Gingrich asks Romney to step aside.



RALEIGH, NC—Following Rick Santorum's announcement Tuesday that he would end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, candidate Newt Gingrich called upon frontrunner Mitt Romney to drop out of the race so the former House speaker could concentrate on the general election. "While I respect my challenger's right to fight through to the bitter end, the time has now come to unite behind one man so we can take back the White House in November," said Gingrich, addressing a crowd of 35 supporters at the Raleigh County Public Library. "My opponent should be congratulated on running a fine campaign. But I need him to swallow his pride, come back to reality, and tell all Republicans to throw their support behind Newt Gingrich as the next president of the United States." Gingrich noted that Romney's withdrawal would bolster Gingrich's fundraising efforts as he seeks to eliminate some of the $4.5 million in debt he has amassed thus far in his victorious campaign.

Whose kids are going to pay for the Bush stimulus packages?

I keep hearing the republicans and teabaggers complaining about how it's the future children that are going to pay for President Obama's stimulus and the AHCA.

What I don't hear or didn't hear when it was happening was...

Whose kids are going to pay for the first bush stimulus package in 2001? 
Whose kids are going to pay for the 2001 and 2003 bush tax cuts that totaled 2.5 trillion dollars?

Whose kids are going to pay for the unfunded bush prescription drug plan?

Whose kids are going to pay for 2 unfunded, illegal wars. One that we are still trying to claw our way out of.

Whose kids are going to pay for the bush $18 billion auto bailout?
President Bush has approved a $17.4 billion auto bailout, with $13.4 billion in emergency loans to prevent the collapse of GM and Chrysler and another $4 billion to be handed out in February. 

Whose kids are going to pay for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)  signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008.

Bush: TARP Bailout Needed to Avoid Depression

"But the former president stuck with his view that TARP Bailout Nation was necessary to avert a depression. And although there were other voices with different solutions inside his administration, he said there was no time for theoretical discussion."

Whose kids are going to pay for the surplus that was left by President Clinton that was wiped out in the first year of the bush boondoggle?

Are there different kids that pay for the bush deficit and others for the Obama deficit.

If it is the same kids paying for both deficits, where was the hue and cry when bush was spending money like a drunken sailor?

What's the difference?

I mean other than the bush deficit coming from tax cuts for the rich and the previously mentioned stimuli, wars, etc. and the Obama deficit coming from trying to keep the country from going bankrupt and keeping the job market from going down the toilet.

While at the same time trying to run a country while the republican/tea party obstructionists fight him every step of the way on almost everything that he proposes.

What's the difference?

The republicans know the difference. The tea party knows the difference.

And America is waking up and realizing what is going on.

America is hearing it in the way the republicans/tea party talk, and seeing it in their actions.

America is getting tired of it.

That realization is what will keep President Obama as president and put democrats in control of congress and increase their control of the senate.
