Troublemaker

The problem with Newt is he has a mind of his own. Why can't he be like the Dems who take their marching orders from Barney Frank and Harry Ried and do as they are told. Newt is his own man and really doesn't give a hoot who disagrees with him.

Right, Carter economics worked much, much better....

Capitalism can be brutal. However, ask the 100MM murder victims of communist regimes in the 20th century which one they'd prefer....oh, sorry, you can't...they're dead.

Whether you like him or not, Gingrich is a bright, principled guy, and not the boogey man the Democrats successfully made him out to be when he was in office. We need more folks like hm.

In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future. I follow a economist named bob proctor who has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly. He perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown ,and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years Is terrifying. He thinks it will be worse then the great depression. Banks in the US are going under one after the other. Country wide the largest morgage bank in the world Bear Stearns and Lehman brothers , and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. And now Fanny and Freddy which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States. The goverment took them over because they are essentially bankrupt. If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash And we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before The future of these companies will fall into the hands of our next president
Bush just like Mcain doesn't understand the economy.

That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it
He does not understand exactly what is broken. Its no surprise that he doesnt. The people that make up these
securities use complex math models very few people understand.
Bush and mccain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.


Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks take risks with all of our future.
Now Phil Graham is the head of mccains economic policy ,and mccain wants to make him the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time bush met with his economic advisors was in march. He either didnt realize or didnt care that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy in our lifetime.
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as bush has done mccain would be
incredibly worse because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 deficit. Most of Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will do get what you have always __________

When it comes to policy bush and mccain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?

The chairman of mcains campaign recently said that people don't vote on issues

they vote on a personality composite which means. He is trying to sell you personality instead of results.
He believes people will vote against there own self interests.

Lets teach him we are smarter then that .
Hold them accountable now while it will still help
Elect Obama Biden 2008

I have now found that the Republican party is useless. I have been a Republican all of my 68 years and I will no longer do that. You make me sick. You are as bad as the Democrates. Both of you are playing a stupid game which hurts all of the people. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Bob Barr is a better candidate than Obama or McCain. Youare all useless.

And you Ms. Clift are doing what you always "love to do". Spouting your totally biased left wing rhetoric. The truth is the Democrats caused this mess. Jack Welch, an authority I believe and respect, said so on TV yesterday. The American people don't want to reward the rich for their misdeeds. Those in Congress like Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, et al are eager to mortgage the American people's future to protect their never ending gravy train from the financial industry. Shame on you and shame on them. What we need to do is vote ALL these bastards out, then sanitize every inch of the halls of Congress, and start with citizen politicians who will put the security and will of the people first. Pelosi and that bunch could care less.

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it'll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for President.
If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.
Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, The plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Newt Gingrich is a hypocrite. He'll destroy whatever good and bad things are in his way so he can see his name in the headlines. While he and his pals were ripping into Clinton over the Lewinsky affair, he was sleeping with his own secretary. He and his Republican pals got their wish for more deregulation and less transparency. Now look what we have. This modern day Republican party is a joke. It's this country's worst enemy. They've succedded in destroying our financial markets, our foreign policy, our prestige around the world. They use fear and religion to push forward their small minded, idiotic policies. It's a joke.

Newt, he can run the presidency from the nursing home with Palin's help. She can go stare into Putin's eyes to see what is next. You know. Foreign policy.
