From National Review On-line via The Conservative TreeHouse.
Herman Cain and Newt will debate in a "modified" Lincoln-Douglas Debate focusing on fiscal issues. It's going to take place near Houston on November 5th. This is exactly what I have wanted to happen in this primary process. Education on how and why Capitalism and Free Markets work. Education on how Conservatism and Liberty affect our everyday lives. Education on how the Founding Fathers thru the Constitution created a style of government that unleashed American ingenuity and created the most prosperous and generous nation on earth in history.
Newt is a brilliant historian and teacher. Cain is a real life entrepreneur and an example of the American dream. The debate will focus on fiscal issues and how they affect entitlements. We all know that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are broken and will/are bankrupting this country. Both Newt and Cain offer different solutions to these problems, but both of them are rooted in Conservatism and the belief that individuals know better than government. I have no doubt that they will both use this event as an opportunity to not only persuade us on why their solutions will be best but also contrast them with the disastrous policies of the oppressive leftists that have been implemented by big government DemonRats with the help of inside-the-beltway Republicans.
I believe the election of 2012 is the most important of our lifetime and just the beginning of restoring our great country to it's founding principles. In order to succeed, we need to educate ourselves and our friends and family on how and why Constitutional government is the answer to a strong economy and a strong America. This debate between Newt and Cain will be a big part of that.

Gotta Love Newt!
Newt is an example of why I want lots of candidates for the Republican nomination. Competition is a good thing. I want candidates to spell out their ideas and convince us, the voters, about why their ideas will be best for America. Each candidate brings good and bad to the table. Newt is a brilliant historian and legislator. I don't agree with him on everything, but what he brings to the conversation is important.
Last night during the Republican debate, Newt was awesome. He took it right to the left stream media and called them out on their mission to protect BO/BS by getting Republicans to fight among themselves.
He also stated that if BO/BS really cared about Americans and jobs, he'd walk into his campaign ~I mean jobs/Joint Session~ speech tonight and ask for the repeal of Hellcare.
He did the same to Chris Wallace during the Iowa Fox Debate; excoriated him for his gotcha questions.
Newt also shined in the Palmetto Freedom Forum. H/T Gingrichforpres.
Here's Newt on American Exceptionalism.
"Power comes from directly from God to each one of you. You are personally sovereign. So you are always a citizen, never a subject."
Here's Newt on Immigration.
We want to be a melting pot, We want you to come to America to be American. "English should be the official language of government."
Here's Newt on Judicial Tyranny.
"There's a formal way to amend the Constitution. It's a very complicated process." The idea that "by a 5-4 vote, appointed lawyers can be the equivalent of a a Constitutional Convention is an absurdity."
"The Supreme Court is Supreme in the judicial branch and the judicial branch is one of the three branches. It's the third branch mentioned in the Constitution." and in the Federalist Papers, "Alexander Hamiliton says explicitly, 'it will be the weakest of the three branches.'"
Newt on jobs and his Prosperity Plan.
Detroit is an example of what bad government policies can do to America.
His plan;
Repeal Dodd-Frank
Replace EPA with Environmental Solutions Agency
Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley Act
21st Century FDA
On his campaign site, he discusses the importance of other changes including Repeal of Hellcare, the Community Redevelopment Act and breaking up Fannie and Freddie.
His Tax Policy:
Not tax increases in 2013
0 capital gains tax
12.5% corporate tax rate
100% expensing for businesses
Abolish death tax
On his campaign site, he also outlines his plan for entitlement, tax, balancing the budget and energy policy.
I think Newt is a brilliant ideas man. He is not my top choice for POTUS because of personal baggage and other issues, but if he is can influence the debate and teach America Constitutional principles, then I look forward to seeing him in the future debates.
