I don’t mind Newt, but this being testy with the media is great for conservatives but it will turn off independents.
I'm loving the hell out of it.
Newt doesn't have a chance in hades of winning the nomination, but it's great to see someone jap-slap the media.
I’m a Ron Paul supporter, but what you have to say is pretty much correct. The arguments about unconstitutional wars I think are strong. But spending a ton of money on the military isn’t unconstitutional.
And I should add that his “wacky foreign policy views” were mainstream conservative thought pre-Kristol.
I’d argue that this was the debate Ron Paul really only would want 89 seconds. Often people object to the wording as much as the underlying policy.
The idea of saving a whole lot of money by cutting back on our bombs budget is appealing to some conservatives though. Some conservatives realize that we’ve got a truly serious budget problem caused by too much spending and instead of a new national sales tax, or, more of the same and hope the problem goes away, we have to make serious cuts. Ron Paul hopes that by giving the Democrats something that they like, and the Republicans something that they like, he will actually be able to make cuts.
I want to see the size of the federal government shrink a lot. I would like to see a lot of cuts. Way too many people work for the government or depend on money from the government. The government does not do a better job at buying stuff for you. You do a better job of buying stuff that you want for you. So the government should just let you keep your own money and buy your own self. The government is not a good personal shopper.
I think we have enough bombs. I didn’t want to buy them. I woulda bought something else with my share of the bombs money.
...was that Major Garrett sitting next to Jerk-face....
^^
Yes, it was. He was not too impressive, IMO. But Pelley was insufferable. What an arrogant little girly man. I think he is bitter because his shoulders are as little as Bachman’s.
Get em Newt!
Good Post.
You are probably right about that, sadly.
Jerry is still trying to recover from his magic Al Capone vault fiasco.
Sadly many don’t remember he is a hype merchant and fall for
his DMZ tagline “I’m a lawyer” to give him credence.
I once watched a video of Newt down in Mexico speaking Spanish, ensuring the Mexicans that the government would work toward immigration reform.
Not to mention Newt sitting on a couch with Nancy the witch touting global warming nonsense. Kinda torques me.
Pelley’s head is misshapen. Just saying.
I know, I know....
No offense to Red Skelton (great American, but Pelley’s smug grin there reminds me of Clem Cadilelhopper, one of his characters.
I don’t support Gingrich but someone needed to talk to a liberal puke like Scott Pelley in just that way. Well done, Mr. Speaker.
pelly might have done better had he not had a sour lemon in his mouth. Oh wait...that’s just his expression...I forgot.
Newt did GREAT....was sad to see Major there although he didn’t get to ask many questions ether. Fox’s loss.

Bur 'series', it's good to hear a Republican candidate for POTUS say about our sworn enemies: 'We Kill Them'. It was like the good old early days of Dubya when he still had gonads and he and Rummy said "Kill". The pansy left went apoplectic hearing that word and they all came down with a case of the Dithers.
But most of us cheered. That 'macho' word was needed after eight years of the sissified foreign policy of Billy-Jeff and Maddy Not-so-bright who banned the term of 'Rogue Nation' and changed it to: 'A Nation led by people with bad table manners'. Or something just as insipid.
So sorry Pelley and CBS, you got your butt handed to you by Newt. We don't bring Lawyers into a firefight and warn our troops about the enemy's 'Rights'. We Kill Them, even if they were 'once Americans'. And that's that.
The air is kind of let out when you hear a lot of Yale Harvard students were passed with better grades than they should have.
you cannot limit the debates to 2 ... or even just a few participants. truthfreedom wants to go to NH to door knock for buddy roemer and get him over the 1% threshold. This is America, where ev’body gets an opportunity.
Best luck to ya truthfreedom with them Granite staters.
