Former House speaker Newt Gingrich talked about gun control this morning on CBS:
Gingrich revealed that he's been urging House Republicans to hold hearings about gun control in Chicago, President Obama's hometown and "the murder capital of the United States."
"Well, I think it's amazing that we're having all this discussion about gun control: The president's hometown, Chicago, is the murder capital of the United States. Over 500 people were killed there last year. Vice President Biden doesn't seem to want to go there. I'm trying to get the House Republicans to hold hearings there. It's illegal to have all the guns that are killing people in Chicago. If gun control works, Chicago ought to be safe," said Gingrich.
Kinda fits a lot of ids ....
My name is Dan. There is a good Dan, a bad Dan and a very hardened mature Dan that still looks at life through the eyes of a child, or so my bride says. With me, it’s a package deal.
ANY Newt would be better that that jerk we are now stuck with. I think you know that. ;>)
Well, yes, you make a good point. Although I doubt you are as schizo as Newt is. BTW, I supported Newt in the primaries, and writing a book now about how Karl Rove and the Establishment Lost...Again. In that book, I explore the good Newt V the Bad Newt in depth.
I remember that you supported Newt in the primaries.
For me it worked like this: I wanted Palin to run, she didn’t so I supported Newt, then in the general I supported Romney.
I would have voted for a can of soup over Obama.
Please let me know when your book is out. I will probably not like any Newt bashing, but I would love the parts dedicated to eviscerating Karl Rove and the Establishment. ;>)
Cheers....
There’s no real Newt bashing, but I do mention that in the past there’s been “a bad Newt” and that for almost the entire 2011-12 season, he was the “good Newt” - and then lost it in Florida....as did the entire Republican field. Much more positive about Newt than negative, but very negative towards his consultants, including those establishment types I fought tooth and nail with inside the Super PAC supporting Newt.
Book will be something....out soon.....a 20 year deconstruction of how our establishment has lost every argument, ceded every narrative, discarded the truth, and totally screwed up the party and that party’s message.
I envy your talent.
The meeting should be held on the Southside of Chicago - and without armed security. Let these folks learn how it feels to be an every day American...
