I am so sick of this, any of them can win if 51% of the people vote for them. Its that simple. If they can elect Clinton and Obama we can elect any republican in the current crop. Anyone saying this person can never win is not seeing history.
Newt isn’t my first, second, third, or fourth choice, but if he is all conservative Republicans can offer up besides Romney, I’ll vote for him. I’ll vote for anyone besides Obama.
Quite a pathetic choice we are left with.
Independents see Gingrich as part of what is wrong with Washington. Gingrich is unelectable.
Now that would be a big plus in my book. Shut it down!!
Incredible as it seems, we seem to be down to two choices:
Newt or Mitt.
So... To paraphrase the title of this article, Let’s get real:
Which one will be less of a disaster for the Republican Party, Newt or Mitt?
Given that choice, my preference is Newt.
Third party is ONLY an alternative if we have a strong enough candidate to actually WIN. Otherwise a third party just gives Obama four more years to finish destroying our once great country.
I like Newt. The trial by fire will show who’s mettle is battle proof
Now she's out of never was in the race, and all of a sudden we're supposed to panic over whether a candidate is "electable"??
Not buyin' it.
In some ways, he is right.
I don’t like Newt. Don’t trust him. But if it is between him and Rommney I will probably vote Newt.
But lets be honest. Neither is a good candidate.
Obama wets himself at the thought of having to debate Gingrich.
“By 1997, Gingrich was facing dozens of ethics charges. Although many of them were dismissed, he was fined an unprecedented $300,000 by the House Ethics Committee (still run by Republicans at the time), and admitted to giving “inaccurate, incomplete and unreliable statements were given to the committee.” Newt did this precisely during a time he was trying to impeach the president for perjury.”
I’ve pretty much given up trying to bring rationality to the discussion of who our 2012 nominee should be.
We have dumb, dumber, and dumbest being supported by the media. Our folks haven’t demonstrated the ability to hold Conservative tenets front and center. We’re poised to once again loft a Bush Sr, Dole, Bush, or McCain type figure to make sure a real conservative doesn’t get the nod in 2012.
Our side will never learn. The Left chooses our candidates, and we rubber stamp them. And then just for chuckles, some of our group tosses out glowing comments about someone who isn’t running, as if they may just save the day.
Lord have mercy...
The only problem with that is this... http://www.usdebtclock.org/2015-current-rates.html nearly 24 Trillion in debt in 2015 at current rates closer to 30 trillion by the time the next President will get sworn in.
Current revenue will not even be enough to pay the interest payments on this debt. The entitlement programs will effectively crash the dollar and it will end as the world reserve currency, once that happens the standard of living in this country will plummet, austerity will ensue, riots, chaos and complete collapse.
Unfortunately, the country will probably be able to hold it together until just about 2016 when the Republican takes charge. This will be carefully orchestrated by the Democrats so that the entire collapse can be effectively blamed on the Republican by the Liberals.
Bribery of the electorate over the last 70 years has had consequences and those chickens are quickly coming home to roost.
As for me I am a Cain supporter, the media has done a great job of destroying his character but the one thing that Cain had that no one else did, was a desire to radically change the structure of our debt. The 999 plan would have removed the power and control of money away from the politicians and put it back in the hands of the People that cannot be denied and yet not one of our nominees are even really talking about any radical changes to fix the debt, not one, who wants to be the one to take all the goodies away from the OWS crowd?
If we don't do something dramatic and radical not this debt committee crap that just picks around the edges but seriously radical change. Than the direction that we are headed and the trajectory of our debt means that we are toast. It doesn't take an MBA to figure this stuff out just digest the data it's all right at your fingertips..... www.usdebtclock.org
Newt’s comments in illegal aliens places him to the left of the other candidates. He is smart and knows full well the damage his policy would do could not, unlike Obamacare, be undone.
