We need a real conservative and fast. Bachman came and went and does not have the resources to compete. Santorum cannot catch fire. Cain does not have the resources and staff to really compete and his 9-9-9- while bold, has too many holes in it. Perry, who I thought would be our savior needs to sit on a cattle prong during the debate and get some fire, and that is not going to happen. He has come and gone. Huntsman is not a conservative, in fact he may be coming out of the closet soon. Romney is a RINO, as we all know.
So that leaves us with Newt. Newt is looking better and better everyday. He has the knowledge, the fire and is the best debater. Obama does NOT want to debate Newt. The mantra is always Newt has baggage. Well, everyone up there last night has baggage. We all have baggage. Clinton had baggage under his desk. Obama has so much baggage, you would need a bus.
I think we all need to take another look at Newt. He is the only one I trust right now! Your thoughts please?
How right you are!!!
GOP = Gentlemanly Opposition Party.
Funny how Pubbies can rip each other apart - but shrivel in the presence of pure evil; aka socialist/Marxist/Democrats.
We really do need a ‘Dirty Bastard’ with brains.
Because Newt’s chances as POTUS are slim to none - the best team would be Conservative Cain and Nad buster Newt.
yes, but...
remember after the inauguration and rush said he hoped that obama’s policies failed?
newt agreed.
until the democrats demanded that he apologize.
so, newt apologized.
Newt would be great in a cabinet position...smart...the clintons’ took him out in one night...he folded like a cheap suit. He is also a DC insider...we need someone who says DC is a seedy place, Rick Perry.
Well I have seen enough. I am pushing Newt on my FB and on Twitter. He is the only one smart enough for the job and he is the only one with the experience needed for dealing with the BS that we call DC. In addition, people need to remember that it is not just about the economy. There are serious foreign policy issues that need to be dealt with. That being said, I want Newt to clearly say the BS about global warming is off the table and since there is no clear consensus on the issue, we cannot let the green energy lobby further destroy our country. The rest of his baggage, I could care less about. His greatest strength is articulating his positions and what needs to be done. He can make even stupid people understand complex issues. Watch last night’s interview with Greta and you will see what I mean. I was and still am a fan of Sarah’s, but I am now making an effort to look at the other candidates and by far, Newt is better than the others. Save it Cain people. There is more to our country than just 999......way more.
all the smarts in the room don’t mean squat when people don’t trust you.
I agree he has some problems, which is why I think he is not electable. He is still a brilliant man and nowhere does it say that you can’t be brilliant and sometimes unwise.
If the NH primary were today, I would vote for Newt.
Newt was, is and shall always be a Beltway Good Ole’ Boy.
I wish there were someone other that the pits poor selection of Republican hopefuls that we have right now.
It Palin doesn’t run, the DemocRATs will win again.
I support Rubio if he ran for number one, even though he's not ready. Cain does have swing voter appeal.
I hate to admit it but I have to agree..
I would like to hear his position on free trade ...
I could vote for a Newt/Cain ticket
Newt was great as he always is because the guy has every fact at his fingertips. I think he must have a photographic memory. There is no subject or question that you can come up with that Newt is not conversant on. Its too bad that his likeability is not better. We are hoping he and Cain will team up.
Yes, we are all just a bunch of hysterical, hormonal, catty women making choices based on emotions like jealousy. How kind of you to point that out. Maybe we shouldn't be allowed to vote?
I agree, Newt has the brains and he could get the fire going we need in Washington. He doesn’t need to practice for a debate, he has the answers for the questions in his head.
As for baggage, big deal, his background doesn’t read to different than most of the people that vote.
I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. We don’t need a Romney or a Perry. This is it folks, if we don’t get a conservative now , we are doomed.
FWIW, My own daughter told me that women shouldn't be allowed to vote because too many of them allow the popular trash media to shape and mold their opinions. I disagreed with her. But not with her reasoning.
and what will folk say when he keeps Hillary as SoS and does not repeal Obamacare but seeks to modify it instead?
Newt is also looking better and better every day.
At this point I’m willing to overlook a lot of baggage. We ought to get behind Newt, and fast.
Forget Cain. Take a cold shower and realize he is not going to beat Romney. Only a crafty old pro is going to beat a crafty old pro. And then Obama. And then the Congress, whatever its composition in 2013.
I’m reconciled to Newt. Onward.
