It is just a beginning and will be fleshed out in detail in time, because Newt has done this before. Go back and read the original Contract with America as well. The Republican Congress implemented virtually all of it in short order.
We had a BUDGET SURPLUS with Newt as Speaker and we almost had a balanced budget amendment had the RINO, Mark Hatfield not bailed in the last minute. Those were the good old fiscal days.
Yes, yes, I know, Newt has his baggage. He galivanted with Nancy Pelosi and endorsed Dede Scazzafava, and then there's the matter of his 3 marriages, etc.
But are we voting for a saint or are we voting for someone who has the experience and RECORD to get us out of our present funk?
Mark it down...Newt Gingrich will be the 45th president of the US. The only question remaining is who will be his running mate?
I would not vote for somebody as enthusiastic about enforcing a personal mandate for health insurance as Newt has been in the past. Newt can say he has changed but I believe he will change back in a heartbeat based on political expediency if his past actions are any indicator.
Cain is right to want to take advantage of Newt's skills and genius, but it would be a mistake to put Newt in line to hold political power, a position he would have as Vice President. The better choice would be to make Newt Whitehouse chief of staff to the President. This would be a fit that takes advantage of his skills, but isolates him outside of being able to garner political power for himself.
It would be very helpful if conservatives begin to change how they think about elections. Focusing on conservatives winning in order to exercise political power is not the ideal target. The target we need to focus on is electing conservatives who will strip government and the politicians who run it of being able to exercise any power except the protection of life, individual freedom and property.
Socialists believe government can affect the economy in a positive way. Nothing can be further from the truth. And conservatives forget this as well. Far too many believe conservative government policies can affect the economy in a positive way when the truth is government interferes with the economy and that only thing that government can do of benefit for the economy is to stop doing anything at all except protecting life, individual freedom and property. It's these issues, and these alone, that actually matter.
This piece starts with a flawed premise, that Mel Martinez and Spencer Abraham are/were conservatives; and goes down hill from there.
I carried Newt’s water back in the 90’s, and he will have to “walk the walk” not just “talk the talk” to get back my support.
