He is too ignorant to understand that all the 'additional tax revenue' from the Laffer Curve comes from the middle class?

My best guess would be that this "16 year student" finally graduated High School at 32 years old.

She becomes the attorney for the assistant coach?

jehovahs witness protection: At least he has a past that can be published. Unlike somebody else...

Hitler?

Uterine cancer?

5. He is not considered a conservative - by all conservatives. "Gingrich has never been a conservative," according to an appraisal in May 2011 by The American Conservative magazine. "Gingrich has rarely, if ever, been for smaller government. He simply believes Republicans can preside over big government more effectively." Earlier this year he called for dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency and replacing it with another governmental bureau, the Environmental Solutions Agency. However, Craig Shirley, a conservative consultant and author of the forthcoming biography, Citizen Newt: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Speaker Gingrich, points out that Gingrich's lifetime rating by the American Conservative Union is 90 out of a possible 100. "On all the gut check issues of the last 30 years from abortion to championing the individual over the state," Shirley says, Gingrich "has almost always been on the side of conservatism." In the annals of American conservatism, Shirley predicts, "Gingrich will rank high."

I'd hit her.

"he called for dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency and replacing it with another governmental bureau, the Environmental Solutions Agency."

Newt Speak.

Holy crap that's frightening. That's the kind of history you'd expect for a serial killer.

Uh, I grew up with pet snakes so I'm not following.

/ohhhh

She turned him into a newt.

Farker Soze: She turned him into a newt.

..he never got better

Technically, serial killers tend to get their start harming animals, not husbanding them. Sharing a bedroom with granny is kind of weird, but only by modern ultra-minimalist nuclear-family standards.

Newt is a furry?

"IT'S THE LAFFER CURVE. DO YOU SEE!? DO YOU SEE NOW?"

FTFA: 2. He is an animal lover.

Isn't that illegal in most states?

Earlier this year he called for dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency and replacing it with another governmental bureau, the Environmental Solutions Agency.

I can see it now. Invariably, the solution will be to strip mine the yokels' land in the Appalachians, frack the fark out of the dirt-farmers' land, and leave the gated estates of people like Newt pristine.

No if he was skinning the snakes alive, or chopping their heads off and watching them wiggle around, thats frightening serial killer stuff. As a kid in Georgia, thats was every day activities. I grew up in Florida and cant tell you how many times i had snakes, lizards, frogs in jars in my room.

I get he's a politically opposed figure to you, but srsly lets not act like everything is political and needs to have hay made out of it.

LouDobbsAwaaaay: I'm just saying spending your childhood in a room with your screaming, frightened grandma and a bunch of jars full of snakes is sufficiently bizarre to scar you for life. It's the kind of thing that if you heard it with respect to a notorious serial killer you'd say, "well, that makes sense."

I guess what I'm saying is "well, that makes sense."

I scared (and angered) my poor mother by keeping a boy scout inspired terrarium full of salamanders that occasionally escaped. I'm not a serial killer, I just snuggle old ladies in nursing homes who can't move.

Newt "really believed when he was a junior in high school that he was destined to save western civilization," a friend told Romano.

So, even as a junior in HS, he knew better than everyone else. So did I, but eventually I outgrew that stage. Seriously, "save western civilization?"

Oh...wow.jpg

the people I've known who own snakes (and yes, I fully realize I'm making a generalization based on my admittedly limited anecdotal experience), are generally cold unfeeling sociopaths, the types who like to stab a man just to watch him bleed.

well, them and drunk frat guys who like to get high and feed mice to ball pythons.

He met her when he was 16 and she was 23. He didn't necessarily shag her when he was 16. There's lots of women I've met and then didn't actually sleep with for at least a couple of years. Unbelievable, I know, but it happens.

So this 23-year old math teacher hooks up with one of her 16-year students. Guess what happens a few years later. Go on, guess

Tax cuts?

6. He really doesn't like gay people

Newt Gingrich, despite marrying three times himself, is opposed to gay marriage and gay couples adopting children. One of his more recent quotes, linking gay marriage with economic problems that come from not having enough freedom of religion (yes, really): "The concept of family being between man and woman and the concept of all these core values that grow out of 3,000 years of Judeo-Christian tradition. This is a direct threat to the entire secular world." [1]

Newt's stance on DOMA: "I think the president should be, frankly, enforcing that act, and I think we are drifting toward a terrible muddle which I think is going to be very, very difficult and painful to work our way out of," [2] DOMA, is, of course, his baby. He pushed for it when he was Speaker. Gingrich also wants a constitutional amendment that would prevent state-level gay marriages and in the past year, has made significant donations to oust gay-friendly judges at the state level - $150k to push out three Iowa justices who were pro-same-sex marriage. [3]

He's also, along with Rick Santorum, one of the last holdouts in American politics who want a return to Don't Ask, Don't Tell [4]

I almost got married once or twice myself.

You know, I'm down with some DIY fashion stuff. I would totally wear a zebra jacket.

Or somebody interested in nature... But don't let that stand in the way of some good hyperbole.

And this, boys and girls, is why he had such a hard-on for Clinton.

I think it was the combo of "liked snakes" and "shared a bedroom with granny." Wasn't that Ed Gein's backstory?

He is not considered a conservative - by all conservatives.

He's also not considered a True Scotsman by all Scotsmen.

TheOther: He is too ignorant to understand that all the 'additional tax revenue' from the Laffer Curve comes from the middle class?

No he's not. There are two types of conservative politicians: Ones who genuinely have no clue whatsoever how things work--who honestly have never heard of economic externalities, who think that the Austrian economists were genuinely trying to describe how things work, etc. Then there are those who know how things work, but who also know that most Americans are profoundly ignorant, and that they can use that ignorance to their own advantage by deceiving them. Until the 2010 elections, the first type were really quite rare. Newt Gingrich is the archetype of the second category. By all accounts he is very intelligent and knows huge amounts of information about a wide range of topics. But he is a severe sociopath, and appears to suffer from some kind megalomania disorder. He is an evil, evil man. Smart (but not wise, and unable to control his impulsiveness), but evil.

Regarding number five, are there any conservative candidates who are actually conservative? Pretty much everyone out there right now is for massive government and intrusions into personal lives, with the only difference being what should be funded/intruded upon.

I just meant he was too busy boning his math teacher to be learning math.

The only way a government should invest current revenues in future 'job creators' is as a loan with a date certain for repayment, 100% collateral and their children as hostages.
...and just so they don't get their lackeys in Congress to vote for extensions or forgiveness, the hostages get held by a viciously murderous Red Guard faction on an island with a nuclear weapon on a deadman switch.

But, listen to me just rambling on! On the whole, it's just simplier, more civilized and better for everyone to just not pursue Wimpy-burger economics anymore.

Empires need big bucks. A couple fake factions working to the same end helps too.

/but the democrats care so very much!
