Newt Gingrich answers your questions

Posted on 11/29/2011 9:58:33 PM PST by delacoert

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich ...

(Title only. See below.)


TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: mandate; newtcare; obamacare; romneycare
I listened to Rick Perry repeatedly evade giving answers to Greta Van Susteren when asked to speak about his best plan for dealing with illegal immigration and it occurred to me ...

In comparison, Newt Gingrich actually tries to answer this question without resorting to completely meaningless politcal double speak.

A good part of Gingrich's increasing poll number might have to do with giving answers while others evade.

That's all fine and good if you agree with those answers he gives.

Newt’s like Obama. He thinks he can talk himself out of anything.

Don’t see a link, but here’s one:

If you are elected President, there are obviously some policies and plans which will require time and fighting in order to get them implemented. That being said, what can Conservatives expect President Newt Gingrich WILL be able to deliver for the Conservative cause in his first 100 days in office?

>> Newt Gingrich answers your questions <<

Alrighty, Newt. Here goes...

1) Why is it you REFUSED to answer my questions and say anything more to me than "look at the camera and smile" when I met you at the grassroots Ames, Iowa straw poll gathering in 2007, considering you were a private citizen at the time, NOT running for President, and all the other politicians at the fairgrounds were more than happy to speak to anyone who made the trek to see them in person?

2) Why it is you charged money for the "privilege" of getting a photo-op with you in a tent when all the other politicians were happy to pose for pictures for free at this grassroots outdoor event? Why did you treat it like a $500 a plate fundraiser and force everyone to sign up for your "American Solutions" newsletter just to get in line to meet you?

3) Why is it that your "American Solutions" people bombarded with me phone calls begging me for money over the next five months after I repeatedly told them that based on your behavior at the fairgrounds, I would never vote for you for dog catcher or send you a cent? Why it is they continued to call me after I sent your organization a cease and deist letter, only quitting after I threatened to record the phone conversation?

4) Why is it that you expect me to believe you've "reformed" and are a "new Newt" when you were the same old arrogant narcissistic jerk when I met you post-Callista marriage?

Looking forward to Newt's answers. I'm sure he'll be happy to level with me. :-)

Newt gives lovely answers.. groovey answers..
BUT.... will he (( DO )) them.. instead of just jaw jack..
Its a question of trust.. even Newts wives can’t trust him..

I like good answers, Romney is a democrat tool.. Newt is more sneaky.. Perry has a Rhinestone Hat..

I’m still in Michele Bachmanns camp..
Sure she has a lot to learn.. but she is not Fabian Socialist..

ALL the men even Paul may be progressives..
Paul may be progressive-lite.. maybe the sneakyist one of all..

“Newt’s like Obama. He thinks he can talk himself out of anything.”

Cain talks about anything, but he can’t think of the right answers. LOL

Perhaps you’ve already noticed that in a recent poll, Cain is now tied with Bachmann at an impressive... wait for it... wait for it... 10%.

I’ll take Newt.

Dear Newt, why do you love illegals more than you love your fellow American citizen?

Every Newt thread attracts Ronulans, Mittwits and Birchers, oh my! Plus the usual Democrat seminar posters, moles and trolls.

Strange, Palin threads attracted the same usual suspects as Newt threads now do.

Hey Newt, why do you think punishing criminals is “inhumane?”

When newt opens his mouth he lies, so what lie did he tell. The old amnesty is not amnesty, that is getting a little old.

I like all the candidates, but three weeks or so ago I switched to Newt, and have no remorse....
