GLENN: Let me tell you a story about a guy with down's syndrome, works at a grocery store. He's a bagger, decided he wanted to be the best bagger. He decided he wanted to leave people with a little something. So he and his dad every night would type out on his computer. He would find a phrase, little thought of the day that was happen and his dad would type it out for him and print a bunch of them. Then he would cut them out and every day with your bag of groceries he would put that happy thought of the day in there. Well, before you knew it everybody was standing in his line. One of the cashiers would say, I can help you over here. And they would say, no, I want to be in his line. Be the best at whatever it is that you're doing. Be the best. Enjoy the free education. You don't use the free education. You get now and we want -- we want to give people more? Make them work for it. Don't have other people pay for your stupidity. You spill hot coffee on your lap? Well, then you're just too dumb to drink hot coffee now, aren't you? You got yourself into an interest-only loan? Unless the bank did something and lied to you, you're too stupid to have a house. You live in a hurricane zone? Get insurance or don't buy the house. I ain't paying for it every time your house is blown down. You live in a hurricane zone. There's a reason that no one will insure you there. Why should I? If a capitalist society won't insure your house, if a company says I can't make money insuring that house because I'm guaranteed to lose money, because this house is guaranteed to blow down, why should I, somebody who lives in another part of the country, somebody who says I'm not that dumb; I'm not going to build my house on the side of a hill in California; I'm just not that stupid.

Why should I pay for it? Since when, since when did we have to carry lazy and stupid people around? The lazy and stupid people are killing us. Let them be lazy. Let them be stupid. For those who cannot help themselves, we will help. For those who will not help themselves, I got no time for you, jack. I told my wife last night, I got four kids. I don't know about you. I don't know how many kids you have. You might have one, you might have 19. One is one, two is 20. Four, they surround you! There's no escaping. It's like cowboys and Indians. All of a sudden you're surrounded. And every single one of them has a different issue that they're dealing with that I had no idea how to fix.
Can I tell you something? The world's problems are a lot easier for me than teenagers. I can tell you the things that we should be doing as a country. I can tell you the things that we should be doing as consumers, as an economy. I can't tell you who to vote for and I can't tell you how to parent. I have no idea. Talking to my wife last night, I said every day this weekend it has been a crisis with one of the kids and something that is ripped me apart inside, I don't know how to help. I've been reading so much, trying to figure out how to be a better parent and I'll bet you you are the same way. You are struggling to keep your head above water. I'm blessed enough to be able to have the financial resources where I'm not worried about that as well but most are. So you've got your own kids to worry about. You are fighting to keep your own kids' heads above water. You are trying to desperately to get your kids to value a dollar, to value hard work, to value this country. You are laying awake at night thinking about it, worrying about it, worrying about what their life is going to be like, and the Government wants me to take on other people who have no intention of working, who have dropped out of high school because they just weren't interested? I'm paying for your healthcare? I'm paying for your unemployment, I'm paying for your food stamps? I don't think so. I'm sorry. I got no time for you.
Now, where is the candidate that will say that? Where is the candidate that will speak to the hard working American people? And I don't mean this bull crap that comes out of the mouth of Mr. "I've got 17 acres all clear cut but I care about the environment" John Edwards. Where is the person that will speak in my grandfather's voice? Where was the person that used to be a Democrat that said I believe in country, I believe in God, and I believe in hard work? I don't believe in handouts. I believe in hand-ups and it makes me a better person as an individual to help somebody up myself. I'm not gonna call somebody in Washington. Where is that candidate? Because I believe that's the candidate that America is looking for and unfortunately I believe that's the candidate that just is not on the roster, at least for the next four years.
