“If that is the case and he thinks there is an elite class who should wield power in government...I don’t want a big government thinker like Gingrich having all the goodies that Bush and Obama put into play at his disposal.”

Sheesh, this gets tiring. Have you read Gingrichs’s Contract with America?

Government and Operational Reforms

On the first day of their majority in the House, the Republicans promised to pass eight major reforms:

1) require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
2) select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
3) cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
4) limit the terms of all committee chairs;
5) ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
6) require committee meetings to be open to the public;
7) require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
8) guarantee an honest accounting of the Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

” - - - Have you read Gingrichs’s Contract with America?”
