Really? I never heard any other liberal saying that. Just my observation. He attacks mods to curry audience applause and backing. He wants to be a show horse.

Gingrich won't 'allow' moderators to silence crowd at future debates

That's some original analysis you got there. I haven't heard every lib this side of Keith Olbermann say that on the lib talking heads shows. For that matter, its been on every conservative show too. Including the big mouth "conservative" version of Maddow, Ann Coulter.

I thought he made some good points in criticizing the silent debate. I don't think we should go in that direction... maybe a few debates would be good, but definitely not all the debates.

It's such a freegin' side-show to have clowns hooting and hollering in the audience which only serves to have candidates busting their asses to pack the house with their peeps. Then instead of trying to win a debate with policy points, they try to win it with style points and slams. I'd rather see policies put out there rather than this WWE style entertainment stuff.

Forum moderators, no. Debate moderators, yes. There have been some debates this primary season that have been atrocious as far as moderators goes. When Newt attacks them and the media at large, after the debate there is this "well, I never!" attitude that permeates through the panel discussing the performance of the candidates. I have long been critical of the sanctimonious attitudes displayed at various levels of the press and television media.

South Carolina's crowd was appallingly bad. Newt's comments were more self-serving than anything.

Well, Paul likes to stick with policy..

Too bad he gets less than half the talking time as candidates like RoMNeY!!! (cue the white light and Heavenly choir music).

I don't like how Paul gets ignored by the media so much but unlike a lot of Paulites, I don't think of it as a conspiracy rather than how the media just dies for conflict and he is softer spoken and much more polite in his delivery than those other guys who you can just see the media pits questions to them that forces them to attack each other. I swear we need the League of Women Voters to take over the debates again so we can actually hear candidates say where they stand on policies and stuff.

They don't get taxed on the money they invest, they pay taxes on the profit from their investment, which has not been taxed before.

that is incorrect those monies are taxed at the point of collection at a nominal rate of 35% and then again at dispersal at a nominal rate of 15%.

Nice try:

"Financial experts have been cautioning investors that taking out a 401k loan is a bad idea due to idea that you will be subjected to double taxation on your funds. The theory is that you contribute to a 401k plan with funds that have not been taxed yet. Then, when you repay yourself the loan, you will have to do it with money that has already been taxed.

Consequently, when the money is withdrawn in retirement, it is taxed again. Meaning that you have lost a considerable amount of money to 401k double taxation. While this theory has been widely promoted, it doesn’t hold water, as the only thing subject to being double taxed is the interest that is required to be paid, which is minimal.

It may seem logical that the funds are double taxed, although if you examine it further the theory falls apart. In reality, any loan that you repay is paid with after-tax funds. While this is simple enough to understand, the confusion is with the first pre-tax contribution to your 401k.

As the first contribution was made with pre-tax funds, you will repay it with with after-tax money. You are technically paying taxes for funds that you already owe, however, you are not paying taxes twice. Everything essentially equals out by repaying your pre-tax funds with those that are after-tax."

REally? what happened to moving to that Christian safe-house known as Texas you were crowing about? I thought that was supposed to be your saving grace.
