Re: Newt to Suspend Campaign on May 1!

It's pretty much a fixed fight...so there's no point of us fighting over it.

That's my problem with politics. It matters too much to those who it shouldn't matter to and not at all to those who it should.

I didn't ask you to lie. I just asked you to clarify your original inference that I was lying, and my assumption was correct--based on your truthful answer. Your original comment was beneath you. It was unnecessary and uncalled for.

I don't know of any politicians that have always told the truth--including (if not especially) Newt. I'm not even convinced about Abe Lincoln, although I believe he was an admirable man.

Also, up until this point, I don't believe I have stated that I support Romney. I've been following the whole process both on this forum and in the news with interest and amusement and occasionally frustration. I haven't entered into the fray enough for you to even know fully what my opinions are or who I support. You, on the other hand, have made your opinions very clear, and so I added the comment about your reboot to be funny. Not to attack you. I'll have to go back and check, because I'm pretty sure MULTIPLE other posters have made similar cracks about your love affair with NG without a similar response. I'm not sure why my posts get your goat so badly. This reminds me of the Ann Coulter thread. Heaven forbid anyone disagree with you, because they'll get their heads snapped off. Oh, wait. You only do that to ME if I disagree with you.

You might want to examine that festering sore and figure out why my posts grate on your nerves so much. This thread was intended to be about Newt Gingrich's resignation and I added the other part for humor. The emoticons, too, and apparently grinning emoticons speak "jerk" to you.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I don't have as much of a problem with the Global Warming issue. Before the IPCC emails were hacked into and released in 2009, there was large support that Global Warming was happening. I thought that we contributed to some degree.

“First of all, I did the commercial with Pelosi to make a case that conservatives ought to be prepared to stand in the arena and debate."

This really allows you to fully understand Newt Gingrich, IMO. He has always had a quest to fashion solutions and that is how he came up with Contract for America. The problem is that the left has treated Global Warming as a political issue and that left Newt sitting on a sawed off branch. He's a brilliant man that thinks on a totally different level and, IMO, he is largely misunderstood.

Newt is on record with his testimony in Congress against Gore on the Cap and Trade. He argues that he has always defended a "free market" approach. You can view that here. Brilliant rebuttal!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzDut...layer_embedded


Gingrich's earlier program on cap and trade (2007) was in regard to "sulfur", which is a real pollutant. That isn't related to the Global Warming issue though. In 2007 he introduced a measure to regulate CO2 "if" free markets were involved. Politifact even had this to say, "But we found solid evidence he did, with the condition that carbon caps be combined with tax incentives to encourage energy companies to innovate."

He always argues the side of "free market" and "tax incentive" solutions. Gingrich always explained that his idea and the left's idea of cap and trade showed two fundamentally different approaches. He was never in favor of allowing the government , but the markets, to be the mechanism to enforce it.

It's beneath me to answer your question? I'm not going to lie when I answer your question. I don't believe you were telling the truth - plain and simple. I don't believe your three little smiles were meant in fun or to be funny - period.

You can say it was unnecessary and uncalled for if you want - but you asked! And I answered you.

I can't believe he even sat on the couch with her. She is nauseating. I can't decide whether or not Al Gore is worse. I think I would have said Pelosi was worse--until the Poodle episode. Now I can't stand to even think about Al Gore.

Why else would I put them there? You make NO sense. I had NO malicious motives when I posted this thread. NONE. You responded with ice and nails and I got the message really quick.

You can put this post with your original post and see where I get your intent. And it is perfectly fine to post whatever you want about the candidates, I do it. But, don't come to me telling me your first post was in jest and meant to be funny. I'm not that stupid.
