The essence of Newt

[santahog]

With FQ, mauler, TAB, and a couple others,....I have found the perfect comparison regarding the posts they sometimes make:

They are the guitar players, we are Belushi....But we apologize,....and it's never personal.....

 

That's hysterical.. I feel like that sometimes...I never saw the movie..

A serious question on Newt, though.. How, (should he...) do we keep the guy in check, with a Congress that individually ignores their constituants? Newt does have a tendency to go off the Constitutional reservation in pursuit of a big idea..
His version of "Health Care" violates the privacy of every "Citizen". (I don't think that our rights apply to non-citizens, but that's another upcoming, I hope discussion..)
I hear what he says on the 2A at the NRA convention but he can be so "pragmatic" as to be dismissive that which he claims to defend..
He thinks that one can be reasoned with, it seems, as it applies to foreign policy. That has demonstrated itself to be... naive.. (think Carter) over the years, and getting worse as our reputation for intellegence, resolve, consistancy and decisiveness declines..
He's still a free "traitor". I have yet to see one positive impact for the US economy as a whole from NAFTA, GATT, WTO, or any of the little "_afta's". Even Rush has started to reexamine the supposed virtues of "free" trade..
---I realize I might get some push back on that view. Can't help it.. It's what I think---
The PATRIOT Act blows the Fourth and Sixth Ammendments (as t applies to US Citizens, residing in the US) all to hell and even the best of the Senate seem to treat that thing as mainstream thought.

Ya know what I mean?

I have to say here.. I like Perry, but he has a bad back and I think he hasn't been taking the Vicodin long enough to build up a working tolerance to it.. (Hence, the slightly curious speech performances.) I don't mind him being a little goofy. Actions are what count. I don't think he can. as Pres. really rearrange the Congressional Calendar to resemble that of the Texas or New Hampshire Legislature, making promises he cannot keep. Can he?
On that line of thought, can the EPA (or Dept. of Ed., for that matter) even be castrated/disbanded solely by the Executive Branch?

Any thoughts?

We should require all politicians to attend the National matches a Camp Perry, a few Prairie dog hunts, and Knob Creek.
When they realize how well citizens shoot, and how much stuff they do shoot, it should make them rethink some of their BS.
