Chris Christie: Gingrich ‘Has Been an Embarrassment to the Party’

Chris Christie: Gingrich Has Been an Embarrassment to the Party

AP

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Sunday Newt Gingrich’s past actions have been “an embarrassment” to the Republican Party and a reason why he should not get the GOP nomination for president.

Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Christie, a Mitt Romney supporter, said the country doesn’t “need another legislator in the oval office.”

“We need an executive, someone who both in the private sector and as a governor understands how to bring people together and use executive power,” Christie said. “The Speaker simply doesn’t have that experience, he’s never run anything.”

Asking about his past remarks that Romney would never “embarrass America,” host David Gregory asked Christie whether he thinks Gingrich would embarrass the country. Christie said yes, adding that Gingrich has already “embarrassed the party.”

“We all know the record. I mean, he was run out of the speakership of his own party, he was fined $300,000 for ethics violations,” Christie said. “This is a guy who has had a very difficult political career at times and has been an embarrassment to the party.”

He continued, “The fact of the matter is, I don’t need to regale the country with that entire list again except to say this: I’m not saying he will do it again in the future, but sometimes past is prologue.”

      Gingrich doesn’t sound any worse than crony Democrats like Kerry, Geithner. Pelosi, Reid, Frank and others to me. Just think about all the stuff those progressives have gotten away with and then read what Wiki says about Gingrich’s “ethics violations”.
      Sounds to me like it was the same type of mass smear campaign that the Dems did to Sarah Palin. And just like Palin, they are still repeating the lies about Gingrich.

      COME ON!….83 of the 84 “ethics charges” brought up against Gingrich were dropped. What does that tell you?

      Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Gingrich during his term as speaker, all by Democrats. Eighty-three of the charges were later dropped.[65] After extensive investigation and negotiation by the House Ethics Committee, Gingrich was reprimanded and penalized $300,000 by a 395–28 House vote. It was the first time in the history of the House that a speaker was disciplined for an ethics violation.

      continued…….

      In January 1997, Gingrich said “I did not manage the effort intensely enough to thoroughly direct or review information being submitted to the committee on my behalf. In my name and over my signature, inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee, but I did not intend to mislead the committee.” All of the charges but one were dropped, in one case because there was no evidence that Gingrich was still violating, as of the time of the investigation, the rule that he was found to have violated in the past. The one charge not dropped was a charge of claiming tax-exempt status for a college course run for political purposes. In addition, the House Ethics Committee concluded that inaccurate information supplied to investigators represented “intentional or … reckless” disregard of House rules.

      The Ethics Committee’s Special Counsel, James M. Cole, concluded that Gingrich had violated federal tax law and had lied to the ethics panel in an effort to force the committee to dismiss the complaint against him. The full committee panel did not agree whether tax law had been violated and left that issue up to the IRS. In 1999, the IRS cleared the organizations connected with the “Renewing American Civilization” courses under investigation for possible tax violations.

      @Rational Man..Another great post. I don’t care if you are a Gingrich supporter or not. But, the media hates the inconvenient FACTS when they are trying to smear someone. Gingrich got smeared back then. The Progressive GOP elite establishment are shaking in their boots considering the possibility that if Newt could do the things he did to disrupt the elites as a “mere” speaker of the house, holy batman, what would he do if he was the President? The progressive apple cart and the establishment from both sides are likely to be severely disrupted in their efforts to “progress” the american public further down the road to the establishment financial benefit.

      In any case, Romney’s really no better. I feel like Romney is a wishy-washier version of Newt!

      Santorum also has some big government, big spending issues in his history. It‘s nice that he’s focused on morality, but some of his constant references get on my nerves.

      Ron Paul isn’t even on the map for me. I consider myself a Constitutional Conservative. If I’m forced to choose between Ron Paul and Obama, I’m going to vote for Obama. Better the Prog I know than the one I don’t.

