He's baaack!
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is back in the saddle after falling off his horse at the starting line. At least according to one poll (Public Policy Polling), Mr. Gingrich is actually the GOP front-runner.
Many say it's simply Mr. Gingrich's turn to be the not-Mitt contender, now that Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain have had their chances.
But that's not entirely fair. Speaker Gingrich has been relentlessly seducing GOP voters in the debates. Mitt Romney may have been winning on points and technicalities, but Mr. Gingrich has been consistently winning the crowds.

Very good!
Thank you again for posting the videos. I particularly like the Contract video. We have work to do don’tchaknow.
Newt plays life like chess - he's thinking several moves ahead.
He KNOWS obummer will never agree to even ONE 3-hour debate, let alone 13. (obummer, to save face, may agree to one of shorter time, but not the others.)
When obummer refuses the challenge, he loses face - Strike one.
Newt promised obummer that if he doesn't debate, then whenever/wherever obummer goes to speak, Newt will follow with hours and give a rebuttal. (Besides the effect of nullifying obummers speeches, it will become a game everyone - including the media - will follow.
Brilliant.
Cant believe no one seems to follow his strategy beyond step one.
Oh - and to add to that - the media must give each candidate, in the general, equal time. With Newt’s game, they’ll find it hard to not give him equal time - the country will be watching.
Your purity makes us all very proud...
Watching Romney spare off against Obama? :zzz:
Cain, last I checked. We’ve seen what Gingrich can do, and that’s really not all that much.
I want to see what Cain can do, since we’ve already seen the best of Gingrich. It would be nice to have an actual businessman at the helm and not the usual politician.
“Newt has sinned and been forgiven by The Lord ... burn him at the stake!”
LOL. The b*tchslap he delivered to Scott Pelley alone earns him major dispensation miles in my book. :)
In my opionion, Newt is a genuine conservative. Unlike Mitt, he’s not afraid to say it and espouse it. He’s veered off the reservation on occasions but is still at heart a solid Goldwaterite, while Mitt, like his father, would be more like Nixon and Rockefeller than Reagan and Goldwater.
As president, Newt would tear the executive establishment asunder. I can see him actually going to the various bureaucratic offices and asking people “what is it you do here? And does this need to be done?” That’s his strength. I think he would streamline things down as he did when he took over the House.
That’s all well and good, but that doesn’t mean we should stick our heads in the sand and ignore Newt’s myriad departures from conservatism.
Newt was part of the movement in both parties to paint cap and trade as inevitable. I think that raises serious questions about either his allegiance or his judgment.
Cap and trade is the holy grail of crony capitalism: a global fascist cabal using the environment as an excuse to grab their cut of every bit of economic activity in the world.
I see so your psychology is no one is allowed to make an income at all?
You do realize he owned or was 1 of the principles of a corporation known as “Newt Inc “ and they were doing a million or more dollars a year so now thats not allowed? Only demoncrats are allowed to make money working for Uncle Sam?
I guess Boeing must fold up its blanket, an all the members of congress whose wives work in different companies have to quit?
Are you really that naive? Or just a democrat hiding in a conservative t-shirt????
Of course you are right. I stand corrected.
So lets try again under your concept of capitalism.
So under your concept of capitalism, it matters not how you make money so long as you make lots of money.
Sell dope, run abortion clinics, sell pornography, run a whore house...anything goes as long as it makes a lot of money.
The above examples are of course extreme but they make the point that it is important how one makes money and in politics telling the world you have one set of convictions while making money doing the opposite is not admirable.
You might read the post by jpsb. His post is much more convincing, reminds us of some facts, is logical and has none of the venom shown in yours, which is totally devoid of any facts or convictions of any kind.
As a matter of fact yours, if taken seriously, would reflect on all conservatives as it paints them as approving of any activity so long as it makes lots of money.
Maybe you are the anti conservative mole?
Hey, Ron Paul is NOT my candidate.
... And your style of impurity has gotten us to where we are...
Enough.
Newt is a GD liberal
Romney is a GD liberal
Newt does get a little cocky at times, doesn’t he?
My only worries are not that he likes the ladies, or that Callista likes the Tiffany stuff, or that he’s made some money in a consulting firm, but
how does he really feel about green stuff and how firmly would he attack the way the EPA is ruining the free market economy?
And does he really think anyone should be forced to buy healthcare? Or was that just another oversized brain in the think tank/consulting firm.
It disturbs me mightily to read posts like that. Hope you are just venting.
You want to elect someone to ‘see what he can do?’
Not thinking that’s a good idea.
Reminds me of the Pelosi quote, ‘pass the bill to see what’s in it.’
I am not just venting.
I will not vote for a liberal POS be they DEM or GOP. I just F’ing refuse.
Ill vote for Cain as well.
It was probably sarcasm...
I know, “progressive” GOP hacks dont have the capacity to understand sarcasm....
That being said, it's usually considered to be the lowest form of humor. On boards like this it's identified thusly:
