Look at the panic ensuing

What panic? I'd call it projection on your part.

They will savage whoever the Republicans run. It’s going to be bloody and ugly and we just have to man up and soldier on.

Ah yes, another late ‘08 sign-on pops up to do as much damage as possible. Does axelgreasy actually pay you freaks, or do you work to destroy the Republic for the fun of it? Name one damned democrat whom you would vote for over Newt Gingrich. ... Nominee by default is not a conservative strategy, troll.

It's getting really hard to tell the libs from the MittBots here...there were a bunch of Romney operatives who signed up in '08 with the express purpose of damaging other candidates.

Agreed, although I want it to be a Gingrich/Cain ticket.

I think they would be a great team.

Oh, I voted for McCain. Gingrich is McCain II. I’d vote for Gingrich in November 2012.

Gingrich would do about as well as McCain.

I’m nowhere near panicking, but I’m also not going to ignore Newt’s policy positions just because he is a good debater and knows how to blast the media...

“I’m against Obamacare, which is imposing radical change. And I would be against a conservative imposing radical change.” ~Newt

“We do agree, our country must take action to address climate change” ~Newt on the couch of Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection.

“Well, let’s see, first of all, I was really attracted to working with Reverend Sharpton because he took the position that education is the number one civil right of the 21st century. Without education, you can’t have a decent job, you can’t be an effective citizen. You really are crippled in your ability to be an American. “ Newt, on the couch with obamao and sharpton

“We are not going to deport 11 million people,” Gingrich said Thursday as he kicked off his first forum on Latino issues. “There has to be some zone between deportation and amnesty.”

GINGRICH: Exercise a no-fly zone this evening, communicate to the Libyan military that Gadhafi was gone and that the sooner they switch sides, the more likely they were to survive, provided help to the rebels to replace him. ...The United States doesn’t need anybody’s permission. We don’t need to have NATO, who frankly, won’t bring much to the fight. We don’t need to have the United Nations. All we have to say is that we think that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we’re intervening. And we don’t have to send troops. All we have to do is suppress his air force, which we could do in minutes.

On September 25, 2008 Congressman Gingrich appeared on Hannity and Colmes and called the proposed TARP legislation socialism and stated that it should be defeated in it’s form.

On September 28, 2008 Congressman Gingrich appeared on ABC’s This Week and stated that the question was not whether something needed to be done, but whether it needed to be TARP and whether it needed to be done in the
next 48 hours. He then states that he would probably reluctantly vote for the legislation.

Need to hear more? Because there is more.

Great article. If we are going to elect conservatives; let’s elect them; not just because someone can speak. Newt has sold us out before and he will again and he is part of the establishment. This time vote as real a conservative as we can no matter what they dictate.

Keep thinking like that(which is what the commies want)and we will soon not be able to vote.

"Pointing out Newt’s flaws = destroying the Republic?" Non sequitur. I was referring to the circular firing squad approach to getting a default nomination. But you knew that, you're just rtying to create more dissonance.

As to you telling me to calm down, well, get stuffed troll. We are in a time of this nation's History when calming down is the last thing we ought do as the devils climb the walls from the inside working their way down to the foundations!

If you really have a desire to work on saving America, try watching the Gingrich speech at the Horowitz Restoration event from Jan 2009, linked below. And to your utter shame, I read the article and found it wanting,a mischaracterization founded upon half-truths, red herrings, and outright lies, just your sort of sludge:

Newt was for the fairness doctrine before any talk radio and the only source of news was ABC, CBS and ... (I forgot the third one, ooops) NBC.

This is not a fair argument.

It’s clear they feel threatened now. Look at the panic ensuing.

Well, of course we feel threatened. It doesn't take a freakin' genius to figure that out. Gingrich is a big-government career-politician. Haven't you been paying attention these past 20 years?

Do you remember him sitting on the couch with Pelosi and do you remember him calling the Ryan plan "conservative social engineering"? C'mon. Newt is not what he claims to be. He's shown that.

Now, I do support Cain, but Perry's preferable to Gingrich. Bachmann is, too. Yes, were panicking -- admittedly. Because we understand what people like you are getting us into.

I stopped reading when I realized the ignorant moron who wrote this hit piece either 1) does not know what "autodidact" means, or 2) he is totally ignorant about Newt Gingrich or 3) both.