      What happened to Gingrich is no different than what happened to Palin. They both had to step down from their possitions because of an avalanche of BOGUS “ethics violations” for the good of the office and because of the lack of backbone from their Republican colleagues.

      We have another crappy field of candidates to choose from and are trying to pick the lesser of two evils. In researching and considering the choices we have, I can hold my nose and vote for Gingrich over the others. If I have to choose between Paul or a firing squad,…Just shoot me!!

      Rational Man: I read it as as much as I could digest. My husband remembers how Newt was smeared by the likes of Pelosi, who already has so much dirt on herself, she has no right to point fingers, because many point back at her. I’d like to see ethic charges against her.

      Newt was charged with one count out of 83. The IRS found the donations to charity were consistent with it’s (the charity) stated exempt purpose. (Wash. Post in 1999)
      Gov. Sununu brings this up knowing his own problems when he was Chief of Staff for HW Bush taking people on expensive trips, got caught and had to repay back 1/10 of the actual cost of the trips. He resigned in disgrace. He has it against Newt because he wanted to raise TAXES with HW Bush, but Newt was against raising taxes, but now it’s payback against Newt for looking out for the public over this, “read my lips, no new taxes” and HW Bush & Sununu were all for raising taxes

      So, what these nasty people are bringing up may come back to bite them on the bottom, cause I hate blatant liars who are artists at manipulating stories to suit their own causes.

      I’m disappointed with Chris Christi making a deal with Romney. In fact, I’m so unhappy, I won’t vote for Romney at all, and Christi can continue being a spoiler for all the wrong reasons, unless he was promised something. hmm? SO THERE! Don’t believe every liar in Government. They think we’re stupid. Let’s take back our Country against these slimeballs.

      Because his proposals are ones that ask the government to give up power……of course nothing passed. Paul wants to give you liberty and take power away from Washington….Of Course nothing passes because everyone else is corrupt. Does that mean the corrupt is right because they pass laws?

      I hear this talking point a lot “Paul has been in congress and hasn’t done/passed anything” But that should lead you to the next question….well what has he tried to pass?? And then when you find the answer to that you will say…..well who voted against that, and why???

      I have looked….and yeah there are a few things that you might say….”really Ron, did you think that would pass?” But most of it makes me wonder where the hack were the freedom loving constitutional republicans?? The secret is none of them care about you, they are just pandering to you for your vote…

      One of the things that Paul proposed was the US getting out of the UN and getting the UN headquarters off of US soil….Who is not for that?…..and why?…..and if it is just to extreme to do it that way…..why haven’t people tried to work out a way to do it that is not that far out there?

      Gingrich is no “saint”. But lets at least tell the truth about him, bad or good. Then decide the lesser of two evils to vote for…….As usual………………..

      The ethics violations were just a smear campaign by the Dems that worked. He was absolved of all but one which he admitted was mishandled in commitee and decided to pay the fine. The IRS absolved him of any wrong doing as far as they were concerned. Nuff said!

      No one in their right mind thinks that Gingrich cheating on his wife is a good thing. He has openly and repeatedly confessed, apologized and repented of what he did. But I’m not taking the word of a bitter ex-wife that he wanted an “open marriage”. Especially when she has threatened to ruin him with a single statement and made that statement 2 days before the primary. I am a Christian and I believe in forgiveness when someone truely repents and is sorry. But I’m not under the delusion that we can find a totally “pure” candidate to vote for. I want to vote for Santorum, but he is just such a weakling in the debates that I don’t feel confident that he could stand up to Obama and the “scorched earth” political and media beating that the nominee will have to overcome.

