Do you actually think Newt is the candidate to defeat socialism? Get real.
Newt is the McCain of 2012, a pasty to give us 4 more years of Obama.
Obama’s media will have fun destroying Newt with his baggage if he is the Going On Progressive party nominee.
Actually, if you want to draw comparisons to ‘08, Romney has become McCain and Gingrich has become Romney. It’s Mitt’s turn to be the next in line and Newt is trying to position himself as the conservative alternative.
Tell me, Mike, how do you propose to defeat the open socialist Willard Romney? Which other candidate is consistently within striking distance?
Romney has enough baggage to fill a passenger jet. He’s taken every position imaginable and, to this day, cannot speak without talking out of both sides of his mouth. The media will draw endless comparisons between Romneycare and Obamacare to paint him as a hypocrite, and Obama will proudly proclaim that Romneycare was his inspiration. Then there’s the matter of John Holdren, Obama’s maniacal science czar who used to work with Romney on environmental policy.
But above all else, the real problem with Romney’s candidacy is that he’s incapable of taking liberals to task because he’s afraid he’ll muss up his perfectly manicured hand. He’s a political featherweight in the very image of John McCain.
