No one can say they don’t know what Newt Gingrich will do after his inauguration. He’s got big plans…
He pledged to have a full list of his proposed executive orders and presidential findings published online by October, so that every voter will know exactly what they’re getting. He wants every Republican candidate to campaign with him on a pledge to hit the next Congress in a monster jam session that repeals the job-killing centralized corruption of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley by the time he’s sworn in…
… and that’s just an appetizer.
Within two hours of plopping his Dilbert calendar and family photographs on the Resolute Desk, he’ll have signed an executive order to cashier every one of the Obama czars. Then he’ll sign one to approve the oil pipeline from Canada to Houston. By lunch, he’ll have moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Next up would be re-instituting Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City policy, to forbid spending money to subsidize abortion overseas…
By the time ex-President Obama “lands in Chicago,” he aims to have repealed “40 percent of Obama’s government.”

Thank you!
Here’s to Newt’s comfortable wilderness. He’s fearless.

Not being Obama is not enogh.
It happens that among the actual panel, I think that the best qualified to beat Obama is Newt Gingrich.
He has the fighting spirit to trash Obama and tear any of his arguments to pieces, he has the experience how to reform the government and administration, he has the best economic plan to redress America, and he is probably the only one he isn't running for personal glory, but because he profoundly thinks that the Republic is in lethal danger. This is Reagan's legacy in Newt's mind.
As he himself said, he was driven back to politics by the Supreme Court decision that "In God we trust" is "unconstitutional". He counts to fight against anyone who tries to pervert the Constitution.
He made mistakes in his 50-year-long presence in American politics, but WHO hasn't? However, there is a chasm between Newt and the other contenders. No one can hold him a candle as far as intelligence, knowledge and experience are concerned. I've made a through research into his acts, writings and "Contract for America 21st century" before I came to this conclusion.
Newt was criss-crossing the country, supporting the Republican candidates and inflaming the enthusiasm of Republican base, explaining the importance to stop Obama destroying America.

How much federal spending increased while Gingrich was Speaker of the House (1995-1999)?
Federal spending rose an average of 3.1% a year while he was Speaker - this is the lowest rate of spending growth over the last 30 years. Federal spending as a % of GDP fell from 21% to 18.5%, a whopping decline in 4 short years
Under Obama, a whopping 8.6% a year.

OOps, I s..d my tagline
"Whatever one might say about Newt, there is no denying the fact that he is the only candidate who had demonstrated with actual past accomplishments the attributes that our country gravely needs now.
And that is my main consideration in choosing our leader, not some nebulous idea like electability which implies voting according to how we think others will vote, which is ridiculous.
Some had pointed to the fact that Newt didn’t get on the ballot of some states as evidence he was ill-prepared to be president. But one can also argue that it shows his superior motive of wanting to do something only after seeing the dangerous course the nation is on, by jumping into the race even without a lot of resources. Compare that to Romney who for years wants to be president but who does not even see the problems the country is facing.
I hope Newt will do well in the rest of the primaries and become our nominee. If not, I can take great solace in my long-held belief that for better or worse (from our perspective), the outcomes of the primaries, as well as the general election, are not going to be decided by man. And until that final outcome is revealed, all man could/should do is work steadfastly toward his goal.
God bless you Newt and thank you for the courage in stepping up to the challenge when others aren’t."
Thank you VERY much!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I want Windflier to read this!
Thank you so much for finding and posting it
When in that Timeline did he join Pelosi for a cuddle on the couch?
When in that timeline did he support DEde Scozafawa?
When in that Timeline did he do work for Fannie and Freddie?
And just to see your head explode,What will he do after Santorum is sworn in as President?
“The left is not made up of friends and allies. It’s made up of competing parasites.”
~Grover Norquist
Sounds like just what I would call the Republican Establishment.
That’s pretty weak. One wonders when in your timeline you’ll post Santorum’s platform and explain how it’s better. Let me guess, Saint Rick’s platform is that he promises to kiss all the little babies, publish more family photos, and tell us over and over again that he’s the true conservative? LOL
Everyone's biggest fear is that of the big three still running,Newt,Mitt and Santorum they won't do the right thing. All this is based on past performance.Campaigning like this spells it out and it will fly everywhere.
Its not weak,I seem to remember when Newt endorsed Dede everyone of FreeRepublic wanted to lynch him and run him out of town on a rail,,Same with the couch incident,,How soon we forget...
And I believe I asked you to reply with something substantial. It seems the supporters of Saint Rick and Rick himself are only good at insulting the other candidates... not at offering solutions. How about you tell me how Saint Rick’s platform is better? Maybe you could start with explaining why Saint Rick voted against a flat tax, refuses to promote one now, and also bashed the fair tax? Maybe you could explain to me why your boy Rick doesn’t support a flat, fair corporate tax favoring ALL business, as opposed to just certain FAVORED businesses of his?
The vapid nature of “conservatives” these days continues to shock me, over and over again. Keep this s*** up and we’ll lose Newt the same way we lost Cain, and then we’ll be stuck with Saint Rick whose best quality is that he smiles real good and hugs his family a lot.
Thanks so much for mentioning this guy! He is supremely brilliant! Here’s a quick look at his take on what ozero is trying to do to the insurance compaines.