      Newt Gingrich has been a member of the ‘progressive’ Council on Foreign Relations since 1990. This NGO, founded in 1921, and bankrolled with BIG MONEY from the Rockefeller Foundation and J. P. Morgan among other internationalists, has been dedicated since its inception to dismantling American sovereignty, de constructing our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and promoting the idea of One World Government! During his long tenure in Congress which began in 1979, and ended in disgrace in 1999, Newt Gingrich supported and even pushed through Congress, as the Minority Whip or as the Speaker of the House, Federally funded loan guarantees to China! This is one of the reasons that China is beating the pants off us today in world trade! In 1993 New Gingrich not only voted for the ‘job destroying’ North American Free Trade Agreement, (NAFTA) but he was also instrumental in getting enough Republican support to pass the bill. In 1994, as the House Minority Whip, Newt voted to support the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) with his vote on GATT! In his position as Minority Whip, he had the power to postpone the vote on GATT, The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, until it could have been modified or defeated in the House, but he chose instead to let the bill pass in a Lame Duck session of Congress! Newt voted in favor of The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade which subjects Americans to the international authority and the regulation of the World Trade Orga

No one candidate ever has every single qualification any one particular voter wishes for. And I think many of us are so incredibly frightened at how this “president” has been shredding apart the foundations that make this country great, that we are agonizing over the possibility of NOT throwing Obama out in 2012. Newt’s last performance gave voice to all the anger we share. However, we need to pick a candidate who is for the time we live in. The REAL ISSUE right now is JOBS, the ECONOMY and GETTING THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR WAY. Many are upset that Romney opened up the door to federal healthcare in Massachusetts. However, because of that experience he does absolutely have a greater understanding of what to do and indeed what NOT to do. Just as Ron Paul, being a doctor, has a greater understanding that Newt on this issue. And having been a successful business owner, he understands the needs of the business owner. I’m tired of seeing businesses in my hometown being shuttered. I’m sticking with Romney.

      Newt Gingrich embodies nearly everything that the Tea Party opposes in the Republican Party. He has supported the individual mandate in Obamacare, climate change legislation, TARP/Wall Street bailouts, Internet censorship, the indefinite detention of Americans without due process, etc., etc. Gingrich IS the big-government establishment that the Tea Party rose up against.

      Sharp debate skills and fierce partisan rhetoric do not make you conservative; nor do “grandiose” thoughts (grandiosity is anti-conservative). What matters is your record. Most conservative House Republicans are alarmed at the prospect of Gingrich and prefer Mitt Romney, who has a more conservative record than Gingrich, if only slightly, and no history of ethics violations

      First the WSJ article about Mitt’s problems with stuffing millions in his IRA, and now this.
      Newt Gingrich avoided tens of thousands of dollars in Medicare payroll taxes in 2010 by using a technique the Internal Revenue Service has consistently and successfully attacked. Republican Presidential candidate Gingrich and his wife, Callista, treated only $444,327 of what they got from Gingrich Holdings. Inc. and Gingrich Productions as compensation to them, while reporting a whopping $2.4 million of their earnings from these corporations as profits or dividends. Medicare taxes are levied at a rate of 2.9% on an unlimited amount of compensation and self-employment income (say, from a consulting contract, speeches or a book) but not on profits from a business.

McKenzie, a past chairman of the Employment Tax Committee of the American Bar Association Tax Section and a member of the IRS’ Advisory Council, added: “There are a multitude of cases where the IRS has successfully challenged the improper tax strategy of this candidate and his accountants.

      Newt is the best candidate we could ask for. Ronald Regan was a moderate conservative, and turned out to be the best President in modern history. Newt is a moderate conservative, who sees the more conservative needs that now are required. He has been there and already done what we need to have done now. He is strong, he is articulate, and his concepts make sense. I like the tea party policies, but we won’t get anything but 4 years of lame duck with a mushy Republican President unless we elect Newt. I also fully believe that none of the other three candidates can beat Obama. Newt always has the facts, raises the question to a higher level of what we need to do and when. I love Glenn Beck, but I don’t agree with him about Newt. We can’t all run around in colonial hats and Santorum or Romney are George Washington. They are not, and we wouldn’t want that. Speaker Newt Gingrich is electable as President because of his political convictions, personal strength, intelligence, articulation, and knowledge of how to get things done in Washington. He would be effective. He is the only one who can help us achieve the American goals. I support Newt Gingrich for President.

