"Hope Change" on what a Newt win could look like
Commenter "Hope Change" makes an effective argument in the pro-Newt 2012 potus bucket at National Review after article Why Newt Could Win at NPR by Michael Walsh.
I really enjoy this type of commenter, logical, informed, enthusiastic and participating in helping to save American in 2012. Here are Miss or Mister "Hope Change" comments:
"Newt will be an outstanding president.
If Newt is the nominee, Newt will win the election, and conservatives will increase in the House and win the Senate. Newt is asking the American People to team up with him. The genius of the American People is what will restore our country to its constitutional basis.
The plan is to repeal Obamacare the first day. The plan is to coordinate with the House and Senate to have the legislation ready on the day Newt is sworn in. Then start with the legislature on a series of small, specific bills to make health care better, based on the patient-doctor relationship.
Also, eliminate all the czars the first day by Executive Order. Because they serve at the will of the president and are created by the president, the czar positions can by law be eliminated by Executive order. This will be done that afternoon, as the Obamas are on Air Force One returning to Chicago. Or Hawaii.
Newt's team is working already on between 100 and 200 Executive Orders for that afternoon, to make a significant change right away to return the country to its Constitutional principles.
Be the time next fall's election is coming up, there will the a clear 21st Century Contract With America up on Newt's website, as well as legislation the newly-elected conservatives will be promising to pass.
The goals are reasonable and sooooo beneficial: to lower TAX RATES (which will raise TAX REVENUES; see the Laffer Curve), to simplify regulations for the benefit of American businesses, to reduce the corporate tax rate so the billions held overseas can come home... and so much more.
You will find out about all of this, that Newt has in mind, if you take a look.
Self-government is a privilege and an experiment. Benjamin Franklin said we have a Republic "if you can keep it." That's us he was talking about. Are we such sad excuses for a free people that we will fail? Not on my watch, not if I can help it.
Think of the ones who have gone before us who have sacrificed so much so that we might live in freedom and prosperity.
We owe something to them, and to our children and grandchildren, not to let their freedoms and future prosperity be frittered away by feckless socialists and insanely irresponsible, big-spending Establishment Republicans.
If you are thinking about supporting Newt, the best thing you can possibly do is find out for yourself.
The internet gives us power. (No SOPA!) Power to the People. The Little People.
The treasure trove of original sources.
Here are some of Newt's older speeches. Over time, you can see the ideas developing. It's an education. But wait, there's more: it's entertaining. And it's something you will never find out from the MSM.
Here are 17 speeches with CONVENIENT LINKS:External Link
Oh, and since the 90's seems to be the new meme, here are links about the 90's. Newt was cleared: External Link
Original sources put the power in your hands. The MSM can't stop you.
If you watch these speeches, you will understand why so many people support Newt. It's actually very exciting. It's new American revolution.
It will restore prosperity using the Reagan template.
And the American people are the sine qua non; the People are the intelligence and energy behind it."
THANK you for your well thought out comments and passion "Hope Change"... !

Newt rising: unhappy electorate speaking with votes
Speaker Mr. Gingrich won the recent SC vote and might win in Florida, too. Mostly in favor of Newt, I did have a big problem with him endorsing Dede Scozzafava-beans (she is a horrid, evil viscious woman) and I cringe at the on-the-couch-with-PeeLousy pic seemingly endorsing AGW. Yep, Gingrich has made mistakes. But... noone is perfect. Gingrich is a flawed human. Just like everyone. Regarding his womanizing: yawn, so what? The 2nd wife making the ABC news with her vindictivness was his mistress first. She cannot throw stones: she lives in a glass house. Noone buying her shite except ABC.
Regarding leftists who now scream "character matters!!!", I remember the 8 years of non stop "its OK, sex and personal lives have NO impact on a president's duties..." media mantra over and over again their boy Billy "I did not have sex with that (Monica Lewinsky) woman" Clinton. (or ANY loony leftist - remember Edwards or Weiner?!) The LEFT and their lacky media zombies ARE the party of NO CHARACTER! The media wants to throw womanizing mud against Gringich?! NOT gonna stick, nope, South Carolinans spoke loudly: they roared.
Remember: think critcally - there are no perfect candidates, people or politicians. Some wanted NJ's Christie (no conservative no way) or Lt Col Allen West to run for potus. Even T.E.A. party favorite West has made doozy mistakes as a freshman in Congress. Example: West voted for the black payouts in the Pigford sham... Et tu Allen?
