Newt's a smart guy- With things going his way, I didn't understand why he would make that controversial statement yesterday. Perhaps, he has decided the rest of the conservatives have been disabled-- and he's now aiming to take the Establishment GOP from Romney.

[RetiredArmy]

With all these low poll numbers, I guess Cain is satisfactorily destroyed by the MSM.

[TBBT]

It will be interesting to see how much of an impact last nights debate will have on this. Probably won’t see the real effect of that for a couple of weeks.

[MNJohnnie]

Stupid party indeed.

Good luck electing the Newt, the guy who loses independents by 10 points to O elected.

When the 0 Campaign PR machine is done with him, Newt will be luck to win 200 EVs.

The "Newt Gingrich for President" ping list!

If you want ON or OFF of the ping list, just let me know!

To whom it may concern: If you wish to give me BREAKING news, links, information, or tidbits for the purpose of (perhaps) having me post it at FR, your confidentiality WILL be kept by yours truly. I will tell NOBODY the source of my information.



Conservatism, experience, results, eloquence, statesmanship, knowledge.
SERIOUS solutions to SERIOUS problems!
The Conservative who practices Capitalism and gets hated for it!

---Newt Gingrich 2012.

I would not count Cain out or anyone except Huntsman and Paul. Pauls ridiculous foreign policy is killing him. Huntsman is the most liberal of the group and is being supported by the msm and the reason is will be included in the debates.

If one was intellectually honest Newt did not shoot himself in the foot on immigration. His detractors will of course promote lies and half-truths about what Newt said in order to support their candidate.

IMHO the field is still open and a lot will happen down the road. I am glad to see Mitt still stuck in the low 20’s.

Newt knows exactly what he’s doing...he has the stage for revealing this either way one might view it. And it’s over a Holiday ta boot. Who’s watching the new spin? Few I chance...by the time the media wants to bash Newt over this the storm will hvae calmed and hopefully reasoned opinios will be out there to debate this. It was good timing to drop this out there right now.

[Gaffer]

Why, as Speaker of the US House of Representatives, commit adultery on his 2nd wife with a woman twenty-odd years his junior, all at the height of the William Jefferson Clinton imbroglio ala BJs,adultery, lying to Federal Grand Juries, etc..... He’s an arrogant asswipe that lives outside of himself, not responsible for his actions....”It is because I LOVED this country SO much, SO hard that I had to d!ck around on my wife and totally undermine my condemnation of Slick Willie’s performance in office....”

Top it off with “ I’m humane, I’m smart, all you suckers gonna have to live with the illegal Mexicans.....”

Give me a break...

“With things going his way, I didn’t understand why he would make that controversial statement yesterday”

I’m not going to say he was right or wrong on his “stand.” What I will say is that I believe he was just being honest and saying what he believed to be correct; whether he is right or wrong on the issue.

[Logical me]

Good news. Newt for President

[Lady Lucky]

With things going his way, I didn't understand why he would make that controversial statement yesterday. Perhaps, he has decided the rest of the conservatives have been disabled-- and he's now aiming to take the Establishment GOP from Romney.

Or perhaps sincerity, principle and courage. Is it impossible that he could be presenting himself honestly to the voters?

Push polls give you the results you pay for.

[TexasFreeper2009]

worthless poll since it was done before Gingrich revealed himself to be for amnesty last night.

[Mechanicos]

Another biased professional marketing poll in favor of the democrats. They know we will not line up to vote for a Rino. and Newt is a major Rino. Sorry Netroots.

[Marcella]

Newt can rid us of Obama and save this country. That’s the bottom line.

[Brian_Baldwin]

Doesn’t matter what the poll says today, give it a few more days and take another poll ... Newt did it to himself with his comments last night related to illegal immigration .. he just lost me, he is going to lose the nomination now... I suppose some fools can try to revisit the Reagan amnesty to try and make an excuse for this, really stupid in one way, fundamental mistiming and blunder - the situation isn”t the same as back when Reagan made a mistake... there were 6 million illegals back then ... today there are more than 20 million ... probably 25 to 30 million... And do you notice how the establishment has been using the 12 million illegals number since Bill Clinton 1992? Your telling me the number hasn’t changed since 1992? Newt won”t be the nominee now, and ask him to come to my town and clean up all the spray painted crap all over our towns and parks from Mexican gangs.. Newt blew it.

