And considering all the crap people tossed at Thompson for having the audacity to start his campaign when HE decided, why should we support someone who didn't have the leadership or initiative to get into the race before now?
Things have changed.
This is a dynamic system, things are changing rapidly. What was reality last month isn't now.
My brother-in-law needs a gig. He’s been clean and sober almost a month now. Needs something inside without a lot of heavy lifting.
Thanks.

My vote:
3 Jim DeMint (Senator from South Carolina)
1 Newt Gingrich (former Speaker of the House)
2 Duncan Hunter (Congressman from California)
4 Alan Keyes (former Assistant Secretary
Not ideal, but not too bad.
And if I hear one more yahoo from the sticks come back with the DNC’s utterly false “divorce in hospital room” propaganda, or the knuckleheaded and pathetically uninformed “Newt’s a global warming fan” (READ HIS BOOKS DUMMY!), or any of the other fantastic and disprovable slanders, the I don’t know what remains for Conservatism in America.
IMO Newt is the only sure and articulate Conservative voice remaining, and at this juncture his is the voice needed to get Conservatism back on track.
From the choices I'm presented with as of now, he's got my vote.
so sad
So, you're saying if your brother-in-law is elected, only small, lightweight interns need apply?
While I'm not a huge Newt fan, and don't think he'd have a chance to be elected, I'm glad to see you mentioning that.
"In 1992, his Democratic opponent, Tony Center, ran an ad claiming that Gingrich had "delivered divorce papers to his wife the day after her cancer operation," which was not strictly true, although friends have acknowledged that he discussed divorce terms with his estranged wife while visiting her in the hospital.[14"--Wikipedia
Newt's personal life sure isn't a big improvement on the lies told about him, though.
why not just accept reality and try to influence mccain?
John McCain’s ties to George Soros

McCain’s Reform Institute donor list:

and where they greatfully acknowlege Sen. McCain as past Chairman:

I am confused on this biz. Should McCain get dumped at the convention who/how do the Rs pick a new candidate? Will it be the huckster(Id vote for Obama before him...Obama will do less damage)? Can they draft Romney(not my choice but could vote for him)
With zero leadership speaking for the majority of Republican voters what can happen? So far no body has more than 1/3 of the primary votes! geeeez
Think of the hay they'll make out of McCain's divorce.
newt is...let’s just say...gotta love him but he’s not electable.
I thought he was too erectable.
Please don’t gross me out like that. Ever.
I’ll accept any conservative who isn’t a globalist, who believes the words of the Constitution and the Declaration.
Funny how I actually have to make that distinction, as if globalism could somehow be conservative.
