Comments on: Gingrich calls White House race 'insane' http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/08/08/gingrich-calls-white-house-race-insane/ All politics, all the time Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:13:05 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Carl, Dallas, Texas http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/08/08/gingrich-calls-white-house-race-insane/#comment-35174 Carl, Dallas, Texas Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:16:09 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2007/08/08/gingrich-calls-white-house-race-insane/#comment-35174 I agree 100%... I've always believed that they can still do fund raisers, but each person running should get an equal share of funs to level the playing field. I would actually like to hear what EVERYONE has to say, instead of clinton and obama getting 92.5% of the coverage... But something else needs to be done about this... the primary's... everything... Because these senators and governors running are simply not doing their jobs in office so they can go for glory... I honestly do not believe that any of these candidates are about the American people. They only care about the lobbyists and campaign contributions and helping them out. I agree 100%...

I think he's on the money. The quest for power in this country is out of control. Mouthpieces constantly wanting you to vote for them so they can "change" things for the better. Yeah, their betterment. It's a circus. I figured out how to solve the health care "crisis". On a separate story about AFL-CIO, it reported "In the 2004 elections, organized labor also gave $53.6 million to Democratic candidates and party committees, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That number increased to $66 million for the 2006 elections and is expected to increase again for 2008." To this point, 293 million dollars have been raised by the folks running for president. Start adding that up. What if this were put toward solving problems that face the nation instead of greedy power grabs to try and control other people? What a waste.

I'll still never vote for this guy as he scares the privacy and freedom right out of me, but I might just listen to what he has to say this time around.

I won't be voting Republican anyway...but I think it is absurb for him to call his own party's candidates "pygmies" and to have such a negative attitude. Let's see Newt get up there on the stage and determine whether or not he is any more enlightened than ANY of the other candidates from either party. The answer is NO. Newt is just slamming the other candidates while he sits on his behind watching on TV like the rest of us. Newt's a hypocritical baffooon.
