Newt is Right

Newt Gingrich's apology on Tuesday to Rep. Paul Ryan, Representative from Wisconsin, for calling his Medicare plan "radical" and "right-wing engineering." Gingrich's so called "gaffes" were a series of comments he made on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, in which he said "I don't think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering... I don't think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate." He also argued that Ryan's 2012 budget proposal - and, namely, its plan for Medicare - was "radical change" and that we "need a national conversation to get to a better Medicare solution for seniors.

Put the pitchforks down. Call off the lynch mob for a second. Let's think about this. The fact of the matter is that any plan that attempts to do anything other than remove entitlement programs is nothing more than Left Wing Social Engineering. Medicare, Medicaid and Welfare are all entitlement programs manufactured by liberal progressives.

So why is Gringrich apologizing? Since when is it inappropriate to suggest that we need a national conversation? Isn't that an expected practice, or is it more acceptable to allow politicians to parade around with their brilliant plans without questioning their validity? It's certainly easier to regurgitate a few spoon-fed bullet points then it is to review the entire plan with a red pen. Hmmmm?

Maybe conservatives should take a step back, grow a little skin and ask Newt, "What's your plan?"

Maybe conservatives should take a step back, grow a little skin and ask Newt, “What’s your plan?” Or maybe conservatives are just tired of hearing Newt undermine the principles they have fought so hard to bring back into the fray. Many have said that these gaffes are unforgivable. That Newt will never be president because of these comments. Unfortunately, Gingrich ruined any chance he had at becoming a Republican nominee for anything when he said, “The era of Reagan is over” and his recent “gaffes” are evidence of his true beliefs.

There is absolutely no need to engage Newt in any dialog. He obviously said what *HE* wanted to say on meet the press. Now, it is even more obvious that he’s desperately saying whatever he thinks *WE* want him to say.

No thanks Newtie. We’ve seen your act before.

To anyone who would afford Newt one American penny of support, or attempt to defend his bravo-sierra, or even champion his campaign, I have to ask - in all seriousness - what the heck are you lacing your marijuana with??!! Because it’s completely suppressing the good common sense the LORD surely gave you!
