Not long ago, I wanted Gingrich to run for POTUS and I probably would have voted for him. But, along came the Gingrich vs. Kerry global warming “debate” and basically Newt and Kerry are arm in arm on everything, point by point. Gingrich is now off my radar. Later, Newt.
Absolutely agreed.
The Second Amendment has always been my bottom-line "litmus test" for candidates, and stays that way. But ya know ... man-caused global warming is such a destructively cheap, gaudy fraud! I mean, really! I'm beginning to find it a litmus test as absolute as RTKBA.
I mean, think about it. The War on Terror is important, and I like to vote for warriors. But if the U.S. plays along with the socialist-driven "Globaloney" (what a succinct term), it would increase, not lessen, chances of war.
It's ridiculous at its core. It's frighteningly ridiculous and even evil, as Al Gore scares children into thinking polar bears are drowing. It is incredible, and future generations will look back at it, shake their heads, and think how quaint we were.
Is a candidate's buying into man-caused global warming anyone else's looming litmus test?
That was a sad day for Gingrich. Although I don't think Gingrich was electable even before that sorry debate I think it ended his chances forever with a lot of Republicans. Newt may know history but he doesn't know science.
OTOH, I think he would make an excellent adviser to Thompson who, IMHO, is looking like our best hope to capture the hearts and minds of the MSM junkies who call themselves Independent and who are now leaning so far to the left they are about to topple over. A TV personality would get their attention and I think that is why the Dems are afraid of Fred.
