Newt Gingrich is no ally of Conservatism.

Who’s left? It’s either him or Romney, so they’ll suck-up to both. That’s the entertainment business.

Because Newt has a significant chance of becoming the nominee and it doesn’t pay to provide Obama with ammunition.

Whoever embodies your concept of a perfect conservative WILL NOT be the nominee!

So, you just keep doing Obama’s work.....

And yet...he still looks damned good by comparison to Romney or zero.

Newt has a 90 rating from the American Conservative Union. Many of your arguments are taken out of context, just like the quote they are attributing to him that he “will be the nominee.”

Why are all Liberal talk-show hosts just so gentle with FUBO, just asking.

The writer of the article is essentially correct, but what other viable recourse do we have??

I know this question always comes up at every election - whether or not to vote the lesser of two evils. Some have come down of the side that if they guy/girl they want doesn’t get the nomination, then they will either not vote at all or will vote for a third party candidate who has no chance of election - justifying their righteous act of non-voting as making some kind of “statement”.

All I know is - Barack Obama must not be president again. The Democrat party must lose control of congress and the white house - our country cannot stand another 4 years. I don’t even know if we can recover from the damage already done.

I know the analogy has been made that voting Republican is only voting for slower socialism. The dems are going over the cliff at 100 mph (in fact are already over the cliff) while the repubs are going at 50mph.

I’ll take the 50mph and hope we can change direction before we get to the edge.

Newt is a great debater. He is a wealth of creative ideas, may of which can benefit America if he get's back in power. But he shows an inability to focus because of all those ideas.

Leadership and bold ideas are what we need. As watchers from outside the beltway, we the people tend to see the potential President much like a King who will be able to change what ever he wants with the wave of his hand.

Newt might be the guy to deliver on both ...BUT- he is going to have make a very definitive statement about the Global Warming crap he bought into with Nancy Pelosi or millions (read: MILLIONS) of people are going to stand against him!

Because they are NOT (nor have they ever been) on our side. They are pushing (and always have) who the GOP elite want. THe GOP elite want a RINO. They do NOT want a Conservative.

But, hey ... some of you just go ahead and vote for the lesser of two evils. Look where that has gotten us.

3 minutes into Newt’s answer about hooking-up with Carter on Education the listening audience would be switching away to another program. That’s the very short answer.

As I hear Rush Limbaugh say from time to time, “if ya don’t like the way the show is going, get your own show.”

Perhaps you could direct your questions to Newt himself and share the answers with the class John.

Not really. I guarantee Newtie will legalize all our criminal invaders.

I rate Newt even worse than Romney. At least Romney’s private life looks like a choir boy next to Newt.

You won’t get any argument from me on that especially when the Republican Party leadership recently joined hands with the Democrats in passing the un-constitutional No Child Left Behind Act which is now used by the federal government to blackmail the States. BTW, isn’t that our current RINO Speaker of the House in the picture with a big fat grin on his face?

Newt has stated that the 6 to 12 million who have invaded our borders and their offspring will get to stay here if they haven’t broken specific laws…entering our country illegally not being on the list.

Hannity wants Gingrich, Rove, Family Values/Gambler Guy, Bill Bennett to always come on his show.

Very rarely do u ever see a real Tea Party Conservative.

Newtie is too busy trying to impress the cultural elites who have brought upon our national crisis. He will NOT get my vote under any circumstances. No Conservative should support him, period (that also goes for Slick Willard).
