Privatize Social Security, Medicare, keep healthcare privatized (we can see the disaster that is), privatize police, fire, EMS, schools. Get those tax dollars into the hands of corporations.

Look: the Republican Governors Association is very clear on now these govs are supposed to go about this. It's no secret. It's what the party "stands for".

If you google " Newt child labor laws privatize education " you will get literally thousands of hits. This is a speaking engagement he had a few days ago, then since he's come out and "clarified" his child labor law repeal.

I had already been to the first site you posted, still dont see where he said he would make kids pay to go to elementary school. Read the second article as well and I still cant find where he said that kids would have to pay to go to elementary school.

Please dont say "the Republicans want to repeal the OSHA laws" that is not what he is saying and you make it seem like he is going to force children to be tied to the toilet and clean it before they can have an education. That is not what he said.
We will agree to disagree.

That is exactly what Grinch has said elsewhere, as has the entire Republican party.

Seriously - if you want to like a guy that was kicked out of his party for ethics violations and failure to lead, giving up his entire last term of elected office, have at it. The Newt "legend" lives on in the minds of conservatives, but doesn't much mesh with the reality that is Newt.
