I’m just watching FNS missed it at 6am ...... Schumer just said 70% do not support our men/woman in Iraq!
Right after Katrina, when the media was in a full feeding frenzy, I saw Newt on Fox. He was griping about the President being slow to react and said that he thought there should be a MARSHALL PLAN for the Gulf Coast. Now to me, a Marshall Plan means spending a lot of government money.
18 months later, when the Katrina corruption was revealed, there was Newt on Fox again. This time, he was talking about how corruption was to be expected when the government handled stuff like Katrina.
I swear, I almost threw a book through my television, remembering what he had said before. The overspending and corruption was a DIRECT RESULT of Newt and others like him talking about how we just had to spend billions of dollars ("Marshall Plan") and I felt he was absolutely cynical and opportunistic to change his opinions so much, and that change in opinion was a direct result of how the media was covering the situation and how the President was being portrayed.
Needless to say, I am not a huge Newt fan, regardless of what snazzy ideas he now has. I feel that he is too easily pushed by the media.
Well, after we invaded, we discovered all that evidence about French arms sales (in violation of the embargo) and the kickbacks Saddam made, in the oil for food scandal. Also, Chirac might have been concerned about more evidence coming out on how Saddam financed Chirac's party (the Rally for the Republic) when it was getting started. Also, it came out how the French oil company Total induced Saddam to slaughter the marshland Shiites and dry up their land, in order to make things safe for oil exploitation. There are reams of documents that haven't been translated yet. One thing about dictatorships, they keep good records.
BRAVO!!
I couldn’t have said it any better...and you have pinpointed my unease with Newt to at “T”!!
GREAT POST!!
I can stand on my deck and peer over into Tennessee. They don't have a state tax either.
Think I could claim some sort of exemption from state tax because I have a "view" of a State-Tax-Free State (STFS)?
Probably not.
Great story. Sounds just like Newt. I'm no fan either.
I just heard NEWT go out of his way to critsize the Bush Administration..and he was very, very descriptive in his bashing of the Administration.
My question: Newt, if he runs for POTUS, will NOT be running against Prs. Bush...does he not think that running down the current GOP Administration is NOT a good thing??
I'm having a hard time waiting, I might have to break out a DVD of a previous season.
I dont have a very high regard for ol’ Newt, and it drives me up a wall every time
Hannity calls him “Mr. Speaker”, what a load of crapola
I do it all the time!!
not that fox is liberal as much as they confuse exact equal time for balance.
A complete news story is not giving each side, no matter how insane, 50% of the air time.
Samantha, you should really stop being so kind about the ladies on the view.
I’m sure they do not deserve it. I’ll see for myself, unfortunately, on the 20th.
You really, really need to tell us how you really, really feel.
:)
I am reminded of his whining about having to get out of the back of Air Force One. A strategic thinker wouldn't have gone public with this complaint, as he would have realized it made him sound like a whining third-grader (which is how the media portrayed him). He also totally misread how the media would portray his showdown with Clinton over the budget, which is another example of his inability to look ahead and see possible results of his actions.
I just don't think he has the ability to lead as a president, and should he get the nomination his campaign would be full of this type of misstep.
Don't get me wrong. If he gets the nomination I will support him 100%; I just think there are far better people to carry the ball.
