The Democrats made his father lazy
Posted By katie allison granju
He blames the Dems for turning his formerly hardworking farmer-dad into a welfare sponge. And that’s why this guy says he now votes Republican:
Mr. Turnbow explains why after living life as the son of a rural Democrat farmer made want to have little to do with that party as he grew into manhood:
When the income from farming dipped in the early 80’s, dad went and signed up on food stamps and they also increased the monthly check he was drawing. I noticed a change in him when he did this. He gradually stopped working on the farm like he had been doing before he signed us all up on welfare. He started becoming fearful of someone seeing him out on the farm working because he was afraid they would turn him in and they would eliminate the food stamps and the monthly check he was getting. Then when 1986 rolled around and he was diagnosed with lung cancer he just completely gave up on everything and became totally dependent on welfare the final seven years of his life. He went from getting up at 5 am to go to work on the farm to sitting in his chair by the window watching people go to work and waiting on the mailman to come by at 1 pm every afternoon. It was a situation I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Thats why I have only voted for two Democrats in my life so far. I’m not in the business of insulting Democrats because I know neither party is made of gold but I can not in good conscious support a political party that discourages people from working the way they do.
