Others posted a 2 minute clip comprised of cut and pasted clips from others in order to create certain impressions about the man taken totally out of context. In other words, it was a complete hit job, .... and a pretty cheap one at that.
The thought that anyone on here would lend credence to such a hit piece, especially in the face of lengthy speeches given by the man himself is rather remarkable. There is simply no comparison between the two videos. I know you guys are not that shallow, so get in the game.
I've listened to several of his speeches their entirety. The point made within the video holds.
He's a phenomenal orator, but he's as big gub'ment as the current president unless you think he's had a divine revelation and is categorically different starting today.

Newt has even less regard for the Constitution than Obama does, as he wrote the forward for the book "The Third Wave" that says the Constitution that has "served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced." He wants endless government control of every aspect of our lives. He has no regard for our civil liberties, wanting to form a new anti-terrorism group with unprecented ability to spy on the American public. He disgusts me.
Eh, the Big O makes up for it in other ways. I'll give Newt's a push.
