GREENVILLE, S.C. Newt Gingrich was confronted by a black man outside Tommy's Country Ham House, who questioned him on his comments on having poor children work as janitors.
The man said what Gingrich was asking for amounted to a "new form of slavery" and would force young African Americans to drop out of school.

Most Repubs shrink from confrontation. Gingrich revels in it. *************
That alone makes Newt worth electing to the top office.
Forget about his personal foibles, his changes of direction, his ethics investigations or anything else. Perfection belongs only to God.
After all these years of spineless Republican surrender-monkeys (would Newt have backed down on the debt increase?) it's time we had a REAL fighter in the ring! Time for the good guys to win a few rounds, for a change!

Must’ve kept you up all night thinking that one up! The point remains the same.
If you don’t anything better to respond, then don’t send a response.

the point is you showed how to make a fool of yourself by doing a drive by comment based on a headline that showed you had no idea what the actual article was about....or wait....you posted an aticle that you had no idea what i was about.
Abject foolishness on your part.
To: C. Edmund Wright
First, let me review what I posted. I believe that it went something like this -
Caving to stupid crap like this is what keeps Sharpton propped up.
Newt should have kept on walking. This is a no-win situation. Whether you like it or agree with it or not is immaterial, my comments still apply in general to ALL conservative politicians, REGARDLESS of whether they apply specifically to Newt or the article.
Secondly, you decided to butt-in with what you perceived to be a clever remark about something that was neither addressed to you nor had anything to do with you.
So, if you want to see what foolish looks like, look in the mirror!

You posted something that made you look like an idiot. If you want to keep your next idiotic post between you and just one other person, why don’t you use “PRIVATE” setting.
Everything else is fair game. If you can’t take the heat.....
To: C. Edmund Wright
You have posted the following to me -

I gave you an award. (For which I thanked you, BTW)
you posted an aticle that you had no idea what i (sic) was about.

While I appreciate your concern for my reputation, it's none of your business. If I look like a fool, then that's MY choice, NOT yours!! If you are going to go around FR critiquing ALL of the posts with which you disagree or dislike, you are not only going to be a VERY busy busybody, you will continue to prove that you are the self-appointed FR posting police!!
If you AREN'T going to go around critiquing ALL of the posts on FR with which you disagree or dislike, why did you decide to pick on me?? Slow day??
