I’d have a “solution” if so many “conservatives” weren’t again wasting their substance chasing every false flag under the sun.
Of course you.
I appreciate your very level headed and logical approach. I tend to do have the same realistic outlook which stirs up those who fuel their support from a completely emotional/feelings driven platform.
That aside, reality is always difficult for some here who tend to deny the inevitable. Neither of us can help that faction, nor should we try to.
Well stated.
hahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha and ROFL.
Great analysis!
You illustrated almost exactly how this thing is apparently going. Some mistakenly call it “Vetting” when in reality, it is more like “Eviscerating” if the truth was ever ever acknowledged.
Until you can come up with an alternate solution I’ll not take you seriously. OWS has the same problems. No solutions.
The reason we like Newt is that he’s the smartest guy in the room - ANY room.
(Except maybe a room full of physicists or rocket scientists. Which are actually pretty scary places...)
Problem is, he’s not trustworthy. Being trustworthy is better than being smart.
His attacks on journalists during the debates have really helped him. I can’t understand how the other candidates have missed this and why they don’t do the same thing. I would watch the debates if I knew they would.
Gingrich's "solutions" amount to everything solid diluted down to nothing.
I hate that silly, trite word. It doesn't really mean anything.
You seem to forget that even as Speaker, Newt only had one vote in Congress. If a bill went down to defeat, you have to blame a combination of Democrats and Republicans.
These are just some items that passed:
Eliminating the “marriage penalty”
Cutting Capital Gains taxes
Balancing the Federal Budget
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997
The first GOP majorities in Congress in generations
Welfare Reform
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act
The Taking Back Our Streets Act
The American Dream Restoration Act
The National Security Restoration Act
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (Tort Reform)
Family Reinforcement Act
The House impeached Bill Clinton
Newt cut taxes and balanced the budget. He instituted tort reform as well as getting Clinton to sign Welfare Reform. Newt led the Republican Revolution and under his leadership the Republicans took Congress for the first time in 40 years. Newt was not a failure as Speaker as many seem to imply.
Additionally, Newt helped write DOMA. Newt says he will reinstate DADT, Cain says he will not. Newt says he will abolish the 9th Circuit Court of Clowns and has found historical precedent to do so.
Obviously not to you. If you don’t have the guts to state who you support.
Know what else? It occurs to me that with the “stick it in your ear!” mind-set of some posters, what would happen if a Presidential candidate were elected and operated the same way? With disregard and disdain for those with whom he/she disagrees, seeking neither the education nor the persuasion of others?
You know—operated over them, around them, under them, but not with them. Refusing to be President of all the nation, with a large number simply feeling ignored and unheard. How would the ignored feel? In what way would a positive national agenda ever get agreed upon, much less implemented?
Oh, wait . . . we have that already in Washington, and it doesn’t seem to please anyone (them or us). Of course, I forgot: “Get over it—WE won”.
If I saw a candidate that lives up to the first, most important, principles of this republic, I’d tell you. But I don’t. Live with it.
Then you remain irrelevant to the process as far as I can tell.
So, Republican Newt Gingrich supported the Republican candidate for office. Did he tell her to drop out of the race and throw her support to the Democrats? I place the blame for this loss with Dede and the RNC, not Newt.
If the man on the binoculars spots the iceberg, tells the crew and the passengers, and they choose to ignore him, continuing on their destructive course, I guess you could say he is "irrelevant to the process," you betcha.
Of course you do.
Good reminder list ... thanx
