So, do you think the era of Reagan is over? A true leader does not imitate Ronald Reagan, he does what a true leader does: lead people by the power of moral authority. We don’t need candidates running around in Ronald Reagan Halloween costumes. We need a leader who Ronald Reagan was and Newt Gingrich is.
Newt believes that government does not need to be big to be better. He believes in good government and knows how to make government better. The others candidates have not done it in Washington DC. This is where the game is played and Newt has proved he can do it.
If I were using oil to heat my house, Newt would be the one to encourage switching to natural gas. That is what he was talking about.
I didn’t say the era of Reagan was over, Newt did.
“If I were using oil to heat my house, Newt would be the one to encourage switching to natural gas. That is what he was talking about.”
Bullcrap. I have a better idea. How about Newt let me make my own damn decisions in regards to how much heating oil I decide to use. It’s none of his or the government’s damn business to tell or “encourage” me to use a certain product. I’m smart enough to make my own decisions TYVM.
“Newt believes that government does not need to be big to be better. He believes in good government and knows how to make government better. The others candidates have not done it in Washington DC. This is where the game is played and Newt has proved he can do it.”
Good Government as you put it is an oxymoron. Beyond handling the inherent functions (defense, security, etc) there is NO such thing as Good Government. Newt’s philosophy is no different from the Rockefeller strategy that “Republicans can come up with ways to run the general welfare programs better and more efficiently”. Finding a way to keep the 300 pages of Obamacare he thinks is good will result in larger Government. Funding moon colonies will result in larger Government. Big Ideas = Bigger Government.
It does not take a rocket scientist to lead the United States. All you have to do to be successful in governement is lower taxes, cut spending, kick the a$$ of America’s enemeies when warranted, and let the private sector do it’s thing. Anything beyond this is simply asking for trouble and larger government.
