Shades of the Parliamentary assault on Winston Churchill! I didn’t know you were such a student of british History.

As for Newt, all I can say is, “Talk is cheap.”

[not2worry]

Newt is not a conservative. He is a moderate-just like Mitt Romney.

He may be the smartest guy in the room, but he is also the best maniupulator in the room.

How's bout someone who is not a politician?

Hmmmm, let me see if I can think of someone....oh wait, can't have him because he doesn't have any insider political experience.

Guess the TP was a waste of time if it is to be forgotten so soon.

What did you think of Reagan’s liberal political baggage? You know, amnesty, anti gun legislation, tax hikes, signing the first ever abortion rights bill in California, endorsing RINO’s, etc.

Are you consistent?

[dfwgator]

But as I said earlier, I would vote for Newt if he’s the nominee.

When Newt Gingrich starts talking, I sit back and listen. Intently.

Isn't that the truth!
When Newt starts talking, it's like a master class and a feast. I just told my husband this morning, "Won't it be a relief to have competence in the White House?"

Nobody here denies that Newt talks a good game....but he doesn’t walk the talk.

Seems many people disagree, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2809123/posts?page=1

amnesty

Look up simson misoly act, Congress went back on their word

tax hikes

Nice try, look up TEFRA and see above regarding Congress.

signing the first ever abortion rights bill in California,

That was before he left the DEM party and changed his view to Pro Life.

Why are you spouting leftest talking points on FR?

Has Little Dickie Morris gotten his grade for accurate predictions out of “F-” territory yet?

Newt, of all people, knows it’s not a “game.”

I’m not in anyone’s camp. I’ll vote for not obama. I get miffed why some of the solid conservatives didn’t toss their hat in. Paul Ryan, I got kids and won’t run, is a LAME excuse. Sorry Paul, our country needs you now. Why did you get into politics if you couldn’t handle the pressure and didn’t want to put yourself out there. He’s not my rep, he’s in the district next to me. But, really? That’s your reason. People in WI are ticked about this. He was ready, and he didn’t want to fill that void. I’m really sad he didn’t step up.

Now, we’ve got another host of wannebe’s trying to be the next candidate. They all suck.

Re your post 17, I agree. The Newt haters have no substantive argument. All they can do is reference “affairs” and yet they don’t give any details so that we can know what a scumbag the man is.

And I fail to see any connection between the man’s personal life and his ability to serve. Please elucidate on the connection.

If you really must know, Newt was shtupping someone who was effectively a junior employee roughly half his age while leading the charge on the Clinton/Lewinski scandal. When his wife found out, he wasn't apologetic or repentent, and even worse asked his wife to simply look the other way to spare him public embarassment.

Newt has proven over and over that he is devoid of personal integrity. That's a problem when you're putting somone in any position of authority, much less making them President of the United States. Newt has shown that where there's personal gain at stake for him, that everything else goes out the window. He doesn't care about the consequences his self-seeking actions may have on other people - even immediate family - much less the rest of us.

His poor judgement, arising IMO from a complete lack of personal integrity, is just as evident in his political career as his personal life. In the past he's shown a willingness to sacrifice our national interests in exchange for personal gain too often and too easily to be trusted with real power.

But Newt G’s stand on immigration is scary!

[steve86]

He would do no better against Obama than McCain and probably a lot worse.

[dfwgator]

I’m holding out for Scott Walker, I just hope and pray the Unions and their willing accomplices in the media don’t destroy him. And if the GOP doesn’t have his back, I’m done with them for good.

[Confab]

I’m hardly spouting leftest talking points, just pointing out the hypocrisy. And get your points straight. Although Reagan was pro life, he signed the abortion bill as a REPUBLICAN governor. It was part of a compromise which he later regretted, but he signed it none the less & California has never looked back.

Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of all time, & certainly the greatest of my lifetime. However, he didn’t have a perfect conservative voting record that some here seem to expect from others. That’s the point.

[YankeeDoodleRebel]

Exactly. Obama must be defeated or the Republic is toast.
