Looks like Newt endorsed the federal individual mandate in Obamacare. For those who consider the mandate evil, and disqualify Mitt for enacting one at the state level, Newt's support for a mandate at the federal level could be a big problem for him. http://bit.ly/ADqTxw“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Gingrich vows to ban embryonic stem-cell research, questions in vitro practices
A major flip-flop and further evidence that The Gingrich will say anything to anybody to get a vote.
And in a news conference Sunday, he said he would ban all embryonic stem-cell research, including that done on discarded embryos created by in vitro fertilization.
-------------------------
“I believe life begins at conception, and the question I was raising was what happens to embryos in fertility clinics, and I would favor a commission to look seriously at the ethics of how we manage fertility clinics,” Gingrich said at a news conference outside another Baptist church here. “If you have in vitro fertilization, you are creating life; therefore, we should look seriously at what the rules should be for clinics that are doing that, because they are creating life.”
--------------------------
In 2001, when then-President George W. Bush was considering new guidelines for federal funding of stem-cell research, Gingrich had indicated in at least two interviews on Fox News that he would support using government money for research on embryos in fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded.
“For many of us, there’s a very, very real distinction between doing something with an unborn child, a fetus that is implanted, and doing something with cells in a fertility clinic that are otherwise going to be destroyed,” Gingrich said in one of the interviews, on July 10, 2001.
In the other, 10 days later, he added: “I think that there are ways to have appreciation for life, to recognize the sanctity of life, but nonetheless to look at fertility clinics where there are cells that are sitting there that are not going to be used to create life. They literally today, they’re unregulated, they can be thrown away. And I think the president, I hope the president, will find a way to agree that there ought to be federally funded research.”Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

From me, yes. From those who come unhinged over that issue, probably not. Strategically, I think the point is that Newt will now find it much harder to attack that aspect of Obamacare than Mitt will.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostDoesn't Newt get some "flips but not flops" like Romney?Last edited by LA Ute; 01-30-2012, 10:25 AM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

I see a trend here.The only Cuban-American GOP House member in south Florida to endorse Gingrich is Rep. David Rivera, who is under a cloud of criminal investigations.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Newt is a joke. He really is a crybaby. After getting his butt handed to him with a silent audience he threatened to not participate again if the audience couldn't cheer. After getting his butt handed to him a second time with a crowd that was allowed to cheer he now is threatening to not participate if a reporter is allowed to moderate. He's just embarrassing himself at this point.
