Of course socialism has never worked, as, Naziism, Fascism, & Communism has never worked, but then I repeat myself because socialism is nothing more than the combination of the latter three ism's.
Oh get real, Gingrich is no better than Romney. He believes in man-made global warming. He believes in managed government, not smaller government, he believes in socialized medicine. He thinks Franklin D. Roosevelt was the greatest modern American President, and the list goes on & on.
While you rant on & on about low voter turnout for Romney, I do not exactly see the great swell for Newt either. So who is delusional in this primary process?
If by some miracle Newt does win the primary process, though the odds that happening are really very slim, I will vote for him over Obama without hesitation despite the fact that Newt is certainly no conservative in my book. In reality none of the Republican candidates, from the very beginning, were too stimulating as far as I was concerned. They all had their flaws. My position, was then and remains now, anybody but Obama. Good luck with Newt getting the nod, but if Romney gets the nod then I will vote for him, because I believe he will do less damage than I know Obama will do.
If Obama gets re-elected we may never have elections again.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Newt Gingrich had an epiphany. He had to, or he would have self-destructed.
As a small child he witnessed his father beating and abusing Newt’s mother. She divorced him, remarried, and Newt was adopted by his step dad. Later he was sexually molested by a high school teacher. Yeah, the first wife he married. His second wife, who broke up his first marriage, is batshit crazy and a substance abuser. Yet he tried for 18-years to make that marriage work before finally seeking an out.
This man was carrying a troubled emotional burden while serving in Congress but he sought counseling and eventually turned his life around after a religious conversion.
What I’ve found shocking is the enormous number of so-called Christians here at Free Republic who are nothing of the sort.
Christians are not better than other people. They forgive others, ask forgiveness for themselves, and try to lead a better life by not sinning further. I’m not disgusted with Newt Gingrich, who I believe has honestly changed his life.
I’m disgusted with the bigots who claim they are Christian but do not put it into daily practice.
“...After only four years with his Party still in power, his own members forced him out...”
Oh yeah, and many of those Republicans are still in Congress. They are part of the ongoing problem of business as usual in Washignton, D.C. Under a Republican president, they added over $3 trillion to the federal deficit, shunned conservative policy in favor of Beltway influence-peddling, and so damaged the GOP brand that we lost the majority Gingrich had worked years to forge.
Do you really think I give a damn that Newt’s fabulous colleagues think his reemergence would be a disaster for Republicans? No. The elections of 2010 were NOT a merit promotion; the Republicans were the only alternative in town!
Newt Gingrich is pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and loves America and understands its citizens. As a historian, he thoroughly knows the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s history.
He allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
Washington is broken, it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to and Newt said, if elected, he will work to change the way Washington does business. You better believe the elitists who suck money off of government contracts are terrified he will be elected.
He knows where the bodies are buried.
He knows where the skeletons are hidden.
He knows about the hidden tract ways and byways by which influence peddling moves.
When a middle-class citizen is elected to Congress and returns home 20 years later a multi-millionaire, it is due to corruption in government. And that influence pedaling corruption may even be legal!
We have to change Washington in order to get our nation back on the right track.
Nothing you will say, which I believe is biased and flat-out wrong, has any effect on my belief that Newt Gingrich is the only candidate with true leadership ability who can and will change Washington, D.C. He isn’t perfect. Who is? But I believe at this time, at this juncture, he can lead this country away from socialism and will right the ship of state.
