LOL! This is not only laughable, it's hysterical!
Just because you are ignorant of what Gingrich keeps trying to do does not make him a socialist. You're obviously one of these who doesn't understand Newt because you do not see the perspective from history which he takes.
I saw an interview with Newt one time where the interviewer asked him why he talks to the NYT when all they do is crucify him? Newt essentially said in order to make your points you have to convince people. Liberals are people! You can't get a point across by ignoring them.
I don't know if you remember this, but Newt held an (8?) member debate in congress one time on C-SPAN. It was brilliant because it showed the absolute ignorance of liberals about the subject. Newt skewered them!!
Newt is conservative as they come!
Wow. You lie as easily as Obama does.
This is not one of them. Statist apologists and third column activists have forced every constitutional conservative, 10th Amendment committed federalist to withdraw except notably, Newt Gingrich.
I’ll go to the wall before agreeing to support progressives of ANY flavor, like Santorum or Romney. Thank you very much, but no.
Newt should stay in the race. He does scare me, but I do know, acquaintances of mine that are liberal are MORE scared of him.
Newt should stay in. He’s the only one of the 4 who does not have a sissy voice. He could really debate Obalgae - the other 3 hum and haw while trying to think of a response. Newt is straightforward. Newt reminds me of Winston Churchill. We need Newt Gingrich at this time in history.
Who campaigned for a radically liberal Republican and against a Tea party candidate in New York 23?
Who endorsed Specter who then was the deciding vote for Obamacare in the US Senate?
You fail to mention the conservatives worked with or conservative causes helped, because there weren’t any. Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, and Dede Scozzfava aren’t conservatives.
Classic line there!
With 175,000 Newt donors, if each donor gave an additional $200 each (on average) that would be $35 million.
In 1980, I was young enough and stupid enough to have voted for Jimmy Carter. A year into Reagan’s presidency I was sold and I have been a committed Reagan Republican conservative ever since. If have to go back to 1968 to find something on someone, you are really reaching.
Go Newt! If he’s not the heir to the Reagan Revolution then who is?
Gingrich is the dismantler of the Reagan legacy. Why do you hate true heirs like Sarah Palin?
Wait you voted for a Georgian who pretended to be a conservative (at least in ‘76) more than 30 years ago, and you want to make the same mistake again? (technically Gingrich isn’t from Georgia like Carter, he’s from Pennsylvania and France)
Who supported the individual healthcare mandate in the 1990s and said Romneycare was a good idea as it was being passed?
Yes he should!

That’s leaving you 85 short dude. LoL!
The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to not upset the apple cart that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the economy didnt recover. Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how moderate they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obamas horrible regulatory actions.
Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesnt paint it that way every night at 5:00pm. So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.
Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher
