Drawing on his wealth of knowledge and years of experience in Congress, Gingrich adeptly understands the most trying issues of our time. His ability to answer complex questions and innovative solutions is emboldening his candidacy. After Rick Perry’s incapacitating gaffe – and Herman Cain’s demoralizing public relations blunders – Gingrich has emerged, for now, as the anti-Romney candidate.

Talk to him about that. I don’t know why you brought me into it.
No to Newt. You will be very sorry. Don’t let him fool you.
Check editor-surveyor's posts today. He has been rampant with posting this link against Gingrich. He posted the link to me and I found out that Gingrich and Reagan were communists and Eisenhower was a communist toad. Some here are really going after Gingrich since he went up in the polls.
1. Newt believes long term illegals should be allowed to stay here and a new layer of expanded govt. be created — compassionate panels be created to determine which illegals have been here long enough to be allowed amnesty.
Gingrich: Some illegal immigrants can stay
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/os-gingrich-tea-party-talk-20110914,0,7703467.story
The United States should find a way to let long-time resident illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and their children follow a path toward citizenship, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Wednesday in Orlando...
...There, the former Georgia congressman and U.S. House speaker called for local boards to be established to “apply a human approach” to screen long-term resident immigrant to determine if they might stay legally, though he stopped short of suggesting they could become citizens...
...On Wednesday, Gingrich suggested possibly offering citizenship, especially to people who arrived as children. He said he opposed blanket expulsion of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, saying Americans do not want to “force that kind of human hardship.”
...However, Gingrich still distanced himself another Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who allowed children of illegal immigrants to enroll in Texas universities at in-state tuition rates. Gingrich said that Perry “narrowed the choices way too much.”
...Gingrich’s immigration comments came after he told about 100 people at a meeting jointly organized by the East Side Tea Party and the Orlando Tea Party that he believes in the conservative ideology shared by many of the Tea Partiers, but that success of the Republican Party must come first. He defended endorsements he gave to GOP congressional candidates whom many in the Tea party considered too moderate.
[Newt is a hypocrite. He says Perry goes too far yet he wants them to be allowed to stay here, have taxpayers foot the bill for an increase in govt. size and scope, just to allow them to stay here. Newt likes his own special form of amnesty and pandering to illegals but he doesn’t like Perry’s pandering to illegals because the people hate it and it will keep Perry from being elected.]
2. Newt likes the idea of Mitt’s healthcare mandate and has his own form of it but does not like Mitt’s mandate because the people hate it and it will keep people from voting for Mitt.
MR. GREGORY: All right, let me ask you about another hot-button issue in the Republican primary, of course, and that’s health care. Mitt Romney having to defend his proponent—that he was a proponent of universal health care in Massachusetts, and specifically around this idea of the individual mandate where you make Americans buy insurance if they don’t have it. Now, I know you’ve got big differences with what you call Obamacare. But back in 1993 on this program this is what you said about the individual mandate. Watch.
(Videotape, October 3, 1993)
REP. GINGRICH: I am for people, individuals—exactly like automobile insurance—individuals having health insurance and being required to have health insurance. And I am prepared to vote for a voucher system which will give individuals, on a sliding scale, a government subsidy so we insure that everyone as individuals have health insurance.
(End videotape)
MR. GREGORY: What you advocate there is precisely what President Obama did with his healthcare legislation, is it not?
REP. GINGRICH: No, it’s not precisely what he did. In, in the first place, Obama basically is trying to replace the entire insurance system, creating state exchanges, building a Washington-based model, creating a federal system. I believe all of us—and this is going to be a big debate—I believe all of us have a responsibility to help pay for health care. I think the idea that...
MR. GREGORY: You agree with Mitt Romney on this point.
REP. GINGRICH: Well, I agree that all of us have a responsibility to pay—help pay for health care. And, and I think that there are ways to do it that make most libertarians relatively happy. I’ve said consistently we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance or you post a bond...
MR. GREGORY: Mm-hmm.
REP. GINGRICH: ...or in some way you indicate you’re going to be held accountable.
MR. GREGORY: But that is the individual mandate, is it not?
REP. GINGRICH: It’s a variation on it.
MR. GREGORY: OK.
REP. GINGRICH: But it’s a system...
MR. GREGORY: And so you won’t use that issue against Mitt Romney.
REP. GINGRICH: No. But it’s a system which allows people to have a range of choices which are designed by the economy. But I think setting the precedent—you know, there are an amazing number of people who think that they ought to be given health care. And, and so a large number of the uninsured earn $75,000 or more a year, don’t buy any health insurance because they want to buy a second house or a better car or go on vacation. And then you and I and everybody else ends up picking up for them. I don’t think having a free rider system in health is any more appropriate than having a free rider system in any other part of our society.
3. The moderate Newt Gingrich thinks he should be president.
Herman Cain disagrees with all of these points.
Moderate Newt with moderate ideas who supports moderate candidates is not my idea of the best we can do. Why is it that so many on this forum like selecting the RINO flavor of the month. Just say no to RINOs.