      Chris is correct about Newt in that he’s a legislator, or more aptly, a lifelong politician/academic who never had to really produce concrete results. Newt talks a superb game and we all love it, but leopards do not change their spots. If Newt went out as an embarrassment from the House, there’s more than a good chance he does the same if he is elected POTUS.

      Problem is, Romney’s a candy ass.

      So, we’re left to choose between a candy ass RINO and a big government progressive; unless you’re me and vote for Gary Johnson.

      Jaycen,

      Many Ron Paul critics don’t like his foreign policy. I personally think that if they were more logical and willing to listen to true experts like Michael Scheuer,and Colonel Douglas MacGregor (among others) they might realize that Pauls foreign policy is actually the most fiscally responsible, the most Constitutional, and the most Christian.
      However, for you to claim to be a “Constitutional Conservative” and then to call Ron Paul “Prog” is absolute proof that you are clueless about what a “Constitutional Conservative” is and also about what Progressivism is. No politician in our lifetimes has ever come close to Ron Pauls strict adherence to the Constitution, and Paul is the exact opposite of the Progressives. Please educate yourself on the Constitution and the Progressive movement, and on Ron Paul so that you avoid making such ridiculous statements.

Mitt always talks about what he got done as Governor with Democrats at the State level. But look at what Newt got done with the Democrats at the Federal level… the State level is like high school football & the Federal level is like Pro football. The Federal level is all cut throat which is why the Democrats want Mitt to win. The Democrats think even if Obama would lose to a Moderate Mitt, they can still get a lot of their socialism programs done. Mitt is a P.C. guy. He might win some battles. But they know that Newt is a lot more Conservative… he calls a Spade a Spade & Newt can not only win battles but he can win the War!!! If elected President, Newt should tell the Public that he won’t be like Obama… negotiations WILL be on C-Span so people can see the Truth. I believe Newt won’t be like Bush. Newt will keep the American Public informed.
      Mitt is the only one that said he was mixed on appointing Constitutional Judges reported by the survey by FRC.

      Rational Man,

      As usual the ACLU gets it wrong (and so do you). Being anti-war is not a true Progressive stance, In fact, all three of the Progressive presidents I mentioned earlier Wilson, FDR, and Obama, all have in common that they profess an anti-war opinion (because it was the popular opinion) and yet all three deliberately led us into wars. Also Ron Paul does not believe in “gay rights” as the ACLU says. He believes in individual rights. No group rights. He is truly and individualist rather than a collectivist. Collectivism is the trademark of the Progressives and you will never see Paul participate in collectivist thinking. By the way when you group all Ron Paul supporters into one category for convenient disparaging, you are using collectivist thinking.
      Even the example the ACLU uses to imply that Paul is “to the left” of Obama – drug laws, is incorrect. There were no drug laws in America prior to the twentieth century, coinciding with the Progressive Era started by Wilson (and continued by virtually every American President since, with the exception of Calvin Coolidge.
      Progressivism is all about big government control. If you know anything at all about Ron Paul, you know he is the ONE candidate from either party that is furthest from big government control.

      We’ve been conditioned to believe that we are owed a job, and this is why it seems unfair that someone with an “inside track” gets ahead of us.

      But the wages that we get paid come out of the resources that the owner of the company owns. Unless we agree on a contract for a promotion, that future job does not belong to us.

      And it’s always up to the owner who gets a particular job, so I see nothing wrong with a neophyte being promoted before seasoned workers – it‘s the owner’s prerogative.

