As someone who was once TRICKED into going to a damn ballet performance on my birthday, that piece of info would be enough to lose my vote if I wasn't already awake. I don't want a cent of my tax dollars anywhere near ballet. Don't even get me started on River Dancing..

Whoa, someone made you go to a ballet on your birthday? That's cold!

You mean "future ex-wife".

Does she know Michael Flatley is from Chicago http://youtu.be/X8eWtsDvHe8 ?

He was talking about the federal government giving money to state governments to spend on the arts.

Its no different, in essence, to feds spending directly. Still tax money.

Is that the guy who has to have sex between sets in order to perform?

Time to hit Romney, not Gingrich.

Had a friend whom was forced by his mother to get involved in ballet while He lived with her. We all used to rag Him about getting excited in his tights and over other lewd things. One night he was performing and a bunch of us went to watch Him perform one night. We were prepared to rag Him to death after the performance but that ended when We seen the response He got from the young women that watched the show... I don't know if ballet helped Him in life but it might have because He is now a doctor and I work in the oil field so whom is laughing now.

Time to hit Romney, not Gingrich.

Gotta hit both.

Guys that take up ballet are a special breed, and I respect them highly. Think about it...What kind of guy would put up with all the teasing, etc.? Truth be told, if they have ANY talent at all, they've pretty much got it made in the dance world. Ballerinas are a dime a dozen. A good strong male dancer can go just about anywhere he wants. I work in the ballet world, but NO, I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR NEWT.

And for the record, ballet is one of the most difficult arts of all, requiring strength, brains, coordination, stamina, and artistry. It's not as easy as they make it appear. ;)

Bump!

I respect Ballet, but anyone who suggests the government should fund it, is crazy.

[G-Wohl]

Be careful guys. This could definitely help him with female voters, who have thus far shunned the man because he's ... untrustworthy. We don't want him coming off as a man compassionately interested in the development of the arts (particularly ballet).
