Newt will support anyone who gives him money.
Ethanol is one of the biggest scams going.
Please don’t trust him. Don’t be stupid.
.
To me there’s a huge difference between subsidizing infrastructure projects like highways, bridges, cannals, etc. and subsidizing the making of a product.
Another reason I don’t care for Newt.
1.) Experiment sure, but not as a base fuel, as a Supplement, see no. 2
2.) Check out "Ethanol Boosting Technologies out of Cambridge Mass and their Direct Injection Supplemental system. It turns a V6 into a Diesel Torquing Monster Motor Replacement. If it truly works, it is amazing, their maybe some cost issues for now.
3.) We are using the wrong feedstock, not corn!
And don't forget anti-gun (he wanted gun owners to register their thumbprints with the government).
blech!
ethanol? C’mon man!
Newt should put out bumper stickers that say “Vote for Newt-the best President money can buy”.
he told Beck. “The Erie Canal was built that way.”
I’m going to have to write up vanity explaining just how bad the Erie Canal was.
Went way over budget
Had a series of management changes due to mismanagement
Took eight years
Was technologically obsolete before it was completed due to the railroad
I doubt Newt could have come up with a worse example of how government can do good with our money.
It makes one wonder what kind of history lecture Freddie Mac got for its $1.5million paid to Speaker Moonbeam.
That is the final nail in Newt’s coffin for me.
For the first time in my life, it looks like I’m staying home on election day.
This has been explained by Newt. He does not support ethanol because it is cost effective energy. He supports ethanol because of national security implications.
He wants America totally weaned from foreign oil that does nothing except provide power and wealth to enemies who hate us.
The cost of keeping armies and navies and air force wings in the Middle East or close by the Middle East is enormous. Any energy we produce makes that military expenditure grow smaller.
The security we gain goes beyond the value of a BTU of energy.
State-controlled media will choose our candidate. Again.
Oh lookie.
A Gingrich bashing thread.
That’s a change. Not.
Yes, ethanol subsidies are at the top of EVERY voter’s list of concerns. And yes, radical left sites like TPM are where ALL conservatives should get information and advice on which GOP candidate they should support or not support. /sarc
Come on - 8 billion a year to burn up 40% of our corn crop in order to water down our gasoline is a GREAT INVESTMENT (in the political future of anyone running for office in or around the Corn belt).
Bachmann supports ethanol subsidies, Perry supports solar and wind subsidies (not sure if he supports ethanol).
Yes, let us useful idiots at Free Republic ensure a Romney candidacy, and therefore another four years of 0bama.
Idiots.
We have three crappy options: Mitt, Newt, Barry. You choose which ones to attack. Idiots are going to attack Newt, now that Cain is gone and Palin didn’t enter the race. And then we get Mitt. Great. Idiots.
