And I would laugh in your face at such a pathetic attempt to distract from the fact that he “served” in congress for 79 to 99 and has hovered around the edges ever since.

RINOS are nothing but manipulative lying bottom feeding scum who will happily hand a race to democrats just so they say “We told you so”.

He was shoveling the global warming manure way back in the 80s

1989: Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) co-sponsors the ambitious Global Warming Prevention Act (H.R. 1078), which finds that “the Earth’s atmosphere is being changed at an unprecedented rate by pollutants resulting from human activities, inefficient and wasteful fossil fuel use, and the effects of rapid population growth in many regions,” that “global warming imperils human health and well-being” and calls for policies “to reduce world emissions of carbon dioxide by at least 20 percent from 1988 levels by 2000.” The legislation recognizes that global warming is a “major threat to political stability, international security, and economic prosperity.” [H.R. 1078, 2/22/1989]

1992: Gingrich calls the environmental proposals in Al Gore’s book Earth in Balance “devastatingly threatening to most American pocketbooks and jobs.” [National Journal, 9/5/92]

1996: At a speech for the Detroit Economic Club, Gingrich mocks “Al Gore’s global warming,” citing “the largest snowstorm in New York City’s history”: “We were in the middle of budget negotiations; the football games were coming up and we noticed on the weather channel that an early symptom of Al Gore’s global warming was coming to the East Coast. And it does make you wonder sometimes, doesn’t it, how theoretical statisticians in the middle of the largest snowstorm in New York City’s history could stand there and say, ‘I don’t care what it’s doing. It’s going to get very hot soon.’” [FDCH Political Transcripts, 1/16/96]

1997: As Speaker of the House, Gingrich co-sponsors H. Con. Res. 151, which notes carbon dioxide is a “major greenhouse gas” that comes from “products whose manufacture consumes fossil fuels” and calls on the United States to “manage its public domain national forests to maximize the reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.” [H. Con. Res. 151, 9/10/1997]

2007: Gingrich calls for a cap-and-trade system with tax incentives for clean energy. “I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.” [Frontline, 2/15/07]

February 15, 2007: “I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.” [Frontline, 2/15/07]

In a debate on climate policy with Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Gingrich says “the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere,” and that we should “do it urgently.” [ThinkProgress, 4/10/07]

In a Washington Post chat, Gingrich rejects a cap-and-trade system, saying it “would lead to corruption, political favoritism, and would have a huge impact on the economy.” He says he supports “tax credits for dramatically reducing carbon emissions.” [Washington Post, 4/17/08]

2008: In an advertisement made for Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, Gingrich sat with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and said that “we do agree our country must take action to address climate change.” [We Campaign, 4/18/08]

“I don’t think that we have conclusive proof of global warming. And I don’t think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of it.” [Newt.org, 4/22/08]

April 4, 2009: “And now, in 2009, instead of making energy cheaper—which would help create jobs and save Americans money—President Obama wants to impose a cap-and-trade regime. Such a plan would have the effect of an across-the-board energy tax on every American. That will make our artificial energy crisis even worse—and raising taxes during a deep economic recession will only accelerate American job losses.” [Newsweek, 4/4/09]

Yeah, me too. No one likes the individual mandate. I know I don't. But it seems to me that the only recourse is to simply deny medical care to those that can not afford it. If you can come up with something please let me know.

I don't think we as a society will be able to get away with denying care to those that can not afford it.

I do think that if you got government out of the health care industry that cost would go way down fast. Seems whenever government gets involved in anything costs go up, way up.

[jpsb]

"And I would laugh in your face "

Wow, great argument, way to go!

[Logical me]

Stuff it! It is the polls that show Newt is becoming their favorite. Voters count, this crap does not.

[Vigilanteman]

Gingrich has been tagged by Willard Romney as the inspiration for Romneycare and eventually Obamacare’s requirement for a individual health care mandate which would require all of us to march lockstep into the clutches of a gray faceless socialist health care system.

You're right. And so is Willard, at least in this instance.

You can look it up, even if you use a way back machine to 1993.

[Josh Painter]

A guy finally comes along who shows he can beat Romney (check the latest NH Journal poll for New Hampshire) & Obama, and the stupids of The Stupid Party and the Conservative Purity Suicide Squad idiots try to destroy him.

Go figure...

[mylife]

medicaid.

So do you want Obamacare or do you not want it? You’re last paragraph says to get the government out of it, but your first one says to make the government force everyone to have it.

[jpsb]

I am just looking at the problem, I don’t have any solutions. I was hoping someone might have a solution.

[MHGinTN]

No, the hypocrite ids not correct, but that will not stop him/her/it from continuing to post the msicharacterizations.

here's the Newt Gingrich healthcare facts:

Newt sets the record straight on the mandate lie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEmh3s32Gfw&feature=relmfu

medicaid

I think medicaid is one of the programs driving up costs.

[MHGinTN]

Here's your sign, hypocrite:

[MHGinTN]

Honesty is not required when bashing Newt Gingrich, as amply shown in the various spittle we’re witnessing.

[MHGinTN]

Go to your nearest mirror. Then read your last sentence out loud as you look deeply into your own hypocritical eyes.

[faucetman]

The Newt we know. EXACTLY.

Ya know what? I am supporting Newt 100% until he wins or drops out. I don't care if he is accused of fondling boys 20-30 years ago. I don't care if Newt put his hand up some woman's skirt. I don't care that he sat on a couch with Pelosi. I don't care about whatever scandal comes along, legit or phony.

I have had it with the news media, through their scandal mongering, choosing our candidate. WHY ARE WE LISTENING TO THEM? Why are we listening to the country club Republicans?

Almost all accusations can be explained or forgiven. Many are just plain lies! We have to STOP playing along with the media and trashing our own candidates.

Newt's company made millions from consulting. WHO CARES? If he hadn't, how much more money would you have in your pocket? NOT A CENT.

THE PAST is just that, PASSED. I only care what Newt says from now on. I want to hire him to do a JOB. That is it! For this “time” he is the best man for the job. Baggage, Smaggage, I DON'T CARE! WHAT IS HE SAYING NOW? WHAT IS HE DOING NOW? That is what matters. What are his ideas for fixing our country. What executive orders will he sign within the hour of being sworn in? (Newt.org).

It is time to quit SCREWING AROUND and get behind Newt.

Face it, Romney & Newt are the choices. Cain is DONE. Perry is DONE. The rest are nowhere. Many here say they don't like Newt, but would not hesitate to vote for him if he were the nominee. Instead of beating him up ( the left, media, and RINOs will keep doing that), let's rally around Newt. Let's get this party started. All attacks from now on to be against OBAMA.

Newt isn't the lesser of two evils, he's just the best man for the job, from the field we have to choose from.

Newt can WIN. Obama’s worst nightmare.....debating Newt. Newt will show moderates, independents, and democrats just how STUPID Obama really is. (Conservatives already know this)

[C. Edmund Wright]

Well damn, let me know how you REALLY feel. /s

[mylife]

Yeah, because its government run.
