Hovde: Too many sob stories in press about poor
Source: JSonline
Wisconsin businessman Eric Hovde has spent big bucks on TV and radio spots trying to garner voters' attention for his Republican bid for U.S. Senate.
But it didn't cost him a nickel to land on many people's radars with his videotaped comments last week at the Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce.
In his final remarks to the group, Hovde - a millionaire many times over - complained about the prevalence of news stories focusing on the travails of poor individuals during tough economic times.
Instead, the hedge fund manager said he would prefer more coverage of the national debt and deficit, according to a video posted at the liberal Huffington Post website (starting at 13:45):
"I see a reporter here. 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."

Not everyone can inherit daddy's real estate holdings, you disingenuous piece of crap. Or start out with the advantages you had from the early money and education. And most of the Republicans know that you will step on them to get what you want, they even talk about it publicly. A few seem to think you're an slimebag. And those are YOUR guys
Read your plan. More crony capitalism. With you as a crone.
