Ah, the racist dog-whistle…but Romney said he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about poor people. Gingrich is barking up the wrong tree on this one.

That’s not what Romney said, though. He did say “poor people have a safety net to help them out, and if it gets holes it it I’ll work to fix them”. Newt Gingrich attacked Mitt Romney solely for supporting the existence of functional societal safety net programs. Newt’s policy seems to be: “All those who accept food stamps do so because they prefer food stamps to working for a living. Anyone who disagrees with my view is an Un-American Socialist!” His words were ugly, dishonest and delivered with malice aforethought (this applies to both his words for Romney and his words for Obama, to be clear).
