Newt Gingrich is one of the smartest men in history to work in politics. He is right. Obama's health care reform will tear our economy and our standard of medical care in the US apart.
I don't know who you think doesn't admire and respect Newt, but I, for one, am a young and rather smart Republican woman who thinks Newt should be running the country.
Obama's stimulus package isn't working. He is quadrupling the debt. The unemployment rate is at almost 10% and Obama's plan was to keep it at 8% or below!
Face it, the democrats are tax and spend and all Americans can go stand in soup kitchen lines for all they care. The Dems will destroy our free market economy and our health care system. We would be lucky if Newt Gingrich would take over!!!!!!

That sort of thing. If they're going to play hardball with our national security, then maybe they'd like to do so behind the safety of chain-link and consertina wire?

I offer that Mr. Obama takes a pre-emptive strike at this threat to our nation...that is the presidential trend, no?

Excellent. I sorta remember thats what a few other people have done to the opposition to their agenda and people wonder why I warn against a fascist state in the present climate.

The independant party exists you know, to balance the party system.. Of course that might be the new shingle for the GOP…but they'll have to tone down the neo-fascist rigid ignoramous stance a bit. We middle grounders can smell that like rotting eggs…

If the stimulus works then the R's will concentrate on the generational debt argument- if it doesn't they will crow about their obstructionism and the public will listen. It may help them revive the party- since voters have a short memory.

Since the Republicans have zero chance of long term survival, does it really matter what they do.

The real quesiton is how will the U.S. function as a one party state where the Democratic primary is the real election and the general election is a rubber stamp of the primary results (See Chicago, Maryland, Mass, NYC, etc for the best examples).

Also, what happens when more than half of congress runs for reelection without a serous opponent?

OK, the mouse thing that all the rethugs are harping all over the airwaves about-including the floor of congress-is not, according to everything that I have read, not in the stim. So why on earth arn't their any dems out there forcing the thugs to back down????? The thugges also stated that there was money in the stim for a maglev train from LA to Vegas. Which was also not true.-I have noticed that at least this claim has been dr4opped. But back to my first comment, if the mouse protection is NOT IN THE STIM then why the hell are the thugs getting a free pass all over the press and TV? Why haven't the dems made known that the mouse claim was made up and that the staffer who did it admitted he was wrong? All I hear is that said staffer (admittedly or reportadly) said or did this. I know that “reporters” are extremely lazy and have little or no ability or concern about getting their stories correct by doing a little research, instead they allow Drudge to be their major/only source or else they go with rethuggee talking points right out of the thug party hq. Is it any wonder that newspapers and network TV are being shunned by people(other than the sheeple who only watch faux and listen to rush) who can actually think who are getting their news from sources outside the US. Myself, I get my TV news from Arirang-a world TV channel-or from the BBC-on BBC America-and the rest from the internet.
Remember this when watching the network news, crap floats, and what you see on the networks is crap.

It comes to my mind that creating civil unrest in time of war is illegal…something about “treason” or something…I'll have to go to the Constitution and look that one up.. : )

Meanwhile…I think Mr. Barack Obama should pass some Bush-style emergency Executive-privilege statues that up the punishment for purposeful misrepresentation aimed at causing a rift in our populace…and you know…start refurbing some federal prison cells in anticipation of a surge in the population of inmates..

That sort of thing. If they're going to play hardball with our national security, then maybe they'd like to do so behind the safety of chain-link and consertina wire?

Gosh, thanks Republicans, for working hard to help America come back from the very brink of utter collapse….oh wait, that isn't what you are trying to do at all.
Sorry, wrong group….

Newt!

The most divisive politican of his generation!!

Even his own party couldn't stand him!!!

I'm sure George W. Bush is watching this development with hope for his own future rehabilitation.
