Yes, and what was Newts budget? How'd that "Contract with America" work out?

Gingrich gets credit for two things from me - he has been in favor of government-mandated universal health care for all, and he worked with Clinton and the Dems.

Hey, Newt never said that there were 57 states...

Or confused "his Muslim faith" with "his Christian faith"

Or said he wants to "spread the wealth around" - wealth besides his own of course.

There are many idiotic statements that this president has made despite the media's overt action to hide his missteps and protect him.

In the debate it will be just Obama vs. Gingrich. No media to help. No prepared commercials. No orchestrated press conferences with softball questions and 20 minute long meandering answers.

It will be Newt vs. Barack. And I like Newt's odds any day.

Either did Obama. He was asked while running around on the campaign trail, about all the travel, how many states he'd visited, and he laughed and said, "All 57!" You know - as a joke?

Or confused "his Muslim faith" with "his Christian faith"

Either did Obama. Here's the original video of that interview, where George Stephanopolous is asking about the Republicans attacking him on the campaign trail by falsely saying he's Muslim, and Obama's answer: he said John McCain hadn't talked about my "Muslim" faith, and Stephanopolis says you mean Christian, and Obama says no, I'm saying that John McCain has not talked about me being Muslim. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqIpdBOg6I

Or said he wants to "spread the wealth around" - wealth besides his own of course.

Your income taxes are the lowest they've been since the 1950's. Thank the multiple tax cuts and incentives you've gotten from this President.

There are many idiotic statements that this president has made despite the media's overt action to hide his missteps and protect him.

Do feel free to share them, especially as there are "many".

Have you ever heard Newt actually speak? He has a long-standing reputation similar to Joe Biden for saying redonkulous, absurd things

I doubt Newt will get past the first four primaries. He could win Iowa. If they are trying to kill Romney on his successful state healthcare, they will eat Newt alive for his national Socialist mandated government healthcare for all plan.

Too bad, as the Dems would salivate over getting to run against Newt, as they would against Palin.

As George W. Bush would say, it's a great strategic advantage to be "misunderestimated"

Advantage: Gingrich.

Unfortunately I suspect a lot of folks understand Newt quite well.

He might beat Huckabee in Iowa.

This is what amuses me about this "Newt-love", because he has an education, right wing folks are climbing all over him..."Oh, he's so intelligent, a real intellectual" etc etc...now for every right wing PhD or tenured college professor, there are a half dozen (just a guess) left wing types, folks who agree about 95% of the time with my rather extreme views. These folks have been attacked by the right for decades (brainwashing our kids etc etc)...so how come an educated right winger is to be admired because he/she is just so smart while an educated left winger is demonized as the devil himself?

And if nobody noticed, Huckabee is officially OUT of the running.

The only ones officially in: Gingrich, Pawlenty, Romney, Johnson, Ron Paul (there are, of course, also the usual collection of declared weirdos that run every President election)

Aren't most of they the tax cots from the Bush Presidency? I have had more taxes taken out since Obama has been President. Don't know what tax cuts you're talking about.

It is easy for me to say when it is fact that I am paying more in taxes. Whether you like it or not I don't give a crap.
