Gingrich: It’s Not About The Base

About Einstein, my point is he was not a "white" christain, but non the less was a great man.

He's old school? Your old school!! Wow, you folks have found one thing you can "wine" about because under the cover it???s really about race with you people, pure and simple. You have this mistaken belief that white Europeans are what made this country great, (Einstein was a Jew). Now that I said that, I am going to sit back and watch all the typical right wing comments. The world sees and knows what you are about. Obama will be successful in turning the economy around and during his second election will move to balance the budget. So your next argument will be to split up the nation because Washington has taken your freedom. Whining, whining, that's all you folks are doing. I hope you do get Texas as a separate stand alone nation and take it totally right wing, and then I will sit back and watch it implode as it isolates itself from the global economy because of its racist founding.

The democrat president, the democrat controlled congress, and the republican minority have been playing the political game of taking care of their special interest groups for so long that they have no idea of how to deal with the realities of this economic crises we are currently in. Their bail-out plans, their stimulus plan, and their budget plan, is proof of how out of touch they really are.
So, let me explain how our American economy works. Part A, we (the American people) by products from people who make products. When we (the American people) don't have money we can't buy products. So, it really doesn't matter how much money you give to banks, auto companies, or any other businesses if we (the American people) can't afford their products. Part B, high interest rates (like high taxes) drastically reduces our (we the American people) spending. As hard as it might seem to credit card companies by having a lower interest rate people would be able to pay more towards their debt, likewise, it is hard for some in our government (not we the American people) to understand that by lowering taxes will actually create for the government more money. Part C. Government funded projects (shovel ready and infrastructure projects) will not create permanent jobs. The US government is already the biggest employer in America and it has never been profitable, making it bigger won't make it better or profitable. The money we give the government, in the form of taxes, is completely mismanaged to the continuous detriment of our economy. It won't cost trillions of dollars. Naturally, democrats and republicans won't like it because trillions of your dollars won't be going into the pockets of their special interest groups. In my stimulus plan I would enact what I call the ???Fair Interest Act???. The ???Fair Interest Act??? is the maximum amount of interest that can be charged for the following; on home loans, on credit cards, on mortgage loans, on personal loans???4.0%, student loans ???2.0%, and other type loan rates will be announced. The FIA will exist for the next three years (or longer). As people start making big dents into their debts they will have more disposable income. They will be more inclined to spend that disposable income because of an absence of high interest rate fear. All homeowners can refinance their existing mortgage. The way this refinancing package would work is like this; 35 years at 4% plus the first 5 years goes towards principle. I would place caps on fuel. A $1.00 cap on jet fuel, a $1.00 cap on diesel fuel, and a $1.25 cap on regular unleaded. This is temporary, at least for three years. This will allow businesses to reduce consumer cost and free up more disposable income for consumers to spend. I would also reduce all corporate taxes to 10% for the next three years I would reduce all small businesses taxes to 5% for the next three years. I would suspend any B2USB taxes for the next three years. There are no deductions for any businesses

Clear thinking Newt Gingrich. Thank goodness for his in put. Get with tt American's.

I believe the base *is* the problem. There is no right; no left *left*. The Republicans have spent us into the firepit with the costs of 2 wars. What is the amount? Something like $10 billion being spent in Iraq each month? The Democrats win; then turn on a dime to spend us into oblivion by basically nationalizing banks. I guess the right is the left. The left is the right. All the same. Spend, spend, spend. We get it. As long as *any* politician can continue to have steak or lobster or sushi each and every night of the week, (at the expense of those they allegedly *serve*) they feel as though they are fine. They don't even *care* how they impact the people of America. The election is over and they are still pointing fingers that it's all someone else's fault. Life for them is always served....on a silver platter.

Well the Republican Party certainly needs to be rebuilt, although Gingrich has a problem in the "bottom up" concept.
How would one go about retraining all the ditto heads that everything they have been told is false and now the party has new things they should believe?
Given the spectacular failure of the American Dream at the hands of these people you would think they would have the brains to go behind closed doors while they rebuild the GOP, instead of playing obstructionist to those who are trying to rebuild America.
The reason of course is because they fear any success in the rebuilding, will only show further just how demented and wrong headed their dogma really is. Obstruction is all they have to protect whats left of the party.

When you struggle as the Republicans have just to find new buzz words it???s clear they have no new ideas, other than to try to force the Democrats to fail as well and continue the failure of America.

Gingrich is quite often wrong in his predictions. In 1993 Newt predicted the country would be back in recession and high unemployment within a year because of the Clinton deficit reduction plan which passed without a single GOP vote. The country went on to realize an era of unprecendented prosperity.

Then there is the Gingrich "scorched-earth" tactics of 1994, where he demonized Democrats at every turn, going so far as to blame Democrats for the Susan Smith tragedy, a troubled young woman who drowned her 2 young children. It turns out, Smith's stepfather, a longtime Republican and leader of a local Christian Coalition chapter, had been carrying on a long term sexual affair with his step-daughter. Ginrgich never acknowledged that fact.

Newt is a grand "visionary", but he forever ceded, in my opinion, the high moral ground-- that he always wants to claim for the GOP-- when he served divorce papers on his hospitalized wife, and then attacked Clinton for his sexual pecadillos while carrying on his own sexual liaison. He constantly tries to carry a mantle of honor, while having surrendered it forever years ago.

I do agree with Newt on one thing, the base is the biggest hindrance to the party. One aspect of the Newt's argument about Obama's popularity which does not fly is a president can be popular, but have unpopular ideas which are polarizing. The statistics have shown that Obama is popular (which is like a crab pinching Republicans), but his policies are sometimes not well received. People are excited about recovery, but no one likes the road to recovery.

I agree with windenergy. Newt really isn't very bright. If he is the alternative to Rush for leadership, the GOP is in worse trouble than I thought.

You just keep right on believing in your own intelligence and wisdom, Newt. You'll have the Republicans wandering in the wilderness for the next forty years.

Why the GOP considers you an intellect, or an intellectual, is simply beyond me. For brainpower, you can't touch either one of my high schoolers-and you seem incapable of learning from your mistakes.
