Did you hear Mitt V Newt Sound Bytes on Fox News Special Report?

Did you just hear the back and forth between Mitt and Newt on the "insider/outsider" issue? Mitt made a decent opening shot but Newt returned fire and blistered him (IMO).

Link is not up yet, but wanted Freep nation feedback.

You and your mama are liberal-loving, statist-milking, gay-advocating, gun-grabbing, culture-of death supporting, Romney/Huntsman-pushing, liberty-hating disgraces. Get out.

I’d probably vote Mittens over Newter.

John Huntsman and honestly, Ron Paul is all we have left...

N00b *SNIFF*.

Past posting history claimed to be for Cain, but if this person *sincerely* went from Cain to Huntsman / Ron Paul, then they are the only person I've ever met or heard of to do so...

Cheers!

Here’s another good video. Jon Stewart examines flipper Mitt Romney. At 1:45 in the video, Romney is seen in an interview filmed a few days ago, being asked by Bret Baier what book he read last. Romney declines to tell the truth, because that book is apparently not serious enough. Instead he says he “just read” Decision Points by GWB.
Jon Stewart then shows us a clip of Romney being asked in May of 2011 the same question and he says then, too, that he “just finished” Bush’s book.

Yuck. Please take me off your ping list.

“I just can’t stand Newt, and hope that people look at his record, and the way he treats women!”

Actually, I understand he treats his current wife very well. Are you aware of how his previous wives treated him? Just wondering.

thanks for the thread/video. It’s been shared.

Excellent Newt comeback to Romney, the (cough) ‘outsider’.

A president tearing up the EO's, numerous appointments, and czar offices of his predecessor; a legislature invalidating Obamacare and passing a balanced budget amendment; these are examples of government solutions to government-caused problems.

Those are examples of government getting the hell out of the way. Unfortunately, Newt Gingrich is not a proponent of that. Quite the contrary. In fact, Gingrich actually favors the individual mandate that Obamacare contains.

Newt Gingrich Supports Individual Mandate

Is that your idea of good government solutions? Newt Gingrich is no conservative.

[TigersEye]

1993? Vouchers = mandate? LOL

[Hoodat]

Listen again. In May 2011, Newt Gingrich plainly stated that everyone should be required to pay for health care.

And here's what he said today:

GINGRICH: I am for people, individuals, exactly like automobile insurance, individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance, and I am prepared to vote for a voucher system which will give individuals on a sliding scale a government subsidy so it will ensure that everyone as individuals have health insurance.

Got that? TODAY, Newt Gingrich said that people should be required to have health insurance. And he took it a step further to say that those who can't afford it should have their premiums subsidized by those who pay taxes. If you think for a second that he will overturn Obamacare, then you are a fool. Heck, he's not even saying that he'll overturn it.

[TigersEye]

If you think for a second that he will overturn Obamacare, then you are a fool.

That's what I figured. Just another blowhard hack who can't support the time of day without a personal attack.

[Hoodat]

Oh, so you think he’ll overturn Obamacare?

[Drumbo]

So you didn't listen to the interview you posted? You said "And here's what he said today:" and then quoted the soundbyte from 1995 that Beck played him. He explains the context and the question he was answering (which Glenn didn't play) and went on to say (TODAY):

"In a free society you don't elect officials to impose on you things you disagree with. We just went through this fight over ObamaCare. Now I also, ironically, I woukd implement the Medicare reforms that Paul Ryan wants, I'd implement them next year as an optional choice. And I'd allow people to have the right to choose premium support and then have freedom to negotiate with their doctor or their hospital in a way that would increase their ability to manage cost without being involved ... But, I wouldn't impose it on everybody across the board. I think it's a very large scale experiment, but I think you could migrate people towards it. I'm proposing the same thing on Social Security. I think young people shold have the right to choose a personal Social Security insurance pl ... ah, savings account plan. And the Social Security actuary estimates that 95% of young people would pick a personal Social Security savings account over the current system but they would do so voluntarily, because we would empower them to make a choice, we wouldn't impose it on them. It's a question of how do you think we can get this country to move more rapidly towards reform? I think you can get it to move towards reform faster if you give people the right to choose."

Got It? TODAY! Your own link shows you to be either lying or stupid.

[editor-surveyor]

Blow out worm.

[TigersEye]

If you want to know what I think then follow my posts. It’s a waste of time replying to ad-hominem-throwing empty shirts.

[Hoodat]

I agree with his position on privatizing Social Security. But I do not support his position on everyone having insurance. No matter how he wants to do it, it is still a government mandate. It is not the government’s job to make sure I have health insurance. And I will not support candidates who believe otherwise. Newt is one of those candidates.

[Cindy of Nashville]

I love Newt. Always have. He is tenacious and that is what we need. Most of what people say about him is not true. He has been crucified by the msm for years because they are scared to death of him. He is a man of vision, no one could ever call him an empty suit.

[Lady Lucky]

My point, as you know very well, is that government is the means to repair government. It takes a president and a legislature to change things and that is why we are voting for them. The alternative is an unelected mob.
