Newt talking 'brain science' to a TeaPeople group?

Now, that's funny!

Really Feisty - you are impressed?

Huh. it's almost like you fail to grasp that Iowa, in its entirety has a population of about 3 million.

Whereas your great city, and very densely packed progressive paradise has about 2.7.

Like I said earlier - po-dunk.

@Chilled - that made me chuckle too, until I read this line. Of course, it is only about the money.

speech here at the university to discuss his strategies for saving money in the brain science field.

Gingrich wants everyone to run "clean" campaigns purely because he stands to lose the most if his GOP colleagues dredge up dirt. Newt is a walking time bomb of old crimes, old scandals, and old enemies.

Monkey Nuts,

Perhaps you have never been to Iowa City but the Iowa City Metropolitan Area has 150,000 people and the University of Iowa. Math is not my long suit but I am fairly sure 250 people would be .0016th of the resident population. A turn out of 250 is good for a grade school basketball game but poor for the Iowa City East Youth Football. On a Saturday or Sunday morning in less time than this appearance more than 250 people go through the Naples Ave Dunkin Donuts.

jkh

go to hell

Lead the way - we'll be right behind you. Honest.

You can love Gingrich or hate him for whatever reason you like...doesn't matter to me. But the guy is as sharp as a saber...I loved how he tossed out the "99%" and "1%" tags on the folks in the room.

You first.

The dependent upon providers is the name of the game. Those who have, majority vs those who want what they have no intention of working for it.That is the 99$ who are really 25%.

"I appreciate that 95 percent percent of you, maybe even 99 percent of you wanted to actually have an intelligent discussion and are not going to be drowned out by the 1% who try to impose there will by trying to make noise,"

What a great comeback to the loud and obnoxious nuts whose whole purpose is to disrupt intelligent discourse.

I'm real impressed Feisty. More than a whole dozen. That's 12, right!!

Of course, if the conservatives got into a liberal speech and protested, they would be labeled political terrorists. Your hypocrisy is a joke.

...and Obama hides under his pillow.

Obama is hiding? Gingrich is the one who is desperately trying to avoid a head-on collision with our President!

Gingrich vs. Obama

No one actually doubts that he'll, ummm, compromise, do they?

I don't even think he wants it stopped. he's just pandering to the environmentalists in his base.

Tough sell - to be against more and cheaper oil and job production.

Should be interesting to see what the senate does. Many dems are all in for more oil and jobs. Manchin, Tester, Nelson.

Spanky-, that oil is Canada`s oil, oil is a commodity and it will be sold to you as per world market prices. If you don`t like that then we will sell it to China. Is not capitalism just great!

I kind of like the idea of building state-of-the-art refining facilities in the Pacific Northwest. The pipeline will have less impact, since it will be shorter. The facilities will create permanent jobs, in addition to the construction jobs, and our refining capabilities will be more reliable. I realize the Pacific Northwest has a risk of earthquake, but we've already seen what can happen to the Gulf Coast.

Let us not forget that the pipeline is only being delayed due to the concern that the proposed route was over an important aquifer in Nebraska . . . at the request of the Republican/TP Inc. party Nebraska Governor. The delay is to simply plan a slightly different route through Nebraska to prevent a potential disaster that could pollute the drinking water that Nebraskans depend upon. It takes a while to carefully plan those things so that they are done right, thus the delay until 2013. Again, as requested by the Republican/TP Inc. party Nebraska Governor.

The facts will set you free.

Here's where he is caught between a rock and a hard place.

Not just any jobs.

UNION jobs.

White Collar:

Canadian union jobs.

Spanky:

Republican run Nebraska has stopped the pipeline, not Obama.

If President Obama "caves" on the Keystone Pipe Line, it will be because, again, the American Middle Class and Poor will be held hostage.

If he doesn't "cave" then only the Middle Class and the Poor will suffer, not the TP/Republican Rich House and their lord and master, Grover Norquist.

. But, one of these days there will be no middle class only the poor and no money to pour into the Corporate Welfare.

If he doesn't "cave" then he will be called down for that also. Regarding Union Jobs they are still the only jobs that pay enough to make the payments that are due for the union families. I would think that everyone would be organizing at this point in time. Do you really think that Americans will continue to take this greed of your House Representatives and their bowing down to Norquist.

