Gingrich is totally, absolutely unelectable. I’d be quite surprised if Newt didn’t realize that.
Is he angling for a cabinet post?
New purchases?? Does that include a house?? A plane ticket? A dog? My health care supplement? My car insurance? etc, etc...
That’s nice, Newt. No go sit on the sofa and wait for your date.
Go away, Newt. Maybe Didi “Scuzzyfuzzy” will still take your calls.
Why do I like 9% and getting rid of the payroll tax better than 20% and keeping the payroll tax?
It’s a toughie, I know.
I am beginning to like Newt more and more. As of today I am leaning towards supporting Newt.
Newt is the grownup in the room. He has far more knowledge, experience, and wisdom than the rest of the field combined.
He gets my vote. The rest are pretenders.
Newt and Perry have some very similar ideas going on...both are good candidates for me.
Newt probably has less baggage than Perry and his plan looks to be better than Perry’s.
Poor Newt, even though he makes more sense and has more experience, the tea party wing and others will never get past his marriage history. Then again Romney has a similar problem.
“As of today I am leaning towards supporting Newt.”
I’m as sure as I can be that there aren’t enough people like you for Newt to get any traction.
Assuming Newt could win the nomination, (and he couldn’t), he’d get trashed in a general election.
Newt is the face of the opposition to Clinton, and a lot of independents still like Clinton. Newt’s finances and the early campaign missteps are documented. Global Warming, and more... Not A Chance.
Yeah, I've always been impressed by his wise moves.../sarc.
I still don’t like the idea of an “optional” flat tax, but Newt’s plan appeals to me more than Perry’s. I could support this if he won the nomination.
If Cain and Gingrich ran together, I wonder how their combined economic plan would look. I assume there would be at least a few changes regardless of who was on top of the ticket.
I prefer Paul’s plan. Eliminate the IRS. Take the income tax rate to zero.
Why start negotiating from 20% when you can stat at 0%
Shame on Repubs; IMHO.
I think Paul’s plan (eliminating the IRS) is good, but I don’t like much else about him.
I’d rather go to a Fair Tax where income tax got dropped altogether, but at the same time, I think we need somebody intelligent and experienced enough to know that there is life beyond the US tax system.
I started off thinking that Gingrich had no chance, but the more I hear, the more I like. He’s not a pie in the sky non-poitician populist (like Cain), but he’s also not just a successful US governor (like Perry) and he seems to realize the place of the US in world history and world events. In fact, he’s the only one who seems to get it.
Hey Newt, first tell us how to fix the wreckage from the housing bubble that you helped create...crickets.
Maybe even a new parachute so you can take a flying leap.
that’s how me and many of my friends are now feeling. with Palin dropping out and the other candidates not having the boldness/strength/conservative bonfides, I’m leaning heavily towards Newt.
I really didn’t like his GW pitch nor his attack on the tea party about scuzzy fava, but he apologized for the latter and he’s knocking GW now. and he’s WAY better than Romney.
