Newt hit it out of park on defense spending.
Well there were about 2000 in St Paul where I lived at the time. It is easy to make a prediction it will be 5 time worse especially since they are already moving south like the birds even as I type.
Gigrich has some great zingers. I enjoy his wit. Too bad he will not win. Maybe he will be Sec. of State.
