"Now it (food stamps) is simply a lifestyle choice for the typical Dem voter."

As a typical 50 year Dem voter, I gotta say there is more bullshit in your statement than there is on the 320 acre ranch next door to me.

Republican-Heavy Counties Eat Up Most Food-Stamp Growth
Seventy percent of counties with the fastest-growth in food-stamp aid during the last four years voted for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data compiled by Bloomberg. They include Republican strongholds like King County, Texas, which in 2008 backed Republican John McCain by 92.6 percent, his largest share in the nation; and fast-growing Douglas County, Colorado.
