Then again, when you really think about it, it's nothing more than a typical play from the Republican playbook.

Create an enemy. Scare the people. The boogeyman is out there! Communists, Muslims and gays, oh my!

It isn't about communism...it's about a socialist view of the America Obama wants. Big difference there.

Facts are facts. you can ignore them...you can try to make the republicans the boogeyman...you can call Newt a racist...you can do any number of things to take the focus off of the FACT the Obama and his socialist agenda is a failure.

If you listen to Newt speak, you will hear what a real leader sounds like. This is your future....embrace it and let the improvements speak for themselves.

LMAO...Newt is just the regurgitated PAST...a past of Reaganomics which has proven to be a total failure...Newt brings absolutely nothing of substance to the table...he needs to crawl back into his cave.

Do you even have an inkling of what the word means? He's not only a hypocrite, he's a witch-hunting hypocrite.

Uh, WHY, in your opinion, are companies sitting on record amounts of cash? And are youy really suggesting a climate that allows a company like GE to make huge profits and pay no taxes on those profits is a bad business climate? What would you suggest? Government bow down and pay companies like GE for their mere existence?

It was time of prosperity for all.

The word of DEMOCRATS who promised to cut spending $6 for every $1 of tax increases during that time was the total failure, not Reagan. They broke their promise to Reagan and the People, that right there was your big FAIL. Democrat FAIL, then like now.

Reagan was a huge failure in growing the very government he told us was the problem.

Not at all, what he said of Obama is 100% accurate and his direction for the country along with Democrats proves it.


Uh, WHY, in your opinion, are companies sitting on record amounts of cash? Because things change by the minute with Obama and they are afraid of his anti-business actions. They will wait till he is gone to do major things.
And are you really suggesting a climate that allows a company like GE to make huge profits and pay no taxes on those profits is a bad business climate? What would you suggest? Define the specifics that lead to GE paying no taxes. You do know that they might be writing off losses of the past years against this years gains (allowed by law) meaning they own no taxes because over the last few years combined they could have been income neutral or worse.
Tell me what the situation is.
Government bow down and pay companies like GE for their mere existence?
I don't give a rat's ass about GE, but we need specifics, not just one year and a dramatic monologue.
Companies are allowed to take losses and gains over many years to help them stay afloat.
I think you have been watching too many tele-novelas.

Again, you got that ass-backward and are spinning it probably for left wing purposes.

You can verify this in the news, the net, in history and so forth.
These are the facts that exist in the world.

#1 Reagan made a deal to raise taxes with Democrats if they agreed to cut so many dollars of spending for each dollar of new tax brought in.

#2 Deal for the new tax came in and for every dollar of new tax, the Democrats INCREASED spending by three or more dollars instead of cutting ANY spending at all.
That was a Democrat majority that did that, not Reagan.

You have the facts wrong, I suggest a google search away from the political pages for verification of your own.

And when you find YOU ARE WRONG and you ARE WRONG, are you going to give up on Democrats?

Newt represents what WORKS. And it sure as hell isn't national healthcare...or throwing as much money as the printing presses can print at banks or bankrupt 'GREEN' industries like Solyndra.

The only CAVE Newt will hopefully be crawling into is the cave some of us know as the OVAL OFFICE...after that failure who occupies it now has vacated.

You left wingers have absolutely NOTHING to brag about with the buffoon you put in the White House in 2008. He has literally spent us into oblivion. He gave the order to GO on Bin laden....big deal... that plan was in progress long before he took office. What else does he have? Nothing...that's what. unless you want to subscribe to his continuous blaming of BUSH 3 years after he has been fumbling and bumbling along as the POTUS. When does that all stop? Does he need another term before anyone starts attributing this mess to HIM and not BUSH??....maybe after 7 years he will forget about blaming Bush??

He had 2 full years with absolute control....him in the WH and BOTH houses of congress controlled by democrats....and what do we have to show for it?? MORE unemployment than when he took office....double the debt from when he took office....NO solutiion to illegal immigration....and a national healthcare bill that 60+% of Americans didn't want then and still DON'T want. And that is only after TWO YEARS....not to even mention the 3rd year we are just finishing.

You leftwingdings make me sick. You look at Newt Gingrich and declare he should crawl back in a cave. You don't hear what he says because you are so focused on the buffoon you elected in 2008, that you simply dismiss all other points of view....as has always been the liberal way when you encounter points of view contrary to your own.

Obama has done NOTHING but sink this country into the muck...and YOU and the rest of the lefties still praise him. I find that to be partisan stupidity, and the time for such antiquated thought processes has long ago passed. It's time for ALL of us to think of what is best for this country...and OBAMA has had 3 years to prove to us that he isn't the answer. Certainly going back to a more conservative approach to governence is a logical next step since the current direction is obviously completely WORNG.

If you gave a damn about this country...and had solid arguments to show that what Obama was doing is the right way to go, then I might still disagree with you but could understand your support. But the truth is that none of you have anything positive to say about the Obama presidency. All you can do is rip on the republican candidates, and you see that as proof that your man...Obama.....is superior. That is your battle plan. And who can blame you? What ELSE have you got other than an offensive strategy?? Clearly...the answer is NOTHING.

RCCB...you will find that pointing out facts to people like the one you are trying to school in your reply, is a waste of time. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink...and when you encounter a creature such as this one who obviously does not have the capacity to see the truth OR even think for himself in a logical way, then it is best to not bother wasting time on it.

Maybe take a few pictures of it before moving on because it is truly an oddity. Such creatures are actually GIVEN the tools to learn and understand, but there are a percentage that simply do not employ those gifts... and after time, they disappear.

I'm not a big Obama fan myself,but Newt is absolutely worthless for anything other than hypocrit/philandering and insider trading jokes...his chances of beating Obama is pretty slim on all fronts...he is a failure and the stereotypical politician that has brought this country to where it is today...hypocrisy,lies and greed....he could be the poster boy.
