We Pay While Newtie Runs Up Debt, Not Delegates

Newtie may not be accumulating delegates for the Tampa campaign, but he sure is accumulating debt.  His latest campaign filing to the Federal Election Commission shows debt of about $3 million.

I would also say he owes a moral debt to us taxpayers for costing us tens of thousands of dollars a day for Secret Service protection for a sham, failed campaign.  This is supposedly someone who cares passionately about wasted government spending.

I guess this is Newt’s new “Contract with America” — we’re stuck in a contract to pay for this delusional pompous ass to pretend to run for a nomination that Mitt already has.

Table for Two — Newt Gingrich and His Ego

If you look at the economic data and think, “You know what we need?  A new Contract with America,” your wish is Newt Gingrich’s command.  Not only is Newtie going to present a new Contract, he promises this one will be “ten times deeper and more comprehensive” than his original Contract from 1994 that mostly never became law.

He also compares himself to Abraham Lincoln, saying his ideas are “exactly what Lincoln would have campaigned on.”  So get ready for some bold policy on slavery and building a transcontinental railroad!

Rick Perry may want to undo the New Deal and take us back to the 1920’s, but why stop there?   Newtie’s way-back machine is revved up and headed for the 1850’s.
