I don't know if there is a difference, but I would THINK there is.
Anyway, not having made up my mind, I'm still looking at Newt for the betterment of our nation, and I'm not sure whom to settle on.
I'm starting to think there are too many good people in the race and NO ONE is the perfect conservative.
Response I posted at site:
A think tank is a private group which hires itself out to anyone who wants to pay for it’s advice. Think tanks recommend a course of action or postulate what the future may hold for any given concern and make recommendations on how the concern should navigate through the problematic future happenings on the horizon.
While the Lib media makes an issue about this because it concerns a Conservative running for office, they depend on the total ignorance of their readership to not see a think tank is no different then a financial adviser who tells people where to invest to maximize or protect assets in both troubled or prosperous times.
So what? Isn’t it strange how all the leading Republican candidates get attacked by White House surrogates?
And??
After Newt left Congress - he created a consulting group that could use his expertise and navigation skills to stay ahead of the socialist trend in the Federal Government and its agencies.
He had no influence - only information.
Newt did not leave office a millionaire so he earned an income from he what he had observed and learned in office - fighting the Democrats and some in his own party.
This is getting laughably transparent on the part of the media.
Build one of our guys up... once he reaches the top, have fun destroying him.
Except Mitt Romney, who you can bet will be the last one standing.
Even THIS field of crap candidates, we’re not allowed to choose our own... and we’re not even making it hard for them.
“Meet the new boss.... same as the old boss”.

Man: I have reached a point where I want to throw all of the Candidates in the toilet and start fresh.
I guess the attacks are working.
They all look like sh*t.
WP's Horse finshes second, competitor's horse next-to-last.Deceptive semantics. Insert Lincoln's quote about fooling people here.
When I criticize say,Romney,I make sure to point out that I'm leaning towards Cain—that way the evil ignorant and anti-American Mittbotts can try in vain to argue the nonexistent merits of their chosen rubberhead.
And saying,”I not for anyone yet” is a disingenuous and cowardly cop-out that only a troll would say.
I think we should just forget about 2012 and work on recruiting Jesus for 2016! /s/
Folks, a lot of people thought a mandate was a good idea. Upon reflection, they realize it was and is not workable for a national plan. I think people can change their views without being John Kerry. Kerry sits on the perch of a central government, and constantly promoted policies that put federal requirements over states and citizens.
Newt was working in a think tank, trying to make reasonable proposals.
Conservatives ought to be able to make thoughtful differentiations between positions. We ARE smarter than liberals, after all.
You don’t get to demand one standard for your candidate while you are busy applying a completely different one to all the others. As long as you insist on doing that, it is impossible to take anything the Newt-bot squad posts seriously.
Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave
Newt Gingrich Rides the Third Wave
"In 1994, Newt Gingrich described himself as a... fan of the ideas espoused in the book, The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler, in which homosexuality, promiscuity, adultery, divorce, and abortion are all viewed as perfectly normal and even desirable. He said that in order to understand him, you should read the book, The Third Wave by Toffler. This book is written from the perspective of someone who is writing a letter to America’s Founding Fathers, in which he describes the Constitution and the principles of limited government that guided our Founding Fathers as becoming increasing irrelevant, and obsolete, and hence in need of being radically redesigned and replaced!....When Newt Gingrich became the Speaker of the House in 1994, he recommended The Third Wave as required reading for all of his Congressional colleagues!"
Reminder: Newt Gingrich Teamed Up With Hillary Clinton, Wanted Government MANDATED Health Care
Newt's record is as bad if not worse than Romney.
Newt is for amnesty and in June 2011 Debate Newt Gingrich called Americans Heartless for wanting to deport 20 million illegals.
"GINGRICH: No, but let me say this, John. No serious citizen who's concerned about solving this problem should get trapped into a yes/no answer in which you're either for totally selling out protecting America or you're for totally kicking out 20 million people in a heartless way. There are -- there are humane, practical steps to solve this problem, if we can get the politicians and the news media to just deal with it honestly."June 2011 Debate Transcript
If Newt was hired and asked to address the best place in the US to build concentration camps and his answer was Arkansas, it would mean he gave a response to someone who hired him to give his opinion.
It wouldn’t mean that he was for building concentration camps, that he didn’t like Arkansas, that he wanted to see more jobs created in Arkansas or that he owned stock in a chain link fence and barbed wire company.
It would mean that he makes a living studying things and has a very large amount of knowledge that is valuable to people.
Despite the fact that Cain, former chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza, is known for his wit and ease onstage, it was Gingrich, the former history professor and House speaker, who was truly in his element. Denied the opportunity to hold forth at length in regular televised debates, which offer 30-second sound bites and instant rebuttals, Gingrich was expansive, funny and erudite, as he and Cain batted around ideas for reforming Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.
They both embraced rooting out the Medicare fraud and waste that costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year; giving federal money to states in the form of block grants to administer Medicaid as they see fit; and offering citizens personal retirement accounts in order to have a say over how their retirement dollars are invested.
Dr Coburn, Newt and Cain all agree on the fraud and Newt believes instead of having the paper pushers on the fed level handle it (they have done shoddy work) to “privatize” it out...he said that Mastercard could weed out the waste better than the feds. Some medicaid patiets go into ER and get treated for a minor cold..run up er bills and cant be tracked...they turn around and a few months later go to some er room and repeat it all over again. So let there be a method of tracking patients. Privatize it out..the feds cant do a decent job
All those that walk on water, step right up!
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Sounds like another Marxist on the lose by opposing Newt on a legitimate business venture. He was a private citizen in a consulting business. What the hell is wrong with what his consulting business did? If someone came to you offering money for your opinion, would you say “hell no”? I seriously doubt it.
Newt’s well of corruption runs deeper than any on FR ever imagined. It will all come out and it won’t be pretty. Callista was part of all of this too. Newt is damaged goods.
