We’re darn lucky to have Newt.
Dr. Laura says “Life is a sloppy journey.” Newt, of all people, knows that.
I defy anyone on this forum opposing Newt to listen to his contract for the 21st century and not be impressed.

.....he, and any one of several hundred of the more grammatical freepers. Get the Mombasa MF off the prepared script and teleprompter, and he's toast to anyone with over 500 in the SATs. The man is an AA idiot.
Tell me again how he got elected. I was away on a llama buying trip in Bolivia.
Dumb as shit is your forte.
Exactly my point. It's why I recognized your stuff as dumb as shit so quickly. And, really, it was dumber than two pails full, but I didn't want to insult pails of shit everywhere.
Is this man "dumb as shit" also?

Yes. Simply regurgitating the same, over-used stump talking points doesn’t do any good, or change many minds.
What we need to do is reclaim some of the empty space between many people’s ears. Reintroduce some of the ideas, principles, history, civility, morality, loss for many of self-reliance that has been so lacking in much of our educational institutions, and, too often, from one generation teaching the next.
Simply hurling out our position and then arguing about it does not serve the larger and necessary requirements of redirecting this country back toward our formative values.
We need people who understand our past greatness to teach those principles to ensuing generations. Otherwise, all we have is a bickering, downward-spiraling, uncivil society bent on each component getting what it can at the expense of someone else.
***Who in their right mind marries their high school geometry teacher?***
His teacher was 26 years-old and he 19 when they married. This says more about her than Newt. He clearly was an immature teenager. That he became successful academically as a history professor, publicly as a member of Congress and Speaker is remarkable.
Emotionally, perhaps not. So he has not led an unblemished personal life since age 19. Big damn deal!!!
We need people who understand our past greatness to teach those principles to ensuing generations.
Exactly! That's why Newt is the man of our time right now. His intelligence, historical perspective, and ability to articulate dynamically makes him the perfect bulldog.
“I realize you’re about as sharp as a bowling ball, so maybe you can have someone read this to you.”
Well....there you go again...bowling balls are round, not sharp, but be that as it may...why is it that you can’t defend yourself and your own opinions? Dumb as shit, of course. Why am I not surprised?
and I got some news for you ... rebellion is NOT brewing, and whomever said that is deluding themselves. We are in deep chit, and cannibalizing our own is not going to win a battle, let alone the war.
I ran for election this year as a Tea Party candidate (and by that, I mean I was vetted and “supported” by the Tea Party, ran on the Tea Party platform, but ran for a non-partisan office), and lost, because the Tea Party people would not even get off thier rusty dusties and write checks, let alone go out and volunteer for things like doorbelling. I spoke once a week for 6 months to TP groups, and would hear people saying how great it was that I was running, and they were pulling for me, but the bank account had cobwebs and the volunteer list was empty.
I finally had a handful of TP volunteers do some GOTV calls for me a few days before the ballots were due back. The election was lost because 2000 conservatives sat at home and did not vote, and of the ones that did vote, 1500 that cast ballots skipped my race.
The Tea Party is not yet saavy enough to be a viable political force in getting thier own candidates elected, and so unless you want 4 more years of Obama, yes, you are going to have to suck it up and pick an R that may not pass your purity test. Yes, you will have to settle for “middle ground”. If you dont, then we get Romney as McCain 2.012
I'm not the only conservative who realizes what a disaster of a nominee Newt would be. That you would attack me for sharing that view with other conservatives and then cowardly ignore their comments tells me all I need to know about you.
Bye.
“No answer to my question? I can’t say I’m surprised.”
Answered very clearly...get an adult to read it and explain it to you;
Well....there you go again...bowling balls are round, not sharp, but be that as it may...why is it that you can’t defend yourself and your own opinions? Dumb as shit, of course. Why am I not surprised?
You have not answered my question. I asked, 'Is this man "dumb as shit" also?'
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2807007/posts?page=50#50
And your brain dead response was, 'Answered very clearly.'
Obviously that was a lie. So you're not only a coward but a liar as well.
So be it.
You have not answered my question. I asked, ‘Is this man “dumb as shit” also?’
My answer was;
“..why is it that you can’t defend yourself and your own opinions? Dumb as shit, of course.”
Answered quite clearly, once again. You are dumb as shit.
This Rick Perry dude is faithful, conservative, record number of vetoes (proof he will stand his ground), good economy, sound foreign policy knowledge.....yep he looks pretty good to me.
Thank you - thank you - thank you.
Every FReeper should be required to watch this video before making one more comment in opposition to Newt’s candidacy.
Can't wait!!
You’re welcome, welcome, welcome!
Newt = my favorite bulldog

You're welcome.
If I knew how to start a thread and include the HTML to the link, I'd do it.
By the way, there are a lot of other Gingrich videos on his and others' sites.
It's fantastic!
