‘Freddie Mac’ without an historian is like a fish without a bicycle.

Newt is the GOP’s Bill Clinton. Don't look at the substance, just worship the style.

Historical perspective? Institutional memory? Before the computer and before policy & procedure manuals - employees with seniority were valued for their ‘institutional’ memories. IBM cards without the holes.

Now here he is in Iowa this week defending Freddie Mac. Quote: Every American should be interested in expanding housing opportunities. Newt, did you pay ANY attention over the last fifteen years? Or are you just trying to perform some damage control?

All they have to do is ask Bwarney Fwrank:
He can tell them more than they need to know. Like whether he likes being the receiver or the sender. Who does who etc. etc.

Newts chutzpah knows no bounds, though. Back during the 2008 presidential campaign, he told a Fox News interviewer that then-Senator Obama ought to return contributions he had received from Freddie Mac and its sister racket, Fannie Mae. Just last year Newt brought out a campaign book in which he argued for getting rid of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Now here he is in Iowa this week defending Freddie Mac. Quote: Every American should be interested in expanding housing opportunities. OK, Newt defenders, defend this Romney-grade flip flopping and situational ethics.

I don’t want Newt as POTUS. Yes I understand she was incredibly brave with an incredibles knack for survival against the Aliens, but Ripley had a big hand in that don’t forget. When Hicks said “Why don’t you put her in chaarge?” I don’t think he was taking about POTUS. Plus Newt (aka Rebecca) is still too young for the office.

“Isnt that what we want in a candidate, valuable insider understanding of governmental affairs?”
That’s what I want. Someone who has shown us how to ramrod a balanced budget, help create jobs, know where to cut government jobs, cut welfare, kick ass and take names. You know, useless shit like that. Things they have already demonstrated IN THE OFFICE OF SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
Or we could disqualify them for what they have allegedly done OUTSIDE the office they held.
Orrr...we could let someone have a few years of OJT. And hope for change.
Cripes.

I think the question few have really failed to consider asking is;
“After conservatives are through destroying all their options as well as chances, who will be left standing?
The answer to that one is; “The one who was most overlooked.” (Romney)
Listen to all the General public pundits, it’s almost unanimous. Even on FOX.

"OK, Newt defenders, defend this Romney-grade flip flopping and situational ethics." They can't and they won't try. All they will do is flame us that see through the hypocrite.
This is nothing compared to what's coming if the idiot should get the nomination.
