RE :”I’m supporting Newt Gingrich as the most conservative Republican who is electable and most qualified for the position of President”

Yes, and he has all the answers to the Nation's biggest problems and they all are easy too.

On Social Security he said cutting taxes will make it solvent by creating more jobs.

On Medicare he said he will get Visa and Mastercard to run it since they are experts at stuff like that.

Who else could come up with stuff like that? He is SO smart.

So far at least the GOP is being predictable. They're ignoring the real conservatives and propelling their darlings to the top. I know it's early, but at the current trajectory, we'll end up with four more years of hope and change.

I think you might want to carefully re-examine how you interpreted his short delivery trying to address how much money could be saved by using new systems such as IBM offered in reducing fraud and abuse and outright criminal crimes being perpetrated within the Social Security, Medicare systems. He was simply using examples to try to drive home a point. As for his remark on cutting taxes in a way that could bolster our economy, and get some eighteen million plus back to work to help create a larger revenue stream, again his short time was used to try to simply make a point. No different then say Herman has said in short sound bites.
For the record. I have watched every debate as well as that long debate. I can't support your particular examples of where Newt screwed the pouch on those particular issues.
And I hate these debates. No one is given a chance to speak at length at to how they might consider fixing any of our nations long term ills. What can one say in short 60 second burst or 30 seconds rebuttals. The problems at hand are very complicated in their entire scope.
Time for me to hit the rack. Do have a great upcoming day.

The Medicare thing was an analogy, an example.
