He has some great ideas on how to put this country back on track. Plus, he's not afraid of Obama and will take him to task. IMO Newt's better than Romney or Huntsman. He is not my first choice but I think he is pretty good candidate and that he has changed since 1994 and his earlier positions. Plus, I believe that he is a pragmatist since he even said he would institute Ryan's plan for either medicare or social security (not sure which one) - but he would have it voluntary instead of forced on the people.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-87659720046182585492011-12-06T19:40:45.166-07:002011-12-06T19:40:45.166-07:00I like what Bill Maher said about Gingrich, "...I like what Bill Maher said about Gingrich, "He's a professor of idiocy."<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-79680495312272651532011-12-06T17:42:56.330-07:002011-12-06T17:42:56.330-07:00Leticia said...
