Gingrich told the audience they should work to make the 2009 and 2010 elections "among the most consequential in American history" and should work to elect "people who are actually willing to read the bills before they vote on them." Gingrich did not exempt the Republican Party from blame. "Tragically in the last few years the Republican Party became the right-wing of the party of big government and political elits and that's why there's a Bush-Obama continuity in economic policy which is frankly a disaster for this country and cannot work," Gingrich stated. He pointed to "12 American Solutions for Jobs and Prosperity" as a starting point. These include such ideas as abolishing the capital gains tax and cutting the corporate tax rate to 12.5 percent. Gingrich is also working on a novel due out in October based on George Washington's crossing the Delaware on Christmas Day.
By signing this Authorization for Representation Form, I authorize Political Workers Union Local 123 to represent me in negotiations with CPAC for better speakers, more comfortable seats and an all you can eat buffet during the conference. And I'll pay whatever dues you demand.
Ah, just kidding. But the union bosses aren't. And if you think they won't resort to this level of deception you haven't been paying attention for the last 50 years.
