"If they have cable TV, they’re not poor."

I know this will be a shocker to you, but most of them don't. We're talking about people who don't have the means to relocate to another part of town, much less to another state. I doubt Newt or most on this board parroting him have ever actually set foot inside an actual housing project or a low-rent trailer park.

I know WORKING PEOPLE in this economy who don't have cable, phone, automobiles, or medical coverage. There is real poverty in this country the likes of which hasn't been seen since WWII.

But hey, Whig Newton's on a roll! Good luck selling that sorry sack to the US public next fall. I'm half-tempted to vote for him in the primaries just for the entertainment value of watching him get smacked-down in the general election.
