Newt Gingrich Praises President Obama on the Stimulus & Healthcare
Wild Thing's comment.....
This is VERY scary to hear him saying this.
This is something that Nick wrote last night. ...................
Newt sold out every campaign promise he made in 1994. Newt is the reason conservatism is the state it is in. If Newt had simply frozen spending as Speaker...then George W would have had to follow and we would not be even close to where we are now.(and Obama would not be POTUS) He is a leftist on health care, the environment, the list is long. He is a horrible manager and leader. Being a good communicator and strategist has nothing to do with being a leader. Look at Obama.
In 2003 Newt was the lead pimp/cheerleader for medicare D.He had been pushing for that for years.
As Speaker he was the one who allowed entitlements to get out of control when back then there was a chance of keeping it managed.
As Speaker, Newt whipped the caucus into supporting the creation of the SCHIP entitlement.
Newt has a record second to none among Republicans of advocating for, and or implementing,multi trillion dollar health care entitlements that piece by piece takeover the health care industry.
Newt killed the Reagan Revolution and he ushered in an era of HUGE government. (starting with him ILLEGALLY busting the spending Caps in 96,97,98). Newt takes Socialist positions on every spending issue.Newt makes Romney and George W seem like arch conservatives.

Outstanding point!!
Right now, it's either going to be Newt or Romney and I'm not happy with either of them. My gosh, I'm tired of holding my nose and pulling a lever. We need leaders, not politicians...proven leaders like Perry, Gindal, West.

Gingrich is an advocate of big govt. He especially likes big govt. if he can be a major player in it. A devious bastard, a liar, a narcissist. He is very articulate, but so were Elmer Gantry and Jim Jones. His failed marriages are an indicator of his moral character.
Either Gingrich or Romney will be our likely GOP candidate against obama. I like Romney about one half an iota better than Gingrich. Either is preferable to obama. However, either one would constantly make us conservatives constantly cringe as they make govt bigger, more costly and more intrusive. We are screwerd.
Buy more ammo!
