his own life. we are told we don t have it, but let s play the occupy wall street moment. go get a job right after you take a bath. of course he is referring to the occupy wall street folks, but he talked about his multiple marriages and personal struggles and failings as a man. he said to these people, go get a bath and get a job. i felt like he wanted sympathy or empathy with his struggles, but to turn and tell americans that same cruel thing there, what do we process about this man as a candidate? the problem for newt gingrich is he tends to enjoy being nasty newt. what he is doing to win over the voters now that he is topping the polls and he is the new front-runner of the month, he is trying to be humble and conciliatory? that is humble telling someone to get a bath and a job.
re-assert something as simple as saying to them, go get a job, right after you take a bath. do you agree with that? well, i think it expresses the attitude of a lot of these folks who somehow think money grows on trees and they re entitled to it and they don t understand how wealth is produced in this country. it s produced by people who work and who invest, who take a risk in a small business, for example. they hire people. and that produces wealth to the government that they can then take advantage of. but it doesn t seem to me that they have an adequate appreciation of how our free market system works to produce the wealth that s really made us the envy of the world. you re retiring from the senate. are you embarrassed at what congress has been unable to do on the toughest issues facing this country and this government? the frustration of the american people at our inability to tackle these tough problems is very real, and i absolutely agree with that frustration. it is th
all of the occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything. they take over a public park they didn t pay for. to go nearby to use bathrooms they didn t pay for. to beg for food from places they don t want to pay for. to obstruct those who are going to work to pay the taxes. now that is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country and why you need to re-assert something as simple as saying to them, go get a job, right after you take a bath. do you agree with that? well, i think it expresses the attitude of a lot of these folks who somehow think money grows on trees and they re entitled to it and they don t understand how wealth is produced in this country. it s produced by people who work and who invest, who take a risk in a small business, for example. they hire people. and that produces wealth to the government that they can then take advantage of. but it doesn t seem to me that they have an adequate appreciat
shannon bream or at anhqdc, we ll read some of your responses later. in just six weeks, iowans will make their pick for a republican challenger to president obama. iowa s outcome is crucial because it will shape the contest heading into new hampshire and then across the country. most of the candidates attended a religious forum in des moines last night but not mitt romney. peter doocy is live on that story. a lot of people criticizing romney saying it s a bad move to on his part. all the major players except for governor romney and governor huntsman got together in iowa last night for the thanksgiving family forum where really, nothing was off-limits to candidates. they laughed and they cried. here s some chatter about a very famous gaffe and occupy wall street. we don t need to cut education. we need those things taken care of at the state level. and the energy department, too. go get a job right after you take a bath.
telling the protesters to take a bath is a big applause line. there was a beginning hope of transcending blue lines with occupy i think people hoped at first and thought at first that the tea party vote would have some understanding that their original issue, which was the banks and wall street, they would relate somewhere and maybe they could see they fell off the wagon, and now they started and then forgot about wall street. wall street really is the enemy. that s what the election is about and country is all about. are we going to care about all about the rich and all about the folks on wall street that don t understand what it s like to get a job. gingrich can say, go get a job, but we don t have jobs.
