Newt Gingrich: Big ideas for big debate tonight

Newt Gingrich promised ahead of the Republican presidential debate in Arizona on Wednesday night that voters will witness the return of “big solutions” Gingrich and that he plans to leave the negativity backstage.

“I think you’re going to see the person I’ve been in 15 out of 17 debates, which is focus on the big solutions, talk with the American people and try to stay out of the kind of negativity that unfortunately has characterized way too much of this race,” Gingrich said on Fox News when asked what kind of candidate people can expect to see at the Mesa, Ariz., debate.

Gingrich explained that his daughters, Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman, had expressed worries about the negative tone that the recent GOP debates had taken on.

“They were concerned, correctly so, that the weight of negative advertising by Romney had drawn us into a kind of back-and-forth that wasn’t particularly helpful,” the former House speaker said. “I think what people want to know is, are you capable of solving the country’s problems, are you willing to change Washington decisively?”

He added, “My two daughters Kathy and Jackie wanted to see me focus more on the big solutions that will make their lives and our grandchildren’s lives better, and not to get involved in the normal back-and-forth between candidates.”

Wednesday’s debate, hosted by CNN and the Republican Party of Arizona, is scheduled to be the last showdown before Super Tuesday.

You’re right we may deserve nothing less than we deserve Newt Gingrich. We do however deserve a lot better.

That Big Government loving, Nancy Pelosi spooning, global warming, ACORN endorsing Whack Job. Newt should write some more books about space mirrors and moon colonies and leave politics to the grown ups.

I feel your pain, I hear your cries.

It must be tough to see your Saint crash and burn like he did, and we both know your pain will get worse as he continues to tank.

You have my sympathy......

President Newt Gingrich—”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”

If The Rickster does crash and burn because the left and the RINO’s have discovered that our society is at the point where you can successfully take down a man by mocking his Christianity, then Romney will be the benefficiary, because Big Government, Big Spending, DeDe Scozzafava endorsing, influence peddeling Newt Gingrich has already crashed and burned for the last time.

Newt’s parents must have been clarvoyant since they named him after a a slimy creature that lives under rocks.

Newt = 2 million in “history consulting fees” from Fannie Mae
Newt = Global Warming nut
Newt = Dede Scozzafava (Co-endorsemt with ACORN)
Newt = Nancy Pelosi on a couch
Newt = Big Solutions like Mirrors in Space.....

When did his two daughters become so important to Newt? Just asking.

Typical liberal smear. Ugly on a stick.
