Newt did fall for the global warming propaganda. I turned away at that point. He harmed himself, but I think that is all. No politician, or person, is perfect.
Newt lead Republicans to control of the House of Representatives, when it seemed like Republicans were an eternal minority, and could never gain control. He cut the growth of federal spending that gave us the surplus that Democrats claim as Clinton’s accomplishment.
This article is just another case where Newt is challenging liberal policies. He is articulate, aggressive, and generally right. We are very fortunate to have him on our side, and we should be on his side whenever he is right.
We can’t afford petty vendettas against Republicans. That is part of the reason we lost the House, Senate, and Presidency. Yes, we can insist that Republicans be conservative. But I don’t see that Newt is off-base on this article. Can you?
“We can’t afford petty vendettas against Republicans. That is part of the reason we lost the House, Senate, and Presidency.”
No, you’re 100% wrong.
We lost because we abandoned principles. A politician like Newt would sell out on any principle, if it would advance his personal agenda.
With Obama’s grab for power and the resulting fascist structure of our government, people like Newt, whether they’re running for office or advocating policy, would only add to the problem.
In 2012 we’re going to need a president who would be willing to diminish federal control—to break the chains Obama has placed on the private sector. People like Newt, driven by personal ambition, would not let go of that power.
I am confident Palin would be willing to forego personal power in order to reestablish liberty. There must be others out there like her.
