I am thinking John Bolton may run and I believe he would make a great candidate.

Well, Mr. Hume, perhaps you could tell us, which of the other confirm or likely candidates will stand up to the secularists and Islamists to proudly proclaim this Nation to be Christian? Once again, the Republican Party expects Evangelicals to come out to vote, but sit quietly in the back while the country’s future is decided. No longer will we be taken for granted, or will we be placated by idle half-promises. Not this time.

And maybe it is uncomfortable to ask questions, but I think Newt is right to ask. If we have to do a mandate (I don’t think we should), then he’s right, it should be at the state level because there is such a thing as STATES RIGHTS and the Constitution gives the Fed NO AUTHORITY to do such a thing. Also, what do people under 55 get for the DECADES they paid into FICA? No, we can’t totally pull the rug out from under people already retired and who were made dependent on Medicare, but let’s be honest... do millionaires really need the taxpayers footing the bill for their electric mobility scooters?

You are quite welcome. By the way. The big news today is: TRUMP WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT.

Newt said that social engineering is just as bad on the right as it is on the left... OK.. we might agree with that.... but then the MAROON went on to support mandatory purchase of health insurance....

***Pubbies will give him the bewt !***

;-) It is beginning to look as if we are being set up for another McCain GOP candidate - or a 3rd party - either of which will assure the 'bamster the '12 election!!!

I heard that an Indiana judge has just nullified the 4th Amendment... it is time for the next generation to step up and defend freedom... I don't expect more than another 70 years for myself... ;-/

Good points on Newt. I heard that a former congressional aid said Newt had A.D.D. That he was off to the next thought or project before the first was finished. He would go off with out venting his ideas and say stupid stuff... like the laptops for kids and calling reporters at 5:00 in the morning and complaining he was in the the back of AIR FORCE ONE.

The problem is there are two Newts the good Newt and the Bad Newt, and you never know which one is going to show up.

No Newt is good Newt.

I don't want to see Brit running for any political office. I just like him as a news reporter. I enjoy his commentating now that he has semi retired.

I did too! I will miss him! (snicker) I just heard on Fox that Rush Limbaugh said it is befuddling that Newt supports the individual mandate. I heard him say that since the whole platform the Republicans want to beat Obama on has to do with the individual mandate not being constitutional, it makes no sense for Newt to go against Obama supporting it! Fox said Limbaugh said Newt cut Ryan off at the knees. I JUST HEARD HANNITY WILL HAVE NEWT ON HIS RADIO SHOW TONIGHT EXPLAINING WHAT HE SAID. Fox said Newt supported the individual mandate in ‘93. Fox said there is a huge conservative backlash against Newt now over his comments.

Still at my desk so haven’t heard HAnnity- but it will be fun watching Newt try to squirm his way out of this one...

I LOVED Ryans response to Newt’s statement. “With allies like this, who needs liberals”? llolol!

Thinking about it, it seemed like he was being led by Gregory. Gregory framed a question negatively, Gingrich went negative. Positive, Newt followed.

Maybe I’m way off, what do you think.

You could be right, but I have seen Newt re-frame questions before, even with friendly hosts.
