OMG! There was another debate? Seems there’s about three per day. Who’s idea was this? How does it help a party to have this many opportunities for your candidates to commit gaffs and have people tire of them?
This election should be about who has the best ideas and who brings substance to their arguments and who has proven they can work across the aisle and get things done. That’s all this election should be about. Anyone who wants to bring up what someone did 20 years ago, or flip flopped on something from 15 years ago or who worked for Freddie or any other nonsensical argument that’s only there to mudsling, is completely useless to the process. What will fix things NOW is the question! Who is sticking to the issues without demeaning their opponents and offering solutions? I think the answer is pretty obvious. Newt Gingrich is the man. He won this last debate, like he’s won every other debate. So if he gets at least 3 debates with Obama, do you think he’s suddenly going to lose to Obama? It will be the very opposite. He will crush Obama. After 3 debates of at least 60 million people watching, the nation will finally get it and vote for Newt. People want jobs and the economy growing again. They don’t care if this guy made this much. It won’t help them get a job. Solutions is what we all should be looking for. The rest is just cheap politics that we have no time for. I’m not looking for someone I personally like, because Newt Gingrich will never be my personal friend. I do want the smartest guy in the room who I agree with the most. There really is no comparison. Newt’s depth of knowledge grounded in histroical references towers above his opposition. The Republican elite fear this! Well good - maybe we’re sick of the status quo. Mayber we’re sick of the “experts” telling us who to vote for. Maybe I don’t care who endorses who, because by following the endorser I’m devaluing my own opinion. Maybe we need someone willing to shake it up and really go toe-to-toe with the Democrats and the Media! We need the person who will make the most effective arguments and this will win over the American people not only in the election, but as Newt starts to govern, the people will help push through bills we all want because they will have the most effective argument reasoned in their head thanks to Newt.
I'm ready to campaign against Obama and get someone else in the White House. These debates just give the MSM more fodder for the re-election of O.