You are right on the money as far as what was happening when Gingrich was the Speaker Of The House (SOTH). The Dems had a plan and executed it perfectly. Newt was not only a thorn in their side, he was a very real threat to become the favorite politician in DC, scaring the knickers off the Leftists, in government and in our MSM. Every week, it seemed, they would lodge a new charge against the speaker, purposely aiming to keep him on the defense, hoping to distract him from his everyday duties. Of course with each charge the press would join in. As each charge became shown to be almost made of whole cloth, another charge would be hurled. Thus the 83 of 84 and the one for which he fell, there was no doubt to We The People that it really wasn’t a charge that would have been pursued had he been anyone else. As far as your saying that Paul is a Progressive, tells me that instead of just wanting to set the record straight, you want to be just like those Dems, hurling untruths. I’m more to the right than my heros, Goldwater and Buckley, and let me tell you even they weren’t as right as Dr. Paul. To me, extreme right means no government, save for the military. Paul’s positions seem right where they should be in regards to much less government spending and I would place him on the right, all others, slightly to the left of where I would want them

      I was paying attention when Newt was run out of the speakership. 83 of 84 charges dropped as a few have pointed out. Anyone with any brains knows exactly what that means… the establishment was out to get him and made up charges were enough to end his career because the common person would think “84 charges…. surely some of them must be true!”

      He forced a balanced budget on a government that vehemently opposes them and made more than a few enemies. If a president is to do what the people really want (i.e. slash the federal government) he’s going to make a lot of enemies. Don’t think for a second that these people are above lying and fabricating evidence to keep someone from cutting their programs and blocking their agendas.

      Look at his record. Check his rating with the ACU.

I haven’t liked Christie since I found out that he’s a big (literally) believer in man-made global warming. At any rate, seeing as how Romney is the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama in 2008, you’d have to be a complete idiot to think he could get more votes than McCain in 2012 in light of the 2010 election, when true Conservatives swept the state governments and the House of Representatives.

      You know, Venture Capital is a tough business–otherwise, a lot more people would be in it! It is NOT clear to me that Romney is a job-killer, like ‘Chainsaw Al’ of the 80′s, who dismembered more companies at the behest of their boards than Genghis Khan. I’m an MBA (Wharton) and think that with many of those ruined companies, had they done a capabilities assessment and markets assessment, they might have been able to redirect their failing businesses into a more productive area–but Chainsaw Al, not I got the job, and carried it out with vigor! One thing I noticed in business is that labor stays in place for the life of the company, but management often comes and goes (especially with shareholder owned companies, rather than family or founder-owned ones). This gives labor an ‘edge’ in union negotiations, with the strike as the show-stopper! If mangement were as free to ‘lock-out‘ as labor is to ’strike’, it would be a different game. So, over time, labor cuts a deal which can no longer compete in World markets. The only barrier left is tariffs, which distort the cost of goods! So, labor goofs up by being unrealistically greedy; management lets us down by being too lenient; and government lets us down by slamming the door, or opening the flood gates, to give the appearance of something good, to get reelected, rather than take the long-term approach of sitting down, arguing the points, understanding the problem and implementing a more realistic solution.

But he does not represent the views or the vote of Mormons. To the charge of Mitt paying his way into being a bishop, no one “wants” to be bishop. You end up giving up tons of your time helping everyone and getting very little time to work/spend with family/spend by yourself. It is a full time job in and of itself. It is a calling, because it can be quite the burden, especially since he would recieve no pay. It is not a high position of power like you would think.

      @BoatFix.. I like your post because you have actually done some homework. Newt was very popular when he forged a way to obtain the first republican majority in 50 years. Then he went to work on lowering taxes and welfare reform Both ideas were not popular with Bill Clinton and the democrats as well as the GOP progressive establishment. Fact. Nancy Peolis brought up those 87 “ethics” violations. All but one were dismissed as simply false and silly. Yet, after both the Dem progressives and GOP establishment progressives had invested so much into their smear of Newt, they had to pick one issue to stick with. Newt was exhonerated on every other one. Newt chose on the last one to do what many businesses do. It’s cheaper to settle than to fight. That’s where Newt was politically. He wanted to move forward and balance budgets. He paid a “fine” if you can call it that and then proceeded to balance budgets. With respect to Newt’s personal life and his ex wives, I know well enough that it takes BOTH sides of a marriage to break it up. I suspect Newt has fault in those marriages as well as do his ex wives. I certainly don’t have all the facts of those break ups and really, is it our position to judge. I simply read Newts positions on Newt.org. Agree with them and know that he has already went up against the democrats and the GOP establishment. This time, he has nothing to gain other than securing a better future for his grandchilden.

