And Newt demonstrated last night his inability to respond live to attacks and accusations. The only thing Newt does is blow dog whistles and lecture. Newt has been in government for 40 years. He's nothing new, and we've seen his complete bag of tricks 20 years ago. The sudden infatuation with Newt is laughable, especially by the Tea Party. Newt is the consummate Washington insider lobbyist, making his money off influence peddling. His taking credit for Clinton's accomplishments just gets better and better as Newt gets more and more grandiose in his claims.

taking credit for clinton's accomplishments??? really??

So let me get this straight.

the speaker of the house... ya know, the most important person in congress.. had nothing to do with accomplishments in the 90's?

Do I need to give you a basic rundown of how the government works.. especially how bills are formed? I probably could find some old slides from 5th grade..

Newt had plenty to do with some, and little to nothing to do with others. His claims are typical Newt - they get more grandiose as time goes on

While you are looking that up, read a good detailed book on our political sausage making from 1981 on, and Newt's real involvement. We have a long, long history of factual Newtdom to work off of.