Norquist will not become the first dictator of America no matter what he thinks.

And, this bill to help the Middle and Poor Classes should not have had any other items attached to it.

I hope Cantor, Boehner, McConnell and the others will soon feel the burn of the American voters.

k fin

nice comeback rechid. almost like u had something to say.

The minute I heard that David Gregory was launching MSNBC politics, I knew it was going to be made up of the usual NBC bias for Obama. The good thing is we can tell who they are most scared of by who they try to tear down the most.

The same thing as if Mike Huckbee won Iowa, that's "what if"?

A lot of what ifs, What if Obama aka Soetoro released his real birth certificate?

What if you teabaggers finally found a real issue to discuss instead of teleprompters, 57 states, and birth certificates? Someone finally might have to take you seriously...or not.

TO: Kurt's comments who wrote:

Carnival Barker.

Well SAilcat,

How about a unconstitutional Socialist take over of our health care

How about putting a section in the defense bill to hold AMERICAN CITIZENS indefinitely in total contrast to our bill of rights

How about traveling the world appoligizing for America

How about spending billions on "shovel ready jobs" to pay back union supporters and whining when he can't do it again

How about the largest increase in the national debt in history

How about spending millions on telling people they shouldn't drink soda or eat salt when the FDA can't keep contaminated food our of our supply chain

How about trying to make former working people welfare mentallity voters for him by keeping them on ever continued unemployment instead of allowing jobs to be created.

How about starting more wars after getting elected by saying he would end the two we were i

How about all the czars he brought from Chicago, many with criminal and communist histories

I could go on and on but how about those for starters.

Finally Newt is 100% correct on Brain Science. Correcting brain chemicals can cure numerous diseases-mental and physical. It can be quite inexpensive by comparison. It is a facinating new field.

elaine, the correct terminology is Neuroscience and it is not new.

Hmmm, just what chemicals are you referring to Elaine? The ones being billed to Medicaid even when patients don't need them because the drug company reps push the docs for numbers? The 188.5 TONS of unused drugs collected this year by the DEA so they don't end up in our water supply? (National Take Back Initiative)

Or whatever the drug companies choose to push having made their contributions to Gingrich's campaign in exchange for this speech? So now there is a "lobbyist" who is an "historian" speaking on "brain science". Amazing. How much is his fee for this business/self interest speaking engagement?

My ex-wife was on Prozac. She actually needed it. She went off of it once, and turned into the . . . well,, let's just say that it was not a pretty picture.

Yes, Elaine, you are correct, it is a fascinating field. It is kind of interesting that people who are supposedly very intelligent people (i.e. Newt . . . is it me, or does anyone else think of an animal from a story like The Hobbit, or some other fantasy tale, when you see, hear, write or say 'Newt'?) would say 'brain science', instead of 'neuroscience', though.

How about Monty Python.....

"She's a witch. She turned me into a Newt!"

"You don't look like a Newt."

"I got better."

Nice, JC! Thanks, that works, too.

Hand, slap Talk.

So, Darrel, are you saying that Newt was not fined $300,000.00 for ethics violations while he was serving as Speaker of the House? Are you saying that Newt did not resign 3 days after winning his election in 1998 due pressure from his fellow Republican/TP Inc. party members? Are you saying that he did not have an extra-marital affair while trying to impeach President Clinton for getting a BJ?

Is that what you mean by ". . . you find that most of the allegations against Newt are just that LIES."

If you substituted the word TRUTH for the word LIES in Darrel's rant, it would make much more sense.

Point of fact, Newt was convicted of providing false information to the committee that was investigating his ethics violations. He was penalized $300,000.00 to help pay for the investigations into his conduct. He was also forced out of his office by his own party because he represented a huge liability.

Newt is, therefore, a liar and a cheat. No lie.

Wow, just wow.

Could you tell us which facts are actually lies, or do we have to guess?

Oh, guess. It'll be more fun. I'll guess his name's not really Darrel.

Anyone want to place a wager on whether or not those debates would ever actually take place?

So?

"Are you saying that he did not have an extra-marital affair while trying to impeach President Clinton for getting a BJ?"

Why do you guys keep getting this wrong? He was impeached for lying to a grand jury....and you want to question Newt's intelligence by using the words "brain science" instead of neuroscience?

