CNN reported that Gingrich is planning several major speeches in the coming days, and one will be at the space coast in Florida speaking about on space. Looking forward to hearing them. Basically his speeches are about a positive outlook for America into the future.

What the hay? I might as well be the first to open up Newt's personal Pandora's Box. Here's a tidbit for the conservative, right wing, tea party, base that is so enamored of him at the moment.

Who was the very first politician of either party to officially come out in favor and support of the "Individual Mandate" for health insurance?????

Why it was Newt Gingrich. Yes, that most hated and despised feature of Obamacare, the individual mandate, was first proposed by none other than Newt Gingrich in a house speech in 1993 when he was the house minority whip. He got the idea from a paper written by The Heritage Foundation and was the first politician to officially propose the individual mandate in the legislature. His exact quote was......

"I am for people, individuals-exactly like automobile insurance-having health insurance and being required to have health insurance."

Things that make you go Hmmmm........

You're wrong. Liberals aren't afraid of Newt. Liberals like myself are actually giddy that Newt is running strong in the Republican primary. His rhetoric pushes the Republican party so far to the right that whoever ends up the nominee will be crushed on election day by the independents who will flock to Obama in sheer disgust of the New Nazi....I mean....Republican party.

One thing is certain though, Newt Gingrich is No Ronald Reagan.
