The Tofflers were a couple of old folks who couldn't figure out how to program their VCRs, so they began writing about the "shock" of technology and how we needed government planning to deal with technological overload.

Their big idea was that the world was about to change faster than it ever had before, creating a technological explosion that would frighten and baffle the masses -- much like the bewildering VCR clock. The government would have to have advisers and committees in order to ease the transition.

Hmmm, Coulter must have written this last Saturday:

Pretty good Ann.

But I'm still not voting for Romney.

Yeah, we know. Ann likes Mitt. She’s right about Newt, though. And don’t give me any false choice between Newt, Mitt and Obama. There are others.

Ann’s not going to persuade me to go Romney, but the JBS was pointing out Gingrich’s associations with the Toffler’s well over a decade ago.

In years past I would have read any article by Coulter, but she no longer has any credibility with me.

Once she came out in support for Romney, she lost me, completely.

I’m not sure that she isn’t crazy, heck, I’m no longer sure that she isn’t a man.

Vote for Newt.......

” - - - It was also a Toffler-inspired idea that led Gingrich to propose giving poor families a tax credit to buy computers - - - “

In my book, Nanny-Newt is a Nanny-State True Believer, RINO, Rockefeller-Republican, TR Progressive, the-State-is-infallible, professional politician.

BTW, who are you cheering on to victory? Hope it is not someone who believes in the failed fantasy of “Nannyism.”

I believe that this is only the tip of the iceberg with Newt too. Like I have said, he can rattle off some great sound-bytes in support of the Constitution. Then he turns around and goes postal against it. Beats anything I’ve ever seen.

I wish I could support him, but I’m not about to.

Anne, I love you, but I’ll never vote for RINOmney.

Not now.

Not evah!

Get over him, he’ll just fail you. (He has a long and enviable record of doing just that.)

The Tofflers' recommendation that children be eased into the coming technological revolution with adult mentors sounds like the proposal of Clinton's surgeon general, Joycelyn Elders, that schools teach teenagers to masturbate. In both subject areas, the children can teach their elders a few tricks.

ROTFL!

No way will I support Newt. He’s a republican megalomaniac.

Complaining about paling around with Al Sharpton?

Her point is what? That Newt’s a big government solutions guy? And, Mitt is the antithesis thereof? Tedious!

Newt’s not the only one who has a past — Rick Perry was a top supporter and campaign organizer for Al Gore’s presidential campaign back in 1988. And the old saw “older but wiser” comes to mind.

Dear Ann,

With my favorite Palin not running, your favorite Christie not running, Bachmann stumbling at the gate, Perry shooting himself in the foot, Cain dropping out, Santurum and Huntsman (who?) bringing up the rear, this race is now boiling down to Newt vs Romney. I don't particularly like it but comparatively speaking, if Newt has warts, when it comes to abortion, gay rights, liberal judges, big government programs, mandates, running a state government into the ground, running a state party into the ground, etc, etc, Mitt has Leprosy.

At least Newt did support Ronald Reagan and the Reagan Revolution. He did build a successful Republican majority. He did cut taxes, did reduce the deficit, did balance the budget, did block HillaryCare, did reform welfare, did allow us to reap the whirlwind of the Reagan economy.

Romney saddled Massachusetts with budget busting RomneyCare, taxpayer funded "safe and legal" abortion, gay marriage, leftist judges and a completely destroyed Republican label. And RomneyCare did become the model and impetus for ObamaCare.

Not to mention the fact that Newt has the support of the Republican conservative base and the grassroots tea party supporters:

Romney has the support of the establishment elite and shares the moderate/liberal RINO vote:

Who you gonna call?

Love always,

Jim

I still think that Newt will be able to handle himself verbally better then Romney will and by that he will be able to call out just how much Obama and the Democrats have failed these past 4 years and also put the Sub-prime Mortgage debacle right straight Smack Dab on the Democrats! Newt is just a much better debater and he's on Fire now that he can taste the possible thought of Victory! Allen West would be good choice for V.P.

If this guy ever became president, he could end up foisting EST on the nation.

What's so horrible about Eastern Standard Time? ;-)

(A rather outdated reference there, Ann. A large portion of the "younger GOP supporters" referenced in this article have no idea what that is.)

This is exactly why I have also been saying that Newt cannot help being Newt. He talks about all the dumb things he’s done, even recently, but still goes on doing them. He cannot think things through to see any consequences, apparently, but then he apologizes for things he does as being dumb. That’s nice, and had it been a couple isolated incidences several years ago, then I’d be saying let’s let bygones be bygones and move forward. But he continually does this stuff. Infuriates the YOU KNOW WHAT out of everybody. Let him get the nomination and he trips up. A lot of people would stay home. I just know it.