Maybe your posts look so much like his.
Newt has been know to wander off the reservation from time to time and each time he has been severely punished for it. But with all his baggage and warts he is still the best qualified, most intelligent CONSERVATIVE in the race. Does he have some issues that he needs to address? Definitely, I am still waiting to hear why if voted for the Department of Education. For me the best conservative running is Ron Paul, Paul is 100% not counting some crazy ideas on foreign policy. But the chances of Paul getting elected are zero, next best is Newt if he can assure us his wandering days are over. lol.
So there are 25-30 million illegals here. You would deport all of them? Children and young adults that have spent almost all of their entire lives here too? Everyone without papers goes no matter what? Wow.
The 'DOE' goes back to the 1800's. I don't have the details on the bill Newt voted for but it was related NOT to creating the agency but to move the existing agency up to a cabinet level. Basically the function was not changed.
I don't know but it is a possibility that it was done to better allow congress to oversee and fund it more directly than just have it totally at the president's discretion.
Oh really? I think this post of yours will bring a chuckle to editor-surveyor.
We have mixed it up a few times.
Meanwhile, you didn’t answer my question.
By the way, no to Newt.
God help us in this nation and restore us to our former values and faith in Thee, LORD, In Jesus name. amen.
If I could pick one department to get rid of, DoEd would be it. I’d also like to get rig of DoEnergy and the EPA. Not all of the functions, could be something useful is being done. Then again maybe not. Oh and PBS for sure goes along with National Endowment for the Arts.
I believe that while Newt Gingrich has some obvious attributes, he is not a TEA party conservative and is a part of the RINO 'establishment' you (and I) want to see fail. I can envision a 'President Gingrich' gladly playing the establishments game of 'leaning left' on too many issues and finding ways to 'accommodate' many of the Democrat's agenda items, such as the global warming (excuse me, 'climate change') scam, calling it, all together now: 'bi-partisanship' and patting himself on the back for being 'progressive'. No thanks. I'll stick with a genuine conservative: Herman Cain.
Nothing in the link accuses anybody of being a “communist.”
Your attempt to interject noise into every thread that exposes Ginrich for the global socialist that he is demonstrates your agenda clearly.
The above is factually incorrect, just about EVERYONE bought into AGW five years ago. I was one of the very few calling BS way back then. Where I used to work we had close to 100 employees, all smart, all engineers and science types. I was the only person in the company said AGW was bull. The science was bad and just about everyone bought into the bad science. The only reason I did not buy into it is because as a computer programmer I tend not to believe computer models of hugely complex systems. I knew we did not have the tech or skills to model climate with accurately. Oh and I also read years ago that the output of the Sun was considered a constant by the then models. That alone made me call BS.
He needs to answer some hard questions about his globalist and liberal academic persuasions.
He support Nazi Pelosi in her global warming agenda, they said he was misunderstood and mistaken. Why the heck would he even do that?
Does he belive in a world bank authority and currency? North American Union? What about illegals and open borders? How about homeland security sexual abuse at the airports - warrent/spying violations by homeland inSecurity, the classification of Iraq vets, constitutionalists and pro lifers as “domestic terrorists”, etc. How would he amend the Patriot Act to protect our individual freedoms yet still pursue Islamic terrorist activity? What about the Department of reEducation and UN education mandates? What about the Mexican cartels and gangs building up in the US? Is constitutional freedom more important that liberty canceling security? List the EO’s he’ll cancel. What about health care? Will he repeal Obamacare?
He said that immediately he would issue an executive order canceling agenda 21. That alone, is big enough to vote for as agenda 21 has made so much “progress” over the past 10 or so years and is so destructive.
We need Newt to answer these kind of questions because I know he’s thought about them all and he needs to out himself to conservatives so we can know what to expect and what to hold him do should he win office.
Yes! We become “a new person in Christ”. And He knows if we are sincere.
I have noticed the same thing, and thought the same thing, and very much look for Gingrich to manifest that mind/heart as a result. And I surely trust in that promise until/unless he shows us differently.
Yes, respectful and thoughtful disagreement often is in short supply, isn’t it?
Wouldn’t we—and the entire country—be better off with rational arguments (for and against) those running, rather than sowing bitter emotion and disinformatiion on OUR eventual choice(s)?
I mean, why HELP the opposition by whipping ourselves into a hostile and emotion-laden frenzy which will bring us no good in 2012?

New nut in Texas is here to pave the way to global socialism by any means possible, including Noot and Mutt.
He likes to use the word “communism” cuz he thinks FR is full of idiots like himself.
He’ll soon find out he’s wrong and eat his umbilical cord and expire.
>> “Newt became a Catholic three years ago and was forgiven for all his past transgressions.” <<
.
Catholics don’t believe that they are really forgiven, and think that they are capable of saving themselves through their own sinful works.
It would be better if Newt were to actually find Christ, and not get lost in the world of idolatry from Rome.
Real faith conquers ritual.
I got it from that nutcase you provided so that I could be educated on the evils of Gingrich. Thank you.
