>>> The “smartest guys in the room” got us into the mess we’re in. Do you really want another? >>>
wow. Shallow shallow analysis, but pithy. Truth is, smart folks did not get us into any mess. Folks who wrongly thought they were smart - as in elitists - got us into this mess. Ivy League ivory tower elites who are not that smart.
Newt is a good ole West Georgia boy who legitimately is smart. Runs his mouth too much. Is too arrogant. Has gone down some academic rabbit trails of government tinkering. I’ll give you all that.
But he is legitimately smart, unlike Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Franklin Rains and Jamie Goreick and Janet Reno and all the Ivy leaguers who got us into this mess.
You say “...and all the Ivy leaguers who got us into this mess.”
This is another BIG point in Newt’s favor, and ours - he’s NOT from Harvard, Yale etc. He didn’t take “One World Gov’t: 101”
He doesn’t belong to ‘the Club” of Ivy League lawyer Washington elitists that have been running our country directly or in the shadows for decades. (Who was the last president we had that also did NOT belong to that group? Yep. Ronald Reagan. That didn’t turn out too bad.)
And Newt is NOT for turning our country over to the UN/One World Gov’t.

Newt was born in PA.
They belong on a poster on the post office wall.
