We Need Someone as Mad as Hell as We Are

All this talk by TV commentators and DC politicians about how Newt Gingrich is unelectable is proof positive that neither have a clue just how mad "we the people" are! We need someone unconventional to fight for us. We do not need politically correct TV pundits or politicians who do not realize how desperate we are.

Over 50% of homeowners in Florida owe more on their home than it is worth. They cannot stand more of the same. They are pissed, deservedly so. Just who do you think they are going to vote for next Tuesday? If they think NEWT will fight; they want him on their side.

By some counts 20 million fellow Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Call it what you will....this is a DEPRESSION! Millions of families living like we are a third world country. 46 Million collecting food stamps!

The politicians are truly driving us into bankruptcy, spending money like "it's the old days" and thinking that jobs that have left for good are going to come back to cure the deficit. The jobs are not coming back. Read the NY Times article, http://www.cnbc.com/id/46090589/, How the US Lost Out on iPhone Work .

“Companies once felt an obligation to support American workers, even when it wasn’t the best financial choice,” said Betsey Stevenson, the chief economist at the Labor Department until last September. “That’s disappeared. Profits and efficiency have trumped generosity.”

"the focus on Asia “came down to two things,” said one former high-ranking Apple executive. Factories in Asia “can scale up and down faster” and “Asian supply chains have surpassed what’s in the U.S.” The result is that “we can’t compete at this point,” the executive said."

“The entire supply chain is in China now,” said another former high-ranking Apple executive. “You need a thousand rubber gaskets? That’s the factory next door. You need a million screws? That factory is a block away. You need that screw made a little bit different? It will take three hours.”

"Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The company’s analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States.
In China, it took 15 days."

“We shouldn’t be criticized for using Chinese workers,” a current Apple executive said. “The U.S. has stopped producing people with the skills we need.”

They criticize NEWT for questioning Bain Capital. Who is going to question APPLE??? They now employ 10 times as many people in China than they do in the US.

Give me a fighter! Give me NEWT!!!
