“He [Newt] was a great Speaker of the House”
Yep. Great at being disciplined on ethics charges (84) for which he paid $300,000 in fines.

Dem led witch hunt in which only 1 stuck; and that was dubious. It wasn’t a fine as you characterize, now crawl back under your rock!

In the end, the House voted overwhelmingly, 395-28, to reprimand Gingrich and to fine him $300,000.
There were a few Republicans in that 395, sport.

What’s to explain? He’s a corrupt libtard who was slapped on the wrist and re-elected by his moronic constituents. WTF does that have to do with the “great Speaker of the House” Newt Gingrich?
- Anonymous
Simple. You can’t put any weight behind accusations leveled by congress. They don’t attack guilty people and can’t make anything stick to innocent ones. It’s all reality TV. At least Newt doesn’t have dinner with communist bombers who have killed people. Newt hasn’t told me that because I am a white, christian veteran that I am a bad person.

Those charges were instigated by Bush, Sr. who was trying to get revenge for Newt’s rebellion against his program. Bush I was not once head of the CIA for nothing – he’s a very shrewd cunning man in gentlemanly sheep’s clothing.
Newt has learned his lessons.
- Anonymous
If revenge is a potential problem for Newt will the Republican establishment try to destroy him in the event he gets to close to Mittie? Seems like everyone is starting to pile on. Fox and Friends was just a continued stream of anti-Newt Romney supporters. Bolling is so transparent in his backing of Mittie, he should be embarrassed. Fair and Balanced? Not this primary season.

lol. That made me laugh…
Alright, I’ll bite: What lesson did Newt learn from that? I’m curious.
- Anonymous
Yes, 84 charges were brought … and 83 of those were dropped.
The remaining charge did not result in a ‘fine’ as you assert, but in a settlement with the committee which provided for $ 300,000 reimbursement of committee expenses – which Newt agreed to to end the assault.
Great irony here is that the one charge which was ‘settled’ was related to violation of tax law – and just over a year after the settlement an IRS ruling pronounced that no tax or fine was applicable since its regulations had not been violated.
So the real story on these ’84 charges’ is the length that Newt’s opposition would go with unfounded and questionable charges to destroy his ability to continue as Speaker.
- Anonymous
The REAL story behind this is something that Newt himself has alluded to, but has brushed off as inconsequential: His ‘leadership style’ has a strong tendency to alienate his own party and base. He has openly admitted that there are quite a few in Congress who were put off by his leadership, and many have come out and openly stated so.
Newt claims he asked the republicans to vote against him just to get the issue behind them. Fair enough. What does that mean? Does that mean that as our elected President or candidate, if Newt feels that his representation is getting in the way of our country moving on, will he bow out to whatever false allegation gains traction? I’m going to be very interested in Newt’s choice of VP. -well, I will be if he starts to gain in the polls.
There are other issues that I am very against with Newt, but the allegations and investigation isn’t one of them… but it certainly isn’t a neutral issue.

So what grizzlybear….show me a politician with no baggage and I will show you a Saint. If we dig deep enough, they ALL have baggage.
Gingrich for president. The lamestream media is trashing Newt for “historical” baggage. All politicians have baggage if we dig deep enough, but the lamestream/left socialists won’t expose democrats, they love the big zero/Obama. Newt has made his mark with his “Contract with America,” a contract he fulfilled that no other politician can match. He is a true conservative, and gaining in the polls. We need this man to bring back our country into prosperity.
However, I will vote for anyone who runs against the Obama regime.

All you Ron Paul fiends out there, did you see Santorum pimpslap Paul on the second ammendment? Ron Paul the constitutionalists? That is if you don’t mind the gun industry going extinct due to Ron’s support of the ability to bring frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers. I’ve never seen Ron get backed into a corner like that before. It was brilliant how Santorum squared him away.

Mark Levin, a patriot extraordinaire!
- Anonymous
We need to keep our perspective broad.
Santorum, Perry and Gingrich are solid candidates with correct principles. All will have flaws, but each is a proven performer whose intentions are 180 degrees from oMOBa’s. Most important, they do not appear to be under the influence of big business, the power brokers…unions, special interests, the mob).
Any one of them can make giant leaps toward correcting our country’s woeful path away from the Constitution.

