All you can do is distort, misquote and mischaracterize. Just like Romney, you help prove there is no way to criticize Newt Gingrich on the facts and the truth. His critics have no alternative other than to make stuff up.
You’ve been told over and over that Newt is not proposing any new spending for this.
The analogy of the Alaska purchase has nothing to do with Obamacare. The examples offered represent America’s history of expanding its borders and promoting exploration of new frontiers. Such endeavors always pay off in the long term, unlike promoting more spending on a welfare state which destroys us in the long term. If we don’t get this spirit back we will be well on our way to losing our superpower status and remaining just another stagnant welfare state like Europe, Japan, Canada, etc.
I’m not distorting anything. If Newt wasn’t proposing spending government money on his loony moon colony, then why campaign on it. It’s not like he’s just pointing out that he thinks it would be a good idea for private industry to bankroll this lunar “Bridge to nowhere”
So, you can’t criticize government spending when it’s on something “Visionary” that pushes the frontier like Newt’s Moon colony or Obamacare, only bad government spending. Which I assume is spening not on something you consider good.
I’m sure the left would consider all of Obama’s spending “Visionary” Newt, the Obama of the right.
