I hope Newt will wise up and get off the hyperthetical nonsense. Bare Facts of the Economy, and unemployment are leading problems the President has to face. He doesnt have to deal with the dream and wishes, but with facts.

#1.1 GM on 06/16/11 at 10:44 AM

The economy problems would not be that difficult to resolve with some applications of common sense, tax reductions, and real capitalism.

#1.1.1 Anonymous on 06/16/11 at 05:45 PM

You CANNOT reduce the deficit AND reduce taxes! Especially with 3 wars.

#1.1.1.1 MR. RIGHT on 06/16/11 at 10:15 PM

A good way to reduce taxes is to stop paying unemployment and other aid to sorry a$$ Americans who choose not to take the farming jobs or any other job that was rightfully taken away from illegal aliens who truly want to earn a living !!! I was wrong, you people shouldn't be called Americans, just sorry a$$e$ !! Remember how hard our forefathers had it years ago . If it was not for their determination to provide and survive a lot of us would not be here today . So with that said I think we owe it to them to man up and work hard at any job to provide a service not only for this country, but for our own self satisfaction and preservation .

Thank you for your time . This speech has been paid for by AT&T .

Mr. Right for president! If you will just add...."increase import tax"......I will campaign for you.

#1.1.1.1.2 Anonymous on 06/17/11 at 07:39 PM

Get your sorry AZZ off here and do something productive. Do not call people sorry unless you know their circumstances for sure.

#1.1.1.2 GM on 06/17/11 at 08:37 AM

I disagree with you totally. I’ll take a stab and say that you obviously don’t understand capitalism and economics or either you are a democratic economics college professor. You CAN reduce the deficit and INCREASE revenue too. The main obstacle standing in the way now is government. They want to take from anyone generating income to give to everyone that is not. Many of those getting those free handouts are those that don’t want to go to work and support government to continue getting those freebies. The term is, “don’t bite the hand that feeds you’. Reduced taxes encourage the big money to create jobs in the USA and move away from those overseas locations. Those jobs create private taxpaying citizens and reduce those in the take column; hence more people paying tax and less money going out to support those that don’t. Loys of people prefer to support themselves and don’t like the freebies and would much rather go to work. However, we will continue to have a large group of people that insist on the handouts and will fight to support any government official that keeps the freebies coming in. Perhaps you should read the comment in 1.1.1.1. Although obviously angry, he is on the “right” trek. 50% of Americans don’t pay any tax. It is everyone’s responsibility provide for the general welfare of the nation. It is nobody’s responsibility to provide welfare on a continuous basis. At some point people must become responsible. In fact, provide for the general welfare and provide welfare has two totally different meanings.

Create jobs and put taxpayers to work and the revenue will come and stop flowing in the wrong direction. Isn’t it funny we are turning into a welfare nation where government depends on welfare checks from the individuals and companies that helped to make this country strong to pay the bill? Doesn’t anyone refer back to our founding fathers? “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Thomas Jefferson

I agree. They need to tell the unemployed to take the jobs available or go home without.

There are jobs, people just don't want to do them.

WHERE WERE NEWTS, CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES WHEN HE LEFT HIS WIFE PASTOR BENNY?

#2 Anonymous on 06/16/11 at 11:05 AM

BENNY TATE NEEDS TO STOP USING ROCK SPRINGS AS A POLITICAL STEPPING GROUND OR IT IS GONNA END UP A STOMPING GROUND... HAVE BEEN THRU ENOUGH IN MY LIFE TO KNOW THAT GOD IS FORGIVING, BUT WHEN BENNY DOGS OUT THE CLINTONS AND THE KENNEDYS,WHAT ABOUT NEWT LEAVING HIS SICK WIFE(WEDDING VOWS NEWT)?WHERE WAS NEWTS MORAL AND CHRISTIAN VALUES TO HIS FAMILY THEN....GODS HOUSE IS FOR WORSHIP NOT FOR POLITICAL GAIN...

#2.1 Anonymous on 06/16/11 at 02:56 PM

Thank you for speaking out -- I thoroughly agree. I am fed up with the hypocrisy of the the Republicans.

