CHARLES M. BLOW ON GOP AGENDA, PART THREE

Charles M. Blows next editorial in his scathing series against the GOP agenda concerns the "anti-black rhetoric" circulating throughout the party.  According to Blow, Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum suggested that he "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.”  This remark was seen by Blow as one that is incredibly racist in theory, suggesting that the black population in the United States is asking and all need welfare.  Blow critiques the method of the GOP candidates as he dismisses the "false dichotomy of welfare checks vs. paychecks", as the vast majority of people in welfare systems either are too young or too old to work, or in fact do work.
