Newt is really growing on me.

"Yes, it is and I'm going to remove it then go to bed.

Can you actually remove it if so how? Or do you mean you will ask the Mods to remove it?

If Romney ends up the front runner, Oboma gets a second term. If you look at the polls, people are doing the "Anyone but Romney" thing. Republicans, once again, will have no one to vote FOR. It'll be like McCain all over again.

Could be Newt.

Won’t be Mitt — the flip-flopper

I don’t think we know who the running mate is yet.

I have this uncanny feeling that the whole field isn’t out there yet.

As a co-author of the 1994 Contract with America, Gingrich was in the forefront of the Republican Party’s dramatic success in that year’s Congressional elections and subsequently was elected Speaker of the House. In 1995, Time magazine named him “Man of the Year” for his role in leading the Republican Revolution in the House, ending 40 years of the Democratic Party being in the majority. During his tenure as Speaker, he represented the public face of the Republican opposition to President Bill Clinton. Under his Speakership, Congress passed and Clinton signed the 1996 reform of welfare, a capital gains tax cut and the first balanced budget since 1969.

Cain will not benefit from the Black vote. The vast majority of decent, religious, hardworking Black folks (like white folks), will not endorse someone with a shady background that could emerge to haunt him in the white House.

Cain seems to think he can get away with saying anything if he turns it into a joke and if his “recall” is so poor, he won’t make an intelligent leader. Perhaps power went to Mr. Cain’s head during his rise to fame.

Please tell me you DO know how funny that sounds given the current occupant of the White Hut...

"We just had the two best days," Gingrich said. "We raised more money Monday than we ever had before and we raised more money Tuesday. Those two days we raised 50 percent more than we raised in July."

This tells us nothing until we know how much he raised in July. I suspect it wasn't much.

Unfortunately, multiple millions of voters didn’t know much about Obama before the election. He simply wasn’t vetted by the media or anyone else. Cain is being vetted and no one likes it. Can’t have it both ways.

I think the "smarter than us" RINOs in Washington have already chosen him for us. So has the liberal media, too, because to them he's the "lesser of all evils." He's more liberal than anything else.
Notice NO ONE is going after Romney.
They're all protecting him. He has so many political skeletons in the closet he should have been long gone by now.

I think he's being forced on us. They do this to us every election, because they know no matter who they choose for us, we'll vote for that person - "otherwise, the democrat wins."

Not this time. I'm not falling for their head games again. I'm voting with my heart. I'm going to the most conservative.

That would be our last nominee....

Thanks for your information. I looked it up. Here are his words.

"I am just saying that we need to be honest about the fact that we are transferring from the United States at a practical level significant authority to a new organization. This is a transformational moment. I would feel better if the people who favor this would just be honest about the scale of change.

"I agree ... this is very close to Maastrict [the European Union treaty by which the EU member nations have surrendered considerable sovereignty], and twenty years from now we will look back on this as a very important defining moment. This is not just another trade agreement. This is adopting something which twice, once in the 1940s and once in the 1950s, the U.S. Congress rejected. I am not even saying we should reject it; I, in fact, lean toward it. But I think we have to be very careful, because it is a very big transfer of power."

—Newt Gingrich, House Ways and Means Committee hearings during June 1994.

Mitt and Newt, two RINO peas in a pod.

I’m voting for the conservative Cain.

It would seem that you take your marching orders from ‘Politico’. Could you please give me the specific FACTS that back up your ‘shady’ background allegation?

I don’t take orders from anyone. Least of all rabid political groupies.

How exactly can you make that statement after the result of the 2008 Presidential election, in which 90 to 95 percent of the black electorate voted in mass for a candidate with NO known background, except twenty years of Rev Wright's God-damn America Church? Were you asleep in Nov 2008?
