RE :”maybe one day levin will discuss it “

Levin???
I still remember about 2008 Levin was claiming the Senate filibuster was unconstitutional and said the Republican Senate should witha simple majority change the rules to remove it relating to justices. In fact he even wrote that in his book. Fortunately it didnt happen.

Fast forward to 2009 and he is once again going the R Senators in the minority advice :”Filibuster Every Obama judicial nominee”

Thank you so much. Coming from a still-proud Newt supporter, I find your words and insights insightful and deeply moving. Thanks, again!

Re :”DOMA essentially keeps the fed, as in the IRS, from accepting the sodomy lobby...puffers and packers are free to enjoy their 9 states and leave the rest of us alone, but they wont...”

As it should be.

Last night Ed Schultz (MSNBC lib) grilled a public school teacher (female) who legally carries a loaded concealed gun to school.

Two questions of his caught my attention :
1) What if a parent of a student objects to her doing that?
2) Doesnt this interfere with parental rights if a parent objects?

I think this is the first time lib Schultz made the argument for parental rights especially for a single objecting parent, the whole idea of public schools is anti-parental rights. Your kid learns about climate change like it or not.

When NYC is forced to honor gun permits from other states I will consider forcing those states to honor NYS’s pervert marriage licenses, but no reason why the feds must give them benefits they give normal married coupleseither way..

Newt was damaged goods in the primary. He should never, ever had entered the primary. Because of him, we got Romney rather than Santorum. Now Newt is showing his true colors.


This.

Freepers didn’t help. Sadly, most here became Newt Pom Pom People, forgetting that Newt is a psychologically needy, greedy bastard like Clinton. The only reason freepers thought he was qualified was because he stood up to left wing debate moderators. I admit that was a good thing, but it wasn’t enough to keep him from left turns a la Pelosi’s love seat. Never will be.

Newt is the only thinker in the mix that includes all the Republicans and Obama/Hillary. He sees fifty years while the others are stuck on next quarter.

He is their intellectual superior.

Narrow minded conservatives threw him out because he did not measure up to their Christ like but unattainable standard of morality.

good catch...we'll see more of this as time passes with the queers, as they wont be able to straddle the fence, fun for them as that position is, between individualism and statism...

When NYC is forced to honor gun permits from other states I will consider forcing those states to honor NYS’s pervert marriage licenses, but no reason why the feds must give them benefits they give normal married coupleseither way..

hell Id go so far as to motivate normal folks by eliminating/streamlining the tax code regarding marriage...

but bottom line is that the pluggers are not being *denied* a damn thing, as they are free to marry by the legal, and historical definition too...butt, of course they cant be true to their lie of a lifestyle in doing so...

check my tag again...the creeping sickness overwhelming us is usually enabled by various factions turning that force of gubmint against us...the very gubmint that is *supposed* to be protecting the 2A...for us...

Looks like fake excuse who sucked up to the guy who actually signed the gay marriage bill into law and also was the father of putting granny in the casket with Obama/Romney care when it deems purposeful by Obama. What a weak minded defense. Now you guys rant about Newt and his marriage past and now him to this issue. You think people cannot see through this. HA! Get your sofa picture then get your Romney signing the bills with Kennedy.

Bingo! I watched him on Greta last night. I wish we had him advising house republicans.

Basically he still believes it is wrong but legal accommodation have to take place to cover the thousands who have already legally been married to same sex partners.

Excellent, excellent assessment and analysis. We should have gotten Santorum, who would have won the general election.

still obsessing on romney - this is about newt

you accused me of being a liar and told me to beg God for forgiveness - but defend a demonstrated liar to lead this country?

you need to reevaluate your morality - its misplaced

and again - 7-9 stated did NOT vote for gay marriage - you also need to learn the facts

Newt Gingrich is still the best articulater of conservative ideals and viable strategies for Republicans, since Reagan.

I'm not sure how one can consider a person who embraces 10% of Obamacare as being a great articulater of conservative ideals. Santorum alone said that we needed to ditch Obamacare and get the federal government the hell out of the insurance business, while Gingrich was pushing his own version - GingrichCare.
