Are there any evidence that Democrats are the party of wanting "hand-outs"?

I'm going to assume there are more Republican voters that are hand-out oriented.

Could it be the way they handle money that passes through their hands badly? Without touching their own to use? It's their hand that has been in my pocket for the last few years looking for more hand-outs, not their own pockets.

I don't get into party favors--who did what before--- It's who is my pocket now is what my concerns are --it them begging for more and more so I can pay for everyone's wants more than needs even some who don't want to work for it, while increasing their own worth as well and living and spending lavishly... and I don't see it ending

I don't mind a hand up, but not a hand out. And that's what it has become for many- with our now governments encouraging it

I don't want to see one dime go to them from anywhere, till I see some changes that they can handle money well that passes through their hands now. Like giving an alcoholic another bottle to cure their bad habit--it doesn't help they just want more

Certainly. You have the claims of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party, Romney, etc. Isn't their unsupported word evidence enough for you? Or are you one of those atheist science types that wants empirical evidence?

Not unless you count people that don't have anything to live on, no job, disabled and voted for Obama. Other wise, the ones who are wanting the handouts are the ones who want to dirty you air and water and not be held responsible. That want to lower or eliminate worker safety requirements and liability standards for workers comp. You know, the kind of people who will fire however many workers it takes to pay for improved safety or environmental procedure's. Then claim they lost money!

Of course you would assume that. No ****. You also assume that Democrats are more intelligent and the only group keeping this country from driving itself into the ground. Because politics is your religion and pundits are the priests from which your opinions come.
