Some of you keep trying to frame this as a case where Newt suggested that everyone clean up. He didn't. He specifically targeted the children of the poor, said they had no work ethic, and advocated replacing union janitors with children because child labor laws are "stupid."

Why do you keep trying to rewrite Newt's arguments into something more benign?


Career politician is an asshole, water is wet.

I'll pose the same question I did to bikinisquad3000, would you still object to the idea of having the children clean (and getting paid to do so) if the income issue were removed from the equation?
