Is Newt Morphing

Remember how Newt Gingrich has been castigating President Obama about being a Saul Alinsky president because he talked about the unfairness of the tax code. Then Mitt Romney talks about his not being concerned about the very poor because they had a safety net. Now Newt wants to give the poor a trampoline so that they can bounce out of poverty.

Saul Alinsky was a liberal socialist who believed in people power, he accomplish a lot of good things for poor people living on the south side of Chicago. In the midst of crooked politics, the mob ruling the ghetto he was able to bring forces on Slum Lords that produced public housing and a transportation system that served the lest fortunate in the city. He insisted on getting better schools and better qualified teachers. His motto was people power and he accomplished many of his feats through marches and sit inn's of city offices. Now newt is talking about people power and providing a trampoline to the very poor. Isn't that Alinsky lite.

Meh it's kinda hard to tell. They all talk shit about Keynesian economics while using them. So they either don't know what Keynes said or they know their base is stupid and that if you can tie something to commies they'll vote against it. Either way I don't know if anything about him changed.

I think Newt is pretty smart, but I am not sure he always thinks things over before he blurts out an idea. I do think the "smartest guy in the room" statements have gone to his head. Of course, he has to be frustrated. The Republican elite and the Liberals, including the Liberal media, are pushing hard for Romney, which is why I would never vote for him. Newt would do more for all of us than Romney OR Obama will. I think Romney would be a tad better than Obama, but he will not repeal Obamacare and that mess will just get worse and worse. Just dealing with doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies is bad enough. Just wait until the Federal government gets in the middle of your medical business. I dare say you will curse the day Obama was born. I am not sure Newt will totally repeal it either, but he is the most likely to make adjustments to it that would at least make it acceptable. Rudy Giuliani put it pretty close to right over the weekend. He said we really do not know the real Romney because he keeps changins his position on things. He is like Obama in that respect, as well. He says what the people he is with want to hear. That shows a definite lack of character. Romney will not get my vote. Newt would. It is that simple. I will not vote for someone that is pushed on me by elitist Republicans and Liberals / Democrats / Socialists. If Romney is the Republican candidate, Liberals cannot lose in the next election for president. Time will prove me right IF Romney is elected. Newt is the only one left that can get us out of this mess, and I am only slightly sure of that.

Name a position Obama changed on. Not something he failed to accomplish like the closing of Gitmo, not something he was mistaken/wrong about like unemployment will pass 8.5% unless you pass this but actually something he was flat out for A and then later for B.

If the smartest man in the room thinks that by 2020 a moon colony is possible that says everything you need to know about the inteligence of the men in that room btw.

Alienated that is his problem he thinks he's smart but the public just isn't buying it. His mouth does work faster than his brain that is what makes him a megalomaniac. He's frustated because neither liberals or conservatives accept his BS. Be a good Republican and fall in line and vote for the party candidate even if you have to hold your nose. What has Newt done or accomplished that cause you to be so enamored with him other than being unpredictable.

Obama care will not be repealed simply because of the benefits it will provide to all Americans. Right winged politicians will continue to demagogg it because it provide food for the bubbas. Since the majority of health care in America is either provided or controlled by the federal government makes you mess arguement moot. Military medicine, veterans care, medicare and medicaid are all controlled by the federal government so all that is left are those insured by their employer and those who are not able to afford health care insurance.

Thank God that we had Obama to save us from McCain and Sarah. We do not know the real Mitt or Newt but we do know that the Republican party has provided us with the worst bunch presidential candidates that money can buy in our history. I guess I can order the victory champagne now.

Alienated I don't think Newt is Smart He just think he's smart but obviously the public don't think so. Ditto his mouth works faster than his brain that is the reason some time his diatribes turn into incoherent babbling and makes him a meglomaniac. He's frustated because neither Liberals or Conservatives accept his BS. Be a good Republican fall in line rather than falling out, is there a classification called temporary Republicans?. What has Newt done or accomplished that makes you so enamored with him except being unpredictable. Obama care will not be repealed by any president because of the benefits it provides. The majority of health care is provided or run by the federal government, the military, veterans health care, medicare & medicaid so what's left other than those insured by their employer and those unable to pay. But it will continued to demagogged by right wing republican politicans during elections just like the abortion issue to provide food for the bubbas but it will not be repealed.

Thank God for Obama he provided us relief from John and Sarah. Since Obama got over 53 percent of the vote cast that leaves you in the minority. Have you done an accessment of your values and see why you pick the under dog, that could be a character flaw. No one knows the real Mitt or Newt but one thing is obvious that the Republican establishment has put forth the worst bunch of bought presidential candidates in history. I guess purchase the champagne now for the victory celebration.
