I just finished his new book and it is a solid read. He is always on top of new, creative ideas in politics.

And there is no doubt, his new thesis is one that would ensure America's prosperity for the next century.

We need Newt as POTUS. Run Newt in '08...

Gingrich reminds me in some ways of Winston Churchill (adultery excluded). A fire brand. An outcast. Prolific writer. Willing to stand up against the crowd.

Newt was avant-garde in '94. He is not cutting edge now.

Again, Newt proves he is one of the smartest and most honest politicans out there. Without Senate term limits we are living in a dictatorship.

Newt came to a place I used to work a few years ago for a speech and question/answer.

His speech was okay but the first question for Newt was about ensuring privacy in the digital age, with identity theft a growing problem. The guy asked Newt how we could develop more privacy.

Newt basically said that it used to be 100 years ago that if you wanted to live by yourself and be anonymous you could go live out west and no one would bother you. He said that that wasn't an option anymore, and he basically said that there was no more privacy anymore in our society and we just had to get used to that and determine how best to protect the financial and personal information which is available on all of us, blah, blah, blah.

I was rather unimpressed with his answer. It was more of "the gov't is here to take care of you because we know best" and "just trust the gov't to do the right thing" sort of answer.

He gave the same answer as Hillary or most any of the leftists would (and on a couple of other things, too). When you couple that with the fact that under Newt's watch the federal budget grew enormously and he and the conservatives were the ones pushing for bigger gov't, Newt is not really a "Small Gov't" conservative, he's a "Big Gov't" conservative, which is about the same as being a liberal IMHO.

It is a damn shame the Dems were able to take down Newt with their false charges of wrong doing. He definitely was a fighter - something the Republicans always need more of.

Of course we did lose the biggest fight of his career with Clinton, but Slick was an opponent easy to underestimate - an even bigger mistake with the monolith of the MSM circa 1995 in full support of him too.
