To the headline, I agree completely.

We have failed to get a true conservative at the top of the ticket. The best we can hope for is second place.

Gingrich is NOT a Tea Party conservative. I believe he disdains the Tea Party as well as anybody who adheres to its principal tenets.

I will probably write-in a name before I vote for Newt.

If you want to write in a name, just write in Barack Obama, because a vote for anyone but the Republican Nominee is a vote for four more years of Obama.

Newt would be fine, he will be center right and will help to turn back the tide. It has taken 80 years of bad liberal policy to get here it will take decades to repair. Newt is better than Romney, and some of the other candidates. He will also be damn tough on Obama in the election.

I doubt you ever attended a Tea Party!

You are incorrect in your assessment!

Newt Gingrich has met with the top Tea Party activists in many states.

I attended a meeting in 2010.

Newt was strongly in favor of the revolution.

I believe his new Cabinet would reflect Tea Party principles.

I vow on my sacred honor that I will NEVER vote for romney or newt... I have given my last vote to those that hate me and want to destroy me. newt and romney are no different than obama... they just play different characters for power and fortune.
