Newt Gingrich, that jolly old former Speaker of the House, told a GOP group that the GOP needs to be for something, and not just against things. Then, he told the group what they needed to to go see people and explain their plan. What was the plan? Well, that's just it, he didn't give a plan.
Newt said that the GOP would have to go to town hall meetings and speak to groups that would accept GOP ideas, like business owners and entrepreneurs, and tell them what the GOP could do for them. Okay, that is a GOP strong point, as the GOP wants little to no taxes on the rich and very, very little, if any, business regulations. But Newt, that fewer than 10% of Americans? How would you build the base by getting other people? Well, Newt said that the GOP needed to tell regular people their message of hope rather than despair. He said the GOP needed to show regular people how the GOP plan would help them. So Newt, how does the GOP do that? Oh, he didn't say how the GOP would help most people, just that the GOP needed to tell people that the GOP would help them. Oh, so you want people to hope your plan helps them, rather than despair over the fact that the GOP plan leaves them completely and utterly helpless. Great idea Newt.
Newt Gingrich told the GOP that they need to be for something, rather than against everything. Okay Newt and the GOP, if you really have a plan for everyday people, tell us what it is. What's that? I don't hear anything. Oh, that's right, you don't have one.