      @Tired of Code Names

      Great post! It seems you are one of the few that know the true history of Gingrich, instead of being one of many who just listen to the talking points of others. I didn’t realize that the mass smear campaign that has been imposed on folks like Sarah Palin, is a tactic that progressives have been using for so many years. Until I looked into the facts of Gingrich’s “ethics violations”. It‘s the same thing and it’s disgraceful that Christie and Romney are using the Dems dispicable tactic against one of their own……………..IMO

      Which reminds me of Ann Colter. Can she possibly become anymore irrelevant to conservatives than she has made herself in the last couple of years?

      @Rational Man, Agree totally with you on Ann Colter. I used to like her. She’s a troll for whichever side of an argument that will sell her another book. With respect to Gingrich, it’s funny to see people post that Gingrich was for global warming, or that ethanol is bad (I don’t like it, but, it’s not a green environmentalist position). If you actually look at most of the legislation that Gingrich voted for, it is apparent that Newt conceded a few things to GAIN many things. Personally, I think Congress is going to be deadlocked for years to come if we as a people can’t figure out how to get the progressives out of their. They asked for compromise 50 years ago. Conservatives compromised. And now the progressives want us to compromise over and over again. I know a little bit about math. When you compromise on a position, say 50/50, you are half way from your core belief. If you compromise again, you are 25% away from your core belief. IF you compromise the third time your are 12.5% away from your core belief. That may be a bit dramatic, but, conservatives have compromised enough with the progressives. They need to compromise back in our direction. Everyone knows it. Why won’t anybody but Newt say it? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

      @Tired of Code Names

      Excellent point about compromise. Conservatives are trying to pull out of the downward spiral of compromising with the left to get things done. All that gets done anymore is the left wing agenda and conservatism is fading to the point of invisiblity. I think Gingrich has seen the writting on the wall and will stand firm for conservatism if in the White House. After all, standing firm on conservative principles in the ’90s is what put him in the crosshairs of progressive Dems and their smear campaignin the first place,(aka ethics violations).
      I am hoping that Gingrich will be bullish for conservatism if given the White House pulpit. As I see it, we’re not taking any more of a chance on Gingrich than we would if one of the others won……Except for Paul, of coarse. But we don’t have to worry ourselves about that since he will be retiring soon…………………

      -Who has Obama appointed to the SCOTUS? Two of the most rabid anti-gunners he could find
      -Within a week of his election in 08′ his transition team posted several elements of his gun ban agenda on the internet at change.gov, but then abruply deleted the webpage
      -In 1996, Obama endorsed a total ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of all handguns.
      -In 98, Obama endorsed a ban on the sale or transfer of all semi-autos
      -in 99, Obama supported a 500% increase in federal taxes on ammo
      -in 03′ Obama voted to ban even single shot, over under an side by side shotguns
      -in 04′ Obama said the right to carry shoudl be banned nationwide…even going so far as to say you shouldn’t be allowed a gun in your own home for self defense.
      -As an IL legislator, voted against a bill that would have exempted residence from prosecution for using a handgun for self defense in their own home
      -In 2009, his attorney general, admited Obama wanted to ban semi-auto firearms.
      -In 2010, top officials at the EPA said they had the power to impose a ban on lead ammunition.
      -In 2011 the Interior Dept announced it was considering bans on target shooting on public lands.
      -What was Fast and Furious was all about?

