I’m, still, concerned that a President Gingrich will become a “Big Government Conservative”, instead of becoming a “Small Government Conservative”!

Unfortunately what sells is not necessarily the better product.

This is make or break for the GOP.

Gentlemen. I think if we lose this fight ... we lose the war.
So, if you choose to join us, I'll be personally very grateful.

Ode to the Grand Olde Party, and their BFF, the Obamanator.

When Newt or Paul rocks the GOP Establishment Boat,
The GOP oarsmen pull knives from their boots.
The hacking and slashing puts extreme fighting to shame,
Never, no NEVER rock the GOP Establishment Boat!
The GOP cannot win elections, by choice of their suits,
A RINO Nominee is a Democrat, - - - - one and the same.

Two Party as One Party is what they adore.
“Never give voters a choice,” ( or politicians
Are out of life-time jobs, - - forever more).

As we pay our bills holding our noses as we vote,
The Obamanator holds his cold, steel knife
To America’s throat - - - - .

Newt kind of has me curious, I know there will be times when I will be furious at him, but we all know that any President will be totally out of acceptability with us on some events and issues and we all know that those will vary for each one of us, but I get the feeling it might be kind of exciting with Newt.

In many ways, or areas, Newt’s background and resume, is what we would have written down in a fantasy design of the perfect man for president, at least in these times when we need someone who can handle the Congress, and who thinks big and wide, and long term, and who knows how we got to this place, and why nothing ever works, or gets better.

The possibility is that Newt could be truly great, the raw material is sure there.

"Newt offers a clear philosophical break to the leadership of the RINO Party."

Get real. He's trying to buy Florida votes with taxpayer money promised to a stupid moon project. He's just like all the vote buying politicians who trade our money for his votes.

"Socialize the expenditure, privatize the votes"

He's the only candidate who can back up his words with an incredible record of conservative achievement and who is also capable of speaking to the cause of conservatism in an effective and electrifying manner.

Romneybama is ... a trap.

I would hope that he would drive them further to the right. Realistically though, I don’t see that happening. The republicans see him as an obsticle to overcome. When Romney loses miserably like Dole & McCain, they will find some way to blame “divisive” conservatives.

I registered out of the party a long time ago. No more holding my nose and voting for the lesser evil. I’m done being a republican fool.

Personally, I think the time has come for the republicans to go the way of the whigs.
