Did the federal government shrink or grow under Newt’s leadership?
Newt worked to balance the budget. Mission accomplished.
Now now, you know very well that there is no place for facts in this argument. Emotion is king here, and you must be made to believe that the world is going to end if you don't support McNewt. Never mind his leaving office in disgrace after only four years as Speaker. Never mind his lies about balancing the budget. Never mind that income tax rates remained higher under his leadership than they are today. Never mind his policy positions on using the power of government to control CO2 emissions. Forget his statements about amnesty for illegals. And pretend you never heard him comment about how 300 pages of the Obamacare bill "are actually pretty good". And please don't pay any attention to his promise to include those pages in his GingrichCare bill. All you need to know is that a vote for anyone other than Gingrich will mean that Romney/Obama will win.
I am sick and tired of all this non-rational BS that I keep hearing from the McNewt-bots.
