Complain that there are too many poor people who aren't working

If Newt doesn't think selling drugs is hard work, he's completely out of touch with reality.

What the hell would he know he is from Sesame Street

Poor people are the root of all evil.

Or pimping, pimping is damn hard work.

"Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habit of working, and they have noone around them who works" Guess which GOP candidate said it? Guess

Any of them?

You'd think he would've learned how difficult it was from The Wire.

So we can vote for this guy and then it'll be okay.

Oh come the fark on. That's impossible to figure out without mousing over, any of them could have actually said that. This isn't fair.

Really poor children in poor neighborhoods often don't have role models readily available because their parents are constantly working or work nonstandard hours. Services jobs and retail suck for parents, but parents in poverty will take what's available.

But, this is GOP land we're talking about, where people only have 9-5 jobs, even the so called 'real American'.

I wonder how it feels to be that delusional?

most kids don't have work ethic because they are f*cking kids. the really funny thing is his prescription to the problem where he says that he'd make poor children clean bathrooms after school so they can learn how to do menial labor for money.

it is interesting though, because there are studies out there that show that you really need to socialize and give structure to kids as early as possible if you want higher success in adulthood. that said, most people walk away from those studies saying that more funding should be given to pre-schools, not child labor camps.

Gee whiz, Newt. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were spewing all this self-sabotaging nonsense in order to bolster support for another candidate from your party, making that person's crazy-talk seem suddenly not-as-crazy.

"Really rich guys in really corrupt cities have no habit of honesty. They have no one around them who isn't on the take."

Yep. There was a thread back in November about this (new window).

Navin R. Johnson

What do I win?

Dinki: Any of them?

GAT_00: Oh come the fark on. That's impossible to figure out without mousing over, any of them could have actually said that. This isn't fair.

My first thoughts exactly.

And there's the inherent dickishness that we all know and love rising from Newt. Totally Presidential material, ready to unite the country after their long national nightmare.

Good luck with that kids, because if THAT is what we send out to the national elections after the Primary, not only will we lose this election, but you can bet the brand will be tarnished enough after that we will create life long Democratic voters.

Well, Newt, then I guess they won't be doing a very good job when they take over cleaning up the schools they go to. Maybe the school system will still need that vastly over-paid union janitor you were complaining about.

Don't you have another wife to cheat on?

this is what the GOP thinks can win the white house away from Obama?

hubiestubert: Good luck with that kids, because if THAT is what we send out to the national elections after the Primary, not only will we lose this election, but you can bet the brand will be tarnished enough after that we will create life long Democratic voters.

You say that like there's a part of the brand that is as yet untarnished.

Weaver95: this is what the GOP thinks can win the white house away from Obama?

They've been whispering increasingly insane nonsense to themselves for so long they can't tell if the voices are coming from inside or outside their heads at this point.

My guess is they lost track of everyone else in a bid to out-extreme the other.

Yes, but have you seen the child labor camps? Some of them are really nice.

So tell us, Newt, about all the hard work you did while growing up as an Army brat, and those years you spent in France touring WWI historical sites? My heart bleeds at the blisters you must have worn on your feet.

"Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habit of working f*cking jobs available that don't equate to slave labor, or schools that prepare them for good ones."

Congratulations. That was actually the point Gingrich was building to. Had anyone bothered to take his remarks in context, they might have figured it out.

I mean, seriously. Newt Gingrich? Does anyone remember the 1990's for farks sake?
