"Interesting" database. I would like people to take a good look at this

and figure out WHY rural counties stay voting Republican. The majority of "farmers" in our district receiving BIG BUCKS(one is even receiving 3 different checks under 3 different names and the only thing he farms is bullshit!) don't even farm. Just another republican boondoggle to buy rural votes.

1. If you believe in all the right

things - no legal abortions, discrimination against gay people etc., that means you are holy enough to cash checks fraudulently and still feel better than other people.

3. Honestly this really pisses me off

and the majority of this pork is in Republican rural districts and looking at my local dynamics, answers the questions of WHY so many people in poverty here can keep supporting republican policy. The ugly answer is they don't.
The farmers are receiving welfare that they are fighting tooth and nail to keep.

2. I asked a similar question and the general answer was "God, guns and gays."

So I guess the right includes an alliance with those who take government money and don't work. It's probably easy for a farmer to convince other freepers that he works.
