If you are for paychecks you are with us, and if you are for food stamps you are with Barack Obama. #withnewt

This sounds like it could be a fun game.

If you are for serial adultery, you are with Newt. If you are for honoring your marriage vows, you are with Barack Obama.

If you are for ditching your wife when she gets gravely ill, you are with Newt. If you are for staying with your wife forever, you are with Barack Obama.

Etc., etc...

1. The idea that the GOP is "for paychecks" makes me laugh and laugh....

2. If you are for adultery, you are with Newt. If you are for traditional marriage, you are with Obama

3. If you think passive income should be tax free, you are with Newt and the GOP.

4. Did you tweet back anything?

I have a twitter account but have never used it. Not really sure how the whole thing works. I would love to follow this, though, if people start tweeting back the kind of things you've suggested. What fun!

8. Yes, I tweeted back my "serial adultery" line.

I'm at @BoloBoffin there.

5. If you are for yourself being starved, you are with Newt

if you are for eating, you are with Obama. The idea that Newt or any other Republican gives two hoots in a rain barrel about the working class in this country getting paychecks is utterly ludicrous. They care about huge bonus checks for executives, checks from rich people for campaigning, and checks from investment income for rich people who sit around and do nothing for it. But paychecks for working people? HA. What a sick joke.

6. If you are for reality you are with Obama

If you are for batshit schizo bizarro-world alt-dimension parallel reality, with Gingrich

7. Keep digging, Noot.

Just keep digging.

9. Can't one be for both paychecks AND food stamps?

I'm all for job creation(something Repukes seem to know nothing about) but I'm also for EBT/SNAP assistance for those who cannot afford food. What would Newt have these people do, starve?!?!

I think the food stamp program be expanded as much as possible. The unemployed, the underemployed, and even middle-class families who have trouble making ends meet should get SNAP assistance. No one should have to choose between paying their rent and buying food for their family.

11. For Newt AND Barack Obama? Callista doesn't care...

Of course you can. You have shown perfectly why Newt's dichotomy is a false one.

14. The one-percenters can't wrap their greedy little minds around that.

No one should have to choose between paying their rent and buying food for their family.

It simpy does not compute. I mean, if you don't make enough money to pay rent and buy food, just get another job or a better paying one! Problem solved.

10. If you are for HUGE giveaways to the top 1% and Transnational monopolies, and completely screw the

the poor and middle class--then you are with Newt. If you want to
support working people and create a a vibrant economy that works for
ALL the american people--then vote for Obama! It's that simple.

12. If you are a fan of the alternate history genre fiction, particularly a series

fantasizing about the South winning the Civil War, you are with Newt:

13. He's a real smarta$$.

Lots of people with paychecks are relying on food stamps, especially since a lot paychecks don't cover even the basic, these days.

Probably more than a few are repugs, too.

Wonder how they feel about Newt's slap at them.

Repugs like making non- wealthy Americans feel like losers, don't they?

Why is that, I wonder?

15. Newt has already said he's going to fire two whole classes of people

Specifically, unionized janitors in schools (which is why he wants to hire 10-year-olds to clean schools) and government employees who are liberal.

Apparently all the people Newt intends to fire are going to be reduced to digging through the dumpsters behind supermarkets.
