I suggest this line for Newt to use against Santorum.

“Frankly, I’m a little disappointed in him. I taught him to think bigger and be bolder than this.”

Time to put the junior partner and Skipper Newt’s “little buddy” in his place.

GINGRICH: Well, I don't know. I think the biggest thing that separates us is the degree to which I'm prepared to make a very, very large change, whether it's a national energy policy designed to drive the price of gasoline down below $2.50 a gallon, and to make sure that no future president bows to a Saudi king, or there's a personal Social Security savings account for young people, so they can have a buildup of money they control, that they're in charge of, that no politician can touch; or it's going to zero capital gains [tax] and 100% expensing for all new equipment, so you really have a dramatic rebirth of the American economy. There are a number of areas where I think I'm probably much bolder than Senator Santorum, but in a sense, we both represent a much more conservative wing of the [Republican] Party than does Governor Romney, who represents a kind of northeastern moderatism.

Worth posting again!

Godspeed Newt.

Looks to me like Obama has adopted Iran as his favorite nation. If he has loyalty to anything, it is to Islam. He shows no loyalty to anything besides Islam.

What about Santorum getting in a wrestling ring to praise Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer? Well, I guess nobody’s perfect:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2848555/posts?q=1&;page=51

Newt explained all about his views on global warming in this recent radio interview with Dana Loesch:

http://www.breitbart.tv/newt-hammers-wapo-in-dana-loesch-interview/

This is from Newt’s site regarding global warming and the couch ad:

http://www.newt.org/answers#GlobalWarming

Global Warming/Cap and Trade

Newt does not believe there is a settled scientific conclusion about whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere.

Newt absolutely opposes “cap and trade” as well as any system of taxing carbon emissions. He testified before Congress against it in 2009 and led a grassroots effort while the Chairman of American Solutions to block its passage in the House and Senate.

Newt believes that cap and trade would kill hundreds of thousands of American jobs, cause electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, and make America poorer. In contrast, Gingrich believes the best way to protect the environment is through markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs, who quite often are deploying innovative new technologies.

As for the question of whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere, Newt has noted there is no settled scientific conclusion. Many scientists believe it is the case. Others do not. But this unsettled scientific question has nothing to do with the best approach to protecting our environment, which is always markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs creating better and more efficient products and services.

Q: So why did Newt do the ad with Nancy Pelosi in 2007 calling for action to address climate change?

Newt does not believe there is a settled scientific conclusion about whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere.

Through his entire career, Newt has supported pro-market, pro-entrepreneur, innovative solutions to our environmental challenges, which he believes are superior to the liberal pro-bureaucracy, pro-tax, pro-regulation approach to the environment.

Newt believes that conservatives cannot be absent from the conversation about the environment and instead that conservatives must offer and explain why conservative solutions are better. Unfortunately, the attempt to get that message out through the ad with Nancy Pelosi failed. On November 8, 2011, Newt told FOX News’ Bret Baier that doing that commercial with Pelosi was “probably the dumbest single thing I’ve ever done”.

Newt will continue to oppose the Democrats’ destructive cap-and-trade and carbon tax proposals, continue to support expanded domestic oil and gas drilling, and continue to fight for a fundamental replacement of the job-killing Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Solutions Agency.

Thanks for the link, Tiger! I'd be happier if Newt just stated flat-out that the whole damned thing is "snake oil science," as Palin puts it (and she's right), but I'm satisfied with what Newt has figured out: clearly Gingrich is poised to halt the steamroller of environmentalist regulation. Thanks for a link to retire the old lie about Newt, who in fact has also argued eloquently against cap and trade (I saw that link somewhere on FR, too).

Godspeed Newt!

I am hoping that Newt is our candidate. He can kick Zero to the curb of the White House.
My fear is his number of lazy, useless, spineless, gutless, etc., voters he has.

Thanks. I get tired of hearing that trivial criticism. I swear I posted the same thing to the same poster a couple of months ago. Maybe not.

Newt is right on Soc Sec and the Galveston plan. Santorum is wrong. Why shouldn't younger workers have the right to invest a portion of THEIR OWN MONEY into an alternate stock or bond rather than have the "untrustworthy" govt have control?

What has the govt controlled that has been sucessful? besides their own pensions?

LITTLE RICKY ENDORSES SPECTOR

In my opinion this pic is much more damning than the Newt/Pelosi pic. Newt said it was the dumbest thing he ever did but Santorum defends and even blames Bush for his support of Spector

Newt should stop using liberal language by calling the Volt an “electric” car. It is a battery powered car.

If you want to sneak a little pejorative flavor into it call them battery operated cars instead of batter powered. It's still accurate. :-)

Are you saying Obama is not patriotic?

No. I am saying that he is possessed by Satan. Other than that he is dandy.

“Gingrich should have told him no need to question a fact. Which is he has proven by his actions their is not a patriotic American bone in Bambi’s body.”

No. The right answer is “I’m just laying out the facts about this president. Charlie, you’re the one calling him ‘unpatriotic.’ If you think his actions are unpatriotic, that’s your right to describe him that way.”

Nah, it’s a nice golf cart with a gasoline assist.
