    thanks Jack – this was very interesting.

    The big difference between Caen and Gingrich is substance.

    I’m not saying I’d vote for Gingrich, but he comes off a lot more serious and businesslike than any of the other candidates. He knows the issues better, he’s telling us what’s important – the other candidates are saying whatever they think the people want to hear.

    Powerfull! Slices through the political noise and spin with the precision of a surgeons scalpel. Exactly what we need right now…honesty about what we face as a nation.

    Thanks Jack!

    This is exactly why I love and respect Newt Gingrich. I would be happy to vote for him if he can overcome his negatives and make a good showing. He is by far the best debater. Gingrich would wipe the floor with Obama if there were a debate match up.

    Wouldn’t it be so cool if the race came down to a Mormon who eschews multiple wives, and a “Christian” who doesn’t?

    Gleeful. Oh, yes, … quite gleeful.

    Better than a crook who delivers guns to drug lords and eschews the very things that make this country work while picking winners and losers among his elite corporate and union buddies.

    It’s been anything but gleeful for one heck of a lot of Americans that didn’t make his “list”.

    “Better than a crook who delivers guns to drug lords ….”

    Uh-huh. Obama personally did this? I hear that ol’ “Fast and Furious” originated under somebody else’s administration and was carried on by some real testosterone cases in federal law enforcement (which is where you tend to find such people).

    The enterprise is halted. Some guys have lost their positions, and Holder’s been properly roasted for not paying attention. What more do you want?

    “… while picking winners and losers among his elite corporate and union buddies.”

    And this does not go on under Republican administrations? You want the power back for its own sake? How evolved of you.

    Right on Tina!!

    Add to the list today another 20,000 shovel ready jobs down the toilet because he’s put a stop to the pipe that would bring oil to us from Canada. First we lost 20,000 jobs in the gulf, but gave Brazil $2 billion to drill in the very same gulf just thousands of feet deeper.

    People have got to be brain dead to not see he is trying to distroy this country, and if he’s not stopped he’ll succeed.

    Libby: “I hear that ol’ “Fast and Furious” originated under somebody else’s administration…”

    Nope…not so fast!

    Project Gunrunner was started under the previous administration (2006) as a sting operation to stop the flow of guns moving into Mexico on our SW boarder.

    Fast and Furious (2009-2010) was initiated under the Obama administration and apparently didn’t include the sting; instead guns were allowed to flow into the hands of drug cartels willy nilly. Given what has gone on down there in the past three years one could say this administration stupidly aided and abetted in hundreds of murders, many of them quite grizzly. It’s both a legal mess and a diplomatic disaster.

    Eric Holder spoke about stepping up efforts at the border with Mexico in a speech he delivered in Mexico April 2, 2009:

    http://www.justice.gov/ag/speeches/2009/ag-speech-090402.html

    The topic that has been addressed over the past two days could not be more important the development of an arms trafficking prosecution and enforcement strategy on both sides of the border.

    I would like to thank the Mexican and U.S. experts who have worked so hard on this issue. On our side, Secretary Napolitano and I are committed to putting the resources in place to increase our attack on arms trafficking into Mexico.

    Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.

    But as todays conference has emphasized, the problem of arms trafficking will not be stopped at the border alone. Rather, as our experts emphasized, this is a problem that must be met as part of a comprehensive attack against the cartels an attack in depth, on both sides of the border, that focuses on the leadership and assets of the cartel. This is the type of full-bore, prosecution-driven approach that the U.S. Department of Justice took to dismantle La Cosa Nostra once the most powerful organized crime group operating in the United States.

    Holders has a long anti-gun history that includes the use of underhanded tactics that suggest he would be willing to use media stories of guns walking into Mexico resulting in mayhem and murder to push for stricter gun control lawsthe problem is the scheme backfired.

    Information revealed at the time of his confirmation hearing:

    http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=33694

    January 13, 2009 – Just last year in a brief to the Supreme Court, Holder argued that the Second Amendment did not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms, that it only protected government militias rights to guns. He claimed that the Second Amendment posed no obstacle to implementing gun bans.

    I cant find even one gun control law that Holder has opposed. On every gun control regulation he has discussed, he has been supportive, including: bans, raising the age that someone can possess a gun, registration and licensing, one-gun-a-month limit on purchases, and mandatory waiting periods.

    Even more troubling, while Holder served in the Clinton Justice Department, he oversaw the background check system, but he has never been asked to explain why the system broke down so consistently while he ran it.

    The breakdown in background checks, which had been a problem for years under the Clinton administration, magically fixed itself within weeks of President Bush assuming office in 2001, and the problems have not recurred.

    Fast and Furious is a huge scandal deserving big media attention but as always the fawning/boot licking MSM are providing cover for Democrats.

    “And this does not go on under Republican administrations?”

    Not a single Republican that I can name would spend horrendous amounts of money to “boost” the economy, particularly by “saving some jobs” and eliminating or oppressing others so no, “it” does not “go on” under Republican administrations.

    “You want the power back for its own sake?”

    What a stupid question. I said nothing that would suggest this…it does tell us how you think, however!

    Right on Peggy!!!

    It behooves us during this primary season to keep in mind the candidate we wish to defeat and that would be barack Obama.
