This is the main reason I took a step back and decided to NOT vote for Gingrich in any way. He considers himself a "Wilsonian"? Puhleeze.
If that is the case and he thinks there is an elite class who should wield power in government...then he can go screw himself. I'd rather vote for Romney...as objectionable as that is. I don't want a big government thinker like Gingrich having all the goodies that Bush and Obama put into play at his disposal.
Each to their own, but do you not think mittens also a silver spoon elitist. Gingrich seems to find comfort for his over eager imagination in a hodge podge of misguided historical comparisons and I think the average person kind of shakes their head at his off the wall nature. I for one, take what he says with a grain of salt because I know he’s all over the place but I believe he would at least stand against some of the more egregious dem agendas, predictably on the spending side. Mittens has probably read less than a quarter of Gingrich’s library and it shows in him being philosophically vacant. I doubt he has the capacity to act without the aid of polling data which really is no position at all and could be potentially a lot worse. But what do I know.. it all seems pretty bad to me.
“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.
