NEWT: "WE DO AGREE OUR COUNTRY MUST TAKE ACTION TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE!"

[miss marmelstein]

Newt’s right: Romney is Eddie Haskell and Perry is Lumpy Rutherford.

Cain and Gingrich agree to Lincoln-Douglas style debate in The Woodlands "The two Georgians seeking the Republican nomination for president have accepted an invitation from the Texas Patriots PAC to meet in The Woodlands [north of Houston] on Nov. 5 for a free-wheeling and moderator-free debate on the major issues in the 2012 presidential campaign.

The two participants — former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — have gained ground in the polls following their performance in the first eight debates of the GOP campaign season. But Gingrich in particular has been critical of what he considers “gotcha” questions from reporters and the nasty tone of the most recent debate in Las Vegas." [snip]

"I believe it is fundamentally immoral for a society to say to somebody: 'If you work hard, you save, you're frugal, you do the right things, we have the right to take half of it away from you to give to people who didn't spend their lifetime doing what you did,'" Gingrich said.

I've just never bought into the idea that Washington knows how to spend my money better than I do.

Newt Gingrich is a big surprise.

He tied winning the last two debates with Mr. Cain.

My guess is that the quote has absolutely nothing to do with the picture. My guess is that, like a lot of other responsible people, Newt has changed his position on global warming. Indeed, if you look on YouTube, you can find clips where he says the opposite.

Once we realize that every candidate running is a politician with an angle and not one of them is a true outsider (the closest being Perry). We can get back to picking the best one to beat Obama.

Newt is awesome in debates and has decided to be the "statesman" candidate. Good plan by him. Plus he doggedly goes after Obama.

Perry still has the stats and the story.

Cain has the charm if he can keep convincing people he is an outsider.

Mitt has the "electability" factor.

Time to have Cain/Newt/Perry and Mitt sit down and hash this thing out.

Newt supports “limited amnesty” and is global warming nut.

Enough for me. Maybe he can be jose perry’s sidekick and run for pres of mexico.

Maybe instead of you bashing Newt for something stupid he did years ago, you could instead get after Perry for all of the stupid things he has said recently.

Newt has been the best debate performer so far. There is a reason he and Cain have agreed to a one-on-one debate - to eliminate the stupid moderators and the not-ready-for-prime-time Republicans.

It's basically down to Cain or Newt to me at this point. Perry showed he isn's prepared, dittoes for Bachmann, Santorum is a weasel, and Romney was never an option.

[dirtboy]

At the rate Perry is going, CW, you’re going to have to be attacking all of the other GOP candidates, because all of them are going to be ahead of Perry in the polls.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Newt illustrates why even in a football stadium, there is no room for another ego.

[Lakeshark]

And the PerryKrishnas continue to pretend their candidate isn't flaming out and has no chance of winning.

He needs to drop out before he embarrasses himself (and conservatives) any further.

[McGruff]

Plagarist!

Palin: Let me confess too that, we're four hours behind you guys in time zones so when the debates started, a couple of minutes into the debate, my kids started walking through the door after school and after playdates and they're kinda griping and bickering amongst each other and then the debate in my other ear the candidates are up there bickering and fighting amongst each other and I honestly for a minute or two didn't know which group should I be listening to and which group was making more sense. Thankfully, the candidates calmed down

With Perry dead last and sinking in the polls, your only hope is to lower the real conservatives numbers. LOL, does not seem to be working, Cain is beating Perry in Texas, LOL
