Hey Michael,
I am quite familiar with Keynesian economic theory and policy. I have yet to hear any Republican advocate for Keynesian economic theory, just the opposite. This is a big, big, really big distinction between conservatives and "Progressives".
See Paul Krugman, President Obama, as compared to Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul.
Please, no "cut and paste" definitions; could you please explain, in your own words, what the definition of Fascism is?

ROTFLMAO!
If Newt's FASCIST track record is any indication (which is all we actually have), then Newt would have been no different from Obama ... Bush ... Mr. Bill ....
We need someone who is going to GUT .... just as Harding did in 1920 ... NOT more of this failed, Keynesian nonsense we have endured since at least Roosevelt.

"Gingrich backed Rockefeller over Goldwater in 1964, backed Ford over Reagan in 1976, voted to create the Department of Education in 1979, wrote a book advocating a gigantic expansion of NASA, backed cap and trade, backed the individual mandate, long trumpeted FDR as the greatest president of the 20th century, and in general has always been a lefty. -- Kevin Gutzman

Despite the hatred from the likes of Gail Collins, and the fact that PlainOl loves to join in Moonbat singalongs, this is a shame. Newt Gingrich was the ONLY candidate that could have pulled the United States out of this communistic funk. No doubt, I will support Romney, but Romney is no Newt......
