GOP constituents also depend on jobless aid

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- When federal emergency unemployment benefits expired last month, the effects ran deep in a Colorado county marked by two exit ramps off Interstate 25 - one leading to the conservative religious group Focus on the Family, the other to the Fort Carson Army post.

Hardly a liberal bastion, El Paso County has the largest number of people in the state who lost unemployment benefits, and many aren't happy about it. Plenty of Republicans, too, depend on jobless aid that Republicans in Congress are hesitant to prolong. The ideological argument for standing against an extension of benefits - that the aid can ultimately make it harder to find work - meets a more complex reality where people live.

1. Yet somehow, these people keep voting republican

Mad and rejected as they may feel now, come election day, they seem to all turn up to the polls and vote republican.

3. GOP Voters: "God, Guns, & Gays. That's ALL that matters."

2. Republican ideologue voters constantly shoot themselves in the foot and

then put that foot in their mouths. Nothing will change, Rush's ratings will remain sky high, their TVs are permanently glued to FAUX, and Hate Radio will never stop blasting away.

Besides, we all know it's Obama's fault. Did you hear the latest, it was Obama who condemned Christ, not Pontius Pilate - check it out in the New Revised Standard Glen Beck New Testament (for sale for only two French gold coins).

4. I don't think they give a flying fuck, because at the end of the day they'll blame Obama

and call him a Muslim job killing, blah, blah, blah. They will shoot themselves in the face despite their foot in their ass.
