then we should "vote for the other guy". So basically we are freeloaders... This from the biggest freeloader of all time. It's that projection again.

I listened to it on CNN. His comments on kids needing a good education are stating something noone would disagree with - but he has also not seen a problem with decreasing the number of teachers. This clearly will not help education.

He also spoke of the "fact" that the way to greatly reduce poverty is for no one to have a child before marriage, not complete high school and not to marry before they are 21. If he were serious, he would not defund planned parenthood!
