Doomed By The Press
As usual.
I'm working here in Charleston, SC. No Stephanie Miller or Randi Rhodes here, that's for sure. So, I'm listening to that vicious den of liberal bias, NPR, on the way to work, when on comes a segment that must have been close to ten minutes long, about Newt Gingrich. Yes, this is the same Newt Gingrich that said the following a few days ago:
So, taking poor kids out of science and math and English classes and making them wash the floors is going to give them " a chance to rise very rapidly." To rise, apparently, to the lofty janitorial profession, while their "betters" can stay in class. This is beyond conservative, it is sadistic cruelty designed deliberately to destroy any chance that they might have to compete in life.
And here's another recent gem from Newt:
Or to put it more clearly, the CBO won't abandon its data and support Newt's self-serving lies, so it is nothing but a pack of socialists- after all, only socialists care about data and meaningless things like that.
Well, this entire segment on NPR was devoted to pushing the ludicrous idea that Newt is actually a moderate who has stood up to conservatives over and over again. And if he is nominated, NPR, along with the rest of the mainstream "press" is going to continue presenting this corrupt,wingnut idiot as a perfectly reasonable alternative to the current administration, just like they did with George W. Bush.
The nation barely survived eight years of Bush. I guarantee you, it will not survive four years of Gingrich, at least not in any form recognizable to us now. But that means nothing to our bought-and-paid-for press.

"You say to somebody, you shouldn't go to work before you're what, 14, 16 years of age, fine. You're totally poor...Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school. The kids would actually do work, they would have cash, they would have pride in the schools, they'd begin the process of rising.
"You're going to see from me extraordinarily radical proposals to fundamentally change the culture of poverty in America and give people a chance to rise very rapidly."

"The Congressional Budget Office is a reactionary socialist institution which does not believe in economic growth, does not believe in innovation and does not believe in data that it has not internally generated"

And of course, he has joined his fellow Republicans in the fight against temporarily lowering the payroll tax, after all, rich people don't pay payroll taxes at all.
