The Biblical quote contained above was lifted from various JFK speeches. Nice try Newtzie! Your bogus speech on colonizing the moon was also lifted from JFK's now-famous we're going to go to the moon speech.

JFK you ain't!

Gratuitous Biblical quotation is something I would expect from a "drowning man grasping at straws."

I just..... .... I can't....

(Sigh)- very misleading heading from Huffington Post.

I am no fan of Newt, but Newt did not say that the "Bible encourages my candidacy".

The quote he said was:
"I've stayed in the race because I think that Proverbs is right ... 'without vision, people perish,'" the GOP presidential candidate said, paraphrasing Proverbs 29:18.

You are absolutely right. Thus, the nature of doublespeak.

Gingrich told the hundreds gathered Thursday inside a chapel at Judson University in Elgin that it is important to have a leader with "big ideas."

Big Ideas? - please enumerate!
No, Newtzie... besides turning school children into janitors! $2.50/gallon gasoline? - how 'bout the perpetual motion machine? Don't forget the beach property in Utah!

Newt does have big ideas.

But you never know from one month to the next what they are.

Actually that's a great goal -- once the debt's down under like $2tn.

Huh? According to every republican candidate, the bible and god told them to run... lol. This is nothing new lol. They all think they are commanded by some mysterious made up being up in the skies. It's pretty delusional.

Romney hasn't said that, and Gingrich hasn't either. Santorum is the only one left who's said anything like that. You wouldn't get Paul to say that for a billion dollars.
