    Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work


     
    It is funny, but that's exactly how the system was setup in our school back in the USSR.  We had only one janitor and then every week they would appoint a whole class (a group of about 30 kids) to clean the hallways in school after classes.  We were obviously not paid.

    must be some local crap - we never had to do this, except during spring cleanup, but everyone did it at that time....

     A ;little hard work, learning early what is really expected, doesn't seem such a bad idea to me.  See OWS for an example of what spoiled rich white kids do when bored.  I don't know what Gingrich is advocating, and of Course, one can go too far.  I am Not  for that and I'll bet neither is Gingrich.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    Completely normal reaction of left wing cowards to a right-wing candidate rising in popularity.  Its fine and newt can handle it. It happens in reverse too, Obama got plenty of  fair and unfair criticism and exaggerations from conservative bloggers all over the internet as well in 2007.  The only votes affected by this crap are the ones they don't count on in the first place.

     What is not fine, is how I am expecting the professional/establishment media to handle him versus how they handled Obama.  THAT - really does warp minds of otherwise relatively intelligent people, and has been/will continue to be a recurring theme of double standards.

    Part of my reluctance in wanting Gingrich over Romney, while I like Gingrich a lot better, is what the media will do to him in the gen. election.  Romney is a harder target, his weaknesses tend to resonate more internally within the republican party.  Hell, "Romney-care" might be an advantage w the swing vote, who like neither Obama-care, nor what existed before it.

    Personally, speaking as an independent swing voter myself, given 3 options: Obama care, what existed before it, and Romney care, its romney care hands down.  And even those who would disagree, Romney is not promising to implement it nationally anyway.  It was an "experiment" within a laboratory of a state, as was intended by the US constitution.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    I agree completely.   The news media is waiting like a cougar in the forest eyeing a little rabbit, salivating over the prospect of tearing Gingrich apart.  Romney is in fact a more moving target, harder to get at.  I sincerely hope Gingrich is up to the task of constant attack from the media.  Obama will get a pass as usual, or certainly no serious analysis.  My experience has shown that many people will be unfairly swayed by the adverse media converage he is sure to get.  This effect may be the difference in a President Gingrich or a second term for Obama.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    Right...Newt Gingrich who resigned (or was forced to, too lazy to Google)  from his Congressional post over ethical issues, has a collection of wives, and was advising Fannie and Freddie. Of course there is no bigger hippocrite to be found to head the "party of family values and morals"...All this talk reminds me "Палата No 6" craziness. Because God Forbid we stop allowing people to skip on their hospital bills and require that everyone is insured - this is such "socialistic" notion! This "party" and this country are headed straight for the mental hospital.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    Obama will not get quiet the same pass he did before.  I watched on CNN of all places, last night Anderson Cooper mercilessly attacking one of Obama's spokesmen for Obama "closet-campaigning" under the guise of political events funded as such.  I didn't even agree w the criticism (different discussion), but there's some anger showing now towards Obama in the establishment media to varying degrees, and i think it will hopefully even things out somewhat.  It will be interesting (and frustrating) to watch.

    We already said Romney is cleaner and might be a better candidate.  Be careful, Anton - you unleash this stuff too early, you'll have Romney to contend with instead Big Smile

    But seriously - digging deeper into what you are saying here, collecting details about it (i understand you don;t have time to google, but the media will google it for you shortly), and then communicating this in a packaged format with Gingrich responding, then balancing it against Obama's issues and record and Obama responding (i have no idea how he is going to do that and can't wait to find out how), with the audience being (as always) the swing vote, is a different ballgame entirely.  This is a group of people vastly dissaproving of Obama by close to 100% if you parse the polling, not particularly caring how many wives gingrich had (or how many Obama will have by this age Big Smile), see nothing wrong about advising Fannie/Freddie (rather wish Fannie/Freddie listened to what he advised them Big Smile, etc.. 

    These people stood up for clinton after vaginal cigar insertions.  Preferring instead a balanced budget and pragmatic/effective approach to governing.

    I happen to think advising Fannie and Freddie is a valuable experience with subjects on which both Bush and Obama sorely lacked an understanding and comfort level, and had to get on-the-job training about these things from scratch, making them susceptable to the respective bias of their immediate advisors and being isolated from objectivity by definition, once one becomes president.

    I like to have a president who knows, (prior to entering the position, so he can confidently call "BS" on his advisors and manipulators) more than I do on these complicated subjects.  And EVEN more than you Anton, if you think that's possible. And this is just one example of such issue.  He knows more than us on all of them. (that are of consequence to the nation presently).

    And he has solutions for them, which he can communicate eloquently and I think will be well-liked by a super-majority.  This is a different type of eloqunce than Obama's, whose strength comes from vagueness, and i think people are sick of it.  I was sick of it in 2008 already.

    I am all for vaginal insertions. Heck, this could be a new party. "We insert 99% of the time"

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    Here is another great video from the same guys (Young Turks) about Newt Gigrich

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDSNausjpTM&feature=g-all&list=PLA394226FE89B812B

    This time he wants to execute drug offenders.   

    The show is too liberal for my liking, but I like their humor.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    that is why I said earlier there is no way Gingrich has a chance....

     its one thing to insert in some intern vagina vs dumping a dying wife and other s h i t Gingrich pulled....

    he can be a general genius  and will still loose the election against Obama....

    he also doesn't have a face to be president, not in this country.

    Re: Newt Gingrich wants to put kids to work

    he's too "well read" for the tbagger fraction. Also, they are railing against "Washington elite". Newt is the essence of Washington elite, no? He's been feeding at the trough what some 20-30 years?
