Budget busting fiscal plan

12/12/2011 - His budget plan will add $1.3 Trillion to the U.S. budget deficit in 2015 alone.


Gingrich Tax Plan Would Add $1.3 Trillion to Deficit, Study Says

“It blows a huge hole in the deficit,” said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the center, which released the report yesterday in Washington.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the government will collect $3.7 trillion in 2015, meaning that Gingrich’s tax plan would result in a 35 percent cut in federal revenue and a $1.5 trillion deficit, assuming no additional spending cuts or economic growth spurred by the tax cuts.

Newt is a Hamiltonian "Federalist"

The Hamiltonian Newt


"[T]here’s nothing to restrain a President from doing something dumb, but I trust the people in this room to tell me if that is the case." But then he noted more seriously that, "I’m a Federalist. I look to the Federalist Papers and the Constitution to guide me and restrain government."

Gingrich to America: The Supreme Court won't save you from my security measures

Gingrich terrifies me. With all his iron-fisted ideas about "keeping us safe", and his refusal to be slowed down by the courts, he is foaming at the mouth to become a real-life dictator.


EXCLUSIVE: Former Bush Attorneys General Call Gingrich Position On Courts 'Dangerous'

"As president I would say, I would instruct the national security apparatus to ignore the three most Supreme Court decisions on terrorism and I would say those are null and void and have no binding effect on the United States and in fact as commander in chief I would not tolerate a federal judge risking the safety of the United States with some misguided interpretation," Gingrich said.

Gestapo will take care of judges who disagree with Emperor Newt

Seig heil Newt. :n00b:

Gingrich: President could send U.S. Marshals to arrest uncooperative judges, if necessary

SCHIEFFER: Let me just ask you this and we’ll talk about enforcing it, because one of the things you say is that if you don’t like what a court has done, the congress should subpoena the judge and bring him before congress and hold a congressional hearing. Some people say that’s unconstitutional. But I’ll let that go for a minute.

I just want to ask you from a practical standpoint, how would you enforce that? Would you send the capital police down to arrest him?

GINGRICH: If you had to.

SCHIEFFER: You would?

GINGRICH: Or you instruct the Justice Department to send the U.S. Marshal.

Two U.S. Congressmen say that Gingrich lobbied them to vote for expanding gov't

Newt Gingrich went to multiple congressmen and pressed them to pass expansion of Medicare and prescription drug entitlements. This is lobbying, which he vehemently denies. Newt is a liar and a supporter of Big Government.


U.S. Representative Jeff Flake
Former U.S. Representative Butch Otter

Two claim Gingrich lobbied in '03

Flake and Otter, who have endorsed Mitt Romney for president, said about 30 Republican House members were holding out against the bill in the fall of 2003 because they feared the proposal would expand the federal deficit. Proponents brought in Gingrich, who addressed a private meeting of Republican House members, they recalled. “He told us, ‘If you can’t pass this bill, you don’t deserve to govern as Republicans,’ ” said Flake, who represents an Arizona district. “…If that’s not lobbying, I don’t know what is.”

Gingrich the historian doesn't know the founders grew marijuana

Gingrich thinks that George Washington & Thomas Jefferson would be "more violent than the current government" in stopping so-called sovereign individuals from growing plants in their yard.


"I think Jefferson or George Washington would have rather strongly discouraged you from growing marijuana, and their techniques of dealing with it would have been rather more violent than the current government." -- Newt Gingrich, 1/4/2012

Newt Gingrich was mentored by Henry Kissinger

Mentioned in two New York Times articles from 1995.


The Schooling of Gingrich, The Foreign Policy Novice - 7/18/1995

Newt Gingrich created a storm the other day by saying the United States should recognize Taiwan as a free and independent country.

The Chinese ominously declared that they would not sit idly by in the face of such threats to world peace.

He also heard from Henry A. Kissinger, who has become Mr. Gingrich's favorite foreign policy mentor and happened to be in Beijing at the time. Mr. Kissinger called to lecture the Speaker of the House sternly on the need to uphold the delicate one-China policy -- which the former Secretary of State himself had invented long ago -- and to keep quiet.

Not to worry. The Speaker didn't really mean it.

Liberties; The Loss of the Dodo - 7/20/1995

The precocious darling keeps tugging at our sleeve, asking us to watch him learn about foreign policy. After causing a furor by blurting that the U.S. should recognize Taiwan's independence, he made it clear in an interview with The Times's Elaine Sciolino that he didn't know what he was talking about. He just wanted attention. With dog-ate-my-homework panache, he explained that he had been imitating a scene in the Allen Drury novel "Advise and Consent" when the American President bluffs the Russians by telling them he's going to recognize Red China. (Actually, it was the Vice President.) He said he was "still learning" about complicated foreign stuff and that nice Dr. Kissinger -- who gave him a stern lecture about the Taiwan slip -- was going to teach him.

Mr. Gingrich got to the top through sophisticated and ruthless infighting. But the revolutionary is suddenly the acolyte of the establishment, agog at being coached by intellectual party animal Henry Kissinger.

This weekend he will join the happy campers at Bohemian Grove, the exclusive men's club in northern California that has, over the years, offered power tents and "camp valets" to such Republicans as Mr. Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, David Rockefeller and George Shultz. The camp is a saturnalia of juvenilia, with a lot of old white rich guys running around naked and in sheets, costumed as Druids. They drink dawn-to-dusk gin fizzes, relieve themselves on redwoods and put on theatricals where they dress up like women.