BTW have you attended any of the occupy Houston rallies? I haven't seen any of these jackasses around Jefferson & Main St. I guess many of them are still hanging out in Jame Bute park?

Are you calling President Clinton a dog?

Do you remember the townhall meetings that were disrupted by TP'ers who refused to allow a discussion of the Healthcare bill?

As you age, memory is the second thing to go. I forget what's first.

The real 1% er's are the "Occupy" movement smufs. I find it funny that if you asked what they are protesting, and everyone of them has a different answer. And NOT ONE of them has a bit of common sense.

I agree...Good Post.

Most informed people agree as well.

The ruling class writes the laws in their favor by purchasing politicians "called campaing donations" - why else would you see country club prisons as seen as the type Maddof is in...he ruined peoples lives just like a crack dealer ruins peoples lives.

Why do they get preferencial treatment.

Or the gulf oil spill where BP and Haliburton choose to recklessly select bypassing know safety procedures all in the name of higher profits if their gamble paid off. Until we as Americans insist and change that all are held accountable under the same rules they will continue to purposely screw the weaker class.

If hard jail sentences were immenint for all involved in that fiaso do you think they would have let the Risk Management group accept the risks...because it's cheaper to pay repairations and cleanup than to do it right. Maybe the risk of spending time (10-20 years for all involved?) in jail with Bubba as your roomate would change that instead of going to a dorm room with a fence around it...eating better meals than 50% of Americans.

There is a fight going on and the Republican ruling class has been at it secretly for the last 20 years....problem is we didn't know it, problem is the government condoned it and wrote laws making it legal to do so.

Im 50 years old, an Ex-Republican have been striving to get to that 1% class all my life....Trust me they won't let you in.

I was at an airport when a frazzled looking man came to the checkin counter. He said he was delayed because no buses were stopping to pick him up in the airport long-term parking, so now he was in danger of missing his flight. The airport employee told him to get in line. The man said, but I'm going to miss my flight because the airport bus didn't stop and now I'm late. The airport employee told him to get in line. That was when the man started shouting, "Help, Help. I'm going to miss my flight and no one will help me." The airport employee started to panic and got on the phone. Shortly, a manager type came up and got him through.

The point of the story is - Occupy needs to be loud or no one will pay attention.

Change is not pretty nor easily come by.

I could give a damn if they re offended at some protesters voicing their opinion; and the arrogance of Newt makes me want to puke.

Congress has already passed a known segment of the Defense Bill to hold Americans indefinately under the guise of National Security without due process....whose to say in the future these disruptions will not "deemed" a National Security Issue. Thank god President Obama has theatened to veto this travesty of the American way.

Go ahead a lay down your rights.

I support these people and the OWS with all my heart.

Ron Paul is the only Stand-up Republican in the feild, forcing the Fed with Bernie Sanders into their first ever audit.....

Slamming Bush last week on 911 and the Iraq war; and I quote when he was aked by a local reporters about the war

Ron Paul said "I was completely disgusted with the absolute Glee the Bush administration had when we were attacked on 911, because now he had the reason they wanted to attack Iraq".

I commend him for saying the truth.

Mark my words....even if he is the polls popular vate in the primaries ...He will not get the nomination.

To bad because even though some of his foreign policy is squirely he does seem to be a statesman and understand the inequality thats being forced upon the majority of America.

David...Who in the sideshow would you recommend? Newt is only in i for the$ and the ego stroke, Bachmann and Perry are not smart enough. Pollenti and Ron Paul are a sick joke. Then you have Mitt. Good luck to us all if he should be the new flavor of the month. Huntsman is the only choice ...but we are to blind to see it. So for my vote Obama in 2012...but with a lot less Rep/baggers.

I agree, your cat would have a better chance than Newt, or Romney.

Going down in 2012 - the Obama era ends and America wins (and my cat will be happy once again). I guess we need these periodic times of whimsey like the Carter disaster to get right once again with the American dream.

At msnbc lol ...hell there to busy getting thrills up there legs ....

MSNBC would have to hire some journalists first...they don't have any right now; just asst spokesmen for the WH and DNC!!!!

........................crickets chirping.....................

Which is what Obama is counting on running a negative campaign citing all Newt's past transgressions.....otherwise if he had to run on his record as POTUS there wouldn't be much to tout.
