My toes are crossed in hope that Bristol Palin will be the VP selection.

Phueeeukkkk! I can just hear the PR firms, lawyers, and accountants working out the details trying to time this announcement with Kate and Sarah's liposuction procedure.

Cha Ching!

65 trillion dollars?
You need a man with a plan.

You need to look at our debt as a percentage of GNP and realize that while the idjuts in Washington are trying their best to break the 1946 record of 128% we aren�t quite there yet.

We fixed it before and can do it again if someone has a good plan like Newt:


Focus on Job Creation

Washington is focused on the wrong issues.

The number one problem in America is the lack of economic growth required to create jobs.
Americans are in pain from unemployment, the collapse of housing values, and the rising cost of gasoline and other commodities.

It is impossible to balance the budget at 8 or 9 % unemployment. If we add those who are underemployed or who have dropped out of the job market, this more inclusive unemployment rate (U-6) is nearly 16%. Job creation is the most important step to balancing the budget, so we can move the millions of people consuming tax revenue off unemployment and welfare into jobs where they are being productive and paying taxes.

The March report that 42.1% of African American teenagers were unemployed is a warning about a social crisis of enormous pain and destruction. When nearly half of a group of people cannot find work, there will be tremendous social and personal costs. Some of our greatest cities are becoming ghost towns as economic decay and joblessness destroy the very fabric of the community.

The pain of unemployment is being compounded by inflation. Even those with jobs increasingly can�t afford to fill up the tank of their car or truck. So people are in pain as earners and as customers.

The leading cause of the rising cost of gasoline is a destructive Federal Reserve System. The Bernanke policy of printing money is setting the stage for massive inflation. Cheap dollars become expensive oil, gold, silver and other commodities. Expensive oil translates into expensive food since energy is vital to food production, processing and distribution.

We have been here before. In the late 1970's, President Jimmy Carter's destructive policies led to stagflation.
Stagflation was the combination of economic decline with inflation.

Traditional economists did not know what to do.

Every time they stimulated the economy by increasing the money supply it led to rising interest rates and inflation. The rising interest rates then cut off economic growth and pushed Americans back into unemployment.

Congressman Jack Kemp, economist Art Laffer and Wall Street Journal writer Jude Wanniski developed a model of "supply side" economics which mopped up the inflation with a combination of tax cuts, deregulation, constant reinforcement of entrepreneurs and investors and a bold change in Federal Reserve policy to promote a stable dollar.

Washington today must undertake five parallel policies designed to create jobs, put Americans back to work, rebuild the housing market and cut off inflation before it grows out of control:

1. Pass a powerful tax cut and regulatory reform package designed to launch a decade of job creation and economic growth;

2. Pass an American energy program that creates jobs here at home. An American energy program would not just create jobs in the energy sector. Lowering the cost of gasoline, heating oil, and electricity would stimulate job creation throughout the economy;

3. Repeal Obamacare before it does permanent damage to our health system and economy;

4. Bring the Federal Reserve under control by insisting on a sound dollar policy and by exposing and investigating the billions in secret deals the Fed used to shift money to giant foreign and American banks;

5. Cut spending decisively to create the fiscal space for a pro-growth economic policy.
As the Congress approaches the debt ceiling debate and other future confrontations with the Obama Administration, it must make sure job creation is the number one focus.
America only works when Americans are working. That is the heart of our current crisis.


Newt has a plan; anyone got a better one?

Obviously, I'm not the only one here who's in dire need of a brain transplant.

And whoever said that misery loves company was miles off the mark.

Newt thinks he can get it since the gop is scraping the bottom of the barrel

Personally, I don't want Newt to run.

That being said, if Newt ends up at the top of the ticket all of us better be voting and voting often. Otherwise, you will see complete destruction of what little we have left.

An example: do you really think the paki's would be telling the US to "watch out" if they ever come across the border again if we didn't have a ball massager on Penna Ave. ? Forget about his willful disregard for all things US (sure-go ahead and send them guns over the border-that will help with my GC agenda).

Everyone better be thinking about their families and their future. It does NOT REST WITH THE JOCKEY, Valerie J, Van J, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, Reid, Frank, etc.

