I feel your pain on Newt, but you should know a few things.
First, he is running very strong among tea party voters in Iowa and nationwide. Came in a strong second to Cain at the Florida Tea Party Convention straw poll event.
Second, he has explained NY 23 and the Pelosi global warming thing - now, you may not like or accept it, but he has addressed it.
Your points are valid, but they have been addressed and a lot of tea party folks are willing to look back to 94.
Do u not understand, he is part of the same DC Class (Past and Present) that has caused this country’s death spiral?
Ok, he’s a lot better than Obama. And so are all the other GOP candidates. And sure I will vote for any GOP candidate.
But how is that going to stop this death spiral when we are a divided country. It won’t. The supercommittee is deadlocked.
The house is voting on a phoney balanced budget admendment.
Ok, so we get a majority in the senate. Then u will have the McCain and the 14 gangsters raise their ugly heads to clog up the system.
An endless cycle that will do nothing to stop the coming collapse.
Is it that people are willing to ignore everything that happened from 1996-2011 or just that they've forgotten about it or never knew it?
He's got a few more issues than a couch and that scuzzy babe. The guy wrote a friggin' book on global warming for God's sake. He advocated strongly for cap and trade. He pushed Medicare Part D. He told us that the era of Reagan was over in 2008. There are myriad other issues, but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
I'm not 100% against him, but I think his past combined with his penchant for foot-in-mouth disease will take the shine off him pretty quickly.
Newt has already done more for the conservative cause in this country than most men will ever do. He's already a hero. The questioning of whether or not he's perfect is stupid. Has he made poor judgements? You betcha. Has he done anything in his personal life that disqualifies him from being a great president? No.
Are other Republican candidates also good candidates? Yes, especially if the standard is Zero. I would be a better president that Zero. My next door neighbor would be a better. My Aunt Floozy would be better. Any American Citizen who loves his country would be far better than the idiot we elected last time.
Imagine Newt as president, with a conservative house and senate. It's a pretty thing.
Even Sarah Palin lauds Newt. She has had higher praise for Newt than for any of the other candidates. She knows that the media did a horrendous hit job on Newt and she knows what that's like. Some of you on this site believe the media's version of Newt. I never fell for it. I watched them tear down a great man while the Republican party stood by and did their usual nothing.
You small minded freepers, who are doing you best to assist the media in the destruction of Newt, are not conservatives and should go read a good book. I suggest the New Testament with emphasis on the gospels. You bible thumping freepers who sit in judgement of Newt's sins, cast the beam out of thine own eye for a change.
