I kind of always suspected it: Tea Baggers don't really like poor people.

(http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/09/registering_the_poor_to_vote_is_un-american.html)The group also elevates individuals who advocate for other limits to the franchise. In November, the King Street Patriots hosted a $100 per plate fundraiser featuring right-wing columnist Michael Vadum. Earlier that year Vadum authored an article titled "Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American:" (http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/09/registering_the_poor_to_vote_is_un-american.html)

"Registering [the poor] to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals," he wrote. "It is profoundly anti-social and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country."

A 9mth old story ?

You really never heard the phrase

"When you find yourself stuck in a hole, step 1 is to stop digging"

You're becoming a caricature

But liberals love stupid people. I used the word stupid not ignorant. There is a big difference between the two.

MD: learn some basic logic. Ascribing the attributes of a member of a group to the entire group is a fallacy. Whenever I see such an error in logic I tend to ignore anything that follows.

Conservatives love stupid religious people. I used the word stupid not ignorant. There is a big difference between the two.

TJDave, you are making a huge mistake. Most Conservatives I know have nothing to do with Religion. Evangelicals are a whole different animal.

The two paths cross from the Evangelical side mostly. Don't lump them together. It's a fallacy that all Conservatives are Religious. I am agnostic as they get. But I am also very conservative, with Libertarian leanings.

No it wasn't. Example boxcar. He certainly fits the category of stupid religious person, but I don't think there is much conservative love for him

Hey we can agree on something. Gotta give box credit, he can bring people together in a way few others can.
