More threads from liberal rags? I find it interesting how many lib rags you & the gang read.
Funny how going back just a few short months here, when Newt announced his candidacy, you found virtually no pro-Newt posts , so what changed?

Who cares its not illegal.
He made money promoting the socialism. Thats capitalism. I can’t believe how many people don’t like capitalism.
Newt—Caught with one hand inn the national health care cookie jar and the other on Pelosi’s knee.
Anything but a real conservative.
"The health center advocated, among other things, requiring that 'anyone who earns more than $50,000 a year must purchase health insurance or post a bond,' a type of insurance mandate that has since become anathema to conservatives."
Anathema to Conservatives, but not to Newt!
I like how you're happy to trust the Washington Post to tell you what the health center advocated and what conservatives should think.
Notice they pull out that which is clearly a partial sentence from some unspecific source material. It has no context.
"Must purchase" under what circumstances? Is that in exchange for something? What are the details?
Piranha's are out if full force.
ANYONE, ANYTHING (whether human, animal, vegetable, etc.) is better than the lying, IDIOT that is President now!
At least, he won't stifle JOB GROWTH and blatantly hand out BILLIONS of taxpayer's dollars to his damn cronies like the one we have now!

I am extremely vigilant to the healthcare debate. I firmly believe the purpose and the outcome of Obamacare is to bankrupt the US private healthcare industry resulting in widespread financial collapse of the entire US economic system. I have watched the Center of Health Transformation and Mr Gingrichs role in this entity.
Quite frankly, its a fly on an elephants ass. Its a very small organization, with very vague goals and has played almost no role in the healthcare debate. Mr Gingrich as an advisor was probably no more than paying him a decent salary to be a recognizable name for a floundering company.
They have played virtually no role in shaping the healthcare debate. Their mission statement has been to protect privatized medicine and keep patient accountability in play. They have discussed and promoted widespread integrated systems and reduced cost of care, which if you are aware of any of the environment of healthcare today, is a standard, entry level talking point.
I have said on this website I am now strongly in support of Gingrich, so I dont want to hide that position on this thread.
That being said, no one is more critical of governments role in healthcare than myself. I am a doctor in private healthcare and the business of private healthcare is in serious jeapordy. The collapse of private medicine in the US will make the housing collapse look like pocket change.
And from this perspective, I see no problem whatsoever with Gingrichs participation with this healthcare advisory company.
They have not demonstrated any anti-private healthcare positions, and have not done anything to jeapordize private healthcare in any way that I can see. Gingrich has been clear in his campaign about the repeal of Obamacare which imo is essential, necessary for any semblence of future US financial viability. The US cannot survive full implementation of Obamacare.
The argument of Gingrichs participation in this company as somehow showing him to have a liberal, statist stance on healthcare, and /or supportive of Obamacare has no basis in fact for me. Please tell me where I am wrong.
Also, in full disclosure, this is a repeat post in a similar content thread.
You are posting MSM SPAM intended to get Obama reelected. I’ll take Gingrich over Obama. I’m not a RINO.