Will Gingrich keep the lead? The more the Dems, media, RINOS and pundits like Karl Rove and Ann Coulter slam the Newt... the more I think I like him. (A flawed old fuddy duddy white guy to replace the magical healing mullatto One?) Oh yea..!!! ... Plus, Newt is a fighter and correct on lots of stuff... recently regarding Keystone and the O-stupidity:

the day a brain surgeon operated on me
I watched some re-runs of Grey’s Anatomy Sunday morning as we waited for rain to clear.
On a summer day many years ago as a teen still living at my mother’s house, I was chopping an onion. I was not paying close attention and the knife gently sliced deeply into the tip of the middle finger. The initial cut didn’t actually hurt that much, but onion juice seeped into my open finger.
Ow...
I rinsed my hand in cold water and squeezed it firmly with a paper towel to stop the bleeding.
The bleeding was profuse and was not stopping. I held my finger tight re-wrapping it with paper towels a few times they got soaked with blood.
“Mom... it’s not stopping...” I whimpered... “Should I go to the hospital?”
My mom, amused yet slightly perturbed that dinner preparation was now fully interrupted by a bleeding kid, came up with an idea.
“Let’s call Dr. Cunningham” she announced and picked up the phone.
The Cunninghams lived on the next block. They had lots of kids (7? 8?) and a huge, beautiful house. Their oldest daughter was my age and they had another daughter my younger sister’s age. We had been at their home several times for parties or to hang out and watch TV with Cunningham girls. Their kitchen was big. It had an island with stools in the middle, lots of tasteful dark wood and preppy dark navy blue and white color decor. I loved going to their house just to look at it. Mrs. Cunningham was an interior designer for rich clients and their home showcased her talent.
Dr. Cunningham was a successful brain surgeon highly respected in his field. He was a dashingly handsome man. Mrs. Cunningham was beautiful with short, wild, fluffy red hair and a permanent tan. Their kids were good looking, too. There were a few internal family fights throughout the years when passions and tempers flared – they looked like a perfect wealthy family but no, they weren’t perfect. Everyone has their share of problems of course, rich or poor.
“Hi Miles, this is Betty...” my mom said when he picked up the line. “Lisa just cut her finger badly and we’re not sure if we should go into the hospital, what do you think we should do?” she politely probed.
“....Oh...? OK... wonderful...! We’ll be right there, thank you so much” she declared as she hung up the phone. “We’re going to the Cunningham’s” said mom.
I put a fresh paper towel on my now throbbing finger and she and I drove the one minute to their house.
“Hi there Lisa, let’s take a look shall we?” says Dr. C smiling as we enter the back door into their lovely kitchen. My mom greets Mrs. C and a couple younger kids.
All of a sudden I realize my mother, Mrs. C and the kids had vacated the kitchen.
They had left me.
I was alone with Dr. C.
He was now getting a small surgery kit out of a drawer and I sat on a designer stool at their large island in the middle of their showcase kitchen awaiting my fate.
“You need a stitch or two” he happily quipped as he found the correct sized curved suture needle.
The fear set in but I swallowed and braced myself for some pain.
Dr. Cunningham deftly took my finger with his left hand and swiftly put a stitch in exact right spot while I glanced away. He knotted it and said “Just one stitch will do... Leave it in for a few days. I can take it for you when it heals”. The non-absorbable stitch took maybe 2-3 seconds. I was no longer bleeding. I was whole again. I went to find my mother who was down the hall in their gorgeous living room chatting away with Mrs. C.
“I needed a stitch...” I informed them and held up my finger. Crisis over.
“Thank you ...!” we both said to the Cunninghams as mom and I left a few minutes later.
I ponder how many stitches Dr. C had done on his own kids with his trusty surgery kit in their kitchen drawer. My small wound healed beautifully. I cut and pulled out the nylon string out of my finger myself a week later when it was loose.
Dr. Cunningham is retired now after, presumably, millions of stitches he did as a surgeon... A few years ago, he and Mrs. C downsized to tasteful smaller home. Their kids are all out on their own as successful adults with busy designer lives.
Sometimes I wonder if Dr. Cunningham remembers the time he gave my finger a single expert single stitch (doubt it). But I do ponder it on occasion – especially when I slice some onions... I do that much more carefully now.
