Newt Gears Up
The Washington Times ^ | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 05/16/2011 9:27:46 AM PDT by lakeprincess

Which brings us to Monday, when Mr. Gingrich addresses an Alzheimer's Association forum, demanding treatments and a cure, but framed in financial and “moral” terms.

“Over the next 40 years, Alzheimer’s disease will cost American society $20 trillion, $15 trillion of which will be in Medicare and Medicaid,” the candidate says, adding that a treatment that delays the onset of Alzheimer’s by five years would “cut government spending on the disease nearly in half in 2050.”

That would be the third time this week. Shredded tripe. It is what’s for leftovers.

Newt seems to be a majority of one, that thinks his presidential bid is viable.

This guy is in for a bit of a surprise.

Dear Newt,

You will never be president. Everybody in the world seems to know that, except you apparently.

Obama's plan is more effective if you understand what the disease is and who suffers from it as a matter of politics.

To a government run plan, the disease is the individual, or cost. The person or party suffering from the disease is the government or treasury. The goal is to end the suffering.

Why would anyone in government healthcare want to extend a cost? Face it folks, the day you stop paying into the system with payroll and income taxes and become an expense, is the day you will no longer be "cured" of anything. You will be managed, medicated, and dispatched while specially trained end of life counselors from the local union hall play Muzak for your last days while you wallow in your own filth, too extinguished on a morphine drip to care.

Word! Newt is now a "dead candidate walking." He's done--and anyone dumb enough to give his candidacy money is SOL.

My goodness. Such attitudes. Don’t you all know this is the smartest Republican in America? He is an Historian. And he supports the Constitution.
Just because he is a flaming RINO is no excuse to dismiss him so coldly. Dismiss him warmly, like with a properly administered spanking.

OK, the next question should be: How long will Newt stretch this out until he quits, realizing that he is a LOSER?
