Sadly, Newt is from yesteryear. He will not get a friendly reception from Freepers ... we have long and acute memories.
I thought he was pretty good in “yesteryear,” too. Romney put a lot of money into destroying him.
What he has said here about Obama’s bizarre Pied Piper stunt is true, but nobody, including Newt, has been able to give me a good explanation of why Obama is doing it. Even many Dems don’t like it, it’s certainly not popular with non-Dems, and even Hispanics other than the radical political class don’t like it (for one thing, by no means are these “refugees” all Hispanics - many of them are Chinese or other people brought in by people-smugglers through Cuba). Believe me, some immigrant who’s just making it here is not going to be happy to have a bunch of dependent teenagers from his old village show up on his doorstep...particularly since it’s not even being suggested that these “children” are coming here to work. And the idea that they’ll swell Dem voting rolls isn’t it either, since many of them are going to be living in places that are already all Dem.
The only thing I can think is that Obama wants to create chaos to cover up something else or maybe distract from it. I don’t know, because the only thing he is really doing with this is creating chaos.
Certainly Newt isn’t perfect....but I’d take him over about 90 % of the current House members....
He certainly has a spine and the ability to present cogent facts....
