Respectfully Urging TEA Party Republicans to Unite Behind FHS Newt Gingrich NOW
Reaganite Republican ^ | January 9, 2012 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 01/09/2012 5:37:00 AM PST by Reaganite Republican

Ron Paul will never win the nomination... 
neither will Santorum.

It's Newt Gingrich... or say 'hello' to President Romney

The anti-Romney vote approximates 60-80% in most upcoming primary states... yet he's starting to run away with it. The problem with that being Mitt -although a competent manager and clearly no dummy- is not a conservative, but an unprincipled, opportunistic chameleon with zero core beliefs who cannot be trusted to act with the courage and conviction required for repealing ObamaCare or any of the other damaging legislation/diktats recently rammed down our throats by the power-drunk Left... but Gingrich can.

Yes, we've arrived at the point where only unity on the American Right can prevent us from having to endure four (or more) years of Obama-Lite, the legitimizing of the entire so-called 'progressive' era, and the permanent acceptance of the USA as a Big-Government entitlement-state... that's what a Romney presidency brings (provided he can even get enough conservatives to show up on election day).

To me, that means the end of all that ever made this country great in the first-place... and probably a national debt crisis.

I therefore deplore each and every one of you to have a real look at the genuine Reaganite platform you can expect from a Gingrich Administration- what's not to like?

In my humble opinion Newt Gingrich has done far more for the conservative movement in this country than anybody else on the stage... I'm talking about getting things done

There's no more able defender of American exceptionalism than the Former House Speaker, either-
a true believer if ever there was one, and a stand-up guy to boot.

Ron Paul supporters can and must realize their candidate made himself unelectable with fringy, turtle-esque views on important national security issues... then ask themselves if RP ever really thought he could be president- sure doesn't act like it. I know you guys are having fun and all, but just think about getting most of what you want from Gingrich, who's gone out of his way to praise Paul's fiscal views. Although I don't know to what degree he'll be able to impress you over the long run, I can guarantee you won't like a President Romney any more than I will.

Santorum's mediocre debate performances of the last couple days made it clear to most that he's not going to be setting the world on fire in November's general -nor perhaps any other- election. He's a good guy, but is this really the pony you want to bet the farm on?

Both Mittens and Obama are undoubtably mortified of facing Gingrich one-on-one...  no candidate has a better chance of landing a knockout punch on the Bolshevik Boy Wonder in debate than Newt... nobody.

This is a man who's says he's dedicated to a second 
Reagan Revolution -as nothing less with restore the glory and might of the United States. It therefore boils down to whether you choose to believe him... as I do.

I urge you to consider doing the same: Newt's been plenty open regarding his platform, and it's honestly hard for me to understand the cynicism in some out there, doesn't seem grounded in reality.
Gingrich spoke to an overflow crowd at his Derry, NH Town Hall yesterday, where he blasted Obama both barrels while offering a refresher on his own supply-side credentials.

Saturday Newt held a special Veterans' Town Hall featuring former Reagan National Security Adviser Bud McFarlane at the at the Wright Museum of World War II History in Wolfeboro, NH, where he by all accounts delivered a dazzling performance...

“Hopefully, conservatives will coalesce around Gingrich. He dropped when there was a vacuum of debates and Romney made his move to destroy him. With the debates back, he can speak for himself and will hopefully rise again. There are two more debates before the SC vote.”

I am praying for precisely that

We all want a conservative, but people are not voting for them. Why?!

We only had one vote and people did vote for a conservative in Santorum. Newt and Perry received votes too. All three of them had votes from conservatives. I think people are voting for conservatives. Tomorrow the three will receive even more conservative votes.

Agreed on all points, but the time to get behind him is NOW imho

Mitt is pulling out a lead in SC and now Florida, where Newt enjoyed leads of 16 and 7 points respectably, I just want it Gingrich vs Romney by the time we get to delegate-jackpot Florida...

Could it be the vocal majority are not conservative? Could it be that such wouldn’t recognize one if it bit them? There does seem to be some question in the mind of the electorate.

The Right is split 4 ways, allowing a RINO without major support to walk away with it

That’s the problem... esp considering most of them haven’t a prayer of winning

Which candidate(s) is/are pro RKBA?

Funny how quiet that issue has become around here.

We know Romney is a disaster for the 2nd Amendment, how about examining the others?

I wanted to barf yesterday when Romney responded (paraphrasing) “look at my record” when asked why voters should view him as a conservative. Really Mr. Romney? You can stand there and call yourself conservative with Romneycare in your past? I half expected him to burst into flames.

We haven’t even had one primary yet. Let the people decide.

Because when we thought that same thing in 2008, McQueeg won with only 33% in SC and 36% in FL and the race was over.

I know that it may be hard to accept that anyone could have less stature than John McCain, but believe it or not Mitt Romney fills the bill.

Romney will NOT match McCain's 2008 South Carolina performance. He'll be hard pressed to match his own 2008 15%.

Boy do I hope you're right. However, reality tells me this: Rasmussen Election 2012: South Carolina Republican Primary (Romney 27%, Santorum 24%, Gingrich 18%)

I think we have time. We can wait until after SC. Vote for your favorite not Romney in NH and SC. Then we coalesce.

The main thing is to make sure and ignore the media coronation of Romney after he wins these contests.

As long as not Romney has more votes than Romney, we can coalesce and beat him.

“There’s plenty of time to unite behind the winner.”

The idea here is to CHOOSE the winner (instead of leaving that to the media, the establishment, to independent voters and even Democrats in some primary sectors)!!!!!!!!!

Oh, come on. The first primary, and a meaningless one at that, hasn't even be held yet, and you are already talking about somebody "walking away with it"?

After Florida the field will look much different. Romney's inevitability myth will have been shattered in Sought Carolina, not resurrected in Florida, and the non-Romney's will be winnowed to no more than two.

I don't know who the eventual nominee will be, but I sure as hell know it won't be Romney.

Sorry, but NO---I'll never unite behind Newt. If he or Romney is the nominee then I write in Sarah Palin's name and then go home and sleep peacefully with a clean conscience.

No more "nose holding" and voting for "lesser evils."

Period.

Yes it is time to unite behind Newt. He can beat Obama and he has the policies, the experience and the guts to turn our country around.

ps, Big push on Twitter to slam the Bain film before it is even out. They are spinning it to be an anti-capitalism film, and therefore, Newt is against capitalism. They are also spinning that Newt is a big, bad mean person. IT IS NOT about Newt being mean or being anti-capitalism. It is the truth about Mitt, it is about corruption, bailouts, crony capitalism. We need to fight the spin.

There is a lot of time between now and the vote. Romeny won’t be able to sustain that 27%, which is already a reduced number from a week ago.

The petals are already falling from Romney’s rose.

More immediately, while I think Romeny will still win New Hampshire, I think he will underperform there to an extent that will surprise the elites and help set the stage for his collapse in South Carolina.
