GO NEWT!
This is a losing proposition. Nobody gives a rip about the richest 1%. Republicans will look foolish scrapping everything for them.
Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening. No spine.
Not only do they not make cuts, they turn around and start asking for more tax increases.
If we could keep Newt’s mouth shut and limit his appearance on TV, I say we should make him head of the GOP. He’s a visionary but carries some baggage and unsightly flaws.
If only we could limit him to Sunday morning shows 3-4 times a year he would be great, but the MSM loves to give him rope and he’ll eventually say something ingeniously unfathomably stupid.
And I still stand by my post that was pulled: I don’t need to hear anyone say that “we don’t want a lot of wealth created and passed along from generation to generation” who the hell do these people think they are....this is America and there should be NO death tax. Period
Newt is right. They should not increase taxes on the producers at any level of the work force because it will not stop. 40-50% taxes. can you image the death tax! Who will want to continue to work. The rich are paying more than their fair share now. Why do they need to be punished because they made it and redistribute their wealth. people can be so lame and contradictory. Which way do want it-one way for dems and another for repubs. Newt knows how to get things done in the government. They should take him under their wing and listen to him. I don’t want to punish the producers so they will expand their companies. I am not jealous of them, either.

Instead of “holding the line on taxes”, which means that Republicans *lose* everywhere else *but* taxes, instead the Republicans have a brief moment in which they can attack.
They can refuse to pass any more continuing resolutions until the Democrats give them what they want.
They can refuse to stop sequestration until the Democrats give them what they want.
They can refuse to raise the debt limit until the Democrats give them what they want.
This is *exactly* what the Democrats have done, and would do, to Republicans, were their roles reversed. And yet the only thing we are hearing from Republican leaders is that they “will hold the line on taxes.”
Phooey. This achieves nothing!
Why not refuse to fund the EPA? Refuse to fund the DHS?
If Harry Reid does like he has done for THE PAST FOUR YEARS, and refuse to let the senate even consider a budget, then either the Republicans continue to act like whipped, co-dependent puppies, or they can attack Harry Reid with a snarl, and say,
“NO, HARRY REID! YOU DO YOUR JOB AND YOU MAKE THE SENATE PASS A BUDGET, TOO, OR ELSE YOU DO NOT GET ANOTHER THIN DIME FROM US!”
Seriously, the Republicans leaders know all this, yet all they do is snivel and promise the very least thing they can, hoping that Republicans and conservatives will let them get away with it.
Grow a spine you wimps.
Seems like even Gingrich appears to be stuck on stupid; mesmerized by Hussein's left hand he is oblivious to the sucker punch hidden by the right hand, which has been delivered successfully time after time because stuck on stupid seems to be the GOP terminal disease.
The Takers will promise ALL of their cuts in spending a decade from now with tax increases immediately.
The elephant dummies seem oblivious. Am I going nuts to believe that this is the biggest hurdle to any real compromise? Ever?
Assuming that every member of the GOP leadership is not brain dead!
