I Endorse Newt Gingrich
All Voices ^ | January 28, 2012 | R.G. Yoho

Posted on 01/28/2012 5:32:59 AM PST by Clintons-B-Gone

Realizing that most Americans certainly won’t care what I think, nevertheless, I am hereby endorsing Newt Gingrich for President.

Of the remaining candidates for the Republican nomination, Gingrich is the only one who will fight to restore our country with the same degree of passion he gives to winning the presidency.

This past week, I have been appalled at the Republican Establishment’s coordinated attacks on former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Their “schlock and awe” campaign has been unkind, unfair, untrue, and unprincipled.

Since his victory in South Carolina, the Republican Establishment has been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Newt.

That rang a bell with me. Of all the candidates, only Newt and Ron Paul seem to have any fire in their bellies.

Amen to that. And I discovered a couple this week I will never vote for in fact this may be the last general election that I even bother to vote GOP in national race for Presidency. The establishment is merely a slower route to the demise that Obama is bringing us...

If Newt would have had that fire in his belly in the two FL Debates, this thing would be over now. But, sad to say, he didn’t. Now, as my granny used to say, we’re in a mell of a hess.

I voted for Santorum here in SC but my state picked Newt—so as a 10th Amendment loving state patriot I am now for Newt.

Newt has been a philosophical gadfly all his life but I sincerely believe he will resist his intellectually adventurous curious nature and bind himself to the boring, restrictive and simple instructions of the US Constitution should he become president.

Glenn Beck be damned!!!

I don't think we want to "replace them" ~ more like "purge them".

Most of the problem drives from the idea that it's always a good idea to use professional campaign management types.Theoretically these people can work for Republicans or Democrats and still do the same job ~ winning elections.

In the long run this tends to displace party stalwarts with untrustworthy apparatchiks ~ which where we are today. These guys who WORK FOR ROMNEY are now on everyone's staff, and they all seem to have girlfriends in the MSM.

great point.
The biggest downside to Newt is that he’s almost always at 30,000 feet and doesn’t really consider the details. Back when he was speaker, he was an awful game-day manager, always second guessing others that tried to fill in the blanks that the his brilliant “bigger picture” ideas usually leave. This is why he has so many detractors.
When he follows things through, he comes across much better and clearer, see “Contract with America”..

The constitution is a simple document and should be treated as such and I hope Newt does this.

If the RINO is the nominee...it’s third party time.

Good comment.

Hopefully that intellectual curiosity will wonder how to restore those constitutional instructions.

Could not agree with you more...you have said what I feel. It has cemented my vote for Newt.

Virgil Fox, who surprisingly played classical organ at the “Rock Temple” of Filmore East in 1970 said that Bach and Shakespeare had “felt” everything.
In the political sense Newt has “felt” everything and the most clever notions attract him more than the efficacious ones—the ones where he goes slumming and winning in.

Like Rush, Newt must tie half his brain behind his back to make it fair AND successful.

The Constitution is like the speed of light—there is no “beyond it” and if Newt can avoid beckoning delusions of warp speed and do his best in real space and time impulse drive he could be another Reagan.

If Santorum would drop out, Newt would win in a landslide.

You don’t want a micro manager at the helm. YOu want a visionary. Broad strokes. Then get the people around you who share that vision. I think it’s called the Master Mind principle.

ROmney and Obama are tinkerers. THey are control freaks. They have no vision, no original thought.

Santorum is a good and decent man, but he also is playing from the tired scripted playbook of other candidates.

Rick, why are you still in this race? What is going on here.

Levin, Hannity etc. Tell the guy to quit now.

Things are desperate and it is getting late in the game. That said, we don't need a series of 'Hail Mary' passes, we need a good, solid, 4 yard per play ground game.

So you have a problem with vision.

I think it cool when “immature” musings are revisited—some of them have more value than old fart conventional “wisdom” in my book.

Reagan was an old toot with vision.
