Newt Gingrich. How the "smartest man in the room" may become the most electable.

Pro-Amnesty scumbag - yes

Smartest man in the room - only in his own mind

[buccaneer81]

How many wetbacks do you employ?

[BreezyDog]

Within the last 2 years, none.

[buccaneer81]

Why does that tell me you’ve done it in the past?

[EnquiringMind]

Illegal alien lover. I don’t think so.

Better think again. You wouldn't believe how many Newt supporters there are out there. Perhaps not here, but out there.

[patriot08]

“The mission is to defeat Obama. Period.”

This time around, Yes! Obama must go. Voting third party, or staying home gets Obama reelected...He is EVIL. He must not get another term. He must be replaced with a Republican.

______________

You are absolutely right.
We MUST stand behind whoever wins the nomination.

I would have thought it wise for Newt to get out front of this and get his face on the news shows today to further clarify his position. So far Newt has not been seen.

True. The media is doing their best to rip him a new one (with the aid of about half of FR.) But by this time everyone's thoughts are turning to turkey. He does need to get some clarification out there, but he succeeded in being the main news item of the debate. In the long run, it will help.

I guess I’ll probably be saying this a fair amount of the next few months but .. I will never ever vote for Hussein, RINO Romney or RINO Newt. Never. Ever. Either the GOP nominates someone else or I got Third Party or write in. It’s just that simple. No more settling. No more lesser of two evils. No more following the GOP elite off a cliff.

[newheart]

And with all due respect, one other thing you may wind up saying for the next five years is "President Barack Hussein Obama." Until a perfect person runs for office it will always be a choice between the lesser of two evils. People felt that way about Adams versus Jefferson.

I'd rather take the chance of following the GOP off the cliff than concede to a Democrat victory and be guaranteed that the nation goes off a cliff.

There are a lot of people out there with ZERO principles too but I don’t want to follow them either.

The proximity to the holiday helps I suppose. Still, if it were me, I would have preferred that my word (vs. the media narrative, Bachmann's, and Mitt's slams) was the last thing that was on folks minds before checking out for the weekend.

As for the FR purist, sooner or later they are going to have to come to grips that their candidate is going to be a compromise.

[RIghtwardHo]

Which is what the elite is counting on me saying so I’ll do what they want. I’d rather fight against the enemy “out there” than be thwarted from fighting the enemy in my Party. Fighting the “enemy within” doesn’t work.

No more. No more.

[moehoward]

....”rocking the boat”.......

I’m afraid he’s unloaded both barrels through the hull. Without question he should have hung onto to this issue until the general. The more he talks about it the more it sounds like what it is. Bachmann nailed him.

[Walrus]

Whoa! Who is John Galt? No, make that “Newheart”.

“Newheart” is new to me, but WHAT AN OUTSTANDING analysis this is!

[Leto]

Good vanity post.Gingrich isn’t perfect by a long shot, but no candidate I have ever seen is perfect. Gingrich is the most conservative electable candidate.

I think you are right about Cain and Perry taking themselves out

I also like the fact that Gingrich hasn’t chosen to go negative on the other candidattes.

[freekitty]

Some people never learn.

[newheart]

Obviously not everyone on the thread agrees with you, but thanks.

[Chainmail]

If I may, let me distill this for everybody: None of the GOP candidates are perfect. Or even close.

All of the GOP candidates (even that senile twit Ron Paul) are light years better than Barack Hussein Obama.

I'd like perfect but I will vote for whomever gets nominated.

"Sitting the election out" is exactly the same as voting for Obama, savvy?

I donated to Newt’s campaign and had the opportunity to meet him a few weeks back. I thought Herman or Newt, but the more I think on this amnesty deal the more frustrated I am with this position.

We spent 8 years under one Compassionate (aka Big Government) Conservative and it damn near ruined the Republican brand not to mention bankrupting the country.

Were it not for the incompetent Kenyan in the Oval Office the Republican party may have had to suffer another 40-years in the majority.

My wife and I are seriously rethinking our support for Newt.
