Newt's Run For President

Newt Gingrich is an excellent example of a propagandist; right up there with Rush Limbaugh.  His list of words to use, such as pathetic, are excellent examples of "glittering generalities" and "name calling".  A good example of name calling is "Food Stamp Obama".  Demonizing, sloganizing, finger pointing, Big Lies, labeling, are all ploys which he uses constantly.  Nothing comes out of his mouth which is not propaganda.

His main strategy is immediately to counter attack any attack on him.  Usually attacking, demonizing, the messenger, who questions or otherwise would discredit his words, actions, or positions.  He is very good at stirring up emotions in his audience.  Emotions that would favor him.  He keeps his message simple and short; unlike Obama who goes to some length to "explain".  The audience tends to "tune out" when someone goes on and on about their ideas.  Gingrich uses many "virtue" words, such as "freedom", "liberty", "American people", etc.  Everyone has their own "interpretation" of such words.  "Patriotism" has a general meaning to everyone, but is acted out in different ways by different "patriots".  One mans "patriot" may mean another mans criminal for instance. 

Who would you trust--someone who makes an effort to fully inform constituents, or someone who uses ploys, misinformation, distorting facts to mislead constituents?  Both Obama and Gingrich have backgrounds known to the public.  Which one of the two has previously had ethical and moral issues?  Which one continually lies?  Which one is a hypocrite?
