Some of these arguments used to defend Newt now... Is this what’s to expect from the conservative movement going forward? Is there a way back to credibly pushing our values and ideals if we embrace this man?

I’ve seen incremental damage done to the conservative movement as positions have shifted just to support particular candidates, just a little bit at a time as people have found excuses to support RINOs and scumbags, but nothing that could measure up to an endorsement of what Gingrich represents. I was lurking here when there were arguments about what a great conservative Arnie was, then Rudy was... Is there a line some Freepers aren’t willing to cross?

Newt has far too much baggage to win against Obama, many voters are lukewarm on him or against him, and the only thing I see his nomination accomplishing is firing up democrats to come out while discouraging conservatives to stay home.

Enough with the Mitt fear. Haven't we learned anything since 2008? McCain was the candidate to save us from Mitt back then. And now McNewt is that candidate. When are we going to show some backbone and support a conservative candidate instead?