Not sure how you came up with “everyone” wanted to... Newt was a civilian, and he gave his reasons for what he was doing. A lot of people might have thought what he did was different from what they wanted, or would do under the same circumstances, but lynch? Over the top, and jumping the shark. One could have done a /sarc or a JMHO.
My only comment would be, I hope “everyone” is going to be willing to support the nominee, (fill in the blank) once the incendiary primary is over.
Good catch here. When Santorum’s voting record comes up its abysmal compared to Newt and Mitt is all too well known starting with Mittcare and it only gets worse.
Just which party did you want to govern the nation,since there but two choices.
BTTT..... Thank you for finding and posting. That needs to be disseminated far and wide.
He's an 'umble man, is Mr. Rick.
I haven't liked him from the start because I thought he reminded me of Jimmy Carter, sort of smug and condescending in his little blue sweater. Then I realized he really reminded me of Uriah Heep. I think he's a very ambitious man, not because of any ideas he may have, but because he really wants to be president and frankly, he'll do anything to get it.
Like Romney, Santorum appears to have been doing nothing recently but run for president. He virtually moved to Iowa and spent most of the year before the vote traveling around the state, for example. He has no positions that would distinguish him in any way, but ran on being a "good family man" and dragging his long-suffering family around with him to prove it.
See, THIS is the Newt who should have been campaigning since before Iowa! I knew he was there, but was hiding. I hope there’s enough time to make a difference!
LLS
Exactly. CPAC, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and the rest are now part of the problem, rather than part of the solution.
If you haven’t already, see my 71.
Right now however we have the chance to put in the best of the big three.
Your point about Newt only accentuates that he remains what I have been saying for 5 years here on this board hes still 80/20.
80% of the time he's brilliant the rest he's obviously not. Out of 300 million citizens these are our choices. These three. We have to live with that.
While I have plenty of issues with Grover, THAT is a keeper!
How true.
The biggest obstacle in the way of electing good leaders is greed and ignorance.
Either they are on the dole or they are too lazy to educate themselves.
Maybe by the close of Super Tuesday the perspective will become more clear.

Thanks for the post. It neatly sums up exactly why we should support Newt. Newt not only has a vision of what America should be but has a laid out a specific plan to get us there.
No other candidate has done that.
When in his timeline did he join Arlen Specter TWICE on his campaign trail, pretending that Arlen was “only” a “soft” pro-abortion?
When in that timeline he did meet the lobbyists on K Street, who gave him a payback in sonorous $$$$, after he lost his seat in the Senate?
When in that timeline did he strongly rally in support to Mitt Romney, calling him the “only true conservative”, even if that happened only two years after pro-life Romney signed Ted Kennedy’s healthcare mandate, known as Romneycare ?
When in that timeline did he cheat the Penn. taxpayers’ of $100,000?
When in that timeline did he support the idea that the government “has the obligation” to control the internet?
When in that timeline did he say that “The Pursuit of Happiness Harms America”, disavowing the Declaration of Independence?
No, I don’t want THAT flip-flopper Rick as president.
Oh Hes an egotistical man is mr Newt,With his gold diggin cheatin wife by his side.Every time I lissen to em,Iffin I close me eyes,he sounds like an old woman with a bad cases of the ooopsies he does,,Mayhaps he should cozy up on the couch with that other old woman miss Pelosi and take a bit of rest.
Morning, Onyx. I'm here - coffee in hand. Starting at the top.
“I’m ready to describe my 15 percent flat tax as the "Mitt Romney" flat tax,” Gingrich declared. “I’d like to bring everybody else down to Mitt’s rate, not try to bring him up to some other rate.”
"I have proposed an alternative flat tax that people could fill out where you could either keep the current system — this is what they do in Hong Kong — . . . with all of its deductions and all its paperwork, or you’d have a single page: ‘I earned this amount. I have this number of dependents. Here is 15 percent.’ My goal is to shrink the government to fit the revenue, not to raise the revenue to catch up with the government (overspending)."
At 15 percent, the rich will pay more than those less rich. Someone who earns $100,000 would pay $15,000 in taxes, and someone who makes $100 million would pay $15 million. Doing simple math confirms that $15 million is much more than $15,000. That IS “fair share.”
Deroy Murdock wrote, "Republican primary voters now face mixed messengers: Gingrich possesses a luggage carousel worth of personal baggage, a visionary tax plan, and the courage of Godzilla. Romney presents a mere tote bag of quirks, a tepid tax proposal, and the bravery of a hummingbird."
And that is my main consideration in choosing our leader, not some nebulous idea like electability..."
Exactly what I've been saying about Newt for months and months. He's not just talk. He has walked the walk. None of the other candidates can hold a candle to his record of accomplishment.
I don't know about others, but I've got a lot more trust in the promises of someone who's actually got a record of getting things done, than someone who doesn't.

“when Newt endorsed Dede...”
Newt has admitted it was a mistake to back Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee in the 2009 NY-23 special election.
Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate whom Scozzafava was running against, Doug Hoffman, recently remarked about Newt’s endorsement of his rival, “I would advise other conservative Republicans: Don’t hold this against him....Newt apologized to me for not endorsing me, and that’s water over the dam, I think.”
“He was very sincere in his apology,” said Hoffman. “He was given misinformation as to what this race was all about, and what the other candidate was all about. The people in this district, the sort of local leaders who had endorsed Scozzafava, fed him the wrong information.”

There’s so much misinformation flying around,a lot of stuff to sort through. Exactly how many delegates are needed to determine which candidate gets into the general election?
I thought of your straight away because you could have written those very words!
