For my part, this thread has been a bit of information,
but loaded with sarcasm and self-indulgent fun.
But after last evening's GOP debate, where I feel Romney slipped a few notches,
and Newt managed to hold his own, maybe it is time to look more seriously
at Gringrich's policies and intentions for his presidency.

When he was Speaker of the House, he and John Boehner formulated the 1994
"Contact With America", which Dem's renamed "Contract On America,
and the government was shut down twice.

My life experience is that people don't really change, and they do what they want to do.
For Gingrich, his campaign has again formulated a document named
"Century 21 - Contract With America"
As Dr Phil oft times says, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

So, I urge everyone to read and pay attention to the NY Times Editorial,
and Gingrich's intentions for changing the structure of the US government.
