You conveniently failed to mention the part about Newt describing Ryan’s plan as “radical right-wing social engineering” Oh and if being opposed to Newt’s plan to put giant mirrors in space to combat non-existent global warming or being opposed to spending trillions on a moon base at a time when almost 1/2 of every dollar the government spends is borrowed, makes me “no friend of economic or national security” then your support of those things makes you no friend of sanity.
Come on...
If we can’t have an honest debate on FR, we are in bad shape.
The response Newt made about “right wing social engineering” was not a critique of Ryan’s plan. He had previously complimented Ryan on his plan on not one, but two national MSM appearances. On a third (or fourth) appearance, he was asked how a mandate by Republicans was different from a mandate by the libs/progressives. Ryan’s plan, as I understand it was NOT a mandate. Gingrich’s response was that “right wing social engineering is just as bad as left wing social engineering” (think Romney care).
As usual, the lib/progressive media cabal took his comment out of context, and claimed it was a direct critique of Ryan’s plan. It wasn’t. Same “Palinization” template the media has consistently applied to Newt throughout his career.
Proving once again that “a lie can go ‘round the world before the truth can get it’s pants on.”
Get a accurate argument, please.
