Here in the real World, we make choices, sometimes between two unpleasant things. I have made choices, life and death choices on more than one occasion and have been through the wringer.
I have stared death in the face and buried more than my share of loved ones including a child. I know life, am an adult and I don't need lecturing about what we face as a nation.
I know how bad it is and that is why I will vote for the Republican nominee. Gingrich knows how bad it is and has stated what I believe is the absolute truth. Obama is the most destructive president since Buchanan and this is the most significant election since 1860. He understands what Obama is doing and will eviscerate him rhetorically.
He can win, he can also push legislation. He will get good things done.
I am more than certain that Gingrich would be Center-Right, AS THIS COUNTRY IS CENTER-RIGHT. He would not be perfect but a damn sight better than Romney and he would turn the tide.
It has taken close to a century of bad, leftist policies that have brought us to the brink, It will take DECADES to stop & repair the damage. Newt would start to repair the damage. So would Bachman, Santorum, Cain, Perry and some of the others, Newt, however is resonating with the electorate. Romney would be bad, but not as bad as Obama. At least we may survive and have an economy after a Romney presidency.
Four more years of Obama would destroy this country, this is the challenge, these are the facts.
Voting third party or writing in the name of a person NOT in the running is childish and stupid. It is a vote for Obama by default. Plain and simple.
Beyond that, it is all posturing.
Newt Gingrich has a lifetime Conservative Rating of 90%. That is pretty high. I am confident he would be palatable.
I try not to be taken as being personal in responses and I also try not to come off as attacking another FReeper (trolls are fair game). If you thought that I was attacking you personally, I am sorry... that was not my intent. If you do not want to discuss things with me as an adult as you said... then ignore me. I was not trying to lecture you... I was trying to inform you (admittedly from my POV). You do not like or agree with my view on things and that is fine. I will not try to stop you from your right to think and post as you wish. But if I have a point to make or discuss... well that is what FR is all about.
BTW... I usually do not post things like the following but you questioned my mental capacity and I must correct you. IQ 158... three degrees... I am neither “stupid” nor am I simple minded. I just have a different opinion from the one that you put forth.

Well said, and thanks to those trying to bring the sanity of reality to this thread.
