Thank you for substantively addressing the issues brought up in the article!
The problem with what Newt did was, as is so often the case with him, HOW he did it. Even if he was completely in the right, and had every conservative reason to back up his conclusions, at that precise moment going on the Sunday shows and calling Ryan’s plan “right-wing social engineering” was just about the maximum damage to the plan that Newt could have done.
And this is what Newt does. He not only fumbles out of the blue, he fumbles when it’s third and goal.
(BTW, have you listened to Mark Levin’s takedown of the “right-wing social engineering” remark?)
What do you think about the other points the author brings up?
I heard him on more than one of those shows and he explained that mandate before he said he was not in favor of mandates whether they were from the left or the right. He did that just fine.
He explains in detail his opinions and his plans. I find no fault with him to be president as I have kept up with his agenda since he left congress and been in audiences when he spoke.
If he isn’t our candidate, Obama wins.
