Yeah here is a thought instead of Blind Rah Rah worship of a Candidate let's for a change ASK the real tough questions of All candidates.
I have researched Newt Romney Santorum and Cain. Cain Was my first choice Now its Newt BUT NEWT IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. He is just the MOST CONSERVATIVE Candidate left that has a shot a winning.
So NEWT"S feet should be held to the fire at every chance we get. Let him know it is he who must meet us waaaaaay more than half-way. None of this "Rah Rah our guy won" and anything he does is Okey Dokey. We've been there and done that Damn it this time it needs to be done right!
NEWT, CUT THE BUDGET if Congress sends you a Budget that is one penny more than last year VETO IT ON PRIMETIME TV AND TELL CONGRESS YOU WILL KEEP DOING SO TILL THE BUDGET IS LESS THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR!
Bottom line Newt should not get a free ride from anyone. He should answer the questions honestly and admit his wrong doings and state "I will not repeat them!"
The status quo was for 40 years the Dems held power. They gave the Republicans cover and pork. Congresscritters go to DC broke and end up wealthy. For them, it worked.
Along comes Gingrich. He gets control of the House. CHAOS! Budget cuts. Less pork. And the Republicans actually had to GOVERN. AND take responsibility. The Dems were outnumbered. The 98 budget was scheduled for a $1 Billion cut. GET RID OF NEWT. And they did. Phony ethics charges that were ALL dropped. AND they got to smear him.
Tell me what you see in the House right now? Lazy, ineffective Republicans? You bet. Do you think those spineless creatures want Gingrich rocking the boat. Ha!
Spot on. Face it, 98% of us on FR are going to be there in November voting for the Republican ticket, regardless of who it is - though few will admit it. And I expect Beck, Drudge, Rush, Medved, and any other pundit, that right now support another candidate besides Newt will be doing the same. This is the Primary, and all the candidate should pass our own personal set of standards. To fall blindly for the person who seems to have caught fire just because they have caught fire is no way to pick a candidate.
And I would bet that nearly every Freeper here who has now a man crush on Newt, could not stand the guy back in the spring of 2011 when he jumped in and his popularity here was next to nil.
Maybe you should spend some time over on Newt’s website. He has answered the questions and he has laid out his plan. His plan is Reagan’s plan on steroids.
Please type in the box the evidence why Newt is supposedly “not a conservative” (LOL *CHORTLE* *SNICKER*) without using the words “couch” or “Pelosi.”
Do you still think Cain is serious?
you have to be kidding?
“we the people” and playing silly with Colbert
Cain is just not serious...talks like a TV preacher...never knew why folks here liked that guy
if you gotta go black ..then be smart about it...Allen West...now then you got something...but I despise race picks no matter how much freepers run after them time and again like lemmings
Newt’s track record in Congress is better than anyone running except looney Paul’s
ACU 94...not too shabby...2 points less than Jesse Helms
Santorum has no better record than Newt and Mitt Romney is to the Left of Daddy Bush...deep into Gerald Ford territory
folks here talk a lot of trash...
you are fine fellow though usually...to be fair
I went Palin-Bachmann-Perry...then Snewt
Palin did not run and the other two faltered though I thought Perry a decent man
