Bret Baier posed a question to all of the candidates, asking if a real spending cuts deal was on the table, but included raising taxes, who would walk away from that deal? All of the candidates raised their hands.

When asked why he was shaking his head, Newt Gingrich said, "I think this "super committee" is about as dumb an idea as Washington has come up with in my lifetime."

He went onto say the idea that 523 congressman and senators are going to sit around for four months, while 12 people are going to sit in a room and brilliantly come up with a trillion dollars is irrational. He said, "They're going to walk in just before Thanksgiving and say 'Ok, we can shoot you in the head or cut off your right leg, which do you prefer.'"

  • Newt =lying globalist scumbag

  • NEWT!! :)

  • Who cares about Reagan, Gingrich, Obama, or any damn politician? We need to rebuild our education system. We need to get out of our mortgages and other debts and the sick relationships they chain us to. Americans are just being led about like pathetic pawns whining incessently when it is THEY WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE

    Don't believe them when they say the economy is the most important issue. It's not! Individual Liberty is. People have forgotten that and the chips will fall as they always do.

  • Can't vote for someone named Newt........sorry.

  • @ralphmotorhead You got that right!

  • "Go back to 'regular legislative business" --- because Congress proves time & time again how quickly and efficiently they are able to accomplish things that way with no political gamesmanship or obstruction. Newt- you're a fatass and really really stupid.
