#1 What part of Romney's bit about 47% of Americans depending on some form of government funded income and so that they would oppose any government reform was factually incorrect (whether or not you agree with Romney about anything else)?

What part about Reagan's observation that we have multigenerational welfare families (read: single mommies and disability cheats) was factually incorrect?

What part of Bill Clinton's observation that the era of big government should end was factually incorrect?

Why are four of the richest counties in the U.S. the ones surrounding Washington D.C., their wealth consisting of public functionaries, bureaucrats, regulators, and the lawyers and lobbyists who bribe them for favors, instead of places where actual private sector productivity occurs?

Why is this pattern repeated around state capitals and state-funded university towns across America?

#5 I am really sick of all these progressive, nanny state idiots lecturing people on how they are so stupid or confused or wrong for not parroting the party line.

Keep it up assholes and I'll shove my shoe down your throat.