      Obama knew the 2nd was too much to bite off during his first term, and is biding his time for when reelection is no long

      It will be tough to beat Obama regardless. But if you really believe Mitt has a better shot than Gingrich you are dead wrong. For better or worse(worse), people are fired up about “financial inequality”, Obama is going to push that issue and depend on the passion it incites. Electing Romney is playing directly into BHO’s hands. You’ll have Obama, a master orator/manipulator vs a billionaire who stumbles on his words and pays “somewhere around 15% in taxes”. Newt isn’t quite the orator that Obama is, but he has 10x the knowledge, the ability to articulate that knowledge, he has experience, and is as close to matching Obama‘s slick tongue as you’ll find. If there was ever a bad time for a billionaire word fumbler to rep the GOP it’s now. If there was ever a time when America could care less about personal past issues of a candidate, its now. The number of Cable TV viewers has exploded in the past 3.5 years, as has the ability to watch TV material online when it is missed. The debates WILL be the most important aspect of the Presidential Election. And for those clinging to this belief that Romney can get Moderate voters, Romney is a SOCIAL MODERATE, and a fiscal conservative billionaire. Just as will be the case on the right and left this year, for moderates social issues will be left in the background noise as fiscal and financial issues will be what matters. Gingrich can say he’s balanced the budget, that he’s worked with Reagan, and he can improvise in debates whe

      Ron Paul can’t claim purity when it comes to corporate subsidies. The Washington Post reported that he pressed the U.S. energy secretary in 2008 to approve a federal loan guarantee to expand a nuclear facility in Texas.

      This contradicts statements Paul made in his 1981 book “Gold, Peace, and Prosperity,” in which he slams federally guaranteed loans, calling them “the most significant contributing factor to our inflation.”

      Paul insists that the government should let the free market determine how energy is produced. He told the left-leaning Grist magazine in 2007 that research and development subsidies “are bound and determined to always misdirect money to political cronies,” and he criticized the federal government for providing ethanol subsidies.

      Paul tried to help certain industries by co-sponsoring legislation that included tax credits. One bill from 2011 promised $5 billion in credits to the natural gas industry. Another measure from 2009 promoted fuel efficiency with a $2,000 deduction for individuals who swapped gas guzzlers for fuel-efficient cars.
      As for earmarks, the congressman requested at least $157 million for fiscal year 2011, and another $398 million for fiscal year 2010, according to his congressional Web site. The provisions included $2.5 million for a “Historic Downtown Redevelopment Project” in Baytown, Texas; $8 million for replacing recreational fishing piers damaged during hurricanes; and $18 million for ship canal operations

      Since first entering Congress, Newt has put the interests of American entrepreneurs, producers and consumers first, as he supported the historic Reagan tax cuts, then went against many in his own party to oppose the George Bush and Clinton tax hikes. When the North American Free Trade Agreement in came up for a vote in 1993, Newt recalled the words of Ronald Reagan in 1979: “A developing closeness among Canada, Mexico, and the United States–a North American accord–would permit achievement of that potential in each country beyond that which I believe any of them, strong as they are, could accomplish in the absence of such cooperation.”
      Although controversial at first, NAFTA has created vast new opportunities for American producers and consumers. In the first fifteen years after NAFTA’s passage, U.S. industrial production rose 57% and unemployment averaged 5.1%. In the decade preceding the trade agreements, industrial production only rose 28% and unemployment average 7.1%.

    People tend to make decisions based on emotion, then spin logic to justify the decision. This may work in the short term but eventually, just like with Obama, it becomes buyer’s remorse. Newt riled up emotion better than any other candidate. Before making a decision, be open to all available facts, think critically, and keep emotions in check. Newt = another buyer’s remorse situation.

