I don’t have a choice as of yet, but these constant ‘challenges’ because you don’t like a certain candidate is getting to be very tiresome.
Pump up your choice all you want,and that’s fair.
But to constantly run down another persons choice is not only not fair, it borders on insanity..
Personally, I think this thread needs to be pulled.
Gingrich is so smart that he frequently outsmarts himself.
Who lost their job as a result of the Clinton impeachment?
Who stuck his foot in it with his ‘path to non-deportation’ and ‘path to legalization’ and new Red Card bureaucracy layer?
The ole white-haired fox frequently outfoxes the ole white-haired fox.
The “quandary” is the RinoCrat Elite vs Flyover Country....
Gingrich is merely a symptom...and happens to be a candidate closer to the bottom of “their” list..making him marginally more “acceptable” to us.
We basically are being gifted of Soviet-style Poliburo type election..with only “approved’ candidates on the ballot...that won’t upset the DC applecart.
Sigh.
So many words, so little truth.....
I realize that Newt is by far not the perfect candidate. What I keep in mind is the bigger picture. I do want anyone who is more conservative than liberal in the White House But more than that, I want control of the Congress...both houses. I think that is even MORE important than the Presidency. We need to strip the Presidency of all these new powers Obama created. I don’t care WHO signs all the conservative legistlation so long as he signs it. I realize we will never get a perfect candidate but given the 2 we have to choose from right now, Newt is the less offensive. Frankly, I secretly wish Santorum will pull things together and surge but right now we have to deal with the reality of the moment. Personally, I am curious to see if Newt survives being the new enemy of the media elite.
An absurd post. I support Newt and my sign-on date predates yours. Newt wasn’t my first choice, but he emerged after Perry kept shooting himself in the foot. Same more or less with MB. Cain doesn’t have the requisite experience. If Santorum would’ve had some type of breakout, I’d have supported him.
I have consistently posted against Slick Willard and have done so since 2008.

What does the sign-on date have to do whether Newt is a good choice or not?
Newt was my Congressman for many years. I kept voting for him because of his scrappy dog, grenade throwing Minority Whip position. Yet, he always did seem to me to be academically arrogant and I never felt he was quite ‘on-board’ with the true conservative philosophy.
When Congress switched to Republican Majority with Newt as Speaker, I thought we’d get something substantive done. Then Clinton and the Lewinsky BJ - Clinton Lying debacle.
Newt was at a gathering and said that he’d personally hold Clinton to account as President for his moral, ethical and legal behavior. Yesiree....right about the time ole Newt got caught screwing around with number 3......
we all know how that crusade turned out, don’t we?
The immigration stance is more than enough for me to never vote for him under any circumstance, but I’ve already decided from before he doesn’t have the ethical wherewithall to be President.
...Here's another button for ya.
Who are you to deny another Freeper the right to free speech?
I've been posting here nearly every day since mid 2007, and have never once seen your handle. Did you just wake up from a long 'sleep'?
Another summer of ‘08 sign-up goes to work in earnest ...
“I’ve been posting here nearly every day since mid 2007, and have never once seen your handle.”
Maybe you should pay better attention then. My posting history is available. Look it up.
My point was not a ‘denial’ of ‘free speech’,which by the way is only guaranteed against the GOVERNMENT, but the constant ‘goading’ of people who have absolutely no intention of supporting the candidate that are constantly putting down instead of showing support for their chosen candidate.
The very first ‘comment’ by the poster shows that the intent was to start an argument. NOT have a informative discussion.
Your indignation is misplaced.
My point was made, and I’m not going to be drawn into the childish game of ‘mines better than yours’.
:)
Well, that IS a desirable characteristic.
I realize this thread is about Newt Gingrich supporters. However ...
Herman Cain is more conservative than Rick Perry? That’s pure horsesh*t.
Herman Cain continually clarifies his statements on abortion, immigration, states’ rights, TARP, negotiation with terrorists, auditing Federal Reserve, and Palestine. He claims he was either misquoted or quoted out of context, didn’t understand the question, or was either joking or exaggerating. When he clarifies his statements, guess whose policy positions he takes? Rick Perry’s.
One must ask why Herman Cain, who claims to be the ultimate conservative, must continually clarify his positions? The answer is that Herman Cain does not actually know where he stands. He wants to be conservative, but he doesn’t have conviction.
Rick Perry doesn’t have to clarify his positions on conservative issues. He knows what he believes. He is consistent because he has conviction.
I'm sorry, but your attitude seems to be one of, "ignore that man behind the curtain!" The original poster is doing the work that we all should do, that is, thoroughly examining the candidate du jour and pointing out whatever deal-breaking flaws he can find.
Instead of responding with a full and reasoned rebuttal to defend the candidate, you want the man's thread pulled. That's a leftist approach to open debate, and I don't like seeing it amongst conservatives.
Bullcrap..
The poster was looking to start a fight..

He or she wasn’t trying to ‘vet’ anything.
I’m not going to get into a pi$$ing match with you.
I’m done.
