Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney Not as Conservative As They Claim to Be
It is time for a reality check when it comes to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. I am sick and tired of their supporters dragging out the same tired old and already refuted attacks against Rick Santorum. It is pathetic and it is an act of the desparate. Since they won't let up on the smears it is time to get the facts straight. When I am through both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich will be exposed for what they truly are FRAUDS!
Lets start by comparing their stances on the issues with that of Obama and Rick Santorum.
Lets start by comparing their stances on the issues with that of Obama and Rick Santorum.
As you can see in the above chart there is very little difference between Newt, Mitt, and Obama. You can also see how Rick Santorum clearly contrasts with all three of them. Now I know that some of you might not be convinced by a simple chart displaying the candidates positions so I intend to examine each candidates positions much more closely. When I am finished you will not be able to deny the truth any longer about Newt and Mitt: They aren't as Conservative as many of you have come to believe.
NEWT GINGRICH
Lets start by examining Newt Gingrich. Speaker Gingrich loves to brag about being a conservative firebrand reformer in the 1990's when he was Speaker of the House from 1995 through 1998. Is he telling the truth? Lets find out where Newt really stands on the most important issues.
HEALTHCARE MANDATES
Newt Gingrich like Barack Obama supports an Individual Mandate for Healthcare Insurance as far back as 1993 through to as recently as this year. He still believes in and I quote "Must Carry or mandatory Health Insurance or you can pay a $100K or $150K bond instead. Either way no Free Riders" Newt also expressed suppport for Mitt Romney's Healthcare plan in Massachussetts. How is this different than Obama's mandate to have Health Insurance or pay a fine?
Answer: It's Not!

GLOBAL WARMING and CAP AND TRADE
Newt believes in Man Made Global Warming he went as far as to sit on a couch with Nancy Pelosi talking about what to do about Climate Change. He voted for a Cap and Trade program for Carbon. He believes in Green energy like Ethanol and in subsidies for energy. Again how does this really differ from Obama on this subject? Answer: It Does Not!
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/hank/111212
GUN CONTROL
Newt supported the Lautenberg Gun Ban and numerous other Gun Control legislation on numerous occassions. Yet again how does this differ from Obama? Answer: It Does Not!

DREAM ACT/AMNESTY
Newt Gingrich is supportive of the Dream Act with a Military Componant for young illegals. The Dream Act is basically Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. Obama has been pushing for the Dream Act with this componant and an education componant for four years. Newt during the Florida debate back in January stated that he would sign the Dream Act with this Military componant. I have to ask again do you see a difference between Newt and Obama on this issue? Answer: No Not Much!

TARP BAILOUTS
Newt started out opposed but after about a week he switched his position because quote "business leaders told him it was a crisis". This wouldn't be the first time Newt supported bailouts. In 2008 then Senator Obama voted for TARP and continued the program as President. Do you see a difference between Newt and the President? I don't.

OBAMA STIMULUS
Most surprising of all is that Newt praised aspects of the Obama Stimulus, specifically spending on you guessed it healthcare. I'm sorry but this is a double whammy of Bad for Newt. I for one can't see ever supporting someone that could praise one letter of the monstrosity that was the Obama Stimulus. Do you see a difference? I am starting to see a pale clone.

ETHANOL SUBSIDIES
Ethanol a tenant of Obama's Green Energy Initiative and Newt not only is one of the few GOP supporters of it but one of his biggest supporters is an ethanol company that big shocker receives subsidies. This to me is another example of Newt's penchant for Green/Enviroment policies. This also smells of a potential Solyndra situation. Can we really afford to have a candidate that favors such things? Answer: A Resounding NO!!!!!

ENTITLEMENT REFORM
Newt just last year blasted the Paul Ryan Medicare Reform plan as and I quote "Right Wing Social Engineering". This cut the Ryan Plan off at the knees and essentially killed it. A GOP candidate that did this should have been long gone yet somehow Newt has managed to double talk his way into people's good grace's. Well perhaps people need a reminder. Obama also opposed such reforms to entitlements. I view this as a betrayal.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2011/12/13/newt-gingrich-describes-paul-ryans-entitlement-reforms-as-suicide/
SOCIAL ISSUES
Newt is pretty much Pro Life and opposed to gay marriage, but he has been wishy washy on the former once supporting abortions in cases of rape, incest, etc. and he did not fight to end funding to famiy planning funds. On the latter he has a family member that is gay and has criticized conservatives on how they talk about the issue. He also has supported stem cell research in the past. On these issues Newt isn't as bad as other Republicans but he also isn't the strongest advocate for them.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/gingrich-had-no-problem-with-stem-cell-research-a-few-years-ago/2011/12/08/gIQAUszchO_blog.html
BUDGETS
Newt likes to brag that he balanced the budget for 4 straight years which were FY's 1997-2000. There are two major problem's with this assertion. First is that two of the years he is taking credit for he was no longer Speaker since he was ousted in 1998 before FY 1999's budget was put forward. The second problem is that during all 4 years the national debt went up. How is this possible if we balanced the budget and had supposed surpluses? I will tell you what happened there was no surplus that magically disappeared when George W. Bush took office and there was no balanced budget not really. What happened was that the Trust Funds that held surpluses and were supposed to be held in "Trust"-I am talking about Social Security, Military Retirement, etc,-were raided by Clinton and Newt Gingrich so they could balance the budget, only they used clever accounting gimmicks to hide the fact that they did this, so these trusts still show that this money that has already been spent is still in the trusts thanks to the double counting that Paul Ryan once spoke of on the Congress floor, but in reality all that is there are IOU's which are worthless and now that more baby boomers are retiring and there will more retired then are working the Social Security Trust will see deficits and is in serious trouble solvency wise if something isn't done. So while Newt takes credit and loves to brag about this "accomplishment" remember the high price we paid as a country. With corrupt scheme's like this is it any wonder why Newt's favorite President is FDR.

