All those are true. However I fear you have done this for nothing. Why Newt will win it all. Because people think Newt is smart. He articulates himself well he can pronounce words correctly unlike the current commander and chief.

Frankly the republican party is sick of people who sound dumb.

Newt has a tendency to open his mouth and not think first. Im hoping he makes a big goof up so the foolish people supporting him look elsewhere.

Thanks for your input, POV and ssvs04. I just wanted all these facts about Newt to be known. He is no friend of patriots or the people.


In 2006, Gingrich backed censoring the web

http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2012/01/in-gingrich-backed-censoring-the-web-111756.html


The question Thursday was about the
Stop Online Piracy Act, legislation that has the support of the
entertainment industry and powerful members of the House and Senate,
but is now on life support after running into a firestorm of
criticism from Internet users, tech companies like Google, and
activists who shut down websites in protest earlier this week.
But back in 2006, Gingrich argued censoring the Internet would be
the right thing to do when it comes to Islamic radicals who use the
web to organize jihad against the U.S.

"We need to get ahead of the curve rather than wait until we
actually literally lose a city, which I think could literally happen
in the next decade if we're unfortunate," Mr. Gingrich said
during a speech in New Hampshire, according to a story I wrote at the
time for The New York Sun. "We now should be impaneling people
to look seriously at a level of supervision that we would never dream
of if it weren't for the scale of the threat."

Gingrich's aides posted the audio on the web at the time, but the
file seems to be gone now. My recollection is that the former House
speaker didn't go into great detail, but suggested that a group of
retired judges or other respected individuals should be empowered to
shut down websites that foment anti-American violence. He did not
explain how the U.S. would take down sites on servers beyond the
reach of U.S. law.

At the time, Gingrich conceded that the kinds of controls he was
proposing for the web would trigger "a serious debate about the
First Amendment," but he said the intrusion was needed because
of the apocalyptic nature of the threat posed by Islamic terrorists.

True he doesn't have an off switch on some ideas. But the guy is smart.

I am very aware of all of Newts problems. I am aware of all the candidates problems. Now I still have not made up my mind. I could very well end up voting for Ron Paul or any of the others.

However out of all 4 Newt can connect he does not have some of the best ideas but he does connect.

I shall use this thread as a reference, thank you for sharing:) If you find any Romney lists let me know!

"I support the Second Amendment, but I also support the assault weapon ban, that’s why I signed a bill of that nature." -- Mitt Romney, May 25, 2008 -- FoxNews Republican Presidential Debate

I say no to Newt because he is a disgusting man. He reminds me of a gad fly. Not to mention a hypocrit. Come on guys, it's only a crime if you get caught so he'll enact the laws to oppose anyone who opposes him.

Hey, I'm not going to have any problems getting thru airport, right? We may all end up on a watch list, but we'll have each other right? I'll need something to do while I sit in airports not going anywhere.

Plane, train what does it really matter. I live close enough to the border, I'll just ask the Mexicans how to slip in and out of the country.

LMAO you might have to one day if Obama declares himself dictator.

Got a little experience with dictators. My family lost a sugar cane planation in Cuba when Castro took over. We were sea faring people and the cane was haul here in our boats to sell in the US back in the day. Met my hispanic cousins due to Noriega in the 70's. I love being introduced at their x-mas parties as their gringo prima.

Well living in a controlled environment does have it's advantages, I guess. I have friends who lived on a air base. All traffic was stopped at the gate and you better have id. She said they would drive around and measure the height of the grass with rulers. A few of the trade offs but it did have it's perks. It was strange for me since I had no prior experience with anything military.

I also knew a guy who was captured at the Bay of Pigs. He was traded back to the US for medical supplies in the 60's. He preferred it in the US, we would laugh and tell him as opposed to being in prision. he headed up the respirtatory tech team at the hospital that I worked at.

I quess in Cuba you don't own your house, the state does. I sure hope they provide one heck of a good grounds keeper.

You don't own your own house or property here in the US either. You get to pay for it, as if you're buying it. But then you also get to pay the government a yearly rental fee in the form of "property taxes". And then they can seize your land at any time under Eminent Domain and pay you whatever they feel it's worth.

I had a friend from Cuba. She said she felt more free in Cuba than in the twisted little dictatorship of Freeport, New York, where she lived.

What made Freeport a dictatorship? Is that one of those communities where they can tell you what color you can paint your house, what plants you're allowed to plant, if you can fly a flag, etc?

This is true, we like to delude ourselves with the possessions that we think we have.
