You’re really on an anti-Newt rampage tonight. Who are you supporting? Mitt or Santorum or Paul
Newt lovers will disregard this just like global warming, lobbying freddie mac, the Newt leftist here on this board love him working goverment for 20 years then cashing in making 3-5 million a year, but romney can’t invest his own money open up a business and make a real honest living. Amazing group of leftist and hypocrites we now have here.
LOL!!!
Flop sweat comes to mind.....
In defense of Gingrich. The numbers here that Gingrich is talking about who do get into the military would be miniscule and given a path to citizenship versus millions of illegal immigrants inside the US. An analogy: only pocket change v. millions of bucks.
Why even discuss something like that when there are proposals to reduce our ground forces by 80,000 during a terrible economy?
If you join the military, you get to be a citizen.
Makes all the sense in the world.
Heinlein agrees.
Military should always get 1000 votes.
Landowners. 500.
Those who paid taxes 7 or more years. 10
Citizens. 1.
Welfare Recipients 0.
I wish we had some of those so-called "RINO's" back like Daniels and Barbour again. They were far better than Newt.
They never bought into global warming or Federal healthcare mandates. And they've walked the walk, not just talked the talk.
The Dream Act was wrong, and rife with loopholes to give amnesty to virtually everyone who came here illegally. That is not what Newt stands for. What he does stand for is reason, and I will vote for him.
If all we get out of this election is a good, honest fight, then we have made the point. Romney is in no better position to win anything. I don’t want a kindly gentleman debating the pig, I want an attack dog. Even if Newt loses, BO will be greatly diminished. Not like McCain with his “my freind” BS. I want a FIGHT!

Horrible. McCain 2.0 on immigration. Newt would have signed the DREAM Act which was voted down (barely) last year. I cannot believe this is what we are left having no choice but to support. Mittens? Newt? Dullboy Rick? Sickening.
Sorry but if some young man or woman is willing to put his or her butt on the line fighting and serving our military then why not give them a shot at making it. This wouldn’t give citizenship, merely give them a chance. If it draws even a small percentage of the illegal gangbangers off our streets and into honorable service then I say job well done.
I'm confident Newt wants to solve the problem (thrown most of them out, seal the border, end identity fraud etc.).
If I could make all the trouble go away by giving amnesty -- and Newt is not even talking about that -- to 1 or 2 or even 10,000 illegals I would do it in a heartbeat.
Considering that there is no more money for the military, I think this promise is virtually empty...which is good (in that way).
I don’t think it’s right to blame you for simply reporting what Newt said.
Maybe Newt is the best candidate available. If so, by all means support him—but hold his nose to the grindstone and clue him in. If he says this now, what will he do once he gets into office?
With Obama and his Communist Defense Secretary threatening to fire tens of thousands of American servicemen, into a civilian world where there aren’t any jobs, the last thing in the world we need is to replace our own citizens with illegal aliens.
What the hell is Newt thinking?
None of these losers will send the illegals back. Newt lost me here.
Wow, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to elect a real conservative and it looks like we’re getting another hold your nose election.
The premise people like Gingrich (and Dick Durbin, and Luis Gutierrez) use for this position is absurd and unworkable.
“saying that he would grant a path to citizenship to illegal immigrant youths who agree to sign up and serve”
The US has been doing this with the Filipinos for years and years. As said above the numbers would be minuscule. Hoodat is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill but does not know his history.
