Oh, please. There are no free rides. This media is lined up to destroy personally and permanently ALL our candidates to leave Romney as the last man standing a year from now. We are falling for the practice for the umpteenth time. Perry has been broiled in a couple of bloopers, while his ten year record of JOBS and fiscal bona fidis has been deep sixed. Cain is turned into nothing more than a motivational speaker thought to bre caught on the make. Bachman is the wild eyed crazy with machete mouth against other candidates. Palin is utterly stupid to think she ever could qualify as presidential material. Newt is an entertainment in debates, but has bags under his eyes, with personal and political baggage in his “has been” history. Ron Paul is a bonified nut with a record of nuttery and we conservatives are all rubes from the dark ages. This is the media doing, who will be delighted to divide us from one another to prop up Romney. From this method we should form an army together to combat it. Er, we did. Back in November, 2010. What happened to us that the media hasn’t had a hand in and the Romney bots on FR? We really should stick together against the splicing of information against our entire conservative tier of candidates. Yes, this would include Perry supporters and Cain supporters.
So sayeth state-controlled media, and so echoeth you.
Newt hasn’t a chance for any number of reasons. For the conservatives out there just remember how Newt played nice with Billy Jeff and Teddy k. and the witch Nancy Pelosi. He compromised away any chance of real change because he liked the publicity.
His personal life leaves such a bad after taste it isn’t even funny.
President of what??
Oh, I’d love to. I now live Duluth, (I should call myself Carl from Duluth), but sadly, I’m currently in Huntsville for a couple of weeks. I was in town yesterday and heard about it but had to leave last night to head over to ‘bama. Newt’s damn qualified, although I’d rather see him as Herman’s VP. I hope those two rise to the top and stay there.
And on inauguration day I hope you return to this post and enjoy the crow.
I know that he suggests another “16th amendment” giving the federal government the authority to levy sales taxes for the first time in history. He then suggests that this will “replace” existing sales taxes. Oh really?? How? Is he gonna wave a magic wand and repeal every state and local sales tax in the country?? Not. gonna. happen.
What will happen is that the federal government will have two probes rammed up our @ss for taxing purposes.
Newt bought into AGW hook line and sinker which shows that either his giant brain doesn’t function very well or he has been bought.
If Obama is defeated, I will gladly eat two helpings of crow. I just want Obama booted.
No, he never said that.
Running congress for 4 years is plenty of executive experience, Perry wouldn’t qualify as Newt or Cain’s valet.

How are those sites connected to Newt?
I just wanted to mention something that many people have forgotten: the quintessential "outsider" candidate was Jimmy Carter. Even though he had been a state legislator, governor of Georgia, and been running for one office or another for years, he presented himself as the outsider, populist, just a humble Evangelical peanut farmer with a cornpone accent who was going to "clean up Washington" by his very lack of connections and experience. He was very popular with conservative Democrats and even with a number of Republicans.
Actually, he didn't lack connections and experience, he was just incompetent. He thought his moral superiority (he had been opposed to segregation in the Lester Maddox South) was sufficient to carry the day, and in addition, he brought completely incompetent local buddies of his into the national government and then was surprised when things went haywire. His plans, of course, were ridiculous, and that was part of the reason for their failure, but another part was simply that he wasn't competent, he actually didn't know how national government or economy worked, and he had nobody around him who did. So he retired into a sort of gloomy moralizing where he lamented the US "malaise." The only good thing you could say about him is that he paved the way for Reagan, I guess.
But my point is that "being the outsider" is no guarantee of anything, and in fact can be a serious weakness. Reagan was the powerful governor of a powerful state that had an economy greater than that of many countries, and he had had to fight hard (and work with or against DC) to turn things around. So Reagan was not an outsider and actually did understand the details of things; he was not an innocent.
I want a GOPer to win this, and I want someone who is actually capable of accomplishing things after elected. I must add, in the interests of full disclosure, that there is no way I could EVER vote for Romney, and I really haven't picked a favorite among the others.
He might even teach Rick Perry how to debate, but he could never train him to be a conservative.
Let’s see: She had an affair with a married man, who then proceeded to dump his wife after she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
I think a case could be made that she’s worse than Moochelle.
LOL, I doubt it, here we have perry operatives planting non stories about Cains past and women, and a man that was doing the dirty with a hill staffer while speaker of the house and married, while bitching at clintoon for the same is the answer. That is a dang good one.
Unfortunately Newter isn’t stupid which means he knew exactly what he was doing when he bought into the global warming scam. I’m guessing he was invested in carbon trading or something.
Who can’t love a politician who will enrich himself off the backs of the people?
You are so right, RitaOK. Your #61 is so right.
But prepare to get pilloried here for speaking the truth.
