I named my weinerdog after Newt over 17 years ago because I was a big fan of Newt back then. Unfortunately, Newt has done a few things over the years that have soured my enthusiasm for him. The last straw was the commercial with him sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi saying that the one thing that they could agree on was global warming and the solutions proposed by former Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection. I almost renamed my dog.
This commercial came out after the climategate scandle. It came out after Al Gore's documentary was thoroughly debunked. It came out after Michael Mann's “Hockey Stick Graph” was shown to be based on faulty calculations. It was after the CRU’s Phil Jones was forced to admit that there was had been no statistically significant warming in over ten years. The solutions proposed by Gore's group were nothing but thinly veiled schemes for the government to take more money and power from the people. If Newt is so smart how could he have lent his support to Al Gore and his people?
I understand..but these are very small things in the whole scheme of it. He is a very serious man. We need someone of stature...Someone we and the world can look up to. I am not saying Cain isn’t a good man...but he’s untested. RIght now I am on the Gingrich/Cain Express...I think that would be an incredible team. I am sure Newt will be asked that question, hell..I’ll ask it, and unlike Perry, he’s smart enough to already have an explanation and be prepared. I’m going to go find his stand today on Global Warming..I’ll get back to ya!!!
