Yea it's crazy. I didn't know this till recently that if you are "low income" they will provide a cell phone and mins. for you. It's insane.

It's like how some people are pushing to make internet access free to low income people.
We are really getting rights and privileges confused.

Not as bad as it seems. Started under the Bush era.

Still have to eliminate this loop hole.

This is always how it turns out when they find some ridiculous law to point out.

What you'll notice though, is they don't care Bush signed it into effect. Conservatives believe the problem is Obama hasn't fixed everything, they have no problem with who actually made it crappy.

You would think the GOP sprung up 3 years ago with no memory or responsibility to the past.

its sad politics has become as extreme and bi-partisan as it is. terrible policies that just hand stuff out for free such as these could be eliminated while other good democratic policies could be spared, same for republican policies. instead, we are forced to choose from the two polar extremes without a real option for grey area.

What is really crazy is we can have a thread about replacement refs moved away from the main page but, this **** is OK to be posted on it :thumbsup:

I saw this yesterday and was a little shocked by the reference it was from Obama. Lifeline has been available since the late 80's by telephone companies at that time until it was made federal by Republicans.

This. Read this, everyone.

The idea of free phone service for low income families was introduced during the Great Depression. It was made policy by the Reagan administration. It was made to apply to cell phones by the Bush 2 administration.

At least do a little research before you come on here and look a fool, OP.

The ones looking like fools are the ones voting for Obama thinking he's the reason they are getting a free phone. Or the fact they are voting for him based on just getting a phone. It's embarrassing.

It really is, but just like the Howard Stern video, Jay-walking, and anything else, you can find stupid people anywhere who support all types of candidates.

It's equally foolish to post about it, naming the thread Obamaphone, and insinuating that Obama was the cause.

No worries there, this is one of the reasons Romney continues with his increasingly stupid 47%. These are the people he thinks he's referring to and the least likely to vote.

But Republicans hate poor people. This can't be true. Why would heartless rich bastards help the poor?

Dude, the people that will be getting the phone are poor. They will be voting for Obama not because they get a free phone. They will be voting for him because they fall in the 47% of Americans that Romney does not care about along with the Elderly and war Vets.

Obama will still have people vote for him because "he gave us a phone and he gonna do more."

Obama didn't give her that phone, and neither did Bush. Her fellow Americans gave her that phone.

[Mecklomaniac]

Everybody needs a phone... internet access... gps...and who doesn't like music. Free Iphones for everyone, that's gotta be in the constitution somewhere.

[loborugger]

Give me a free phone or give me death!

He didn't say that idiot. Imagine if these left wing spin doctors were against Obama. All the shyt he has in his past , it would be a soo easy for them to destroy him.

[Requiem]

America having one of the most dumb-downed electorates/citizens in the world isn't a new development. Been like that for a long time.

This^

that woman is part of the 47% that Romney spoke of......

[errand]

do you realize it does not matter who signed it into law.. the masses think it is an obamafone..

that is what counts..

And you can bet his underlings will tell them that Obama is why they get a phone......just like the "Obama money" woman in Detroit that said he gets the money from "his stash"

[errand]

what's sad is this poor woman will never believe her hard working neighbors bought and paid for that phone she's given....

[gunns]

This^

And unfortunately for Romney it's not the 47% the Tax Center was referring to. THAT'S where he went wrong, not doing more research, just latching on to a segment of the population he's made assumptions about. Shoot from the hip, yep that's what we need.

"47% of the population does not accept personal responsibility."

Oops.

See you in 2016, Republicans.

Oh, and errand's a racist.

I wasn't posting this as trying to say Obama gave out the free phones.....i just thought the video was funny.....they name of it on youtube is "obamaphone" and I thought it was sad that people will vote for a president because they are concerned about a free phone.

[Cito Pelon]

This is about giving rural folks the same access to modern telecommunications as urban people.

Same as the Rural Electrification Act and Rural Free Delivery did way back when. It's something you do to keep yourself a modern, progressive country.

Once again, you miss the point.

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Nope.

Just pointing out that the title of your video refers to the "Obamaphone Lady" when it should actually read "Dubyaphone Lady."

But I realize you live in a fact-free zone.

Did you watch the video? She calls it an "Obama Phone". She thinks Obama gave it to her. That's part of the point.

[DAN_BRONCO_FAN]

If you think the average voter throughout history is any more informed than these people, you'd be wrong. It just goes to show that no matter how much we make technology and education available, there is a baseline intelligence that the human race will never go past until it evolves.

It is a herd, and these people are the slowest. But they still get a voice just like the rest of us.

The question then becomes whether you believe the human race advances more efficiently giving them a voice. I tend think that yes, it does.

Given that's she's wrong, what sort of point do you think you have?

Suffice it to say, Romney was speaking about people with attitudes like the Obama phone lady.
