(2,615 posts)Had the decency to admit to his bullshit. That was his only redeeming quality. Gingrich has none.

Some people vote Republican without thinking. We need to try to make them think.

(9,487 posts)"I got my stack so hands off Jack! Oh, and I want yours as well!" is a bit more accurate, don't you think?

(1,253 posts)They happen to hoard money, instead of, say, clothes or magazines.
Either way, its an illness.
Plus, money hoarders have a co-morbidity of narcissism and/or anti-social personality disorder

I guess if one changes one's name enough times one can escape one's food stamp past.

(2,751 posts)That his family never relied on government assistance?
Of course, repubs lie as easy as breathing, so its hard to know if they even know what truth is.

From his debate with Gov Walz....
First of all, thanks, Governor. Thanks to CBS for hosting the debate. And thanks most importantly to the American people who are watching this evening and caring enough about this country to pay attention to this vice presidential debate. I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are. I was raised in a working class family. My mother required food assistance for periods of her life. My grandmother required Social Security help to raise me. And she raised me in part because my own mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life. I went to college on the GI bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq. And so I stand here asking to be your Vice President with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams....

(13,315 posts)But I live on the West Coast, in a community with a mix of immigrants from all across the globe. I suppose that if I lived in a community of RW Cuban immigrants I would feel differently. Here the immigrants all want to help each other. They are proud to be American, even in this day of "I got mine so fork you".
