Newt Gingrich could very well be the GOP nominee for one very simple reason: He doesn't give a damn. He doesn't care what the media says about his campaign. He doesn't care that you shouldn't say Barney Frank should be arrested. He doesn't mind telling a CBS debate moderator he's lying...He couldn't give a flying fill-in-the-blank!
I've been saying for more than a year that the person who defeats the Billion Dollar Democrat will not do it with great speeches or flashy ad campaigns or by delivering a glib line on Jay Leno's couch. It's not going to be about with whom the voters want to have that proverbial beer. The person who defeats Barack Obama will do so in the debates.
In order to defeat Obama in the debates, the GOP nominee MUST be willing to stand at a podium on national television and do the following two things over and over: Tell the truth about the president and force him to run on his record.
It will fall upon the Republican nominee to force Obama to once and for all enlighten us about the many years of his academic life which have been happily redacted by the leftist media; to tell the world who he socialized with and to whom he was drawn ideologically.
The nominee must make Obama run against the NOMINEE and not congress, banks and so many fatcats. The nominee must use words like redistribution, apologist, transparency, mandate, fast, furious, socialism, division and class warfare. The nominee must make the president refute these words with facts not rhetoric. The nominee will have to chant "jobs-jobs-jobs" like a eastern chant, and remind people of the president's description of middle America as "clingers."

Question is, does he give a flying blink about you or I?
He’za smart cookie, but my take after years of following news and interviews with and about Newt, he’z an elitest, globalist, political animal.
The one thing that really bothers me, Newt touts English should be the official language of government, yet goes down to Mexico, addresses a Mexican crowd regarding immigration reform...in fluent Spanish.
That video came out years ago and I've never forgotten it.
Newt stepped down from Congress under a cloud of scandal. The boy was sleeping around with his staff members, when his wife was suffering with cancer.
There are also reports of Newts two $500k lines of credit at Tiffanys which would serve only to show he'z NOT like the guy next door. Not trying to judge the guy, no ones perfect. I like Newt for his witt, candor, intellect, but in the end, I think the dems will pick him apart on credibility in the general.
I think Newt was burned by the attacks of the left and the media and he doesn’t want it to happen again, so he skates a fine line of political correctness (global warming, mandatory particiation in socialized medicine) in an effort to appear, or even become more moderate. It seems that he started with all the right ideas when he emerged as a Representative, but that life has beaten him into accepting the dominant media paradigms in many cases. One can only hope he finds the old Newt that railed against big government in special orders and abandons the spell of political correctness that seems to have come over him since he was forced out.
Newt is intelligent, well read, great debater, connected, experienced. BUT Newt is on the wrong team. He is a committed Globalist. (Traitor)
He supported AGW.
He would not slay the Federal Beast if elected President, which is the only path out for the nation. He would push (not lead) us into a Global Currency and Government. He believes he will be one of the winners in that scam, because he is smarter than the rest of us.
I'd still take him over Newt. Let's find someone else.
Newt governed as the most conservative Speaker of the House in the modern era.
Newt kept his promises in the Contract With America. Newt in his battle over the budget with Bill Clinton shut down the federal government TWICE, he forced a balanced Federal Budget and he reformed welfare. Show me anyone other than Reagan that has done more for conservatives in the last 50 years then Newt.
Newt is the only candidate who follows Reagan’s 11th Commandment.
I would like to see Newt debate Obama and I don’t believe he is insincere. He’s an intellectual and a man who has made some mistakes but the smears on here are unjustified. Keep in mind the Dems have lined up an entire army of people, the media, the Party bigwigs, the liars, the cheaters running the polls. Redistricting is going on across the Country by the Democrats, no one seems aware of their subversions, they quietly go about undermining fair elections and have, for decades, lied and cheated their way into office. I don’t follow the media’s attacks on every Republican candidate but it has become, sadly, an important tool to reelect Obama. I like Newt and will support him.
So who do you support?
So who do you support?
So who do you support?
Ah yes, the innuendo and mischaracterization ploy from yet another n00b.
So you are not going to vote thereby allowing Obama to win again? Who do you support? And don’t say you are going to write in a name.
Blast them with everything you have!
Pillsbury doughboy but deep fried. Not meant in a disparaging manner. Love me some biscuits and gravy.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
Would really like for that to happen. Cain would be my first choice but really like Newt’s demeanor and ability in debates.
Well you know damned well that just ain’t gonna happen! Great if it would but get hold of yourself and come back to reality.
So who do you support?
Eternal ignorance!
