A freshman has an idea...the whole memo is reproduced and goes into startling detail. Worth a look.

Note: I am NOT comparing Newt to George Washington.

If this is true, it is very interesting. Especially when you consider how important that line in the debate was. It framed the argument very concisely for that election and has been used in others to great effect. I wonder why someone like Newt, who loves to brag, didn’t let this info out earlier?

Liberals from Obama to Gingrich borrow constantly from President Reagan. But that just does not make them Ronald Reagan!

At least Herman Cain uses his own words, and they seem to resonate very well with the people. He is doing amazingly well considering the garbage being thrown at him by liberals and conservatives alike.

Too bad some people don’t stay on the train until we arrive at the station, because then we all lose.

Herman Cain is still the man with the plan who can: he can bring manufacturing back to America, bringing jobs, jobs, jobs with them. He can demand a balanced budget (with a few less crusty career politicians in Congress.) He can cut spending if the house and the senate are cleaned out, and replaced with people from the real world.

I would like to see term limits imposed. Small business can thrive when President Cain eliminates the EPA. More jobs, jobs, jobs! Everyone will have more money to live on because prices will be lower, and taxes will be fair. And on and on.

Don’t let the media put you off with it’s out and out lies. Stay on the train. with Herman Cain!

I don’t care if Reagan was a huge mechanical puppet controlled by Gingrich, I am voting for Cain. I will not let the media pick my candidate, by smearing my candidate with unfounded accusations and creative editing of interviews.

Go Cain!

hmmmm

In reading that, without thinking about it, I could hear Newt speaking those words. It has his cadence and his succinct ability to cut to the core.

as to why he has never said anything? He greatly admired and cared about Reagan. And he is not given to bragging (which is different than pointing out what he HAS done as illustrations of what he WILL do.

In Watching the debate tonight, I was struck by how many of the other candidates were “When I (capitol “I”) am Commander in Chief, I...” etc.

Newt is more about solutions and examples over “I/me.”

The others, not so much.

Interesting that Ron Paul, the oldest, with more time to’ve had personal regrets about things in his past (when they were asked about it) had none...except that he didn’t pursue what he believes would’ve been a note-worthy sports record. (snicker) Must be comforting to look back on your life and think: “I’m spotless.”

What’s that old saying: “A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.”

Here’s a speech from Newt that I got in an Email today! If I wasn’t already a fan, this would have clinched the deal. From Nov 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=qtjfMjjce2Y
