I'm sticking with Newt, the candidate for thinly disguised racism. He calls Obama the "food stamp" president and has put forth the idea that low income youth should be assigned some kind of civic employment, so they can learn about the work ethic, since no one in the projects is available as a role model.

I also heard him saying on NPR this morning that he favors jobs over work stamps. Oh, Newt you job creator, you. Just don't say anything to all the people you laid off at Bain Financial.

Sam, you and Colbert need to "non-coordinate" your SuperPac's.

Jon Stewart is my guru. Everything else I post is simply the meanderings of my brain off medication.

I guess he doesn't care about balancing the budget after all...

Oh, I don't think he actually means to PAY them. He never said anything about THAT. They need to know their place. Pay?

Except that a lot of low income youth don't have any role models who work. Finding a way to make working more profitable than not working seems a valid goal and Mitt worked for Bain not Newt.