Levin has a secularist point of view. His take on the causal factors cites Plato, Aristotle, the Greek thinkers and history, but leaves G-D, Scripture, sin and spiritual factor out.
This is a worldly – one dimensional POV.
- Anonymous
“St. Thomas Aquinas combined Aristotelian classification with Plato’s ideas of the goodness of God, and of all potential life forms being present in a perfect creation, to organize all inanimate, animate, and spiritual beings into a huge interconnected system: the scala naturæ” – Wiki; also appears in a number of other references.
Good enuf for Aquinas, good enuf for me. Don’t believe Levin is at odds with Judeo-Christian thought through his references to the Greek thinkers.
Can anyone else shed light on this as I’m not a Biblical scholar by any means.

Mr. Levin, you are a smart guy, so I hope you can answer this question.
Did you have any problem questioning how Hillary Clinton turned $1,000 into $100,000 in futures trading? Were you and Rush being anti-capitalistic or anti-Wall St. wanting to know how Hillary did it? Just curious.
- Anonymous
That was a matter of political corruption by a Clinton-tied futures trading company out of Chicago which raised potential criminal acts, not ethical issues which are not criminal. I believe that the futures firm was eventually shut down as a result of questionable practices. REFCO was the company name I believe although I forgot where I put my keys today;)
- Anonymous
How were all those things discovered? By questioning those activities, right?
No illegal activities were ever found. But to even go there, isn’t that anti-capitalistic?
Just looking for some intellectual consistency.
- Anonymous
Large gulf between criminal and ethical. I just can’t see the similarity. Newt was questioning HOW Romney made his money but never raised issues on the legality of it. This could be construed as anti-capitalist by some. In the Clinton situation, legality was called into question as you have an issue of gaming the system at the expense of other investors which is a criminal matter, not anti-capitalist
- Anonymous
They did question HOW Hillary made the money. They believed her commodity trading to be illegal and apparently they were wrong.
Newt’s charge is there were possibly occasions where Bain was gaming the system. Granted, not in an illegal way that we know of. Bain operated legally in the same way Hillary did too.
I do understand the difference you are explaining. Newt should have gone further in his charges by making an accusation something illegal was going on.
- Anonymous
As Bain is a private partnership and they wouldn’t crack their books unless under subpeona, it would be ludicrous for Newt to go that far and it would be the end of his campaign. He’s already experienced the wrath of a sigificant number of conservatives. To make the leap to criminal would be a death sentence.

Had they not, it would still be not a mandate.
Mandate means mandatory. American Heritage Dictionary defines “mandatory” as “Required or commanded by authority; obligatory:” It’s not required if you take the exemption. Thus, optional.
Besides, aren’t we arguing a policy that is not even in effect? We have candidates running who have much worse policy still active today!

Latest polls in SC (pre-debate) shows Romney 30%, Gingrich 22%, Santorum 14.5% and Perry 5%. Gingrich is surging and if conservatives back one candidate; they would beat Romney like a red haired step child.
I know this makes people angry but we need to be pragmatic. Believe that the longer the 3 stay in the race, the chances for a conservative nominee diminishes. In light of Gingrich coming out of the Bain matter and climbing in the polls provides a solid case. One thing disturbs me today is that Newt is attacking Santorum. He needs to focus solely on Romney and nothing else as he risks losing his momentum. This matter needs to be settled behind the scenes.

I’d pick Newt over Mittens, but it’s hard to support Newt over Santorum.
Newt should be hammering Mittens over Romneycare, not Bain…. but it’s hard for Newt when he supported the damn mandate in May 2011.

Ron Paul scores A with the NRA.
Regarding the bill Santorum was referencing last night, here is what Santorum’s YES vote did:
-Prohibit individuals from filing a qualified civil liability action
-Exempt lawsuits brought against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime
-Exempt lawsuits against actions that result in death, physical injury or property damage due solely to a product defect
-Dismiss of all civil liability actions pending on the date of enactment
-Prohibit the manufacture, import, sale or delivery of armor piercing ammunition“In our own country, we should be ever vigilant against any attempts to disarm the people, especially in an economic downturn. I worry that violent crim will rise sharply in the coming days, and as states and municipalities grow even more financially strained, the police will be less able or willing to respond to crime.”
“Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. Our Founders, having just expelled the British army, knew that the right to bear arms served as the guardian of every other right. This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can ultimately resist tyrannical government.”

