Freepers go back and forth like a ping pong game between Newt and Rick.
Bottom line is money. Mitt has it, they don’t.
Sad but true.
Foster Friess is helping Santorum but not sure by how much. I heard that Adelson cut off Newt.
My concern is that he will find it difficult to become respected and feared by Islamic extremists, or even Liberal extremists, for that matter.
I find that Newt Gingrich is in tune with my perception of both; Islamic and Liberal extremism. He also appears to be on my wavelength relating to media. I've neither watched tv nor read newspapers in over a decade because I see modern journalism, and even entertainment, as overly political and completely out of touch with reality.
Like him, I loved Isaac Asimov; especially the entire 'Foundation' series, starting from the 'The Pebble in the Sky' and 'The Caves of Steel.' If he's familiar with these books, he knows the phrase 'violence is the last refuge of the incompetent,' and he should also have a good sense of a larger picture and the importance of the details.
Personally, I think the most obvious answer to over-crowding is not abortion or population control, but simply expansion into space. And I think it's a safety issue, since we are all 'eggs-in-one-basket.'
A renewed space-race, especially a private-sector driven one, would do wonders for our global economy and shift attention from politics back to science and successful human activity.
There are already races with prizes in the space industry and I think re-vitalizing NASA by giving them a role in these races (offering prizes instead of wasting budgets on bureaucracy and 'Muslim outreach') our industry could have an opportunity to become the lean, mean, sleek machine our government keeps it from being.
Some people, I think, think Gingrich is too much of a dreamer because he has such big plans, after all, a permanent base on the moon is so "unrealistic." But I think dreams and visions should be a requirement of the Presidency; but healthy dreams and visions, not pathological like the won's.
Gingrich also appears to have a healthy grasp of the situation in the Middle East, and I particularly enjoy listening to him discuss issues relating to Israel. I suspect he will do a good job of restoring ties to all of our allied countries the won dissed, especially Britain.
Like he said, "We want to ensure that no future president ever again bows to a Saudi King, period."
It doesn’t matter what this guy thinks. The voters do the deciding.
