Being Americans, we prosecute wars to win them, not to have reasonable response, not to have appropriate levels of retaliation. Our theory is you start bombing our cities we're going to defeat you and make it impossible.

More quotes by Newt Gingrich
My fine friends who are perfectionists, each in their own world where they are petty dictators, could write a perfect bill. Those of us who have grown up and matured...understand that we have to work together on the big issues.
Newt Gingrich
Iran - the world's leading sponsor of terrorism - is close to having nuclear weapons.
Newt Gingrich
Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
Newt Gingrich
The national media are doing everything they can to suppress bad news about Hillary Clinton and everything they can to maximize bad news about Donald Trump.
Newt Gingrich
What is the primary purpose of a political leader? To build a majority. If voters care about parking lots, then talk about parking lots.
Newt Gingrich
Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington. We would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There's no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.
Newt Gingrich
And by the way I don't object if people want to attack me, that's their right. All I'm suggesting that it's not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.
Newt Gingrich
It may just be because I get homesick, but I have concluded Washington's cherry blossoms are just plain overrated.
Newt Gingrich
I'm a little tired of people who have very big moral positions and very small power in reality.
Newt Gingrich
Personal responsibility extends to the purchase of health insurance. Citizens should not be able to cheat their neighbors by not buying insurance, particularly when they can afford it, and expect others to pay for their care when they need it.
Newt Gingrich
Every president developed his own style. You know that we don't recruit them to a certain standard.
Newt Gingrich
Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works.
Newt Gingrich
I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.
Newt Gingrich
Trump is trying to do a lot of really big things. And he's actually getting a lot of big things done.
Newt Gingrich
Indicate which principles you support regarding affirmative action and discrimination. 1. The federal government should discontinue affirmative action programs. 2. The federal government should prosecute cases of discrimination in the public sector. 3. The federal government should prosecute cases of discrimination in the private sector.
Newt Gingrich
The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.
Newt Gingrich
If under the pressure of Washington Donald Trump starts dissembling and saying things that aren't true, he'll decay as much as Obama did well on that.
Newt Gingrich
A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about.
Newt Gingrich
Maybe Governor Romney in the spirit of openness should tell us how much money he's made off of how many households that have been foreclosed by his investments.
Newt Gingrich
Remember, most of the bureaucrats voted for Hillary Clinton. Most of the bureaucrats deeply dislike what Trump is trying to accomplish, and most of the bureaucrats think they can't be fired, so they can outlast you.
Newt Gingrich
