John Elway: "I don't believe in safety nets."

Check it out...here's what he said in response to Chris Wallace's question, "Why are you a Republican?"

“Well, those are what my beliefs are. I believe you know as a country that we are given the opportunity to succeed or not succeed. And, I think for us to be able to, I don’t believe in safety nets, obviously we have to have some kind of safety nets, but I think… My philosophy is when you’re given the opportunity you take advantage of that and I think that’s when you get the best out of people.”

Ha! Elway grew up in a wealthy family with all the trappings of privilege that you can imagine. He went to elite schools and played for Stanford. He never would have had the success he had without that cushy upbringing...N-E-V-E-R!

Yet Elway would deny someone else who did not have the fortune he did.

What an ass. I'm even happier now that the Seahawks won.
