Newt got it handed to him last night with the audience cheering on Romney and booing him. Yahoo. Both Santorum and Romney really showed what Newt is last night. I loved it when they pointed out how Newt goes from state to state promising the people of each state billions of dollars in new spending when we have 16 trillion dollars of debt. Even Ron Paul pointed out how in reality Newt and Reagan ran up over a trillion dollars of new debt while old Newt claims a million times to have balanced the budget.

What Newt would have done is make big promises to every group of voters and then once he got power, he would do whatever the hell he felt like at any given moment, which is not ever the same things. He could get up one day and decide he is going to bomb Cuba, next day he wants to bomb Iran, next day he would deport all the illegals, next day he would completely change his mind. Newt is a nut, and finally I think Romney and Santorum got rid of him.

At least the other three are decent enough guys. If they get rid of Newt then it becomes three honest men with different ideas. At least they got rid of all of the bad ones, Perry, Cain, Hunstman, now if they can get rid of old Newt, that stops Fox from running our elections, stops the media from controlling the vote, and it leaves a religious but honest man, an honest businessman and an honest Libertarian in the running. I hope Newt tanks in FL and gets out. He's the last bad guy in there, IMO.

YOu're validating what I just said. INdependents think they're taking the high road by positioning themselves between the parties, when they in reality are devoid of principles or convictions. The republican party has degenerated, I admit. The problems with independents is that they don't stand for anything.

I thought that Romney's comeback that you are referring to was the highlight of the night. Newt just told the world that he's a big spending liberal who panders to special interests. He had no rebuttal, and it was embarrassing. Newt is FINISHED. He'll loose in Florida by double digits. The main reason people were behind him was his debating sklls. His last two debates were very disappointing. I predict that Santorum will pass him up in future primaries... Ron Paul will probably beat Newt in Nevada.

I agree. If Newt loses to Romney in FL, they go on to states where Romney has a big advantage. So if Romney wins FL and then wins the next five states, hopefully Newt will drop out. Yes, I agree too that Paul will come in number two in many of the caucus states. I think Paul stays in until the end, and it is a good thing. It will be nice to see debates between a Libertarian and an nice businessman, minus Newt and all of his theatrics. Newt is really not a good debator. He's a big phony and if you look at what he says with a critical mind, you catch him lying and flipping all around all of the time. Anne Coulter said same thing I think, that he is not a good debator. He sounds good for a minute because he is mean and talks with a big authoritarian voice, but the things he says go against other things he said a few minutes earlier. He's kind of a con artist. What he's good at is promising everyone everything, playing to the crowd, kind of like Herman Cain.

I loved the part where Wolf Blitzer pointed out that Newt's tax plan makes the capital gains tax zero. Newt's tax plan is only big tax cuts for the rich, whereas Romney's tax plan is the only Republican tax plan that cuts taxes for the middle class. Although Santorum was far enough with regards to taxes last night, he stays with a progressive tax. And, as always, Ron Paul would abolish income taxes. Gotta love Dr. Paul. He would send Newt to the moon. LOL. I agree that Newt is finished. And that takes Fox out of controlling the elections which is a very good thing too. Fox still pretends Ron Paul is not running. They won't be able to do that much longer.

Now you people know it isn't who knows what. Which one is the best orator with the best looks, carries themself well, and is media/people likeable. You know the majority of American voters go by LOOKS, LOOKS AND LOOKS. Do you honestly think a Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher, Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy looking person could be a sauve, debonaire, foxy looking American president. NO, NO, a thousand times NO. Photogenic. looking good strolling from the helicopter, talks good in front of crowds. for the life of me I can't unerstand how the terrible orator George Bush won. What was the american electorate thinking? Saying all this, who's the best looker/talker on the Re side? That's your winner of the nomination to get beat by ol' smoothie!!!

BANKERS MANIFESTO

We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance.

Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.

At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may require force to overcome.

This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination (conspiracy) and legislation.

The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.

When, through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes,
they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm
of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.

People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.

The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.

By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.



Circle of 13: The Bankers' Manifesto of 1892
Nov 24, 2008 ... Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. revealed the Bankers Manifesto of 1892 to the U.S. Congress somewhere between 1907 and 1917.

