I attended today! It was a very good, albeit brief, event. Newt was 30 minutes late so we listened briefly to Matt Staver who sponsored the event and a few other panelists.
Newt’s first question was about his glowing words for FDR, TR and Woodrow Wilson. He said he didn’t really remember speaking glowingly about WW but considers him smart. He then went on to tell why he did with FDR (WWII was a very well run war) and TR as he considers safe water and food a necessity and TR created the FDA (after reading The Jungle about a guy that falls in a vat and becomes sausage!)
He spoke very well about stem cells, the Mexico City policy (foreign abortion aid), getting rid of all the czars. He said he is going to mandate congress stay in session and get bills passed on repealing obummercare, sarbanes and dodd frank so he can sign them the day he’s sworn in.
There were a few other subjects; all in all very good. A lot of Santorum people showed, even though Santorum didn’t and was supposed to, and he asked them to vote for him if they want a conservative to win Fl.
And how do you think that (his appeal to Santorum voters) was received? The live stream was excellent. I hope that it was being taped, did you see cameras rolling? He needs to get a copy of that video and circulate it, it was THAT good!
My prayer is that Rick Santorum will release his supporters before the vote.
