Newt speaks to Oklahoma legislature

OKLAHOMA CITY — A special guest speaker adressed today's joint session of Oklahoma Legislature. Newt Gingrich only spoke to lawmakers for just over 10 minutes, but his message was focused. He said, "I want to talk about three examples of the change we need."

At the top of the list, he touted a movement started by Gingrich and managed by Texas Givernor Rick Perry to strengthen the 10th amendment and return power and tax money to the states.

It's something Ronald Reagan tried to do 30 years ago and failed. Gingrich says times have changed. "And there's a lot deeper feeling in the country that Washington's doing too much, meddling too much, interfering too much, spending too much and micro-managing too much. So I think there's a much better chance today" (of passing laws to revert billions in federal tax dollars to the states).

Gingrich also wants to turn the Environmental Protection Agency into the Environmental Solutions Agency and open more lands to oil exploration. He says, "We want to be so independent in energy production that no future President ever again bows to a Saudi king."

Hear Newt Gingrich's address to the Oklahoma Legislature here.

In the interviews I’ve heard of him this week - on Hannity, Ingraham, and with Chris Wallace - Newt seems to have focused his message, sharpened his presentation, and gotten back on track. There was still a little bit of complaining about what Romney did to him with the negative advertising, but not nearly as much evident anger as just a few weeks ago. I hope it’s not too late, and I pray that he knocks it out of the park tomorrow.

Go, Newt!!

Seems Newt struck a nerve about the gun rack GM Blog video.

Now all that's needed are outlets on trees, so hunters can plug in their Volt.

Proving that Detroit doesn’t “get it.” It’s not about putting a gun rack in the backseat.

Just bury the Volts, with no ceremony in a landfill.

And from what I have read the battery pack on the Volt auto weighs 386 lbs. and can propel the care as far as 1-1/2 gallons of gasoline.

Some how that power density is not impressive.

PVC pipe frame and some bungee cord is not a gun rack.

But you are right they do not like to be mocked for the failure of that ridiculous farce of a car.

Gonna need a spare garage and a fire truck, too, in case the volt burns the joint down while re-charging.
