For those of us in the unwashed masses, maybe you could elaborate on the above assertion
Elaborate on the obvious?
Seriously?
This guy was in charge of the house when Clinton was in office and compromised on a lot of things that helped not only the liberals in congress out but set us up for the problems we have today. It was Newt's policies in the house that were changed that allowed the oversight of things like banks and freddie/fannie to be shifted to the twilight zone and he, like many other republicans increased spending along the same lines as the democrats. TO even speak about cutting taxes and spending is as hypocritical as one can get.
Now that's a bit rash, don't you think?
Nope, he is an idiot.
An idiot with a PhD from Tulane, author of 23 books, has served on countless commissions and successfully undertaken several business ventures among other things - his resume is really more impressive than people realize.
Being educated has nothing to do with being an idiot, you can be highly educated and still be an idiot - if you want proof, look at any campus and either graduate students or tenured professors.
Having "authored" books means little, I don't recall one of them and I don't have one in my collection anywhere.
What business ventures? I mean I have not read about anything but think tanks and consulting firms, where's the manufacturing plant or the fast food places he owns?
Impressive resumes mean little to those who are unemployed or to a country that is looking for leadership qualities in a person to actually restore confidence in the country and the economy. He is not a leader, he doesn't inspire anyone to do much of anything and to think that this is the best that can be had among those who call themselves conservative, you would think that "conservatives" would get a clue.
<<sigh>> but alas most conservatives don't get that they act like liberals anyway.
Granted, he's had some ups and downs during his career but his accomplishments far outweigh his failures.
Newt Gingrich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Granted that his accomplishments are not as well known as his failures but we must ask ourselves an important question - doesn't his failures reflect a lack of intelligence on the practical end of life?
For the purposes of the GOP nomination, he's vastly superior in accomplishments, experience and intellect to the current occupent of the Oval Office.
I don't know about that, I see it this way, Gingrich is a hasbeen who has lost confidence of his own party while he was running the house which is not anywhere near superior because Obama is in the WH and not Gingrich.
As the primary process moves forward we'll probably see the Cain supporters move to Newt and he'll go on to duke it out with Romney as the also-rans in single digits gradually fall off the screen. At least that's what my crystal ball is telling me at 12:45AM - I'm outta here.
Well that's pretty pathetic when you examine it without the conservative glasses on. I mean IF cain steps out of the race, which he should stick to it, then Cain's supporters are just fishing for somewhere to vote - Cain is nothing like either of those two and to think that his supporters are going to run to Gingrich because there is nothing left, means that they can't think.