99% of the people on this board have not seen, first hand, what political correctness, agendas and corruption can do to destroy a country. I have. You think you are frustrated now and not sure what to do? You haven't seen anything yet. Next term the real pros will come knocking.

Rant over.

all i will say is that the republican party better come up with someone that can unite the party and quit with all of these people that only own a fraction of the Conservative cause.

How many Does this make it on the republican ticket?

imho, half of whats on the ticket will only divide the other half and we'll lose again

at least obama talks a good game. newt can't even sound pissed about open borders

that's for sure

Dreams, dream, dreamers, dreaming, dreamily, dream t,
.... more to follow.

We're all gallumpin' 'round the barn as if the two crucial facts are just one. The TWO are incontrovertible.

� The candidate who's most likely to win isn't going to be without serious flaws.

� The sorriest Republican candidate will be a better choice than the best Demoncrat candidate.

Be careful what you wish for. The last [bleep] for brains 2 term Rep. Pres. elect catapulted the current POUS into office. Your persistent lowest common denominator strategy may well put Pervez Musharraf in office the next go around.

Boy howdy.

True but then look at the [bleep] he ran against. The left as a whole thought they were really voting against Bush the moderate. But guess what his name wasn't even on the ballot. No if you have brains you vote for the people on the ballot not against the ones that aren't.

Obama is toast unless he can pull a real load of economy out of his ass! With his fiscal policy that isn't going to happen.

Newt has a plan�IMMIGRATION:

Control the Border First by Newt Gingrich Posted 05/12/2010 ET
"Control the border first" ought to be the battle cry of every citizen who is tired of leftwing elites trying to use charges of racism to blackmail us into accepting perpetually unsecured borders and amnesty for millions.
�Control the border first� is the legitimate demand of Americans concerned about national security and personal safety.
The President, as Commander in Chief, has a constitutional obligation to control the border.
However, instead of executing this duty, he has actually blocked the limited efforts of the Bush Administration, stopping the construction of a �virtual fence� until more studies can be done as to its effectiveness.
The fact that President Obama refuses to fulfill his national security obligations and instead is trying to arouse public fear and divide the country is a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of his Oath of Office.�
******
�I voted for and President Reagan signed the Simpson-Mazzoli immigration act of 1986 because we were promised:
1. Control of the border;
2. A practical, viable guest-worker program to offer a legal avenue to economic opportunity; and
3. A tough policy with American employers who broke the law for their own enrichment.
In return, the Simpson-Mazzoli Act was supposed to grant amnesty to what was then estimated to be 300,000 people.
The total number of people amnestied turned out to be 3 million.
Having given amnesty and gotten nothing in return, the American people are increasingly angry about their federal government's failure to do its job.
The Arizona law was a reaction to Washington's failure to protect America and keep Americans safe.�

The right answer for Washington is to meet its responsibilities: 1) Control the border; 2) Pass common sense immigration reform, including a guest worker program and intense enforcement aimed at illegal employers (without whom there would be no magnet to draw in people outside the law); and 3) Ensure that all Americans can live in safety in a law abiding country.
At that point the Arizona law would become moot and unneeded. Let's solve the problem, not the symptom.
*****

OK. He better promise tough on Americans that hire illegals. A little prison time for those employers, and he'll have my vote.

I've said this many times before, "Newt would be the best President since Reagan, maybe better". Problem is I don't think he can beat BHO, not sure anyone can.

I have been and am still of the opinion that Romney will be the nominee. Notice I am not endorsing him or anyone else.

You just insured the Palins make another million this year. Thanks from the Palin family.

Romney all you have to do is look in the mirror and say Romneycare. If your face doesn't wrinkle up you know you're and moderate and can stomach voting for him. Just tell yourself he's electable.

The other side of the "Hope and Change" coin is rampant in frustrated conservatives, just like it was in frustrated liberals prior to Obama's election. We are in desparate need of an experienced statesman right now, not another rock star.

That's pretty damned funny, considering that he was saying just the opposite six months ago. Fuggem, he won't get my vote, no way, no friggin' how.
He can only turn himself inside out so many times before everyone sees him for what he is.
