Great video of Newt, damn I’m pissed that he didn’t run for president, talking about oil. Except for the last bit about the incredibly flexible theory of man-made global warming. I have to believe that he doesn’t really buy into that garbage. If he does then it invalidates the whole first part of the video.
Sign Newt’s petition for domestic oil exploration here.
Here’s Jim Cramer explaining how we should drill for oil here in America, if you can stand to listen to the dingbat Anne Curry who is reading the questions.
La verdad que I agree with much of what Newt Gingrich has to say, and I look up to him as a leader in the conservative movement back in the 90’s, but I find it odd that he’d be advocating for expanding domestic oil production while throwing in with the left on the myth of global warming. Almost seems like a kind of political schizophrenia. Just an observation, I guess.
Pero bueno, I applaud him for this new campaign push for domestic oil exploration. It’s about time we do it rather than depend on those anti-american dictatorships for our energy.

Political “schizophrenia” or “expediency”? Either way it sucks. I like Newt but this embrace of BS global warming is disappointing.
Henry, THANKS for giving this issue the attention it deserves.
I agree, it’s just really chocante to hear someone like Newt spouting the global warming propaganda. Still, if he gets congress to allow drilling NOW, that’s the main thing in my book. More nuclear plants would be good as well, but of course the GW wingnuts are against those, too.
You know, after watching the video again, it sounds like Newt is trying to convince the GW crowd to go along with him by pointing out the environmental benefits of nuclear and hydrogen. Spoken like a true politician (although he did make that disgusting commercial with Pelosi). I loved the idea of releasing some of the reserves to bring the price crashing down. After all, it’s there for emergencies; what the hell does Bush think this is, a picnic? I hope Newt starts a petition for that. Had to laugh when Cramer said *Look, I’m a conservationist, but enough is enough!* LOL.
