Oops. I meant that that the statement about being a fiscal conservative would be false.
Neither is a true fiscal conservative but both are social liberals.
Why do I say that about Newt? Anyone who agrees that there is global warming and that the global warming is caused by man’s activity and that man’s activity needs to be controlled by the government in order to stop global warming, is not a fiscal conservative. That is the belief of someone who wants to hamstring the free market and individual behavior that grows an economy.
“anyone who agrees that there is global warming and that the global warming is caused by man’s activity ...”
Newt Gingrich will never support Cap and Trade and that is the bottom line here. CO 2 is a naturally occurring substance and not a poison as the lefties would have us believe.
The lefties say global warming is manmade therefore let us tax the carbon credits. That is their agenda. Newt shouldn’t have bought into the false premise, however, he isn’t going to have anything to do with Cap and Trade.
