Personally, I don't think Gingrich is a racist either - but I think he essentially sold his soul by trying to appeal to racist voters, particularly in the south.

Newt Gingrich is by no means a stupid man, but he adopts its ideas to pander to his most extreme constituency.
And I too would tell that to your face. :P

Actually Gingrich meant every word he said, it's just liberals like to falsely accuse people on the right of being racist.

Btw, why did you bring up that video of kids in Mexico City, if you knew that Mexico is not part of the United States... Newt was in a Presidential Primary in order to potentially be the President of the United States, not the President of Mexico...

Why hasn't Gingrich brought up rural, white poor kids needing a work ethic or proper role models? Could it be that their parents were part of the constituency he was trying to gain, and so he chose to demonize "ghetto" inner city blacks?

Those kids often get jobs or work on the farm, or something of that nature. In all honesty you don't see quite as much poverty in rural areas, furthermore you do realize people hunt deer for more than simply sport you know...

That's because such work is available to rural poor white kids. The same can't be said about urban areas, where business often fled when blacks arrived, or if they stayed, they weren't plentiful enough to employ a significant number of the local people. And that's not taking in to account of how such businesses hire from outside the neighborhood. So it can't be argued that poor urban areas are flooded with jobs nobody wants. And before you state that poor urban dwellers could just seek employment outside of the inner city, the fact of the matter is, a great deal of them don't own cars, and anyone who has ever used public transportation know it's slow and that bus routes are being cut by conservative politicians for the sake of "cutting waste."
A big part of joblessness among the poor is due to something Gingrich or no Republican will ever owe up to - - the failure of capitalism to help the poorest of us.

Actually it has more to do with the difference in labor laws, kids can work on a farm for instance...

Then there is the fact one would be trying to undo a problem that is 40 to 50 years in the making. This isn't something that can be solved overnight, but from a longterm standpoint, giving kids in the inner city the opportunity to have real jobs such as what Newt Gingrich suggested would start getting things moving in the right direction. If there is a new emphasis on family structure where kids have a dad and a mom, that would also help things get better.

In all honesty, this is something that took decades to create the problem, and it will be at least an entire generation before the damage is undone. I also fail to see how a kid having a part time job and earning money is a bad thing.

When did I ever say it was a bad thing for kids to earn money from a part time job? The fact is, there has to be businesses available to hire said kids in the first place, and as I said in my last post, a great many businesses had fled urban areas a long time ago, or hire from the outside.
And Gingrich's scheme to fire all the unionized janitors and replace them with kids is nothing but a hard hearted means of breaking organized labor, and would create more unemployed.

He said fire some of the janitors, not all of the janitors... There is work that kids wouldn't be allowed to do because it violates child labor laws, and Newt wasn't referring to anything that could potentially endanger the child's physical safety.

I don't recall saying anything about child endangerment - - but now that you've brought it up...
As far as firing just some janitors - make that most janitors, leaving only a master janitor per school. Those are still jobs lost to adults who often have dependents.

Considering some janitors make over $100k a year easily, it would probably only take firing 1 janitor to hire 30 kids, just make the income the children make from the job tax-exempt (which also means that welfare can't argue that they should cut money because tax-exempt means the child doesn't need to report it nor can they be penalized for the income). I think that kids under 18 shouldn't have to pay income taxes personally because they are too young to vote. While they might still get money from government because they are in poverty, they are earning their own spending money and learn the value of holding a job.

I don't want them spending their entire life as janitors, and Newt wasn't advocating that either. After they graduate high school, I would think they are more likely to go on to college and take college seriously. Then they are likely to end up having a degree and getting a better job, then maybe some day owning their own business. In other words break the cycle of poverty.

This would seem to be the goal of the Repugnican Party--get rid of teachers, close schools, get children off of the government dole, stop giving them food. The ultimate wet dream: poor children in the USA living in garbage dumps, as happens to many poor children in Mexico and in other parts of the world.

Revival? It has always been there, it just waxes and wanes depending on who is in charge.

This, only I think all that waxes and wanes is the voicing of it. It's always there even when the racists are behaving better because it's unpopular or there's no good excuse to speak out. But right now we have the oh so tempting excuse of a black US Pres to criticize. It's easy to get away with voicing hatred at a politician, and it's lovely for the racists that he's black. They don't even have to use any racial words to express their bile or be told they're behaving badly because, hey, doesn't the president always get blasted?

But you can feel that it's more than just criticism of the president. If you really listen, it's not the same as for, say, Clinton. It's done without any good reason, about no specific policy or act on his part - just Obama this and Obama that. With a red face and words shouted in all caps or spewed out with obscenities and not about anything specific they think he's done. And that whole "he's a Muslim in disguise" and birther baloney. It's kind of scary, I think.

As of yet, they shouldn't have to pay income tax, as they probably wouldn't make that much.
Actually, though, it's Republicans who want to tax those of us who don't make enough to pay income tax. That would include those kids.