#2.1.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/17/11 at 09:22 AM

Newt is a scumbag. Clinton is a bigger scumbag. Kennedy was good-looking (I was in the seventh grade). JFK was married to the most beautiful and classy First lady we have had in America.

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy. Even her name sounds classy.

She stuck to her religious beliefs even though she suffered public ridicule because of JFK's rendezvous with Marilyn Monroe. His whores were even beautiful.

At least when JFK died...he had Hope in the Pope.

Little Newt............AIN'T got a prayer.

I think I'll pass, now that Sonny has defected the newt camp wonder if he will show at Benny's party, what ever happened to separaration of church and state

#4 nobennybutterforme on 06/16/11 at 02:30 PM

Newt Gingrich? Really Benny? Let's ask him about those marriage vows. Everyone should boycott this meeting and not attend, but we know all those bennybutter cult members would show up if even it was the devil himself speaking.

By all means, let's support Brother Benny.....he's such a good man.

#5 OH YEAH!!! on 06/16/11 at 04:06 PM

will they be serving Kool-Aid?

#6 Charlie Muise on 06/16/11 at 04:07 PM

Wow, lucky us. We get a leftover has-been. Newt's got as much chance at the Presidency as I do, and that is realistically zero. He knows it, he's just using this as a way to get in some travel, make some money and pad his substantial ego.

Can't Rock Springs do better?

#6.1 Not a Benny-basher! on 06/16/11 at 11:09 PM

RSC had Hermain Cain months ago, who is now one of the top contenders for the nomination. They have been in serious talks with Michelle Bachmann about coming to the church. The church and people there do not agree with everything that Newt has done or stands for, but he does have a very strong pro-life voting record and will bring attention and raise awareness about the wonderful ministry, Melba's Manor Maternity Home, that this event will support.

#6.1.1 Anonymous on 06/17/11 at 10:06 AM

Maybe Congressman Weiner can be next!

#6.1.2 Anonymous on 06/17/11 at 10:46 AM

Herman Cain and Michele Bachman .. the right wing political backing of this church is all the more reason to never cross it's threshold.

#7 sup yo on 06/16/11 at 05:34 PM

I'll be glad when we become more metro. then there will be much more to do. this city wont be as boring then. Maybe this will bring people down here. JUst MAYBE but i doubt it because barnesville isnt the wonderful city that everyone thinks it is. ITs boring. Barnesville is a horrible city. so yeah

What happened to separation between church and state??

#9.1 GOD will not fail you on 06/16/11 at 10:36 PM

I don't think it needs to be called separation of church and state . It would be better said, separation of church and politics . The state needs to be involved in church . If these officials would attend and follow God's will the world would probably not suffer near as bad as it is today .

Thank you for your time . This message paid for by the blessings of God .

Yes, I'm a moron.

Let's see....does he ever invite any christian democrats there???

Was Huckaby a Democrat?
Is Gingrich a Democrat?
Is Bachman a Democrat?

Does Benny not recall what JESUS did at the temple when it was being used for purposes other than WORSHIP...

#11 Levi Garrison on 06/16/11 at 07:32 PM

Let us properly set the stage. Newt Gingrich was only invited to Rock Springs Church under the conditions that it would be a fundraiser for Melba's Manor.. a maternity home for un-wed mothers. Whether political stepping or stomping, Christ works in mysterious ways through mysterious people. I know this from personal experience. Yes! Jesus is forgiving.. I praise him for it, I hope some of you do as well. Glory be to God!

#13 JESUS SAVES on 06/16/11 at 10:51 PM

Newt Gingrich is a man that is not perfect, just like you and I . He will stand before the Lord and answer for his life, just like you and I . So ask forgiveness for yourselves and pray for our leaders . God will not fail you !

#13.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/17/11 at 09:32 AM

It takes a true fool to doubt that God has a sense of humor. He called Jesus over in 2004 and said, "Son, do you believe that 'what was once' the great USA will really consider electing a "terrorist loving, unknown, un-American, abortion approving, Robin Hood imitator with a HUGE lock box for his embarrassing past, as President." Jesus replied, "Probably so Father, they re-elected Slick Willy Clinton."

