    We get it Gaby, you're a Canadian busy body liberal who hates Newt...because he's a conservative. (not that your opinion really matters)

    But duly noted nonetheless.

  4. No. I respect Ron Paul, although I don't agree with him on a number of issues. I neither respect nor agree with Gingrich.

    So you'll be <s>voting</s> uh cheer leading for Paul instead of Gingrich, should they run.

    I'll alert the media.

  6. It all depends upon obama's objectives, from an economic perspective Newt is right, obama has dumb ideas.

    However dumb ideas sell quite nicely in the political arena.


    obama is expanding centralized govt just like fdr ( my favorite communist), it's all about the power of the elite, and the hell with the ramifications on the common citizen.

  7. Try to stay on point. Maintaining focus must be like herding cats for you.

    Newt: The man who made Clinton a good President.
    Look at a chart from after the 1994 midterm elections.....A significant change in the fundamentals. It was the end of 40 years of Dem house rule and in 5 years created a surplus.
