re: #60 Dreggas

This is where part of me says they should see what really could happen when they vote against their interest. They think that somehow their money is going to some welfare queen in New York or somewhere else when in reality the money, plus some, is coming back to them and their state.

Ah.
You know as well as I do there are no “welfare queens”. There are the occasional horror stories, but most people using assistance use it for a limited time to get through a tough crisis in their lives.

As for people voting against their interests - I voted McCain, and I’m in one of the states you mentioned (La.). I just have a different view of what’s in my best interest, than you do of what you think is in my best interest. So I’m not sure I would call the folks in any of the states stupid.

And our Governor (who I have absolutely no love or respect for) did decline some of the stimulus money, and was roundly criticized for it.
