’ system, you fucking puppet of the plutocrats.

This guy probably also describes himself as pro-life/anti-choice, too. Sure, force the single mothers to bear children, and then let them die if they can’t survive, if not for public assistance.

So this “man”, who looks as though he came straight out of the 1950s’, is the CHANGE candidate??? Somebody needs to tell the jackass that people are FREE to marry or FREE to not marry in the United States of America. Somebody also needs to tell him that the UNDERLYING problem is the OUTSOURCING of good American jobs of every kind and that marriage and child rearing require MONEY…money that is NO LONGER AVAILABLE because people like him are stuffing the profits in their pockets as fast as they can.

Yeh. Poor fools have been led to believe that doing what they’re told to do by handlers is ‘thinking’. They’ve been rendered incapable of ‘thinking’ outside theFox.
