Hillary stumping in South Dakota said we don’t need any more drilling, just more windmills, punishing of the oil companies and less gas usage.

Windmills? OMG!!! Windmills kill little birdies...thousands of them. The Democrats will have PETA and other animal rights groups all over their *ss. (Removing rose colored glasses...)

They dont care how you or I get around. They could give a rip about those living in Rural areas.

Its how communists work. “Do as I say and not as I do.” That is their motto.

"“Petition has been signed already.”

“Umm, not by me....”

That’s what just happened to me also."

Same thing happened here, too...

Newt was in congress how long?

He was in the US House of Reps from 1979 to 1999. He was Speaker of the House of Reps from 1995 to 1999.

While he was Speaker, the House and Senate passed a bill to open up ANWR, President Clinton vetoed it.

The site does not work, or is somehow screwed up. It is not accepting new signatures.

I’ve tried several times to sign the petition, but it doesn’t go through as “time out.”

At any rate, I’ve sent it on to others.

I like Newt Gingrich. He’s a straight talker.

With 535 idiots comprising our Congress, America is permanently mired.

The CEOs of our oil companies should re-assemble a forum in which they would interrogate these twits who would stall domestic drilling until China has succeeded in sucking up all the oil that lies off the coast of Florida and Americans will be paying $10 for a gallon of gas and $5 for a dozen eggs.

They have inhaled too many ethanol fumes.

What they continually prove is that they are absolutely incapable of 'running the show' and it doesn't matter which party is in power. Their arms must ache from so much 'reaching out.'

Did you like the spot he made with Nancy Pelosi for the pro-global warming ninnyhammers?

“While he was Speaker, the House and Senate passed a bill to open up ANWR, President Clinton vetoed it.”

This needs to be hung around the necks of every Dem running for office this year. Had we been able to drill in ANWAR and off the Continental Shelf back in the Clinton years, that oil would be available to us today and we would not be paying $4/gal. for gas.
A good bumper sticker for this election season would be:
$4/gal. gas...Blame the Democrats!

I expected to get some flack for my comment.

True to form.

He’s still a straight shooter, extremely well read, and one of the smartest men in politics, IMO.

Thank you for bringing some sanity & FACTS to the thread...yet again. LOL

I finally got my “investment” to go through. Perhaps the reason the site is so slow is because it is so busy right now...and perhaps it is being hacked..

"Green smiley-faced fascism."

That's as good a name for it as I've heard. Bears repeating.

Well, I just sent the newt.org site a “feedback” informing them that the site to sign the petition is not working.
