. Guatemala and Mexico agreed this week to make it even easier for people to show up at the American border. That's right: EASIER. After all the public outcry against thousands of foreigners crossing our border, you might have thought the Mexican government would help stop the wave of people traversing Mexico to get to Texas. That would be a good neighbor policy. On Monday, however, the presidents of Guatemala and Mexico met to announce a new policy of making it easier and more orderly for citizens of Belize, Guatemala and Honduras to travel through Mexico to the United States. This "Safe Passage" program will create a 72 hour window for Central Americans to transit Mexico to try to get into the United States. This is clearly a bad neighbor policy. It is hard for most Americans to understand how the president of a country can openly encourage people to flee his country and try to move into another country. For most nations that would be a sign of enormous failure. The president of Guatemala, however, seems eager to facilitate the thousands of people fleeing his country. On June 20, Vice President Biden visited Guatemala and warned the Guatemalan president that the U.S. would enforce deportation of Guatemalans who sought to enter this country. Biden was apparently as believable in Guatemala as Obama has been in Syria, Iraq, Crimea, Ukraine and a dozen other foreign policy failures. The contempt foreign governments display toward the Obama administration (and therefore toward the United States) is breathtaking. This week, of course, President Obama was busy shooting pool, ordering pizza, and shaking hands with a man in a horse mask. How could we ask him to pay attention to the alliance of Guatemala and Mexico against the United States? The flood of foreigners is going to accelerate. The costs are going to rise dramatically. The contempt for the Obama administration is going to continue to grow. This is a recipe for disaster. Your Friend, ~Newt Gingrich, 2012

No, playing 0b0z0 for a fool which is easily done.
Ive got a problem, I get in those meetings and as a person I like the president. I melt when Im around him.”
-Newt Gingrich on Bill Clinton, the man whose presidency he saved.
No!!!!!
Not the chart again!!!
We’ll have to hear from the intellectually unfortunate about that and all its purdy colors.
Please God, make Newt Speaker again...
Maybe but, there’d be no “Contract with America” without the both of them...
Good for Gingrich on this one, although in the past he’s contributed to the problem himself. But, he’s doing the right thing on this one.
Yes, but after ‘95 Ginrich abandoned that and tried to strong arm the House out of pursuing a conservative agenda.
Hillary fears Gingrich 0%, because you and I both know, if she told him to get out of the race, he would do roll over so she could rub his belly. If he were the candidate in 2016, he would just be another RINO pushover like his brethren Romney and McCain. Even the pathetic Jeb Bush has more claim to be a conservative than Toffler Gingrich.
She probably hates everybody. The point is Gingrich LOVES Hillary. I remember his stupid flirting towards her with Connie Chung. If Gingrich runs, it's only because Hillary needs him to get 70% in the election.
Newt needs to be the voice in the ear implant of some dashing young conservative, with good hair and no baggage.
Just as he should have been last time.
I agree with you 100% on Newt. He was my 2012 pick.
I would still vote for him.
I think one of his problems is he has a knack for damning photo ops.
Gingrich was the founder of of the GOPe. The Romneys, Christies, and Jeb Bush’s of the world wouldn’t even be here, without Gingrich. He spent the 80’s bashing Reagan, and when he took over as speaker, he overturned Reaganism. He killed social conservatism and gave us the Cochran-type GOP we have today. If anything, the Tea Party represents a strike back against the Gingrized GOP.
Wow, you have totally swallowed the GOPe line.
"The sense of our overpowering belief in Reagan as the most effective president since FDR is probably not retainable." - Newt Gingrich 1987
What do you swallow? And from who? Or is it whom?
I won’t swallow leftism repackaged as conservatism. I won’t swallow the Romney/Gingrich version of the Republican Party.
But you do swallow nevertheless.
