If you listen to these guys on stage you'd swear there was a pack of Al Queda walking up to your house right now.
Why are they still pushing the same fear as they did in 2007...? Drunk driving kills 10 times as many people a year than the attacks of 9/11 did, and yet we'd never discuss what to do about drunk driving laws. And yet these neocons act as if their #1 interest is saving American lives...? I hope voters can see this bullshiite for what it is.
I get the feeling that tying everything to Obama isn't working very well anymore for these candidates. People have to notice that Obama's foreign policy really isn't any different than what Mitt or Rick, et al, are proposing.
A History of Newt: Land Grabs, Drilling, and Cognitive Dissonance
A History of Newt:
Land Grabs, Drilling, and Cognitive Dissonance
FACT: Recently Newt Gingrich supported job-killing, big government climate schemes alongside Nancy Pelosi.
But his environmental left streak isn’t new.
FACT: In 1979, Newt voted to take land away from states and individuals.
The “Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act,” which then Congressman Gingrich voted for in support of President Jimmy Carter, was a federal government power grab that put tens of millions of acres of land in the hands of the corrupt cronyism and bureaucracy in Washington.
FACT: Newt even wrote a book pushing conservatives to change their policy to fit the liberal Washington agenda.
But when the political winds change, so of course does his rhetoric.
“Newt Gingrich, once casting himself as a conservative conservationist, lately has been proclaiming “Drill here, Drill now, Pay less” through one of his online organizations, American Solutions for Winning the Future. Is anyone experiencing cognitive dissonance?” (New York Times)
FACT: Newt ferociously advocated increased drilling for domestic oil once it became popular (and lucrative) to do so.
“Ronald Reagan's first official act as President was to deregulate the oil industry. Oil prices dropped soon after.”
“I guess ‘Yes We Can’ only applies to reenacting the Jimmy Carter presidency.” – Newt Gingrich (Human Events)
