OKLAHOMA CITYA once-powerful Washington figure himself, Newt Gingrich says he'd shrink the role of the nation's capital if sent back as president.
The Republican presidential candidate wrapped two days of Oklahoma campaigning Tuesday by addressing the state Legislature. He asked lawmakers for input on regulations to roll back and other steps to, in his words, "get the federal government out of your hair."
The former House speaker says he'd focus most on regulations he thinks are hindering energy development and on giving states greater flexibility

Good idea from Newt.
He who governs least, governs best.
Repeal the 17th Amendment and give the states a voice in Washington again!
Hear! Hear!
Newt is the only candidate that has the knowledge and strength to reverse much of the communists that are in control of the Country. Romney, Santorum and Paul haven’t the slightest idea how to work back the system and we cannot afford to train them.
With ya, brotha/sista!
Santorum is my #1, Gingrich, strong #2.
True Conservatives United = Newtorum!!!
Big Government Toasted = Obamney!!!
It’s that simple.
Absolutely. It broke the system of checks and balances the founding fathers so carefully designed.
Good talker but hasn't any idea how to change things and would take too long to get up to speed. Time is very short and if no immediate action we will have riots like Grease if the changes are not tempered. Only Newt would have the ability to work it back the day he takes office.
I am your sistah! ...and Gingrich is my #1. I do not have a #2. Cannot believe we find ourselves in this position. This should have been a cakewalk. I do like your “Newtorum”. LOL. Good one. Bless you.
Full charge ahead, Mr Speaker. Let’em have it.
God Bless Newt.
I would love to see more of these kind of posts!
Yes, I am for Newt Gingrich, Santurom 2nd.
It would be nice if both Santurom supports and Gingrich supporters would “police” their own and keep the posts civil.
Don’t you think?
There would be less feelings of disgust about the other
And more focus on getting Obama out!
Which ever wins WE WIN!
Amen!
Great Aunt Gerti’s Garters! You got it! Wonderful idea!
Yes, the doc fix, how newt balanced the budget, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/11/28/countdown-begins-for-congress-on-doc-fix/
I guess if you get everyone to like you then you have already sold your soul. Newt has some people that do not like him and thats OK! My phrase: “Not everyone is going to like me, and I am OK with that.”
I believe that is Mark Ficklestein’s freeper handle.
