Cutting off support for welfare moms is the last rallying cry of the Republican party, they have nothing else to say. Most of its members believe that their taxes are going to support overweight mothers with a bunch of kids born out of wedlock. That image is a powerful one, but it is not strong enough to win them elections. An appeal to racist taxpayers is all that is left for a once progressive Republican Party.
