Yesterday I got a scathing article from Newt Gingrich. In the article, Predatory Politicians, Destructive Leftwing Policies and the Roots of the Housing Crisis, Newt rips congressional democrats a new one. Another in an ever growing list of writings and commentary that tend to confirm my own thoughts and opinions. First he sets them up:

This weekend looks like it’s going to be the kickoff of some major activity in the presidential campaign. Despite the horrendous socialist bailout bill served up this past week, the culprit in chief is still holding a decent lead in the polls. I think that’s going to change as now the McCain campaign, and Sarah [...]

Let’s see, what can you get for $700,000,000,000? Lots of stuff for sure. As it happens, there are a few things I think we can look at to give us an idea of just how much money we’re talking about. Here’s a list of things you can get for $700 billion:

I have to hand it to the John Boehner and the house republicans. They’ve almost restored my faith in them. Not since the days of Newt Gingrich and John Casik have I seen this kind of fiscal “hell no we won’t go” from anyone. Better late than never, I guess. Still, though I don’t think [...]

I wonder how pronounced the blame game would be if we weren’t in the home stretch of a presidential campaign? It looks to me like Bill Clinton is at least hedging his bet on Obama. If not, he’s running a stealth campaign to make sure he’s not the next president.
