because Republicans don't want to vote for Romney but every time they focus in on someone else they realize that most of the people running for the nomination are awful people
From: Xeramako | #012 you know, the statement he made could actually be a totally reasonable thing to say if followed up with something appropriate or in a certain context.
i'm sure this particular quote has neither of these qualities, though.
The full quote:
"I don't want to make black people's lives better, I want to make them worse!"

"I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
Is the full quote. I'm sure they appreciate the opportunity.
"I don't want to make black people's lives better, I want to make them worse!"
In his defense, here is the full quote:
"I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money and provide for themselves and their families."
The controversy though is that when talking about welfare recipients he singled out blacks.

WTH is that controversial exactly?
I mean, if I am LOWBALLING this, they are 75% of that system.
As he says right after that that he wants to give them the opportunity to earn their own money Sounds like a good idea to me. Let people earn money for themselves

I don't like the scapegoating of welfare recipients. Welfare recipients receive a tiny percentage of the country's funds. Our problems will not go away if you cut them off. There may very well be no economic gains at all.

Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link.
Right. Because it is white people's money. And the government is stealing it to give it to black people. That's how this works. He's describing reality.
It sounds okay for all of two seconds until you actually think about it and realize he's really saying "I want to cut taxes on the rich and pay for them by cutting social programs that help poor people."

If you have been on welfare for more than 2 years, and are not even ATTEMPTING to find a job, you should be cut off of welfare. Period. He is right on this. They cost this country a ton of money.

What if this sounds reasonable but the other statement you gave doesn't?
But anyway, if you want to cut spending, you have to cut the things we actually spend lots of money on. Bailouts to large banks. Social Security. The Military. Medicare.

Even if Iowa is only 3% black, a threefold increase to nine percent would put the number of blacks on welfare nationwide nowhere near a majority, let alone 75%.

If we are just going white vs black (I have no doubt that ilegal immigrants have a ton) they are pulling 3 out of 4 easy.
I don't see what is wrong with demanding people actually work, the liberals do.
Not necessarily. States like Iowa may have very low percentages of people on unemployment overall. If most of the people on welfare nationally come from a few states with a high black population (say, New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, California, Michigan), you could get to a much higher percentage by doing the tripling calculation in each state rather than just tripling nationally.

there are more poor white people than there are black people too. <_<; i mean yes, proportionate to each other blacks do make up a high amount (if you make up 30% of the pie and are 10% of the population, well...) which is why that stereotype exists, but just by raw numbers can't really see whites not leading that one too.

Oh, and cut pay to government officials. By a negative amount. That's a cut, right?

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.
...you doubt the numbers have changed of a 9 year old poll where we had a national collapse in the economy and multiple industires have gotten torn to sheads.

I don't see much wrong with what he said. Maybe just singling out black people, but black people have been historically at a disadvantage in the past when it comes to job opportunities.
Welfare isn't a large part of the debt, I'm sure. But... uh wouldn't they get more money if they had the opportunities available to make more money? This isn't just about how much money is spent. But how much money they take in. I'd imagine their lives would be better with a job, than on Welfare. And then hey -- they'd have more money to spend.
It's also part of why we should be raising the minimum wage right now.

The question is "how does he intend to do that?" It'd be great if more jobs existed and they paid better. I don't think anything Santorum would suggest would actually accomplish those things.
