Gingrich looking serious
Public Policy Polling ^ | 05/26/2010 | Tom Jensen

Posted on 05/29/2010 6:02:56 AM PDT by speciallybland

Newt Gingrich is increasingly looking like a very serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 if he decides to take the plunge. He's been posting significant support in all of our state by state polling looking ahead to the contest, but his performance on our California poll this week was particularly impressive.

Gingrich led the way in the state with 28% on our poll to 25% for Mitt Romney, 18% for Sarah Palin, 13% for Mike Huckabee, and 10% for Ron Paul. California (obviously) is a long way from Georgia and Gingrich putting up those kinds of numbers so far from home is a clear sign that he'd be more than a regional candidate.

I think a Palin/Gingrich ticket would be pretty good—where palin was at the top of the ticket. Newt would serve as Palin’s conduit to congress.

Newt’s time has come and gone. He squandered the opportunity he had and he is much responsible for The Marxist Usurper sitting in the WH as the GOP, RINOs and GW.

Gingrich sold the climate change fraud. No thanks.

And a California poll for the GOP has no bearing on the reality of the election anyway.

Ohio, Missouri, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida etc etc.

Newt would be a mere but painful distraction to the process. He'd suck resources from candidates who really have a hope in hell of guiding this country back to health.

You don’t think that behind the scenes he could be helpful?

Do it, Newt. Obama wants another four years.

Newt Gingerich is one of the BIG reasons we’re in the mess we’re in today!

SAY NO! Learn what this guy is really about...globalism, open borders, everything we don’t need more of.

[snip]Some wise man said, “The only indicator of future behavior is past behavior”.

There is lots of hype lately from the K St Crowd, that Gingrich helped found, to push him for president as the only “conservative” in the race. Newt has his finger in the wind, and is finding that Americans want immigration controlled, so now he’s suddenly on “our side”. Don’t believe it!

Let me remind you of a few FACTS.

In his much touted ‘Contract with America’....NOT one word about immigration. In fact only recently has Newt even talked about immigration enforcement. In the letter below, he joins other open border lobbyists proclaiming Bush’s amnesty is the ‘only way to go’.

Newt’s voting record on immigration....pretty bad! Per Numbers USA and others: “ Leans toward higher immigration, population growth, foreign labor. I can find nothing, in all the years that Gingrich was in office where he ever introduced or worked for legislation that would control our borders.

His close and long lasting association with Grover Norquist (open border White house policy maker), Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed should cause concern.

I won’t even get into all of Newts money and corruption scandals over these many years or the fact that Newt never met a NAFTA/CAFTA type trade agreement he didn’t love.

Conservatives Join Together to Support Immigration and Immigration Reform

Moore, along with Norquist, Newt Gingrich, Tamar Jacoby and other amnesty advocates penned a letter to the Wall St Journal proclaiming Bush’s guest worker plan as “a humane, orderly, and economically sensible approach to migration.”

A couple of months ago there was a John Birch video regarding Newt. It was interesting and went back to college days. It essentially cited instances when he was friends or associated with liberals all the way up to having common friends with LIBERAL with the Clinton's. Some that are quite activist today.

He has put the word out from the start of his career that he is conservative, yet he has all these liberal friends, and he has definitely been an internationalist for years. Still he maintains a conservative mantle. He speaks of the Founding Fathers with words of praise. After watching the video and what he is currently doing, I am thinking , Newt is saying things conservatives like and want; yet I know inside he is an internationalist which is definitely not conservative. He may be like the moles planted in our government, during our time fighting communism pretending to be one thing while waiting for the time to step in and do otherwise. What do we know about his whole voting record? He is great communicator.

I do wish he is truly a conservative but I do not believe he is.

What do you think?

I have an idea .... Who would rather have a second Obama term?

I have different ideas . . . Who thinks that pro-amnesty, pro-health care reform (with very few modifications), pro-guest workers, pro-reach across the aisle, pro-abandon fellow POW's and MIA's, pro-cap and trade, pro-open borders, pro-McCain Feingold restrictions on free speech, pro-money from Soros McCain would have been much different - other than window dressing?

Who thinks the current mess began with the election of Obama, and did not result from years of both the Republicans and Democrats sidling to the left?

” I do wish he is truly a conservative but I do not believe he is.

No way. One of his closest associates is the Muslim convert Grover Norquist. Newt is for Newt, not conservativsm.

It's not going to happen, of course.

There are two ways to win a 'pubbie nomination. Get the support of the base or win crossover voters.

Neither will support Newt. His time is past.

Exactly, right. Newt is too much a Washington insider and a has-been at a time when people are looking for non-DC types. That's why governors have the best chance.

Newt is very adroit at speaking about the faith of our founding father and in general projecting what it is conservatives are looking/hoping to hear.

God help us in our day, bless America and cast out of our government leadership men/women that mean evil for America, in Jesus name amen.
