Newt Gingrich Comprehensive list of Newt Gingrich positions

Wow, I can not verbally state how scary this guy would be as president. He would probably have all of us liberty lovers covertly killed while he denied it all.
 
People need to post this everywhere especially on youtube videos and let it be known what a scumbag he is. Especially the part about him cheating on one of his wives while she was suffering from cancer, delivered divorce papers to her in the hospital.
 
This is really good stuff. Newt is everything that's wrong with this government now.
 
“I think we’re seeing around the world an emerging Third World War from North Korea to Pakistan to India to Afghanistan to Iraq and Iran to the increasing alliance between Venezuela and Iran to the British terrorists who are getting trained in Pakistan.”

-- Newt Gingrich, 2006, interview with Greta Van Sustren

I'm unimpressed with Gingrich's fidelity record in both senses of the word.

He commits adultry with both his former wives. Marries his current wife, and than changes over to her religion, which is quite a bit different than his previous one.

No faithfulness at all. If you look into either case, it gets worse. Like I was cheating with my teacher from high school while underage, cheating on my wife in the hospital, cheating on my wife while leading the charge against Clinton for the same thing with one of my own staffers, etc.

Considering his record, Gingrich could be having an affair with his present wife.

Good grief..I knew of some of the things that he was involved in and supported, like NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and being a CFR member which was plenty for me to know that he was not my type of candidate. But wow, that list you have there Rambone...this should definitely be a sticky. And since all the media and Newt's supporters want to prattle on about how smart he is, I think I will copy that list of yours and save it and have ready to present to the next person I come across who has not looked into Newt's record/past. Thank you sir :)
 
Glad you like it guys. Keep spreading the info!!

Look for a similar list about Herman Cain (see my signature).
 
National ID Card & Round up Dissenters

Wow. How did I not include this????

Newt said in 2007 that we should be rounding up people like Lincoln did. And force everyone to carry a Federalized ID card.

SEIG HEIL NEWT!!


Meet the Press: Meet the Candidates 2008 series, with Tim Russert
Q: Specifically, how would you win the war in Iraq militarily?

A:
1) You would empower General Petraeus. You’d pass the supplemental immediately. You’d give him the money.

2) You would encourage the Iraqis to triple the size of their regular army.

3) You would encourage the development of a military tribunal system to lock people up the way Abraham Lincoln would’ve done it.

4) You would establish a nationwide ID card with biometrics so you can actually track everybody in the country.


5) You would make sure that the State Department actually staffed the embassy with people in favor of winning the war and you actually had your fully equipped intelligence and economic development teams.

6) Bring enormous pressure to bear on Iran to cut off everything [assisting with the Iraqi insurgency]. So, we ought to do what it takes to win, not tolerate legislating defeat.
 
Don't see any reason why the citizens of the United States would vote for a man who would divorce and cheat on his wife... Even if he wins the primary highly doubt he would ever win the election.
 
Newt Gingrich: Earned a "D" rating on gun rights

Newt Gingrich has been called out by both the National Association for Gun Rights, as well as the Gun Owners Of America for his history of supporting Gun Control. Newt obviously doesn't understand, despite his obsession with rigid crime and punishment, that the Federal Government has no authority to create these kind of laws.

He was given a "D" rating by the GOA for his willingness to infringe on that which shall not be infringed.


The Inconvenient Truth About Newt | National Association for Gun Rights
In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders –- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse’s wrist.(1)

Gingrich even called the anti-gun measure “reasonable,” and predicted that it would sail through his Republican-controlled House of Representatives with little trouble.(2)

Gingrich also stood shoulder to shoulder with Nancy Pelosi to pass the “Criminal Safezones Act” which prevents armed citizens from defending themselves in certain arbitrary locations. You and I both know that Criminal Safezones don’t protect law-abiding citizens, but actually protect the criminals who ignore them.(3)
Additionally, he's voted for Laser Control too.
Newt Gingrich on Guns: A Mixed Record - Gun Owners Of America
Also in 1996, Speaker Gingrich cast his vote for an anti-gun terror bill which contained several harmful provisions. For example, one of the versions he supported (in March of that year) contained a DeLauro amendment that would have severely punished gun owners for possessing a laser sighting device while committing an infraction as minor as speeding on a federal reservation.5 (Not only would this provision have stigmatized laser sights, it would have served as a first step to banning these items.) Another extremely harmful provision was the Schumer amendment to “centralize Federal, State and Local police.”6
 
Newt voted to raise the debt ceiling at least 4 times

Newt has been kicking the can down the road since the days when the debt was manageable. He should have taken a principled stand back then. Of course, he'd have to have principles first.

He voted to raise the debt ceiling four times (one, two, three, and four) that I know of.
 
Newt is just another 'business as usual' Washington politician. I cannot see a reason to support him now, other than he is "not Obama". That's not good enough for me anymore.
 
Newt wants stronger Patriot Act; skip Due Process for terror suspects

When asked if he would change or repeal the Patriot Act:

"No, I would not change it. I'm not aware of any specific change it needs. And I'd look at strengthening it, because I think the dangers are literally that great." -- Newt Gingrich, 11/22/2011, CNN Debate (source)
 
Gingrich wants a new 'very aggressive' anti-terror agency with extraordinary abilities

Newt Gingrich wants to create another new Federal terror agency that is "very aggressive" in stomping out our rights and has "extraordinary powers" to evade the constitution. Wow. Just wow.

How does anyone in their right mind believe that this guy remotely respects the constitution? Is this the rhetoric it takes to please modern day conservatives in 2012? He makes no bones about wanting more Federal government, and allowing his minions the legal ability to ignore the constitution. Newt, the neo-conservative hero.

Everytime I think that Newt couldn't get any worse, he does. He is much worse than we can imagine. He makes Obama look appealing.

Unbelievable.

Gingrich is FASCISM wrapped in an American flag, carrying a cross.


April 29, 2008:
Why have we not been hit since 9/11, which is a good question. My first answer is that I honestly don't know. I would have expected another attack. And I particularly thought -- I was very, very worried, and talked to the Administration, when we had the sniper attacks. The sniper attacks were psychologically so frightening to the average person, because of their randomness. I was amazed that the bad guys didn't figure out how to send 10 or 12 sniper teams.

This is, by the way, one of the great tragedies of the Bush Administration. The more successful they've been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we're in danger. And therefore the better they've done at making sure there isn't an attack, the easier it is to say that there was never going to be an attack anyways.

And its almost like they should, every once in a while, have allowed an attack to get through, just to remind us. Think about the psychology. Why do we wrap up so many people? Well, because we wiretapped.

And again, I'm going to be a little controversial. I would divide the FBI into two agencies. I would have an anti-domestic-crime FBI which was very cautious, very respectful of civil liberties. You are innocent until proven guilty.

And I would have a small but VERY aggressive anti-terrorism agency. And I would frankly give them EXTRAORDINARY ability to eavesdrop.

And my first advice to civil libertarians is simple. Don't plot with terrorists.