You might not be a "angry conservative",but you sure are a Obama loving liberal loon.
Please don't be dishonest about what you've posted - at least have the decency to stand behind it. You said this:

"Not only are you an Independent(not)but you are a very shollow person to attack someone on their looks.Ever take a good look at Obama or his wife? Just asking."

The implication there was obvious.

I have yet to see any evidence that Mr. Obama has sealed any of his own records after taking office. This appears to be more Birther nonsense intended since day 1 to smear the President and cast false doubts on his right or ability to govern.

I urge you to give up this line of nonsense and post intelligent objections to his policies instead of talking points and propaganda.

There is nothing like a Obama loving loon that spins every second they can because they can't defend his poilcies or his record of failure.How can even a liberal loon like you say that he didn't seal all of his records? Tell us all about his many SS numbers,his grades,who paid his tution and his travels overseas to countries that were banned for U.S.citizens to vist.You know you can't because he had them sealed,the only president in history to do so,again,why? As far as me being a "birther",nope,I believe he was born in the U.S.,been saying that for 3 years,so once again you are wrong. Get use to the fact that the man is a loser and will be one and done.

Typically of right wing types, you have no evidence and simply indulge in a hailstorm of name-calling and opinions.

Get back to me when you've got something', kay? OK.

It wasn't Newt's best night. He seemed rattled. I don't know that it's over for him, though.

I thought Wolf Blitzer was a terrible moderator. He wasted valuable time asking questions that didn't matter, such as "Why do you think your wife would be the best first lady?" That's ridiculous. Americans have real issues they're dealing with, and I found it offensive that he used some of that time asking senseless questions. Blitzer also seemed to target Gingrich. He should have targeted them all equally.

I heard Dick Morris say last night that the second 5 million dollars that the Jewish guy in Las Vegas promised Newt never showed up and that Newt had dropped 13 points in the polls coming into that debate. That would account for why he was down and tired and why he kind of threw his support to Ron Paul. I was wondering what was going on.

Well, the moderators always ask the front runners more questions than the guys on the ends. They did that with Perry when he was running high, they did same thing with Cain. The stories were all about Newt attacking Romney, so of course the media is going to ask Newt about his accusations.

We know all of their policies. Each one of them has told us 30 times now they want a war in Iran, except for Ron Paul, they want lower taxes for the rich, no regulations and tons more wars for profits for the rich, except for Ron Paul. It was nice to hear about their wives for a change. We have had like over 20 debates now, and they answer the same questions every single time. We all know their policies by now. What I liked was seeing something new. Like how filthy rich Romney is and how he was raised not to flaunt his wealth, how he paid 7 million dollars in taxes and gave his church 7 million dollars. That says alot about him, IMO. I'm sick of them saying same things about a sucko flat tax and lower taxes even more on the rich and they want more wars in countries that have most of the world's oil. Same old war corporation and oil company stuff, exept for Ron Paul. At least he has the real solutions, tells the truth and he could actually solve the systemic problems the country has. Paul is the one who is telling the truth. I thought for a long time that Newt needs to learn from Dr. Paul. Newt is an old time washed up politician, with old washed up ideas from the 1970s. He's finally admitting Dr. Paul is right. Newt needs to reinvent himself as a strong Libertarian, find a new cause and a new way of being a politician, IMO. He is just using Fox News as his way of trying to win the presidential election. It's really sick. He is learning from Dr. Paul, so at least that is a good thing.

Please Please Please Florida, Do not vote for Romney. He is a Wolf in Sheeps clothing. He has and never will be conservative in his views. He has a coach who is teaching him to debate the issues on conservative principles. If he was a conservative he wouldn't need one! Vote Paul, Gingrich or Santorum but please don't give us Romney. He is a gun grabber.

This was a debate not an interview. Questions about why your wife would be the "best" first lady has no place in a presidential debate. In addition, yes there were many other debates. However, this debate came just before the primaries, and Florida is a swing state with a large number of electoral votes (29).

I heard he had a new debate coach too. It showed in Florida. Romney seemed more effective than in recent debates.
