A Few Words For Newt Gingrich

No difference in Obama and Mitt? He is not my first choice, but there is world of difference between the two. One will cut spending, taxes, repeal Obamacare, allow oil production increase, approve the pipeline, honor the Constitution, stop bailouts, work to renew the Bush tax cuts, support Israel, honor and build up the military, and work to save the economy. Obama would do none of these things, but Mitt would, so there is a giant difference. If Obama is re-elected, he will do the same and much more because he will not be facing another election. I don't know how long our economy can survive with Obama, but I have strong doubts that it can make with him another four years. Please stop saying there is no difference- it's a bunch.

Newt Gingrich finally made it formal. He's now ended his presidential race with characteristic bombast. The real news, the big surprise, was that he made it this far. And resisted dropping out for this long. The man has a real talent -- for ignoring reality.

If character really is fate, the Newt should have been done as a presidential candidate as soon as his dubious connections with Freddie Mac became common knowledge....
