Like David Corn says, 1 guy with a videocamera took down the billionaire's campaign.

Historical.

1. IMMEDIATELY start hiring him as the BARTENDER for EVERY SINGLE UNION event in his area. (He's obviously poisoned the well for himself as a bartender to the gilded-class, at our expense. So, the least we can do is make sure his employment doesn't suffer for it.) And,

2. Run him in a local election, if he's interested. He's articulate, idealistic, and now...FAMOUS.

If 'Joe The Non-Plumber' can be run as a Republican Congressional candidate, THIS guy deserves to be run as a Federal Congressional candidate, or State Senate candidate at least.

He said he was hoping to go to law school and is now considering working with certain advocacy groups. He has his priorities in a good place and he is was spoken, thinks on his feet, knows which way the wind blows...

I'd vote for him if he ran in my district. And I humbly make note that he's also from the city of my birth...

I am grateful to him for listening to his conscience and acting on his convictions in way that he did. Bravo!

his girlfriend and said she deserves a lot of credit or something to that effect is a very lucky woman! I'm sure she must be a good one as well. It sounded as though he already had something sort of lined up that involved the other guest on the show (can't think of his name); though he did say he would like to be a lawyer. Damn, I wish our daughter had found someone like him instead of her current dipshit boyfriend.

I found it interesting that the Chinese factory statements Romney made seemed to bother Scott the most. I must not have been paying as much attention as I should have last year since I don't even remember the factory story.

WOW!!!! No, check that. He said, HOLY SHIT!! OMFG when the vid was on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, XYZ, German TV, Facebook, Youtube and everywhere in between. I know I would knowing I just showed the country who rMoney really was: a POS who didn't give a shit about workers, the poor, middle class, seniors, etc.

But I have a thought: Can we recruit this guy for a Governors office?? Ya never know? Another real person wanting to work for real Americans. Just like Senator Warren.

"The Underdog"

Picture yourself in the living room
Your pipe and slippers set out for you
I know you think that it ain't too far

But I hear the call of a lifetime ring
Felt the need to get up for it
Oh you cut out the middleman
Get free from the middleman

You got no time for the messenger,
Got no regard for the thing that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
That's why you will not survive!

I want to forget how conviction fits
But can I get out from under it?
Can I gut it out of me?
It can't all be wedding cake
It can't all be boiled away
I try but I can't let go of it
Can't let go of it,

Cause you don't talk to the water boy
And there's so much you could learn but you don't want to know,
You will not back up an inch ever,
That's why you will not survive,

The thing that I tell you now
It may not go over well
And it may not be photo-op
In the way that I spell it out

But you won't hear from the messenger,
Don't wanna know bout something that you don't understand,
You got no fear of the underdog,
That's why you will not survive! (Hey!)
