Gingrich — one of the original architects of the 1994 Contract with America — said his new “21st Century Contract with America” will be revealed on Sep. 29 and will be “very visionary” and “very big.” He called it “exactly what Abraham Lincoln would have campaigned on.”

Gingrich promised to lay out a “very visionary” new Contract with America during a speech next week in Iowa. It “will be 10 times deeper and more comprehensive than 1994,” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63912.html#ixzz1YW1XX7D7

"If we end up with two or three more economic shocks, for example if Greece goes bankrupt or the Euro starts decaying, or if the Middle East begins to get much more difficult and you start having real problems with the price of oil, I think it would not take much for some very senior Democrats to say, you know, we are prepared to mount a campaign and field a candidate against you." http://www.breitbart.tv/newt-predicts-primary-obama-primary-challenge/

"Gingrich, who has criticized debate moderators on more than one occasion recently, said he’s for figuring out “some model by which some people could actually have rational conversations.”

For reasons that are still inexplicable, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library agreed to partner up with NBC News, parent organization of the uber-left-wing network MSNBC to televise tonight's Republican presidential debate. While NBC representative Brian Williams had more than his share of sneering biased questions, it was Williams's co-moderator, Politico editor John F. Harris who laid on the snark in his attempts to bait and attack the candidates. Such unbalanced questioning is par-for-the-course for Republicans competing at the national level. More often than not, they take it in stride. Tonight, though, Newt Gingrich was having none of it...

Reagan Library Debate -- Newt Gingrich received the loudest applause for this comment.

Been a long time since I've been a Newt fan. In the clip he is magnificent.

As reported in the Boston Globe and as seen in the New Hampshire debate video, both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich believe it is perfectly okay for the federal government to mandate that every private sector worker in the United States pay forced-dues to labor unions as a condition of getting or keeping a job. Attention Mr. Romney and Mr. Gingrich: Right To Work is not a states’ rights issue, it is a freedom issue. The Federal government should not mandate compulsory unionism. It appears that Forced Unionism is a Big Government idea that Newt & Mitt embrace. In fact,...

Four presidential candidates have accepted invitations to participate in a Labor Day forum in South Carolina being organized by Sen. Jim DeMint, a conservative kingmaker who has yet to pick a horse in the 2012 race. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and businessman Herman Cain have agreed to take part in the Palmetto Freedom Forum, to be held on Sept. 5 at a convention center in downtown Columbia. Invitations to the event went out to eight candidates Monday, a Republican source told CNN. Also invited were former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former...

2012 candidate Newt Gingrich on market volatility, president’s leadership. Part 2 http://video.foxnews.com/v/1117093010001/wall-streets-rough-day-part-2/?playlist_id=86924 Part 1 http://video.foxnews.com/v/1117092997001/wall-streets-rough-day-part-1/?playlist_id=86924

More Jobs, More Revenue, More American Energy: A Bipartisan Opportunity Washington is so stuck in partisanship and ideological warfare that our representatives are missing easy opportunities for bipartisan solutions that would actually make things better for all Americans. A thousand small solutions may be preferable to a magic committee of twelve trying to create a gigantic (and almost certainly bad) deal. House Republicans could take a creative step toward a bipartisan, thousand-solution strategy by passing a bill supported by Senate Democrats the first week they return to Washington. Virginia Democratic Senators Mark Warner and Jim Webb have created such a...

Following his blistering critique in last week’s debate in Iowa, former House speaker Newt Gingrich still thinks the newly established deficit “supercommittee” is one of the worst ideas ever conceived in Washington. In a speech at the Heritage Foundation today, the embattled presidential candidate put forward a host of ideas that he believes will yield far better results. “I’m going to say things that are very bold,” Gingrich warned the audience at the onset. “Boldness is sometimes exactly what we need.” Indeed, Gingrich went after what he described as Washington’s “intellectual” deficiencies, meaning the inability to embrace sweeping changes that...

Bachman bests Paul. Pawlenty third. Romney fourth. Works for me!

During last night's GOP debate, good old Newt Gingrich got a little pissy with Chris Wallace's "Gotcha" questions. Well, newsflash Mr. Speaker, every candidate up on that stage were victims of "Gotcha" questions. You're nothing special. What was the "Gotcha" question? Newt, why did your entire campaign staff abandon you? After indulging in a rather lengthy "Gotcha" question dodge, he accused Wallace of playing "Mickey Mouse games." And Wallace's response: “If you think questions about your record are Mickey Mouse, I’m sorry, I think those are questions a lot of people want to hear answers to, and you’re responsible for...

During the day long infomercial for Mitt Romney that is Fox News, I caught several appearances by Chris Wallace conducting damage control after the can of Whoop-ass Newt Gingrich opened upon him in last night’s GOP debate. His political pundit colleagues were helping to prop him up by agreeing that his now infamous question was perfectly legitimate. They are all contending that asking Gingrich what he “has to say to people who say” that his “campaign is a disaster” – was not a “gotcha question”. Wallace has a track record of insulting candidates he apparently dislikes by superficially framing his...

While there seems to be some debate over who won the Republican debate in Ames, Iowa, there seems to be consensus on who lost: Fox News in general and Chris Wallace specifically. In the mind of many conservatives, the Fox questioners did their best MSNBC impersonations by peppering the candidates with tough yet mostly meaningless irrelevancies. Folks are asking what good are tough questions if they are meaningless? I submit they are of no use at all. Which brings up another question: what is the point of a debate anyway? Or an interview for that matter? The point should be...
