LOL! Any post that doesn’t march in lock-step with Newtards must be banned! When the Newties fail to counter, they want to call in the ban squad...just like the FRedheads.
What issues matter to conservatives any more?
First Amendment? Nope...Newt was a co-sponsor of the “Fairness Doctrine”.
Second Amenment? Nope...Newt supported anti-gun regulation and earned a “D” from the GOA in 1996.
Right-to-Life? Nope...Newt supports federally funded abortions.
Healthcare? Nope...Newt supported Romneycare, single-payer government-mandated healthcare, was a paid lobbyist supporting the prescription drug program, and supported DNA testing of all US citizens.
Jobs and Economy? Nope....newt supported NAFTA, GATT, the IMF, foreign aid, TARP, voted for increasing the debt ceiling many times, and a “path to citizenship” for illegals.
Newt co-sponsored the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, supported “Cap and Trade”, lobbied for ethanol subsidies, and wants to expand and rebrand the EPA.
What in the hell is “conservative” about that record of “accomplishment”????
So instead of saying why you don’t like Gingrich, tell us who you do like and why.
Gingrich’s record on abortion:

Fairness Doctrine
Newt opposes the lefts efforts to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and vocally supported Rep. Mike Pences 2007 bill that prohibited government censorship in radio.
Newt does not support the Fairness Doctrine and he has been vocally critical of the lefts efforts to reinstate the doctrine over the past decade, including supporting Mike Pences bill that prohibited government censorship in radio in 2007.
In 1987, the three left-wing networks plus PBS/NPR dominated media, and talk-radio was still nascent; many of Americas most influential conservative activists, including the American Conservative Union and Phyllis Schlafly, supported the Fairness Doctrine at this time.
The rapid growth of conservative viewpoints in the media in the last 25 years is a testament to the power and innovation of the conservative movement once power is taken out of the hands of the elite networks and put into the hands of consumers.
Newt absolutely opposes cap and trade as well as any system of taxing carbon emissions. He testified before Congress against it in 2009 and led a grassroots effort while the Chairman of American Solutions to block its passage in the House and Senate.
Newt believes that cap and trade would kill hundreds of thousands of American jobs, cause electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, and make America poorer. In contrast, Gingrich believes the best way to protect the environment is through markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs, who quite often are deploying innovative new technologies.
As for the question of whether industrial development has dramatically contributed to a warming of the atmosphere, Newt has noted there is no settled scientific conclusion. Many scientists believe it is the case. Others do not. But this unsettled scientific question has nothing to do with the best approach to protecting our environment, which is always markets, incentives, and entrepreneurs creating better and more efficient products and services.
The game plan is to beat obama. The rest are wimpy. Now answer the question. Who do you think is best to beat obama?
I’m not dure where you got all that info but I AM sure it’s incorrect. Newt supports tax-payer funded abortions?? Since when? Just the other day, he said we must defund Planned Parenthood.
I really don’t appreciate being called a Newtard. I’d like to see you say that to Jim Rob, who has endorsed Newt.
Wow! I wish all those Newtards who flamed me will read your post.
