A remarkably effective president with what, implementing cap’n’trade?
Bull.
That fat pudge ball doesn’t have the stones to overthrow a Thursday’s meeting of a Ladies Flower Club.
McCain without the POW creds. No thanks.
Right on! That is why I would never ever ever trust Newt - what he did after the Repubs gained the Congress in 1994 was a crime. Just read Tom Coburn’s “Breach of Trust.” Newt is smart, but he is 100% a collaborator with the enemy.
It doesn’t help our side when we have idiots like Sean Hannity sucking up to RINO’s like this, unwilling to ask him the “hard” questions!
Doubt me? Watch Hannity when he interviews the RINO Kings like McCain, Huckabee (sp), Newt, or Romney. Ever seen him challenge McCain in any meaningful way on McCain’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Stand (Amnesty)? I haven’t! He’s too buddy, buddy with these RINOs!

Here we go again! Dole, McCain, now Newt? LOL!! Yeah MSM, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me a third time? Whaaat, ya think I’m completely stupid? Fuggetboutit!
Oh, I agree completely, he’s been WAAAAY too malleable since he left Congress. He’s a TV star now. Which is another reason why I say unelectable. The right doesn’t trust him.
When I think of him I still think of the guy who drove the Contract...that’s why I said “Che.”
The Contract is another reason he’s unelectable. The left still hates him.
Have we forgotten? CHARACTER COUNTS.
My personal rejection of Newt as anything but a good speaker/writer is his treatment of Clnton. He used to say that when he was in Clinton's presence, he was charmed into giving into the Clinton charisma and could not hold firm to the convictions he went there with.
There is really something to ponder on that sociopath thing and his dropping of wives when they really need his support. When his support, which he vowed in the marriage lines, is needed, Newt fades and disappeaars.
Newt for President?-- NO! NOT! NEVER!

Rough childhood, mentally ill mom. Left mom and married woman just a couple years younger than the mentally ill mom. Sticks with her until she becomes ill. Picks another one. And so on.
Newt has his own mental issues, I believe; we don't need or want him leading anything, IMO.
I think even in Congress he just ran to the head of a movement, a moment in time, and claimed it as his own, and said the crowd was following him.
This is kind of proven in that he blew it after the contract, which if it was part of his genius, how come he became so stupid afterward?
Then he runs to Hillary for HillaryCare when he thought that socialist, leftist, big government act was going to be the next big thing.
The guy is rootless. Personally, politically, philosophically except to keep his ego in the burning lime lite. He is a white Al Sharpton.
The worst story about Newt is the one about how he sold Conservatives down the river.
Newt is a creep. I wish Hannity would stop promoting him on a his radio show. Sean show is almost unlistenable anymore.
None of this matters unless we allow the Left to pick for our side a straw man candidate for President.
I think he’s a non-entity. And he difinitely would be if Hannity would stop giving him a microphone.
That’s another way in which your Sharpton comparison fits.

i hope he does not run - we need to get behind one, strong, electable and truly conservative candidate. the alternative of four more years of obama and the wookie is simply terrifying!
Newt has two problems: His past personal history and his looks.
You can’t deny that a lot of people vote for someone who “looks like a President”. No matter how smart you are that is a hurdle that most wannabe Presidents simply can’t overcome.
In politics, as in the corporate world, size matters ie. a commanding presence. And a handsome face will usually win out over an ugly or average mug.
Newt should stay out of the race and concentrate on being available for an important advisory post where his intelligence will be sorely needed. He is a great ‘idea’ man and should recognize his strengths and limitations.
