Gingrich, who wore a purple and gold tie, said he “changes ties” but “doesn’t change his policies.”
During his 15-minute speech, Gingrich focused on energy policy and gas prices.
“Obama can’t buy enough ads to convince me that gas is cheap,” he said. “We do not want any American president to bow to a Saudi king.”
Thursday’s forum and subsequent straw poll was hosted by the LSU College Republicans and sponsored by the Baton Rouge Tea Party to rally supporters behind Republican candidates before Saturday’s state primary."......Source

I watched that forum and the crowd was very enthusiastic. They seemed to have a respect for NEWT that is sorely missing in the other candidates. Praying for NEWT.
Newt is a natural fit for the job. It will take the Speaker’s clarity, focus, determination and know-how to shake up and roll back entrenched Big Government. He is a man who sees American’s exceptionalism and loves his country.
Mitt. It’s time you quit!
Your credibility isn’t worth spit.
RINOs, the “Establishment”, and Democrats all agree,
But in the General Election, to Obama they’ll flee.
Against Obama, liberals and moderates know you’ll lose.
But conservatives, Romney they’ll never choose.
Mitt, our loyalty you can’t buy.
Back to Massachusetts, you’d better fly.
Just like Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, and John McCain,
Nominee Willard Mitt Romney will result in the same.
As a Governor, your record isn’t that great.
Out of 50 states, your popularity was number 48.
Your experience, the “Establishment” types tout.
Defending federal bailouts and FDIC loan forgiveness will find you out.
Democrats and RINOs cower from their liberal wives,
Supporting Romney with nothing but lies.
In 1994 Ted Kennedy showed Willard to be a great bane,
With Mitt’s Bain, and Bain Capital, Obama will do the same.
Damon Corp, with Romney paid $119 million in a fine.
Yet Willard says, for his leadership, it’s time.
He claims jobs he can create and taxes he can lower,
47th out of 50 in growth he rates. Can it get any slower?
$740.5 million dollars a year, fees and taxes under Mitt increased.
Will the half-truths and lies from Romney ever cease?
For Liberty and Freedom, we don’t need “Flakes”,
But Romney says Healthcare responsibilities belong to the States.
Conservatives stand for “Self-responsibility, Self-accountability, and Self-reliance.”
But against these things, Willard’s actions scream in defiance.
“Establishment Republicans” thinks Romney can help take back the Senate,
But they know that for President, Mitt can NOT win it.
Like everything the “Establishment Republicans” try to do,
It leads to failure, and we get the bill, as well as the screw.
In their corruption, little change do they seek,
They don’t want our Freedom to peak.
Their craving for power has pushed their bravery,
To ignore our Constitution, and sell us into economical slavery.
So Willard, don’t lecture us on the need for “patience” and “compromise”.
Romney, be selfless. Conservatism is on the rise.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, isn’t what we desire.
You let them rewrite the language. Where’s your fire?
Romney, they accuse us falsely, and you do little.
Where’s your response, or can you only twiddle?
Mitt, you don’t have what it takes to lead.
So with you I plead.
Do you really want to go from Obama-care to Romney-care?
With you, this nation will pull out its hair!
Go somewhere and quietly think … and sit.
“Know your own limitations!” Mitt. It’s time you quit!
His sleeves are rolled up and ready for work! He may be ‘Speaker’ but he is also a ‘Doer’.
Newt is the ‘complete package’ to hold the office of President, there is no doubt about it.
He’s been through the wringer and is still standing strong. The other 3 would have folded under the same pressure. He is the only answer for our country.I respect him deeply. Go NEWT.
Go Newt!
every candiate I have ever supported has lost so I’m supporting Romney now. Go Romney! You can do it!
Yep.
Go Newt!
I;m so tired of this.
At this point, its MANIFESTLY apparent that the MAJORITY of Republicans:
a) DON’T want Romney, and
b) Can’t decide WHO they want.
Maybe it should go to the convention and get settled there.
Too bad we can;t move the convention back to early July.
I’m absolutely convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him slinking back to his Chicago doghouse with his tail between his legs. Newt has plenty of DC experience as Speaker, executive ability from his many enterprises, and a silver tongue that’s razor sharp! He’s fast on his feet, delivers it straight up with no hemming and hawing, and is often witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive and as we’ve seen recently, Newt is able to put into words what the vast majority of Americans really believe. His fevered brain also has plenty of ideas for making government work better for taxpayers. Is Newt pure as new-driven snow? No - none of the presidential candidates are in line for sainthood. Whatever Newt’s “baggage”, it pales next to Obama’s habitual lying and outright corruption - and unlike Obama, Newt is 100% American! Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: send him to DC and he’ll “Get ‘er done” for all of us. Newt has “Been there, done that! Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon!
I am damn mad at what Obama and his fawning bootlickers have stolen from us - you should be too - and I want someone to represent me! Newt Gingrich is that man! Sic ‘im, Newt!
B-U-M-P!
Since when did you resort to name calling CW?
Not very nice of you.
RICK SANTORUM FOR PRESIDENT!
Whether or not we do depends on the voters taking time to do their own research and going to the poll.

I don't even know what a candi-bot is G. Do you? You're so touchy. Go have a cup of tea.
YES, GO NEWT. He is the ONLY candidate that I can imagine standing up not only to American values but to other tyrant’s around the WORLD. He will guide those who now get Obama Money each month and get them out to work and know what it is to be something and an American.
Romney and Santorium are milk toast and cannot stand firm on issues. They change on issues as much as they change jeans and sweater vests. NEWT looks Presidential, talks Presidential, has implemented his goals in Congress Presidential...basically is a proven LEADER- which many have forgotten what a LEADER does.
He got my money yesterday and I’m getting a sticker for the car!! NEWT, ride the WEST winning it for sound mind and values!!!!
Romney really, really worries me. A victory for Romney is a victory for the GOP Liberal RINO establishment.
..and I'll promise to do the same for Newt.
How about that?
