Thomas Sowell explains why Gingrich is the best to take on Obama
(Excerpt) Read more at video.foxbusiness.com ...
Very good post.
Hats off to you.
HAHAhahahahaha!!!
Love the ending. “Would that be considered a flip-flop?”
Hmmmm... ya think Santorum supporters are honest enough to even watch the clip? They (admittedly) won’t even watch Sowell’s short video!
Thank you! I hope people will vote with their brains and not just their feelings. Newt Gingrich is on a whole different playing field compared to the other candidates. I have to agree with Thomas Sowell and say that Newt has a grasp of policies and politics far deeper than the other two candidates.
“So you’re choosing Santorum because he has been s...g the same woman for 22 years? Some relevance.”
Some class.
Also, I prefer not to know anything about my candidate’s sex life.
“When and of what was ever Santorum a leader?”
What did Gingrich do with his chance at leadership?
Look, do not pepper me with Santorum ‘s weak points. They both have them. I chose one. You chose the other.
NEWT and Sowell DRILL DEEPER!
You’re not helping Newt by making that kind of crude remark.
Newt Gingrich was interviewed Friday by Nick Adam of Newscenter 11 in Meridian, MS:

I wish everyone would focus on more relevant DRILLING.

NEWT to Obama: This is what a drilling platform looks like

Newt’s Plans
From his website, Newt plans to:
1. Stop the 2013 tax increases to promote stability in the economy. Job creation improved after Congress extended tax relief for two years in December. We should make the rates permanent.
2. Make the United States the most desirable location for new business investment through a bold series of tax cuts, including:
Eliminating the capital gains tax to make American entrepreneurs more competitive against those in other countries;
Dramatically reducing the corporate income tax (among highest in the world) to 12.5%; Allowing for 100% expensing of new equipment to spur innovation and American manufacturing;
Ending the death tax permanently.
3. Move toward an optional flat tax of 15% that would allow Americans the freedom to choose to file their taxes on a postcard, saving hundreds of billions in unnecessary costs each year. This optional flat tax system will preserve deductions on charitable giving and home ownership, and create a new personal deduction of $12,000 for every American. This deduction is well above the current poverty level, ensuring that this new system does not unfairly target the poor.
4. Strengthen the dollar by returning to the Reagan-era monetary policies that stopped runaway inflation and reforming the Federal Reserve to promote transparency.
5. Remove obstacles to job creation imposed by destructive and ineffective regulations, programs and bureaucracies. Steps include: Repealing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which did nothing to prevent the financial crisis and is holding companies back from making new investments in the U.S;
Repealing the Community Reinvestment Act, the abuse of which helped cause the financial crisis;
Repealing the Dodd-Frank Law which is killing small independent banks, crippling loans to small businesses and crippling home sales;
Breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, moving their smaller successors off government guarantees and into the free market;
Replacing the Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Solutions Agency that works collaboratively with local government and industry to achieve better results;
and Modernizing the Food and Drug Administration to get lifesaving medicines and technologies to patients faster.
6. Implement an American energy policy that removes obstacles to responsible energy development and creates jobs in the United States.
7. Balance the budget by growing the economy, controlling spending, implementing money saving reforms, and replacing destructive policies and regulatory agencies with new approaches.
8. Repeal and replace Obamacare with a pro-jobs, pro-responsibility health plan that puts doctors and patients in charge of health decisions instead of bureaucrats.
9. Fundamental reform of entitlement programs with the advice and help of the American people. Read an extended white paper on this here:

What a sobering interview. 11 momentous minutes.
The 7 min mark, Newt contrasts the 4 remaining candidates.
The last answer addresses the “change” we can expect if we get Obama. Period.
That was great. You are batting a 1000 on your posts today. ;>)
I highly respect Thomas Sowell and his brilliant ideas and philosophy.
Because of his endorsement, I am taking another look at Newt.
It scares me that Obama is still close to the Clintons, who have all those FBI files in their armory.
What do those files tell about Newt?
OTOH, Newt would most definitely be the best debater against the Kenyan.
“So you’re choosing Santorum because he has been s...g the same woman for 22 years? Some relevance.”
You’re supposed to be a conservative, and you speak about a faithful longterm marriage as “shagging the same woman for 22 years”?
You are waaaaay out of line.
GO NEWT!
Sowell is something amazing. There isn’t much Sowell could say or demand that I wouldn’t break my back to make happen.
It is a blessing that Sowell doesn’t have one of those grating voices, either.
Thank the lord for Mark Levin!
WOW! He needs a TRUNK for that baggage. Compare that to the other candidates - they only have a make up case.
GO NEWT!! EXPERIENCED, KNOWLEDGEABLE and FIGHTER FOR AMERICA’S LAW of the LAND!
