Damn. If only his actions would meet up with his words. Sigh

‘Sigh’ is correct. If only you’d spend a few minutes actually looking at his record rather then listening to the MSM.

He has a record, just look at it.

I’ve posted this before but here is what Newt did on his FIRST DAY as Speaker January 5th, 1994:

Rather than just pop the cork on the champagne and pat each other on the back Newt IMMEDIATELY started the ball rolling by;
- Led passage of nine reforms (they said he couldn’t/wouldn’t get any but he got all nine)
- Eliminated three committees.
- Eliminated twenty five subcommittees.
- Eliminated more than six hundred congressional jobs called LSOs and he didn’t pick and choose which ones, he eliminated ALL of them. A savings to the tax payers of nearly 35 million dollars.

It was billed as the longest first day in the history of the house (til 2:00am the next morning).

To add icing to the cake he hadn’t even started on the Contract With America yet. That was to come later (within 100 days actually) this was just in cleaning up the House.

Oh by the way he also balanced the budget for four years in a row and paid DOWN the debt by nearly half a TRILLION dollars. When was the last time America had a balanced budget for even one year?

What did you have in mind, surrounded by cowards and the faithless as we are?

If only he had a fighting chance.... Damn. He just doesn't though.

He's saying all the right things but nobody's buying it and we're going to get stuck with Romney.

God, I'd love to be dead-wrong on this! But I'd bet my next paycheck that I'm not.