FIRST OF - we have to remember the insanity of the current debate formula. Listen to the link at the bottom and THINK, next time you watch the left’s controlled debates.

In the meantime, here’s Newt’s immigration stand. SAVE this to repost from here on out and email to everyone.

at this link, the first ‘solution’ Newt has listed is “Immigration” (It’s the same stance he’s had for years -)

http://www.newt.org/solutions

Excerpt:
“SOLUTIONS

1. Control the border.

The United States must control its border. It is a national security imperative.

Every nation has the right to control its border. Historically, every country that has been determined to control their border has been able to do so.

Controlling the border is a matter of resources and will.
...[that’s his first step - CONTROL THE BORDER...and he has the plan to do it, it isn’t just words.]
Solutions con’t -
“...If necessary, we would move one-half of the 23,000 Washington-area Department of Homeland Security bureaucrats to the Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona borders.

A border control strategy must be responsive to the unique threats that exist at different parts of the frontier. This strategy must include round-the-clock drone flights to monitor activity, multi-layer, strategic fencing in urban areas, and vastly improved communication between state and federal authorities.”

Newt deals in realities, not sound bites. Noe asks the others - “Well, good. How do you plan to implement it?”

CONTROL THE BORDER is his step #1:

Newt’s debate with Cain was an overwhelming success.

People need to understand the nature of their dog & pony debates - You do not have time to outline your plan in 30-60 seconds - it gets cut in half - deliberately, most time - and everyone runs with the half truth, EVEN FR’s who SUPPORT him! WE cannot be uninformed in this election.

Here’s Newt in 2007,speaking at the National Press Club, on the subject of these skewed debates. (Might I suggest everyone save Newt’s sight and become conversant with his stand on the issue.

Newt speaking abut immigration at the American Enterprise Institute in 2006 - in case anyone is going to waste time telling me he’s changed his position.

Paul was 16% in this poll

santorum, cain, bachmann, perry 6%

[maine-iac7]

BTW - Newt has several times, on Afghanistan, mentioned the first thing that needs to be done is to change the ROE (Rules of Engagement.) NO ONE questions him on that, I suspicion, because none of them - moderators or candidates even know what Rules Of Engagement means, let alone the new ROE obummer put in right after he took office that have given the advantage in the field to the Taliban - from letting them have first shot, to often denying or delaying - with deadly consequences - air cover to troops pinned down.

These new ROE have resulted in over 63 % of our KIA’s in the 10 yrs of war, being just under obummer’s regime.
In the first year, 2009, of the new ROE, DOUBLE the number of our troops were killed than in the previous worst year. In 2010, it TRIPLED. This year’s not done yet. (chart below)

crickets. silence from the media who used to show a tally every day. Silence from the American people who don’t do their homework. The information is on the Internet.

Newt knows our troops cannot win with one hand tied behind their back - they aren’t, in many cases, even allowed to have their weapons loaded in camp!.

Forget “Heart and Minds” - let the soldiers FIGHT. Let them defend themselves. Give them the troops and equipment they need to get the job done. Newt understands this.

BTW - how many of you know that in the spring of 2010, obummer gifted the Taliban with the strategic valleys in the Kunar - just had our troops pulled out and left caches of weapons that the Taliban crowed over and vowed to use to kill our soldiers - and they did. Our soldiers, in those valleys, were keeping the Tallies from easy access down to Kabul by using the mountain passes from Pakistan through the Kunar Province and down to Kabul. Anyone ever wonder why the uptick of fighting and bombs in Kabul. crickets.

chart showing KIA per year - what changed that increased the numbers so dramatically once obummer took office? the deadly ROE that favors the Taliban. and none dare call it treason. crickets

Newt knows the first thing to do is change the ROE. Let our soldiers defend themselves, give them air power when needed, give them the men they need and get the job DONE
Democrats do not have the guts to kill the enemy - so OUR troops die. This regime had the blood of many of our soldiers on their hands.
