Well, the GOP Western Debate in Las Vegas sponsored by CNN, has come and gone and it is my conclusion that "what happens in Las Vegas, (should stay) stays in Las Vegas! However, the "cream" is still raising to the top. There are now only two candidates that continues to offer substance in their candidacy - Speaker Newt Gingrich and Businessman Herman Cain. Mr. Cain was attacked by every candidate except the Speaker for his 999 Tax Plan, which, in my humble opinion, means that it has a lot of merit. And the Speaker gave his usual sound and well thought out responses to the few questions directed to him. I do find it very frustrating that Gingrich does not speak more about his "21st Century CONTRACT WITH AMERICA. Here are the topics of his ten points, which you can download the full text @ http://www.newt.org:
1. REPEAL OBAMACARE. 2. RETURN TO ROBUST JOB RECREATION WITH A BOLD SET OF TAX CUTS AND REGULATORY REFORMS. 3. UNLEASH AMERICA'S FULL ENERGY PRODUCTION POTENTIAL IN OIL, NATURAL GAS, COAL, BIOFUELS, WIND, NUCLEAR OIL SHALE AND MORE. 4. SAVE MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY BY GIVING AMERICANS MORE CHOICES. 5. BALANCE THE FEDERAL BUDGET. 6. CONTROL THE BORDERS BY JANUARY 1ST, 2014. 7. REVITALIZE OUR NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM. 8. MAXIMIZE THE SPEED AND IMPACT OF MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS. 9. RESTORE THE PROPER ROLE OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH. And, perhaps the most important topic: 10. ENFORCE THE TENTH AMENDMENT.
All of this in ONLY 26 pages and can be read and digested in half an hour. What I believe you will conclude is that his Contract is simply COMMON SENSE! And this is what we need in Washington, DC, and in every government from the Court House to the State House and to the three branches of the federal government. What say you?
