“Why doesn’t Newt have the votes, if he’s so good?”
You tell me, your not an enthusiastic Santorum supporter (only by default you say) but the only thing you have against Newt is his apparent whining?
I’ve seen several of his campaign speeches, several of his interviews and not a few of his extended speeches and lectures at various group meetings and I don’t see this ‘whining’.
You have nothing to argue against the ‘smartest guy in the room’ or ‘best debater’ labels so they must be true at least in your eyes.
It’s clear his ideas are well thought out and not just talking points just look at his solutions page on his website. He has a 54 page paper on getting the judicial under control alone.
He tells us what he intends to do day one and if history is any lesson looking at his accomplishments on his first DAY as Speaker, then we have much to look forward to.
Just a taste:
It’s billed as the longest first day in the history of the house (til 2:00am the next morning).
- Led passage of nine reforms (they said he couldn’t/wouldn’t get any but he got all nine)
- Eliminated three committees.
- Eliminated twenty five subcommittees.
- Eliminated more than six hundred congressional jobs called LSOs and he didn’t pick and choose which ones, he eliminated ALL of them. A savings to the tax payers of nearly 35 million dollars.
To add icing to the cake he hadn’t even started on the Contract With America yet. That was to come later (within 100 days actually) this was just in cleaning up the House.
So why aren’t you for him?

Yes, that’s what I said. Of course you are free to glean conspiracy if you wish.
“but the only thing you have against Newt is his apparent whining?”
Oh no.....I’ve been pretty brutal on why I don’t like Newt in past threads. If you know your candidate, you know his weaknesses - and I think you’d admit, if you’re honest, that Newt has some issues to deal with.
“I don’t see this ‘whining’” First words out of his mouth this morning on Fox News Sunday was whining.
“You have nothing to argue against the ‘smartest guy in the room’ or ‘best debater’ labels so they must be true at least in your eyes.”
He’s not getting my vote. Apparently he isn’t getting many other peoples votes. That’s what you Newt supporters always seem to say. I’m accepting it as fact - and wondering “Why aren’t people voting for him if it’s true?”
“It’s clear his ideas are well thought out and not just talking points just look at his solutions page on his website. He has a 54 page paper on getting the judicial under control alone”
Yet he’s in 3rd place. Why?
Why is your candidate not winning?
