You are too funny.

Newt has his own baggage. He is currently still on the ballot in my state and that is where my vote is going.

You still did not address my question so I will assume that you do not remember 1976 or the convention.

Newt in spite of what you think does not have courage ( or at least did not). He folded like a lousy poker player when Clinton shut down the government.

And by the by, Newt has a spotty history in terms of what he got through the House. Frankly, his willingness to compromise with Kennedy and Pelosi and Clinton I found appalling. Do I like him better than Mitt? No doubt about it.

But do not delude yourself. You can jump up and down all you want. You can hold your breath until you are blue. You can ‘righteously’ stay home this fall. Do all of that and it changes nothing.

If you do not have the delegates you will not get the nomination. Newt’s run this time around has been at best dicey. His early lackadaisical attitude, his outright arrogance in declaring himself the obvious candidate, to the slip shod way he ran how campaign.... all of those things cost him votes and delegates along the way.

None of the above matters either because in the end the goal MUST be

1)The maximum nu,her of conservatives in the HOuse and in the Senate
2) NO second term for the O

“Then when she admitted she wasn’t running a smaller myth was created by Newt (encouraged by Palin) that he was that one”

Newt didn’t “create a myth”. If you recall, Todd Palin called him to say he was endorsing him (TP even talked about it afterward). It was widely presumed that, considering Sarah’s such a public figure and their marriage is a close one, he didn’t do this without discussing it with her first. She also spoke out in support of Newt not long after, and although not Formally or Officially endorsing anyone as her husband did, many (including myself) looked at it as a clever way to endorse Newt via Todd without publicly boxing herself in.

“She couldn’t have made it more obvious who she supported without crossing the lines as a news employee. She did her part, which was to give Newt a boost at a critical moment”

You’re absolutely right.

All I know is, I know I am at peace voting Newt to the end. Our primary has been rolled entirely, and the GOPE haven’t had to even break a sweat rolling us. Until we stop them it will never end.

They must experience defeat in 2012, or the people are serfs politically no matter who wins the general.

Down ticket voting may well be our last real voice.

It’s Newt, or Obama. Maybe we get our party back.

Yes that was very clever, just like the hundreds of ‘hints’ she dropped over 2+ years that she was running (against Romney) as a real candidate without actually saying she was running was VERY clever, Look at all the suckers that went for the bait. I watched in amazement at the time occasionally commenting ‘SHE”S NOT RUNNING’, but suckers are born that way and they are soon parted from their money.

Speaking of suckers, are you on the ‘Newt Sucker list’ ?? Because:
Newt Gingrich rents donor list to raise cash

“Who do you support? Would that someone be Ron Paul?”

Thank you for this thread and your great posts! Now it’s time for me to share the following gem with you, my FRiend, to read and use when engaging with Paul-bots (or any conservatives who may be attracted to RP) - enjoy:
