Gingrich "Obama Food stamp President" brings crowd to feet.

Gingrich- "more people have been put on food stamps by Barrack Obama than any President in US history."............ "only the elites despise earning money"

I guess it doesnt count that Obama took over at the depth of the crash of job losses by Bush when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month and 5 million jobs lost Bush's last year, huh Newtsy?

So simple, even a Republican voter can understand the analogy. I'd suggest changing the wording from "caught" to "stiffed" - seems more apropos.

We expect intellectual honesty from someone who abandoned his wife as she lay bedridden with cancer?

In that audience, it's right up there with a lead singer yelling, "We love you, <<insert current tour city name here>>!"

The morans in the audience are just glad to find someone on stage as racist as they are, but don't dare call them that. "Conservative" works just fine thank you.

These people won't be happy until there are men outside the mall asking to shine their shoes for a quarter so they can spit on the sidewalk in front of them. Those were the good old days for conservatives.

And I would choose the company of any one of them over a thousand sleazebags like Gingrich.

I wouldn't piss on that arrogant classist asshole if he was on fire.

lose their jobs and the Republican solution would be to tell these Americans to eat shit and die rather than provide them with food stamps.
