Why the Tea Party Likes Newt Gingrich

Back to blog

The tea party is a failure. Unlike the original tea party which threw off government suppression the new standard is to embrace it. This is clearly seen with the tea party's support of Newt Gingrich who not only has worked hand in hand with the same large corporations that are corrupt but had to pay a 300,000$ ethics fine and took a wopping 1.6 million from Freddie Mac in the 90's. VOTE RON PAUL the only guy with a shred of honesty in his bones.

Putting all the farmers to work teaching the world that democracy is not about trying to make a silk purse from sow's ears so the principle is understood.
Democracy exported without that training is little more than the send off of a fraudulent product, and invites global destruction through political, corporate, and economic corruption.
That principle is ever so evident in the GOP candidate lineup, but the prinicples are not limited to candidates or parties; it is influencing Congress, the Supreme Court, and the corporate atmosphere.

People are p****d off about government robbing social security.
People are p****d about the wholesale disparagment of the Constitution.
The FAILURE to investigate 9/11 s a criminal act; The audacity of Fast & Furious cover-up, which proram is another attempt (by progressive elites from both parties) to increase regulations against ownership of weapons to defend the country from bureaucrats, and;
The ABSOLUTE corruption throughout Washington DC are just a few thigs for starters.
The vicious progressive mainstream media attacks against a grass-rooted politician like Sarah Palin are reason enough to THROW THEM ALL OUT. The country has had enough of the corruption inherent in fiat money and politicians taking over the lives of American citizens. There will be a relentless effort to restore integrity amongst all public servants, whatever it takes.

Keep telling yourself all this BS and watch the Tea Party pull another rabbit out of it's hat.
I realize you Leftists want your Squatters to have the same influence that the Tea Party had and has, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Oh brucetee
Our economics worked just fine and I have backed them with evidence many times. Is not my fault you didn't read it and just skipped over stuff above you head.
Folks voted OUT obama backers Nov. 2, 2010. Not all, but many in record number ACROSS THIS NATION. Another No. 2, 2010 and Democrats will be on the endanger species list.
Democrats learned nothing and continue same old ways. Not all for sure. obuma's budget & job bills BIT THE DUST.
SECRETLY loaning $$$ trillions to foreign banks is going to go over LIKE A LEAD BALLON when it goes public. Say around ELECTION TIME...

I hope Newt is our candidate. Things that Newt did that did not exist before Newt:
1. Balanced budget.
2. Surplus.
3. Reform of Welfare.
4. Last civil rights bill.
5. Smaller government..
6. Shoring up entitlements.
That sounds like TEA to me.

Newt's “21st Century Contract With America”
http://www.newt.org/21st-century-contract-america
___
As far as the ethic charges, all charges was dismissed except for IRS matters concerning class he taught expanded by 2. Those court decided in Newt's favor. Thus voiding out ALL CHARGES except for a few minor ones.
Yes Newt is divorced several times. So is what 2/3 or 3/4 of all adults. I do not call that a determining factor. Maybe you do.
History shows us a third party would surely elect obuma if cut from conservative side. Opposite holds true if say H. Clinton ran.
Nothing is for sure until the fat lady sings, but as of now, appears Newt is THE MAN. I see little reason for change since Newt is well equipped for attack on the ethics issue since court ruled him innocent. Not to mention he got prior approval on teaching that class from ethic committee before doing. Little is mentioned on that fact. I have mentioned 2 comments many times that tell the story...
When the following information becomes public, any of our candidates could beat obuma:
“Secret Federal Reserve System data released December 1 reveals that the banking cartel (the Fed and its member banks) bailed itself out to the tune of more than $10 tri"Fed Data Reveals Trillions in Bailouts to Big Foreign Banks"llion in “emergency” funds, with trillions more going to line the pockets of big European and foreign banks"
"The $700 billion Wall Street bailout turned out to be pocket change compared to trillions and trillions of dollars in near zero interest loans and other financial arrangements that the Federal Reserve doled out to every major financial institution," said self-described socialist Senator Sanders after learning about the Fed data.”
