Senate Democrats caused the Iran Hostage Crisis. If Nixon hadn't been bogged down by the media circus surrounding Watergate, he could've returned to where he wanted to be, foreign affairs, and averted the crisis before it even started.

This is fucking ridiculous. Clinton never did his job in the first place. Aside from that, after Newt stepped down (in 1998 I believe), Clinton had all of 2000 and probably all of 1999 to catch Osama. For God's freakin' sake here. This is just so fucking outrageous I can't put it into words. You're blaming the media circus of a marital scandal in 1998 for a terrorist attack in 2001. And not only that, you're not even blaming the President who allegedly committed the scandal, you're blaming the Speaker of the House for blowing it out of proportion. With this line of logic, I'm gonna bet we could blame Barack Obama for 9/11. George H. W. Bush for 9/11. Jimmy Carter for 9/11. Hillary for 9/11. Everybody for 9/11.

How would this damage the "Hamilton-Theodore Roosevelt strain of the nation"? Yes, this scheme does seem Hamiltonian. But how would this damage said "strain" of the nation? Does such a strain exist? What is it? Some of what this article says is kind of weird. "Obama is trying to be Roosevelt. Gingrich is modernizing that". Just a simple couple of sentences, but they don't make sense to me. Strange and interesting article. Gives me a couple ideas...

From what I know, Scozzafava was actually generally pro-gun.

Mr. Morden, could you combine all of these threads into one, Mega "Gingrich Attack Articles by Politico" thread?  This is becoming spam.

^^^^

Colonizing the Moon is fun! As for child labor laws, while I'm not in favor of American sweat shops and such, I shall play devil's advocate as usual. For one, it seems people automatically freak and assume that without child labor laws, kids would automatically be forced into said sweat shops. Two, they have prevented kidds from engaging in the marvelous art of capitalism, something I am still restrained from, though not by law as of the moment.
