27. Geez, when is "I think America VALUES puppy-shooting" next?

Every statement this corpulent, scrunch-faced, beady-eyed philandering turd makes only endears me to him more.

Newt, there's a REASON these countries don't embrace our ever-sacred and stupid Puritan/Protestant work ethic Americans wear on their sleeves: it's because they value PEOPLE over PROFIT and want their PEOPLE to live longer, not die at their desks/stations (which I've witnessed two people DO, thanks).

Nice to know that we have presidential candidates that take the time to insult other nations for the way they do things rather than (God Forbid LEARN something from them) concentrate on the problems in AMERICA that his party had a giant hand in creating.

Oh, and if you read further (not that it's really necessary), he goes on to mention the coordinated talking point "Obama Depression". Uh, Newt? Calling it "Obama"s depression is about as large a leap in logic as blaming the guy who happened to walk by the just-robbed appliance store for the crime. Your party's 30-year whiskey throttle bullshit way of economics created this crapcake. You subscribed hook, line and sinker to the worst parts of Milton Friedman's theories . . . just like the 70s Latin American dictators did before us. Just because you refuse to own up to it is not President Obama's or our problem . . . it's YOURS.
