    No one was more disappointed than I, upon seeing Newt Gingrich sitting on the sofa professing some reality to the global warming scam in the "WE" ads.  From that point I have had lukewarm feelings about his ability to produce common sense solutions, and have been very doubtful about his conservative cred.

    However, in his Mackinac Island speech, he has a message worth listening to.

    I'll be touching on the following approximate times if I get a few minutes later:

    • 18:00
    • 29:45
    • 34:00
    • 42:30
    • 43:00

    What I found interesting about the coverage... (none / 0) (#1)

    ...of his speech was how the MSM twisted the creation of "Enterprize Zones" (something that Eleanor Norton Holmes doesn't really care for from my reading on the subject), to a totally tax-free city.

    Not that I expected them to NOT totally screw this up, mind you.

    BTW, does anyone know if there was video of John Rakolta and Mark Gaffney going at it regarding RTW?

    I would love to see it.

    just who was in the audience (certainly not the Mole).  While Newt is a very smart man and brilliant historian, he has lost some cedibility with his acceptance of the global warming issue.  That said, I do like his assertion of the 2+2=4 theory, especially as it pertains to unions and the size of government.  The truth hurts and we must hold our government leaders accountable for letting this freight train get so far off the tracks.  These govt. leaders are the ones who knowingly negotiated with unions and made promises they knew would eventually bite them in the a$$.  We are broke and cannot afford to buy a house.  In fact we bought too many houses and cannot afford to make payments let alone the upkeep.  I liked his points but I fear he was speaking to a choir who are going to sing their own tune.  Too many democrats and RINOs in Michigan to change the way it is.  They want "The Way We Were" sung by none other than Babs Streisand herself.
