I finally did find a correct transcript (where else), and here’s the good stuff:
In the next few days, we’re going to develop the equivalent of the contract from 1994, except this is going to be a personal one between me and you, because I’m asking you to make me president and therefore, I have a personal responsibility. It’s going to come in two parts. Part one is conditional and requires your help. Part two, I can do if I win the election, without having to condition it.
Part one only works if you help me and we run a team campaign, which means, by the way, we have to replace Bill Nelson with a conservative.
But if you help us, and in addition to winning the presidency, we elect a Republican Senate and a Republican House, I will ask them on January 3rd to stay in office, and I will ask them to immediate pass the repeal of Obama-care.
I will ask them to immediately pass the repeal of the Dodd-Frank bill, which is killing housing, killing small business and killing independent banks.
And I will ask them to pass the repeal of Sarbanes- Oxley, which is crippling American businesses with no net profit.
And my goal is to have all three bills sitting there, waiting, so the minute I am sworn in, I can sign all three and we’re off to a pretty good opening morning.
(CROWD GOES NUTS–M)
Now those three promises are conditional. We have to win the Senate by a big enough margin to manage it and we have to increase our strength in the House. Help me do that, I’ll do those three.
Now let me tell you some things and we’re going to put this together in a way that you’ll be able to see in writing with my signature and you’ll be able to hold me accountable. There are a series of executive orders I can issue that the Congress can’t stop as long as they’re within the law. The very first executive order will abolish all of the White House czars as of that moment.
We will issue immediately an executive order on the same day. All of this is going to happen about two hours after the inaugural address.
OK? No point in hanging out and having fun. Before we get to go to the various balls that night, we’re going to have a work period. This is going to be a working presidency.
Now, I ask you: what’s not to like? And as I keep saying: unlike any of the other candidates out there, Newt has done this before.
Odd that this got so little coverage, and is so hard to find. I hope every conservative blogger (this doesn’t include you drowning-tank Romneyite flacks,by the way) gives this the exposure it needs, and deserves.
This is nothing short of a call to arms, for anyone who still considers themselves to be interested in a conservative, smaller-government, less-Federal-intrusion, less-tax-and-redistribute U.S. of A. -
Of course, it’s also an open declaration of war against the GOP “Elite” and their camp-followers, and the entirety of the Democrats and the Left (pardon the slight repetition, there) – but hey, one way or another, we’ve been coming to that for some time now.
This needs to be heard, as you say, as loudly and as frequently as possible from here on out…Let’s get on it, people.
Odd that this got so little coverage
Not really.
It may have something to do with the fact that the MSM prefers Mittens.
This is a clear demonstration both of Newt’s political acumen and his analysis of the root problem in America. He’s running on the economy, hanging that albatross around Obama’s and the Democrats’ necks. Don’t expect Romney to follow suit, or maybe you should – he’s flip-flopped before.
Newt didn’t mention three other things necessary for a cultural and economic turnaround, the rising police state infringing on individual liberty, the regulatory state strangling existing business and killing entrepreneurship in the cradle, and separating the too-big-to-fail investment houses from their banking operations. I’m all in favor of saving depositors’ accounts, but not Goldman Sachs’ partners’ shares.