OGO ..(Oh Great One)…Remember that President “Anonymous”, did alert us that he would Transform America…ergo the following. I suggest that if you’re interested you examine the work of Alinsky and Cloward-Pivan on the theory of,”Manufactured Crisis”, the bible for neighborhood organizers. Also see the movie or read:”The Manchurian Candidate” about the Russian Physiologist Ivan Pavlov’s 1901, “Conditioned Response” dog experiments as the root basis of. “Brainwashing”. This phenomenon was first encountered with a number of American POW’s refusing repatriation after the Korean war. Others, who did return reported being held in Manchuria and,worked over by Russian Psychologists.
Huxley’s,”Brave New World” was based on this concept. It also played a key role in the NYC 70′s financial crisis, C-P’s maiden voyage w/deceased George Wiley the ACORN predecessor.
Sol Stern and maybe others at Manhattan Institute have been following this activity and have educated me on these experiments in subversion and treason.
Naturally, David Horowitz, our national treasure and social/cultural, “Canary”, has also written(Book) extensively on, and actually dealt with some of the west coast arrivals of this Neo-Marxist professoriate contingent while others set up shop in the major Eastern Ivy league from the,”Frankfurt School”. they also became known as The Institute of Social Research. Other,’ to our leading IVY League around the WW II period.
John Fonte (Formerly @ Hoover: most recently writing at,”Orthodoxy Today.Org.) wrote a remarkably thorough piece on this whole neo-Marxist movement and strategy, key dimension of which is focus on, “Values clarification”, “Multicultural, Gender and Ethnic Studies etc.
Timothy Matthews wrote another beautiful, extended analysis for Catholic Insight Magazine:”The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to corrupt”.
Hope this handbook”primer” for subversives helps us understand the nature of modern transformation

From all the GLOWING PRAISES from RUSH to Jeffery Lord over at “The American Spectator” website which gives a detailed report on it which I highly recommend titled” Ameritopia explodes onto 2012 campaign”.I’m very active online and have read many online web stories about Liberalism,Democrats,and their strange beliefs and Republicans and their differences within their own party with Moderates and GOP Elites and what’s happening to America and finally someone has put it all together in a comprehensive intelligent format that makes sense of it all.Thanks again for this landmark book!

Hi Allen …not specifically …you might want to enlighten the rest of us..
The really irksome nature of this issue is that the left, in control of the govt. educational bureaucracy K thru PHD. and the MSM has been stealthily insinuating this Neo-Marxist reconditioning process via so-called”Political Correctness”, into America’s bloodstream for a half century:
I first heard about,”values clarification”, going on in the public elementary/middle school levels in upscale neighborhoods in Boston area in the mid-60′s. None of my own kids public schools (last graduate-1988) seem to have been involved.
At this same time,(mid-sixties as an HR staffer), I did notice so-called, T-Group/Sensitivity Training,” was being woven into the corporate and “B”School training environments as what I would now label conditioning to sell a “Diversity” (Quota) hustle” via the medium of brain-washing,
Check the below link on the famous harridan,”Brown eyes Elliot”….. it may not be live..requiring you to paint it in. It illustrates the psychological dynamics and techniques used to force the individual to conform his values to those of the group(Collective).
http://www.vdare.com/articles/jane-elliott-35-years-of-rage
Aside::::
What a remarkable coincidence: Vdare.com (in above link) should be regular reading for all Americans. It is now run by a great English? Emigre journalist and patriot, Peter Brimelow.While it’s a diversion from the above discussion , it’s too neat to ignore ——it’s also an opportunity to spread a word on some mortgage scandal stuff that was ignored by my local Tea Party group 2+ yrs. ago (you never know where you’ll encounter human debris; as my buddy Rush always says.)
In 1993, while working for Forbes Magazine, he. and his probability stats-savvy, brilliant young reporting partner Ms. Leslie Spencer, were assigned to interview Boston Fed. Reserve VP, and chief Economist Alicia Munnell (PHD) to inquire about her just-released Boston area housing survey, billed in the press by her boss, Boston Fed president Donald Syron as rife with proof of mortgage discrimination in minority lending by area banks.
I’ll leave to you to scout the below site for the long, incredibly entertaining story of this Clinton-initiated but, fully partisan igniter of the biggest financial bonfire in American/ world history. Neither party was interested in disclosing the true story of willful mortgage quota settings for minorities. That’s why it has taken so long to get the real story out.
However, in contrast to GOP silence, the Dems have been shameless in accusing the whole financial industry with racism and predatory lending: instead of meeting the demands of Frank and Dodd.
