I agree. He's good at running out the clock with a lot of words and little else -- while leaving the impression that he was cut-off in mid-brilliance.
Does he not have the right, as a Republican, to run for president just like all the others? How is he "imposing"? If he wants to be president and wants to run in the primary that's his right to do so. It's up to the voters to sort out the candidates and choose the best one to represent our party. Using your definition, I guess all the candidates are imposing themselves on us.
I am, of course, a sinner, and I have a few sins from my younger days that are similar in kind (not frequency) to those of Newt Gingrich.
Having passed through repentance, all I can say if and when those sins are thrown in my face is that the person you are talking about has died and been reborn.
Newt should be more popular on FR, and maybe he will become so.
We have not heard from JimRob on this topic, I don't think, so the jury is still out.
Here are some facts:
David Stein: Debunking the Rick Perry Pro-Shraria School Curriculum Myth
Amil Imani Governor Perry's Islam Connection
No matter how I tried, I couldn't reach the conclusion that this inclusion promotes Islam or is pro-Sharia. It seems that the mere fact that Islam is included in the curriculum represents supporting it. And with regard to the concern that the education curriculum Perry promoted is pro-Arab and against Israel, the evidence is exactly the opposite. The lesson on Israel reads:
Balogna...pure balogna.
Similar to every other issue or accusation.
Oh, Cain was so lost last night. It was sad.
Newt is a flake. He bounces from conservative to liberal to moderate. Yeah, he’s pretty smart, but I don’t want a sprayed fly for prez.
Balogna...pure balogna.
Bachmann and Gingrich have substance. A Gingrich/Bachman ticket could beat obama. Gingrich could crush obama in a debate. Michelle could crush biden in a debate.
Perry took a dive with his immigration answers. Cain uses 999 for everything and 999 will not pass and will not work. Romney is too liberal.
Ron Paul and the others cant get enough votes to win.
Very good analysis. Good because it is accurate, especially regarding Huntsman.
His strategy does seem to be to say nothing that might be misinterpreted as a stand, and wait for the other candidates to self-destruct.
With all due respect to the article claiming Perry’s not advancing Islam, the author is Iranian-American.
Not a fundamentalist, to be sure. Something of an opposition voice.
Still.
Yeah and the rest of us have the right to point out pure balogna...there’s not another candidate on that stage that has done the job and addressed WITH SUCCESS in his state the very issues that are facing the nation. And it just pees on your cheerios everytime somebody points that out. We get that.
I wish he had at least stuck to his original position of signing the China currency manipulation bill. It wouldn’t have had a measurable effect but might have given the US more leverage in negotiations.
Actually, that would be a great combo. Michele might help keep Newt on the conservative track.
Newt/Bachmann
I sorta think that santorum meant that if your name is hannity, do you surround yourself with colmes.
“Sharia law is part of the Texas justice system and at least one triumphal mosque has been built there.”
I’m sorry, I call bullshit on this statement. If you mean Texas has laws that are conservative and protect the family, that’s true. If you’re saying Texas has adopted ANY element of Islam in its legal system, you’re completely wrong.
