Another member of the party of heartless wonders shows us why the Republican Party will not be winning any awards for compassion any time soon. This time it’s from some jerk named Eric Hovde running for a senate seat in Wisconsin. Hovde bitches about the press writing too many “sob” stories on the poor and those suffering through the recession.
I see a reporter here,” he said. “I just pray that you start writing about these issues. I just pray. Stop always writing about, ‘Oh, the person couldn’t get, you know, their food stamps or this or that.’ You know, I saw something the other day — it’s like, another sob story, and I’m like, ‘But what about what’s happening to the country and the country as a whole?’ That’s going to devastate everybody.
Right. Better for the press, I imagine, to focus on how the downtrodden 1 percenters are paying too much in taxes than to bother to write about families struggling to stay afloat in the worst recession of their lifetime…much of it due to Hovde’s own political party.
Every time you think Republican politicians have hit rock-bottom in terms of their sliminess and disregard for the poor and middle-class, they find a way to surprise you. Scumbags indeed.
Does Eric Hovde think he is a valley girl? Who talks like that? It sounds to me as if he is just another T-party dud or maybe a Romneyite. I bet Hovde will stand by what he said whether he knows what he said or not.
Hovde might make a good running mate for Mitt, since Mitt won’t give any details on policy and it sounds like Hovde wouldn’t understand details if he heard them. Mitt did say he wanted someone simpatico to run with him.
Republicans clump all poor people together,,, To them they are all minorities,,, But those good white folks living in trailer parks collecting welfare have just fallen on hard times because of the liberal agenda!
Republican’s expertise is in making people poor not in dealing with them.

If poverty is not discussed in the media……..they can pretend it doesn’t exist.
