"New York city could hire 30 child janitors for what they pay one union janitor."

(Newt was the clear big winner of the debate, getting a huge standing ovation for a sustained racist rant about food-stamps and the need to put black children to work as janitors.)

In related news: Mitt Romney would veto the Dream Act "because I think we should follow the law." (He seems to think that current immigration law was carved on gold plates by an angel or something while a newly passed law is just some shit congress did.)

Amusingly, Romney was booed for saying he would have sgned the NDAA. He did get applause for saying he doesn't support treason. A bold stance. He later attacked Obama for cutting Medicare and then endorsed the Ryan plan... all in one comment. (whiplash!)

Meanwhile: Ron Paul really hurt himself in SC by arguing that we shouldn't have summarily killed Osama Bin Laden and was then booed even more for suggesting we should follow the Golden Rule. He did get a little applause for a rather emotional (almost pathetic, really) plea to not start a war with Iran, and an even more pathetic plea to not give up on our justice system as able to try terrorists.

Santorum says we need to remove Assad who is propped up by Obama... but not by actually doing anything. Despite that, Santorum did quite well, kicking the shit out of Mittens.

Perry says we should think about booting Turkey out of NATO, then suggested that Ron Paul belongs on the gong show, then launched into a defense of pissing on war dead and attacking Panetta for calling the piss party "dispicable," thereby showing "disdain for America." (The piss republic, I guess.) Perry also wants a constutional amendment to make Congress part-time. He insists that this step would somehow improve the housing market. (I'm not kidding.)

Good time had by all.

1. And if Newt had his way ...

he would have those 37 children doing the work of a hundred adult janitors if he could get them replaced.

2. Get a job.............

Just don't make to much or I'll bust your Union!

Just the site of this man...disgusts me. Him and his wife with their 800.00 hairdo's.
They look like Leggo heads.

3. Can you source that quote?

Can you source that quote?

It'd really be helpful if I could send that source to my father in law who thinks Newt is "for the working man"

6. Hey Newt, in China, you can get 12 years in jail for trying to organize

a union, sounds like your kind of place. Can't wait for you to leave.

7. No need to panic.

Think of it this way, he's just a centrist moderate - in a hurry.

[cthulu2016]

12. ouch!

[Starry Messenger]

9. Not a real shocker.

He's been helping Arne Duncan break the teachers' unions. What a treat to see bipartisanship in all its true colors!

[XemaSab]

11. Sounds like he's proposing to pay these kids 50 cents an hour

If a kid can make $10 an hour babysitting, why make 1/20th of that cleaning gum off desks?

[Javaman]

13. Yeah, breaking the unions with child labor...

that's a fucking winning strategy.
