he would "call first, before I said anything that might be construed as inflammatory."

Oh good Lord. Yes, please make sure we don't offend anyone.

If we don't begin to offend our enemies we are doomed.

Heck at this point we not only step all over ourselves trying to "not offend", we won't even define who our enemies are!!

“Let’s be candid,” Newt replies. “The only reason you didn’t become a career politician is that you lost to Ted Kennedy in 1994.

Ouch! That's going to leave a mark.

The “Newt Gingrich for President” ping list!

If you want ON or OFF of the ping list, just let me know!

To whom it may concern: If you wish to give me BREAKING news, links, information, or tidbits for the purpose of (perhaps) having me post it at FR, your confidentiality WILL be kept by yours truly. I will tell NOBODY the source of my information.

[EDINVA]

Don’t have a ping list, will a BTTT do?

A fabulous and even more interesting, TRUE article about Newt from, of all things-— Politico!

Who’d ever think that Newt would be a babe!! I love it!

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Great debate last night. I especially liked Newt's smack down of Michele. Funny thing is this was only the second debate my mom watched and when I saw her earlier the first words out of her mouth were, “ wow, that Michele sure is a witch”.

The smack down of Mittens was pretty good too. I liked that Perry did well, even though he won't get my vote. He is not a bad guy, just not ready to be president. Who knows if he ever will be. The others are just the others along with the crazy uncle.

One more thing. Last night is a prime example of why we need to lessen the grip of the lame stream media on the debates. Don't know if the Trump debate will go forward, but I hope so. We need to encourage the candidates to be seen in venues other than liberal, rabid attack venues. Could you imagine if Obama has EVER received questions as difficult and as below the belt as what Newt received last night?

Good post. Thanks.

I’ll try to ping you when there is a new NEWT thread - have been very slack.

Often, I have already posted something on a NEWT thread before I get your ping;) LOL!!!

On EDT - where are you?

Newt was great in that debate. When Mitt made some comment about the “Lunar” something (I did not catch exactly what), I wish Newt had (could have) taken that opportunity to just explain to Mitt, that perhaps NASA could be of help in locating Mitts terrestrial planet. (but of course, although tempting, he could not say it, then again??)

[matthew fuller]

"Gambling is very much prohibited in Mormon doctrine. If Mitt can’t be true to his religious oaths then how is he going to perform an oath to a temporary office?"

Nice catch!

[RoosterRedux]

Thx for those links. I had read the Jeffrey Lord one (and emailed it to friends) and look forward to reading the others.

[RockinRight]

How so? (I missed the debate).

You’re very welcome. Just in case anyone missed these, im going to repost them:

I thought the moderators were quite good. They asked good questions and let the group go at it.

We'll see them changing their tune of the past as they realize Newt and others will go around the media to be heard ....and without them if need be.

Lots of controversy over the Trump Debate...but it accomplished well Newt's intentions from the start...when he grabbed the debates out of the hands of the media and called them what they were....the Trump debate was simply a heads up to them .."get it right or we'll have other venues who will do so"..........and they heard as we saw last night.

If Newt continues to play the media as he successfully is....once can imagine what he'll do with the Washington gang!

Me thinks his meeting with God has produced a 'co-operative effort' on our behalf between the two. I hope we don't blow it and let this chance to restore our nation under God go down the tubes again....it's almost too late now...it will surely be if the right man is not elected.

[caww]

NASA could be of help in locating Mitts terrestrial planet.

Maybe Newt's got dibs on the moon for his earned planet and why he objected to Newt's wanting further exploration of it and the universe....that's Romney's churches claimed territory for their Priests and elites such as himself... tsk tsk.

That would have been a below the belt punch had Newt carried it further....maybe another time....when it will matter that type of blow count.

[annieokie]

LOL.. Newt would never do it, funny to think about though, and I don’t doubt that Newt did think about it, wanted to and bit his tongue.

[annieokie]

Maybe Mitty threw that out there as bait, hoping Newt would attach his religion. hmmmmmmmm, maybe?

[nicmarlo]

great article! thanks for the ping

[Ditter]

Newt will probably make a good president and just think about Calista as first lady. She will be as much fun to watch as Moosechelle! How about we call her FBOTUS? Snort.... you figure out the B.

[matthew fuller]

"I think Newt should consider the choice if Marco Rubio declines."

I think that Rubio, Santorum, and Perry will be on one of his lists, as well as many others. I almost bet that it will be a total surprise to most of us. Personally, I was in favor of John Bolton, but Bolton as SOS is probably as good, or even better.
