And a lot of us aren't.'

Are Conservatives Ready to Forgive Newt Gingrich His Sins? ………..”If Newt can withstand the rehashing of Tom Coburn’s book — a book that portrays Gingrich as talking the talk, but betraying the talk once in office — we may have our anti-Romney. If not, I think Rick Perry may yet have a second coming if he is ready. I say that having asked many callers to my radio show who are Cain supporters where they would go. Most say Newt. The others Perry. And if Newt implodes? They almost always say they’d go to Perry — Romney is rarely their choice.”…….

Rick Perry on Congressional Insider Trading [:24]

******************

Nov. 13, 2011: “Pelosi fires back at ‘60 Minutes’ report on ‘soft corruption’”

“Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, according to CBS. They bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44; two days later, shares were trading at $64, CBS said.”.......... Source

Pelosi Bashes Catholics: 'They Have This Conscience Thing'... “After having some of her behind the scenes shenanigans exposed, Nancy Pelosi has turned to her friends in the MSM to help her with damage control. The effect is something akin to watching what scrambles out after you overturn a large rock.

Pelosi sought to defend herself from allegations that she and her husband made millions from insider trading in what the Washington Post calls a wide ranging interview……..

……Pelosi added a startling, if inadvertent, admission. Addressing the effects such [ObamaCare] legislation would have on Catholic health care providers, Pelosi said:

"I'm a devout Catholic and I honor my faith and love it . . . but they have this conscience thing."…….

Conservatism is about principles, and they do not change just for political expediancy. Newt has no core principles, he’d back the individual mandate tomorrow if he thought it would be advantageous in some respect (like dumping the rest ObamaCare- we could hope).

He is totally unreliable as a small government conservative.

At this point, unless a real conservative surges, I am hoping for a floor fight at the convention with someone like DeMint throwing their hats in the ring on the second ballot.

Great, let’s all spend time beating up every opponent to the kenyan marxist toady.

Let's see, what was that number three again...?? Education, commerce, uh, duh...

I wished we had Perry as our governor during the corrupt Richardson years; he's done great for Texas. But he'd be no match in a debate against Obama whose smooth talking and continual platitudes would convince those who aren't following closely that Obama is still the candidate to support and would succeed if it just wasn't for those pesky Tea Party Republicans.

I'm lukewarm towards Newt, but gotta be impressed with how he's handled the debates. He is the smartest one on the stage and his new films explore a wide range of American issues and topics (Gingrich's own movies explore topics such as Ronald Reagan's "rendezvous with destiny," Islamic extremism, alternative energy and the role of religion in the roots of the United States and the Polish Solidarity movement.).

The purpose is to win and even our FR founder says he would support Gingrich if it means ousting Obama (not so for Romney).
Hate to tell you but if Cain flames out and Bachmann and Perry remain trailing in the low single digits, I’m going all in with Newt. Not that I like or trust him, but I really, really DISLIKE and totally DISTRUST Romney. It’ll be anyone but Romney for me. DRAFT PALIN!!

I think Newt has grown up a bit since his tantrum days. I do think he does have a role to play in Washington as he is one of the few republican politicians who has sucessfully navigated these treacherous political waters. Electing Someone who is an “Outsider” may spell disaster if we throw them in with liberal sharks. They will have a difficult time trying to survive much less accomplish something. Maybe we should concentrate not on a candidates shortcomings and instead judge them on what they have achieved and what they will be able to achieve if elected.

CW: When are you going to give up on the delusions that 1) your posts will knock Newt out and 2) Perry will recover somehow from being a dunce?
