Newt backed "something" in the 1990s and he also talked about "something" in the 1990s. Now, was it the violation of the 13th amendment, and the excessive fines clause?

He and other people mention all sorts of things long before they get fully talked out and the weak points found.

Newt talks first and debates later. At the moment what you are doing is proving that we don't want any candidates who fail to parse every word without reference to a Conservative poll.

Frankly, Newt is just too noisy for some of you.

Does he always agree with me? Hardly. But then again, none of the current crop of candidates are sufficiently Conservative for my taste, so from my point of view we are always talking about people who are, at most, Second-Rate.

Understand?

What I understand is that you are squirming all around the carpet like a dog with an itchy back, and you have gone from Gregory Mind Control thesis to defend Newt, to a new tack: Newt talks before he thinks.

I also call Nonsense on your new thesis. Newt has been around a long time, and he knows what to expect from these shows. I take him at his word, that he backs an individual mandate now, and has from the 1990's.

I will not permit a pass for Newt on this one. Not on MY watch.
