Newt Is the Problem

National Review ^ | December 12, 2011 | Avril Roy

[Steelfish]

Called Paul Ryan's "Path to Prosperity, the boldest set of entitlement reforms as "right-wing social engineering"!!!!!

[napscoordinator]

Bachmann 2012!!!!! Santorum as VP.

[heiss]

at least Newt is supporting legalizing illegals (who apparently are law-abiding citizens). That sure is bold.

[Servant of the Cross]

Newt Is the Problem ... for Mitt. [and that's a good thing!]

[Steelfish]

Not if Newt is unelectable.

[Jonty30]

Can’t we just re-elect Obama, just so we can get along?

sarc

[Dr. Sivana]

When NR-types endorse the enabler of Romney-care, I find ALL of these types of arguments disingenuous. Come out for Perry or Bachmann. But if we must have a big government guy, I’ll take Newt over Romney, if that’s all that’s on the menu.

Newt never attendd a NARAL fund-raiser, not even in his Rockefeller Republican days.

[Revolting cat!]

Yes, he is the problem for the FRantic Newt-Bashers here, who refuse identify their favorite candidate (Paul?)

(Already posted.)

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I think people are missing one vital point. Romney comes across as smarmy and patronizing. It's almost as though he doesn't relate well to humans and feels the need to put on a theater act when in public.

It doesn't seem to hurt him in urban settings but it sets off alarm bells in flyover country.

[Dr. Sivana]

Not if Newt is unelectable.

Why does the MAJORITY of movement Republicans always whave to kowtow to the Establishment crowd?

NO. ROMNEYS. EVER.

If Romney gets the nomination, the Republican Party will be in shambles as a majority will be UTTERLY unrepresented.

If the Establishment was so afraid of Gingrich, they should not have helped tear down Cain and Bachmann and Perry.

NO Nelson Rockefellers. No Gerald Fords. No Bob Doles. No John McCains.

No more Establishment losers.

[Servant of the Cross]

Of course he is electable. That’s a primary reason he’s the frontrunner.

[ncalburt]

You nailed it.
All these concerned stealth Paul butters are
Playing the Non stop trashing again .
Ron Paul the Jew hating 9-11 truther -Blame America for 9-11 vile crazy.

[org.whodat]

Yes a different name for amnesty but still the same act. Newt supports amnesty but you are free to make up any flowery name you wish.

[old school]

Gingrich is no more unelectable than Romney. There, simply, is no right or wrong position regarding anyone’s choice of candidate. I know that there are legions of partisans desirous of influencing our choiices in this regard but it’s all Bullshit! Of relevance is the piss-poor performance of that bumbling marxist in the Whitehouse vis a vis our liberty and and our economic well-being. Any of the Republicans contesting for the Presidency could beat an abject failure, the likes of which we have never seen! Let’s get freakin’ real!

Am wondering if Soros has ownership of National Review all of a sudden.

[Servant of the Cross]

Nah. They do have an inordinate number of writers in the tank for Mitty though.

[umgud]

I’m not a Newt fan and am sorry it’s come down to him or Romney, but I’ll get behind Newt anyday over Romney... Just don’t ask me to be happy about it. BTW, I’m not a Ron Paul supporter.

Newt Is the Problem ... for Mitt. [and that's a good thing!]

"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, "just men who will rule in the fear of God." The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws."-- Noah Webster

[Steelfish]

Agree- but Newt is establishment too. Read the full article.

[Steelfish]

So was McCain and Dole

[Manic_Episode]

I would sure feel better about Newt than I did about McCain.

That crap sandwich was only able to be washed down by Palin.

I wish people liked the true conservative Bachmann.

[rhombus]

I feel your frustration. We're not a bunch of pathetic victims of RINOs, establishment Republicans, 1 per-centers or whatever other class envy phrase we want to use to mask our own demons. Some want to die on their swords. Let them. “No ba$tard ever won a war by dying for his country.” Vote for the candidate you think has the best chance of making that other ba$tard lose the only election that matters. I've voted in every presidential election since 1976. Next year, I'll be voting for the GOP candidate.

