Why I Support Newt Gingrich
legalinsurrection.com ^ | 11/16/2011 | William A. Jacobson

I have been agnostic on the Republican primary so far, but the time for choosing has arrived.

For the reasons set forth below, I believe that the primaries will come down to Mitt Romney versus Newt Gingrich. As such, the choice is not between Newt Gingrich and some hypothetical more perfect conservative candidate, as Newt’s most vocal critics would have us believe.

I’m supporting Newt Gingrich as the most conservative Republican who is electable and most qualified for the position of President.

I agree. My vitriol was directed right back at you from your comment toward me although. If you don’t want people writing nasty stuff towards you, then I would suggest not writing nasty stuff towards them FIRST. FREEP-on FRiend.

lots there

For one thing, Gingrich pioneered a denial of adultery that some observers would later christen
“the Newt Defense”: Oral sex doesn’t count. In a revealing psychological portrait of the “inner”
Gingrich that appeared in Vanity Fair (September 1995), Gail Sheehy uncovered a woman, Anne Manning,
who had an affair in Washington in 1977 with a married Gingrich.

“We had oral sex,” Manning revealed. “He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say,
‘I never slept with her.’” She added that Gingrich threatened her: “If you ever tell anybody about this,
I’ll say you’re lying.”

There does come a time when it’s no longer a good thing to feed the animals.

We have a fine slate of candidates. But there is only one man who combines the brilliance of insight derived from knowing how we got here and what our Nation has come through, with the clarity of what it is going to take to pull US out of the death spiral we are now in. He can debate Barry Obama and show the world what an empty shirt the current pResident is. He can articulate a future for the war we must win against militant Islam, militant economic indenture, and militant secularism.”

And that’s why I am voting for Newt!

Flashback:

"I just think the American people want to move forward without the re-runs...(they will see him as a member of the “old school” politics)..and most are looking for someone refreshing and up to the modern day line of thinking."
