Is Newt Gingrich the Real Deal?
Townhall ^

Posted on 11/12/2011 8:54:58 AM PST by Java4Jay

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.

I’m on the Cain Train but I also like Newt. His stance to not attack fellow republican candidates was my first draw to him. But I am concerned about his endorsement in the fairly recent NY-23 election and if he’s part of the ‘RINO Establishment’ I so desperately want to get rid of. What say you?

Hmm so which Newt should I believe? The one from May 2011 who said the Individual Mandate in Obamacare was his idea or the one in Nov who said he thought the Individual Mandate was Unconstitutional?

Will the real Newt please stand up?

I like Newt, but he has too much baggage.

In theory Newt is right and works in practice, but in practice he isn’t always and doesn’t.

Noot is an also-ran. I saw NY-23. I was there. He is a backstabber, playing the RINO game. I am sure of it.

Is Gingrich a real conservative? No.

Is Gingrich a real globalist? Yes.

He goes soft on liberals. He is a true conservative but since he was ousted as house leader he is gunshy.
I prefer that he had a Tom Delay infusion.

MNJohnnie, don’t use twisted statements from Newsmax taken many years ago. I seek truth. As I’ve responded to you before, watch these videos on Newt’s response to your accusations.

There is a place for Newt. It is not as President.

Perry might have had a brain fart regarding a question in a debate, but Newt seems to have the same problem remembering who his wife might be.

Herman Cain’s demoralizing public relations blunders

..demoralizing to the media, political elites and ambulance chasers--Cain is fine, well-funded and rolling into the primaries...

He is a true conservative...

Not now. Not ever. He is a stinkin' internationalist.

I read the stories his ex-wife has been interviewed for. What I gleened from these stories was that Newt had a big, big, bridge with tons of water under it. She implied that some of the things she is privvy to could bring him down. That scares the pants off of me. If Cain weathers this storm (and it looks like he will) I am sticking with him. Axelrod has a way of using any litigation against his opponents. Newt’s divorce will be a veritable trasure trove. I just can,t risk supporting him for president due to a messy divorce alone. I can support him for vice president though.
