“Gingrich’s problems have been based in character and the need to be liked.”

Eh. the need to be thought smart maybe. Frequently when I see Gingrich I’m reminded of Arnold Horshack sitting in the front of the room with his arm extended high saying “OO OO... OO OO...”

“why slightly crazed people make better leaders in times of great crisis than stable people do”

RP2012 - No one is crazier.

Amazing what people will overlook when thier a## is on fire after following the appeasers. One reaches for the difficult one, the one they called uncompromising, the one without the look, the angry one who speaks the truth when no on else does.

Romney will win if the coming Newt implosion happens during the primary and Mitt is our last chance to prevent Ron Paul from becoming our surrenderer-in-chief. But I sure would prefer a different option. For certainly we will be in a much worse position if Newt gets the nomination and then suddenly decides to mandate carbon credits, while lunching with Nancy Pelosi on a park bench.

What a silly string of non-sequiters and false assumtions. Does this guy really get paid to write?

We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with ‘Blood For Oil’ to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups’ table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.

I’m not voting for Gingrich, and here’s why:

Did General George Washington ever surrender to the British armies?

Do you think that if he had that America would have survived?

Now, does the Tea Party surrender to RINOs?

Do you think that if it does that America will survive?

Think about it.

Which is why, if you truly care about this nation--especially if you live in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina, I implore you to take this decision seriously.

Everyone else has been found wanting and Kevin doesn't even have the guts to suggest an alternative.

I still believe Obama's going to win regardless of the patsy put forth next November, the GOP might as well go for Newt. It can be argued both he and Romney need to be kept on the reservation but Newt has fought, he has that in him, whereas Romney's no fighter.

This race did not draw out the kind of candidate I think we needed most.

“Is Gingrich Churchill?”

Yes he is and I’m gonna be MVP of this year’s Super Bowl. We can all dream.

The Churchill - Gingrich comparison has been discussed on prior threads. Several writers have noted the similarities of their journeys of early success and ignominious time spent in political exile.

The comparisons have not included their beginnings i.e. Churchill’s aristocracy, military adventures, Parliamentary victories vs. Gingrich’s modest childhood and professorial accomplishment which contrast strength of will and character.

Their life stories are both compelling for the perilous times in which they lived and how their countrymen looked to Churchill for inspiration and now to Newt for common sense and purpose.

This guy thinks that Mitt Romney is our best hope at keeping Ron Paul from becoming President.

Is this kind of alternative reality?

Is anybody else here as mystified as me on how it came to choosing between the two abject weakest leaders of the GOP field?

I don't know how mystified I am about it but I am certainly disgusted.

Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.

Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.

Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!

Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

Look to my tagline. If Obama can beat Newt then he can beat Romney too. Newt will be more interesting.

"Ultimately I believe that's where the comparisons end. Gingrich's problems have been based in character and the need to be liked. Churchill's problems were primarily of temperament and personality."

Best sentence in the article. Churchill's main shortcoming was intemperance. Newt's is either disloyalty (in more than just the marital sense) or hedonism. Both characters, but fairly different in the content of their character.

As a Newt supporter, I feel no need to compare him to Churchill or any of the other titans of world history.

He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like me.

I don't feel any need to compare him to Washington, Truman, William Wallace, Patton, Davy Crockett, or Obi-Wan Kenobi, as do the adherents of another one-time wouldbe candidate.

Getting tired of the journalists underestimating Gingrich. Americans are STARVED for an intelligent candidate. Newt remained cool last night despite the tough questions on marriage, infidelity, etc. He answered honestly.
Yes, Newt will beat Obama. Newt is the guy Coulter, Rove and Noonan never thought would get above single digit polling numbers; he lacked money, he had too much baggage; he lacked organization; evangelicals and Tea Party folks would not endorse him..what happened? he is SOARING. He is a little Churchillian...I think of the lady telling Churchill that he was drunk and Winston answered back..”madam I may be drunk but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly” or something to that effect...lol. Do I think Newt would say that? no but would Newt shoot a stunner at a fellow debator that would almost be the equivalent of that statement? yes...he is a stun gun
