BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to get a couple sound bites in, otherwise Cookie's gonna resign. I'm gonna pick a couple of Newt just letting the media have it. I love these. This is during the debate. Jim Cramer, who escaped from the zoo to moderate the debate said, "Speaker Gingrich, do you think that companies can both be profitable and be able to create jobs? You think that's a dichotomy?" This why I'm asking, "How did he get out of the zoo?" Do you think a company could be profitable and create jobs? Even if this is a trick question that's pathetic. Ever heard of Apple? Can a company be profitable and create jobs? Here's Newt.
GINGRICH: What is amazing to me is the inability of much of our academic world, much of our news media, and most of the people on Occupy Wall Street to have a clue about history. In this town Henry Ford started as an Edison Electric supervisor who went home at night and built his first car in the garage. Now, was he in the 99% or the 1%? Bill Gates drops out of college to found Microsoft. Is he in the 1% or the 99%? Historically this is the richest country in the history of the world because corporations succeed in creating both profits and jobs, and it's sad that the news media doesn't report accurately how the economy works.
RUSH: We cut the applause, by the way, for economy of time here, but they went nuts over that. But to have to explain that, I know it might be helpful because how many dunderheads don't think it's possible to be profitable and create jobs, but there's the question, and he answered it. So next it was Maria Bartiromo, CNBC, who was not happy that Newt ripped into media. They had this little tete-a-tete.
BARTIROMO: What is the media reporting inaccurately about the economy?
GINGRICH: What? (laughter)
BARTIROMO: What is the media reporting inaccurately about the economy?
GINGRICH: I love humor disguised as a question. That's terrific. I have yet to hear a single reporter ask a single Occupy Wall Street person a single rational question about the economy that would lead them to say, for example, who's gonna pay for the park you're occupying if there are no businesses making a profit? (applause/cheers)
RUSH: Right on, right on, right on. And Maria Bartiromo, she's not necessarily a commie babe, I mean she understands how the economy works. What's the media reporting inaccurately about the economy? Try everything! And you wouldn't be far wrong.
END TRANSCRIPT
Newt is a conservative and an intellectual giant that is imminently qualified to be POTUS. That's what I care about.
There is a difference between thinking about a sinful act and committing it. The latter will get the adulterer and adulteress stoned. The former is a prelude to the potential act. So deny it and its offspring.
Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death (James 1:14-15).
I just recently rediscovered this verse:
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (Romans 13:14).
Jesus wrote the Law. (see Leviticus 20:10). Thoughts about adultery do not get one stoned. Committing adultery does.
Sounds like a difference to me.
I was wrong about Newt’s present wife having been working for him at the time they started their affair. She worked for a different congressman.
These are such strange times anything is possible.
Once Paul Ryan opted out - I didn’t have a dog in the race other than trying to identify the best conservative.
If you asked me last week who I’d pull the lever for in a primary? Santorum.
This week? Cain
If my candidate doesn’t make it through the process and Newt gets nominated? I’ll certainly vote for him over Obama.
I’d guess he’d mop the floor with Obama during the debates no matter what his “baggage” is.
The good thing is...it’s already out, so it won’t become an October surprise next year.

You wrote: Sin is sin. No matter the form, it is unacceptable to Almighty God except for the cleansing Blood of Jesus which washes us from all iniquity.
This is NOT the point being argued. Both are sins. However, one sin is a "sin unto death" (stoning).
Love it! Thanks
