“Kerry, would have defeated Bush in the 2004 election had the new Medicare drug benefit not been pushed by the president and approved by a Republican Congress.”

Nonsense! That reasoning was wrong when Bush was pushing his “kinder, gentler conservatism,” and it is still wrong. This is where Newt bothers me. Will he apply the same reasoning to global warming policies or socialized medicine, amnesty? We need clear messages from Newt and solid promises that he won’t reason himself into destructive progressive policies that grow an already unaffordable government.

The global warming scandal is one area I have followed closely. I have carefully listened to Newt discuss this many times in recent months. I am certain that Newt very strongly believes in AGW and that "carbon loading" is a serious issue.

Newt is outright lying when he posits a position that indicates he has changed on the matter. Believe me, if elected, he will take an extreme hard left position on AGW.

Anyone who has read "The True Believers" by Eric Hoffer can easily see that Newt is a true believer in big solutions by big government.

I am still praying a REAL conservative can somehow rise up and take the lead. Our Republic cannot survive another Statist.

How clear do you want it to be? Newt has clearly stated he is for an individual mandate. Newt has clearly stated he agrees there is global warming the government must do something about. Newt has made it perfectly clear he is for amnesty. To deny it would be pulling a Giuliani. I'm not saying any of these things mean he should not be president, only that he is on record concerning these issues.
