#2 Publish it on 2 facing full pages of every newspaper in the country.

Publish key quotes on billboards around the country.

For months. Until some get a clue.

#3 Yeah, he really beats the pants off of the other candidates.

#4 This point of view should be the starting point for the formulation of a grand strategy in the WOT.

#5 Newt is a great thinker, but was piss-poor leader as Speaker of the House. Implementation is not his strong suit and that's the main job of the President.

#7 Newt gets it. Unfortunately, he's one of only a few who do.

#8 This is the best summary of the problem I have read in six years.

#9 Ditto, the guy's sharp as a k-bar. Have always loved listening to Newt on H/C, Fox or whatever. He can dissect the problem down to the gnat's ass and articulate it so that even the dumbest drooler can understand.

#11 One 'rod from God' would do the trick and they couldn't prove a thing.

#12 Oh please. And Patton was an idiot.

#13 Mr. Gingrich is not presidential material, as proved by the fact he isn't trying to run. But he certainly thinks well out loud. General Patton never became president, either, Enver Javirt840. Being very, very good in one area most certainly does not guarantee competence in another.

#14 Newt has some dirty laundry, but he is a patriot and a conservative, and he is not drinking the koolaid. I think we could get behind him and put the finger on Islam.

#15 We have an administration whose policy is inadequate being opposed by a political left whose policy is worse

Summed up nicely.

#16 Part of the war we waged on the Soviet Union involved their natural gas supply because we wanted to cut off their hard currency. The Soviets were desperate to get better equipment for their pipeline. We managed to sell them through third parties very, very sophisticated American pipeline equipment, which they were thrilled to buy and thought they had pulled off a huge coup. Now we weren't playing fair. We did not tell them that the equipment was designed to blow up. One day in 1982, there was an explosion in Siberia so large that the initial reflection on the satellites looked like there was a tactical nuclear weapon.

Wow!