      Actually, he doesn’t. Newt was not fined, but volunteerily helped pay the cost for the letter he signed by his lawyer which he himself asked his fellow Republicans to “find him quilty” of to end all the bs violations the Dems had on him. What was it like 84 violations and he was cleared of 83, and gave up fighting on the last one to get back to governing. I hate how history is constantly re-written in this country. And when Newt gets the nomination, Christy just gave the Obama admin a nice commercial….good job Chris, add to the lies that Obama will be more than happy to pursue.

      We have Juan Williams and John King to thank if this bloated creature becomes president. (I mean Gingrich, not Christie.)

      Newt did not surge in SC at the last minute on his own merits, but through the timidity of his media interlocutors, proof that it is not media hostility but media incompetence that matters.

      Williams should have rounded on Gingrich: “Don’t you realize that most food stamp recipients are white? or that many actually have jobs?”

      King’s task was way simpler: “Then why did you declare Clinton unfit to be president in 1998? You claim to be a changed man. Very well, do you admit that you were a huge hypocrite and no better than the man you persecuted for a year, wasting Congress‘ and the nation’s time?” And: “Are you calling your ex-wife a liar?”

      That should have done it.

      Drako it doesn’t matter if the person black white or Asian the fact remains the economy is in the tank which therefore leads to more dependency on the government, so therefore he is in fact the foodstamp president race aside stop throwning race in the mix. And as far as ex-wives go I have three neighbors who recently just got divorced as well as my nephew and guess what they have in common? I’m not saying that women are bad (as men) can be just as misleading towards the development of why the divorce took place.

      What is the motive? Here is my “motive.”

      I have always agreed with almost everything Beck has said. I love his ability to bring news to the people that the MSM just won’t or refuses to cover. But on Gingrich, Beck and I disagree. My eyes were opened the last presidential cycle to how I had been manipulated for all of my life by the MSM. I saw how Palin was absolutely crucified by the media and Obama got a total pass. I see how the MSM totally ignores Fast and Furious, wasted stimulus money, Solyndra, the pipeline, etc. Gingrich is the first candidate who is actually saying what I have wanted my candidates to say…what I have been feeling for the last 3 years. Romney is just like McCain. He won‘t say anything we haven’t already heard from a politician. I also don’t trust Romney to get rid of Obamacare. I don’t think he will really try to repeal, only let the states get out of the mandates.

      I feel that the MSM is our biggest problem. Until they are fully exposed as being an arm of the democratic party, it is too hard for conservatives to move forward. I believe Newt’s place is to expose the MSM for what they are. In addition, Newt was able to get Clinton to sign welfare reform and at least have a so called “balanced budget.”

      I‘m sorry I’m an embarrassment to you, but with the field of crappy choices we have, I just have to go with what I see as the biggest problem, which is the MSM not reporting the truth or at least both sides. They n

      @LibertyGoddess

      Are you being serious or delusional? I’d like to know who you think might be a better candidate than Newt? Give me a break! Let’s look at the facts instead of spewing nonesense? As far as I can gather, there are only 4 candidates left; Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul. Most of us would agree, that really this race is among the top tier candidates, which means Paul has no chances irregardless of what the Paulbots in this forum think. He’s irrelevant and should go away.

      Second, while I might agree with Santorum on values, there are certain issues that he’s got to address before he can win enough votes to overtake Romney. In my view, he should drop out now, but if he doesn’t that fine. I think it will only help Newt in the long term.

      Now the race is clearly between Romney and Newt, so based on your comments I we can assume that you are throwing your support for the former? Is that correct? Otherwise, you‘re a nut and your voice shouldn’t matter. Lastly, if you think the Romney such a great candidate, then tell us why. I just can’t see how anybody can get around his habitual flip-flopping. That should bother you more than any mistakes that Newt has done.

And please give me any references to Newt Gingrich last known affiliation dates meetings etc. with the CFR? What transpired in South Carolina if you look at all the exiting polls then apparently over 2.5 million voters in essence what you people say are bigots correction only the 40% that voted for Newt Gingrich. So 73% of the populace on this blog believe that South Carolina citizens are bigots.
