“Hey has FR repealed the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy on being a Newt fan? For years I thought I was the only one who didn’t think he was a RINO turncoat. Not that I’ve been blind to his faults but I swear I was the only person I saw write a positive thing about him around here for the longest time.
Good to be out of the closet, isn’t it?”
I think a LOT of people here are secretly NEWT fans, but afraid to say so. He is now in 3rd place in the latest Rasmussen poll. With Perry’s dismal performance, the general dislike of Mitt Romney, and the soon-to-be-unveiling on Newt’s NEW Contract with America.... more and more people will be looking at Newt as the one person who can beat Mitt Romney. Perry at least put up more of a fight than Fred Thompson, but is about to suffer the same fate..... total collapse.
Newt may have baggage, but Mitt has Romneycare for Obama to hammer him with on a daily basis. On the plus side..... Newt has an unbelievable grasp on everything, and an incredible amount of great ideas. Mitt Romney has his talking points so rehearsed, you can’t even tell he’s spewing talking points.
It *might* come down to Romney and Newt, and I hope you people can come out of your Newt-closets, and put your support behind his candidacy.
Well said....and I think your scenario may just play out. Hadn’t heard about that Rasmussen poll!
Here is my one concern should that happen. I think Newt is at his best right now because he’s basically taken the approach that says: “I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m going to be myself, make my points, and let the chips fall as they may.”
That is, he can “play loose” because there’s no down side. If he should seriously be in the hunt, I really hope he doesn’t start listening to the packagers who try to change him and make him play it safe.
