Trust me.. he is far from my first choice. It’s getting pretty sad when we are constantly forced to support the least worse of all evils.
Is this the best we can do?
If there’s ever a year where something unexpected could happen, this would be it.
That said, it sure seems like the Newt phenom took the wind out of the sails of the Tea Party movement, at least in terms of how it was shaping the debate and the voter intensity.
I have said from the beginning that any candidate who is not completely focused on massive tax reform (and the follow-on spending cuts/entitlement reform) is simply not addressing our country’s survival.
Yes, Newt has a plan out there, but no one is talking about it — it hasn’t captured anyone’s imagination — and, to be honest, I get the sense it’s viewed as the same-old, same-old. Sort of like the “plan” to cut spending by “rooting out fraud, waste and abuse” — blah blah blah.