“On Monday, we would say we’re not going to give a $500 child tax credit to people who don’t have tax liabilities,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) to National Review’s Brian Bolduc. “On Wednesday, he’d meet with President Clinton, and that position would change.” Newt has displayed egregious unreliability on the issues with the highest stakes.

Grahamnesty criticizing Newt for being unreliable?

Unhinged Chris Matthews Shrieks:'Deadly,' Satanic Newt Gingrich Is a 'Political Killer'

Funny, I don't remember him saying this about McCain or Dole.

[Diogenesis]

NRO is a paid pimping service -- like Politico.
Why in the world would they PUSH a failed governor who was dog abuser?

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly - they may, in fact, be illegal. Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon. "An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch? - Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip - "Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog,".. Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for"

---

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon. Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. [like the citizens under Romney's RomneyCARE, etc.?] "

---

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway."

"Story about dog on car roof comes back to bite Romney - 200 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty"

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

Barf is spelled BARF, not bold.

[noprogs]

NOOT is just a symptom of why the GOP is called the Stupid Party.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “If the Establishment was so afraid of Gingrich...” <<

.
They’re not. - They love his socialist surrendering ass; they just love Mutt more.

[Gator113]

President Newt Gingrich....... get used to the idea, it’s going to happen.

[editor-surveyor]

Noot is the Mediots’ frontrunner, not the voter’s.
.

[hosepipe]

[ Bachmann 2012!!!!! Santorum as VP. ]

I agreed but America don’t want a conservative President..
America wants some form of socialism.. YES.. even republicans..

America doesn’t even know democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters..
“Democracy” has become a “holy word”.. try telling someone democracy is idiocy..
Most americans are socialists..

[editor-surveyor]

Holding another clown posse convention?

Noot is unacceptable to conservatives; only you clown posse sycophants can stand him.

[Ranjit]

He will loose by a landslide. There will not be more than 3 debates and they will not allow gingrich to dominate. They will make sure to show a white old man against obama. Social conservatives will not turn out for gingrich. Atleast for romney, few moderates will show up. Bottom line, I have to really think hard to spend lot of time canvassing my precincts. If newt is the candidate, Republicans will loose North Carolina. I can guarantee you !

[eyedigress]

Lindsay Graham doesn’t like Newt, well hells bells thats all it takes...............

[editor-surveyor]

Noot is McCain times 3.

[Servant of the Cross]

Loose lips sink ships.

[editor-surveyor]

Obama could beat Noot like a drum.

[editor-surveyor]

Obama could beat Noot like a drum.

[dog breath]

I could never vote for Mitt Romney and neither can many others, if he is the candidate Obama gets 4 more years. Newt is a long shot but at least a shot.

[Peter from Rutland]

Establishment Republicans for $200, Alex.

[Servant of the Cross]

I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.

[loboinok]

I certainly hope you are not using Chris Matthews as a standard of measure!

[Servant of the Cross]

We both know that Noah Webster is rolling in his grave right now.

[South40]

Can you spot the pro-ILLEGAL alien RINO?

[editor-surveyor]

Noot isn’t a one eyed fatman; he’s a one trick socialist surrender pony.

[ilgipper]

What makes Newt unelectable. He is better at articulating the opposing vision of Obama (ie the majority views on almost every issue) than anyone else in the field. He also has a tremendous experience building a national majority. Yes, we know he has warts, but he has a lot of positives, too. If he can withstand the scrutiny through IA, NH, SC, and FL and takes the lead without any major problems, he will have demonstrated pretty good capability for the general election.

[Revolting cat!]

Your boy Ron Romney will never get it!

[editor-surveyor]

Noot’s a shot up the poop port.

[editor-surveyor]

You keep getting Noot’s first name wrong.

It’s a good thing you don’t get hay fever, the way you’re always hugging a strawman.