CONCLUSION
Newt is no different then Obama on the key issues of the day, how can we expect such a poor contrast to our current President to beat the incumbant? Debate skills and shiney rhetoric only get you so far in a Presidential Election especially when you are a Republican and you are running against an Incumbant even one who is as unpopular as Obama. You got to remember Obama has the whole media, his billion dollar campaign machine, the Unions/Special Interests, Hollywood, and his Super PACS behind him. Plus he is the President so he can go on TV anytime he wants. Newt has baggage, is weak on the important issues, and he has a next to nill shot at the nomination at this point. I think I will pass on Newt.

MITT ROMNEY
Now lets talk about Mitt Romney and his stances on the issues. Governor Romney has a long history of being on both sides of an issue also known as flip flopping. Kind of reminds me of another politician from Massachussetts that ran for President by the name of John Kerry. We all know how Senator Kerry's attempt to unseat an Incumbant went. DEFEAT! Lets examine Mitt's record more closely and see what the truth really is.
HEALTHCARE MANDATES
As we all know by now Mitt Romney as Governor signed into law Healthcare reform that included an Indiviual Mandate in it. The Massachussetts Law has infamously become known as Romneycare and is known to be the predecessor and model for Obamacare. In fact Romney urged Obama to use his plan as a model and to use the individual mandate in his Healthcare law, 3000 pages and some dirty dealing later we have Obamacare. How can a candidate that supported and passed a law like this be seriously considered as a candidate in such an important election? Answer: He Can't Be!

CAP & TRADE/GLOBAL WARMING/ETHANOL SUBSIDIES
Mitt Romney also signed into law the nations first Carbon Caps at the state level. Boy ol' Mittens was two for two. Romney believes in Global Warming/Climate Change and the junk science that says it is caused by man. He also believes government needs to do something about it through caps on carbon and green energy like Ethanol thus his support for ethanol subsidies. We all know that Obama failed to implement his Cap and Trade program, and that he loves Green Subsidies like for Ethanol after all Solyndra was a Green Energy Company. Gee can Romney become anymore of an Obama clone in Republican clothing? I am afraid to ask.

GUN CONTROL AND DREAM ACT/AMNESTY
Mitt Romney as Governor supported his states Gun Control Laws and did everything he could to protect them. And in the same debate that Newt uttered that he would sign the Dream Act, Romney who just minutes before said he would veto the bill quickly stated that he would sign it with the Military componant. Showing his lack of conviction that he would change his stripes depending on the winds, he sensed he was losing Latino's and Independents to Newt after the Speaker pushed center on the issue so he flip flopped. The DREAM Act Obama's Amnesty Plan is yet another Obama Project that Romney stated support for plus Obama doesn't like guns unless they are in the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels thanks to Fast and Furious then they are OK. I'm Not seeing Any differences here.

Mitt Romney expressed support for the TARP Wall Street Bailouts BUT not for the Auto Bailouts. He also supported the Obama Stimulus Package even going so far as saying that Bush should have signed it before leaving office. Then it flopped and he flipped again. Romney opposes reforms to Social Security even went as far as to use left style attacks on an opponant who suggested it, you know the typical scare tactics. How can we even think of nominating this guy?

SOCIAL ISSUES
On Abortion, Gay Marriage, and other social Issues Mitt Romney has been on both sides of the Issues. In 1994 and 2002 when he was running for Senator and Governor he took the Liberal stance. Now that he is running for President we are supposed to believe he has had a Conservative awakening. Which Mitt would we get if he is Elected? Answer: We Don't Know.

I don't see any differences at all between Romney and Obama aside from the obvious, I also see a typical flip flopping politician with no convictions. No Thanks!

CONCLUSION
Mitt Romney former Governor of Massachussetts is a Moderate at best, but based on this he is a progressive like Obama only with Republican flavor. I don't see any differences at all between Romney and Obama aside from the obvious, I also see a typical flip flopping politician with no convictions. No Thanks!

RICK SANTORUM
Finally we have Rick Santorum who unlike Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich has always opposed Individual Mandates, Cap and Trade, The Bailouts, The Obame Stimulus, Gun Control, Ethanol Subsidies, and Amnesty. Rick has always been Pro Life and Opposed to Gay Marriage and Stem Cell Research on Embryos. Rick has always supported Entitlement reform and even led the way on Welfare Reform in the Senate, plus he attempted to do the same for Social Security. When Newt and Clinton were raiding the Trusts including Social Security, Rick voted for a measure to preserve Social Security and the others and prevent such actions. Rick has for over 20 years championed conservative causes and would clearly make the best contrast to Obama.