If that happens I'll vote for
Obammy....

#15 GM on 06/17/11 at 08:42 AM

For all you Newt bashers, I'd be willing to bet that at some point in your life you have done something that you aren't to proud of.

Everyone is going to make mistakes including - YOU. The point is to learn from them. Mistakes are usually the best teacher.

#15.1 Anonymous on 06/17/11 at 11:54 AM

Well, it seems Newt doesn't know how to learn lessons.

In 1962, he married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher .In the spring of 1980, Gingrich left Battley after having an affair with Marianne Ginther. Six months after the divorce from Battley was final, Gingrich wed Marianne Ginther in 1981. In the mid-1990s, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek.

#16 Rankin Fyle on 06/17/11 at 09:10 AM

Newt & Callista Gingrich our first couple.
What a wonderful pairing to represent the Republican Party and its enduring legacy of family values and traditional marriage.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al Gore support Republican Presidential Candidates. He don't vote for Obama.

Obama gets an f. Too big to fail. Bad federal debt and Bad unemployment jobs. $14.3 trillion Economy and $842.3 billion unemployment. President Obama is bad. Gas prices, Food prices and Home prices. Oil spill. Tornadoes of 2011. Obama has Lost it. He don't fix the economy. Don't vote Obama 2012.

#18 RS Member on 06/17/11 at 03:30 PM

Benny...Why not invite Ron Paul?

#18.1 Ron on 06/17/11 at 05:45 PM

Because Benny boy is a sell out globalist...like Newt..(Mr.we need carbon taxes), Romeny...who has never seen a tax he didn't like. Now we are being told about Rick Perry...another globalist and Bilderberg member...oh please...Bring on a Ron Paul/Jesse Ventura ticket....lets get some things done.

#19 The MILF Ticket on 06/17/11 at 08:57 PM

#20 wdm on 06/17/11 at 11:33 PM

I may be wrong, but I have deducted that most of these immature 'anonymous' posters are the equivalent to old school prank callers. I guess today with all the caller id stuff, prank callers have now progressed to prank bloggers. These are just immature people who would never say any of these things in public. Just young, adolescent kids who are looking to get a rise out of someone else behind the mask of anonymity. They are all so young they haven't even lived enough to know that what comes around goes around. Keep on bashing boys...your time is coming.

#20.1 RS Member on 06/18/11 at 02:01 PM

No... I am actually a Rock Springs Member. I would like to hear Ron Paul's ideas about how a Government should be run. Newt would say ANYTHING to get elected, just like Obama did. The Republicans and Democrats have lost touch with the people. Just look at how far down this great nation has slipped under their control. Examine the Constitution and see how BOTH parties have eroded away at it. If you cannot see that both parties are in for the lobbyist and special interest groups, while forgetting about the working class...then sir, you are blind.

#20.1.1 wdm on 06/20/11 at 09:52 PM

If you are what you say you are then why are you on this blog asking your question instead of at the church office asking your preacher this question directly. Do you think the preacher is going to answer you through this website? And if you really want to know what Ron Paul thinks about how a government should be run, it isn't real hard information to acquire when you have a computer with internet access.

#20.1.1.1 Anonymous on 06/22/11 at 03:47 PM

There is a difference between reading about someone's ideas and actually hearing them speak live.

#20.1.1.1.1 wdm on 06/22/11 at 08:17 PM

Go to youtube.com. It's free. I actually voted for Ron Paul in the 1988 presidential election. He is a good guy with actual ideas on how to better America. But I also like Newt because he is the only candidate in the field who will spank Obama in the debates. And you have to know, the reason the big liberal media is covering the 'in's and out's' of Newt's campaign so closely is because they do know he will beat Obama. Just for the record, the same thing that is happening to Newt's campaign now has happened to other presidential candidates campaigns. John McCain last election and Reagan prior to that.

#20.1.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 06/23/11 at 07:12 PM

I beg to differ with you -- all polls indicate that ole Newt wouldn't stand a chance. I believe that the voters in America have a little more intelligence that to vote for Newt.

I hope Rock Springs hasn't put all its eggs in his basket!!

I'm glad he's not a contender. I'd vote for obama before newt!!
