NEWT: Too bad he's too good

Here we go again! Newt Gingrich is on top and heading for the primaries. Many years ago when he was speaker of the house and brought forth his "Contract with America" I told my wife, "He's messing with the SPENDERS in Washington, D.C., and they will get rid of him." She thought I was crazy. His ideas were what the country needed. He was working to save our way of life! Well the spenders had control of the media and they crucified the speaker.

Stand by, America. Once again they see the possibility of Mr. Gingrich pushing a balanced budget amendment and they will get rid of him. Ten years from now you won't remember why, only that they found a mark and pushed until you caved in. It's too bad because Newt is your only hope of stopping the SPENDERS. Will you allow history to repeat itself? I think so!
