Yeah, everyone is RINO according to you, inluding Sarah Palin, so I don’t give a rat’s patootie what you think, new Frantzie = first on every thread.

Gingrich exudes confidence and knowledge that GOP voters like.

The fact that he can articulate his policies, drive you and others nutz, but that’s too damn bad. We don’t have a perfect candidate, not one vote has been cast in any primary.

Polls are polls. There’s no telling yet, that Michele Bachmann, (my personal favorite) or one of the other might come sailing through to the top, so hand-wringers and nay sayers like you aren’t worth spit.

RINOS are Olympia Snow and Susan Collins, FYI, not Sarah Palin, you Debbie Stossel troll.

He is a liberal. Gingrich was a conservative once. He changed. He won’t be getting my vote.

I will never vote for an Open Borders Republican!


It keeps looking to me, more and more, that Newt is tacking center, out of the Republican establishment playbook concerning always tacking to the midpoint, no matter how far left your opponent goes.

Kneejerk Centrist Delusion Syndrome.

RINOs would opt to aim for the middle between God and Satan.

It's like a drunk driving his car towards a bridge abutment at a fork in the road and trying to split the difference between going left and right.

RINO rule #1: always compromise. Before the game, during the game, after the game is over.

RINOs are all honorary diplomates of the Neville Chamberlain School of Strategy, degreed with double majors in Life and Death Situations as well as Minutiae of Daily Life; this is where they learn to never take a stand, stick their head in the sand and join their enemies as a way of not losing wars.

I love the way Newt is so smart and could thrash Obama in a debate. He has "heard" the electorate and is pushing a message that he has conservative viewpoints... but...

But as to what he will do once in office... he does have a lot of conservative-sounding material on his website, but he's also got a few things out there now that make me very nervous about 4 years of him signing legislation and appointing judges.

IMHO.

Well, then, maybe you should start promoting your candidate instead of tearing down ours...

I go by the candidate’s record. I want a conservative to head our party.

When I find one, I’ll let the world know. Getting rid of the frauds in the Republican Party is only half the job.

The rest is demanding excellence and someone who puts this country first. A “tad better” than Obama is simply not good enough.

I expect more.

I’ll stop RINOs. That’s the first thing.

At this point I can’t make heads or tails what he’s honestly for. I do know what the Krieble Foundation is for though, and he’s said multiple times he supports their plans/policies. No thanks.

Gingrich will hit all all the right notes to get the nomination. Then he will swing left for the general election. My guess is he’ll push moderate policies if he got elected, like Bush did. I would be surprised if he was bold like Reagan. I have my reasons not to prefer to gamble with our country’s future.

We can’t take 4 more years of obama either. So, if the choice is between the Marxist and the RINO, I guess I’ll have to go with the RINO, while holding my nose.

“At this point I can’t make heads or tails what he’s honestly for.”

I’m not sure that it matters what he’s personally for... Although I can tell you. He’s a master politician. He’s “for” what ever the electorate wants him to be “for”.

I would prefer that he didn’t have a personal opinion. The President is elected to support the masses. Not his church, not his wife, not special interest groups.

He’s Romney with a bad haircut.

You don't even understand the difference between pro-life (Gingrich) and an abortionist (Romney), goldstatednc.

IMHO...

His healthcare, after being “negotiated” with Democrats in Congress, would be ObamaCare Lite.

I think it’s very hard to predict how he would deal with islam domestically, as well as other issues.

I guess that’s why I see him and Mittens both as more risky than a Cain or Bachmann, who would be much more likely to move towards conservative policies on all fronts to one degree or another.

ALL State Polls listed EXCEPT New Hampshire were taken the day of the last debate or earlier.

Time will tell whether Republican voters love ILLEGALS AS MUCH AS NEWT!

I suspect not!

The Republican Party is a fraud.

Where have you been?

TEA Party Patriots, like me and millions of others are saving the GOP, but not if the GOP-E nominates Romney!

In order to garner votes from Latinos, for his own special interests, Newt Gingrich has sold whatever was left, of his American soul.

Ya'll can have this traitor. Sam Houston, Davey Crockett, Jim Bowie, and all the rest who sacrificed their lives to prevent this invasion onto American soil, are rolling over in their graves. They must be thinking how stupid they were. We all died just so some politician could come along to make Santa Anna's invasion legal? I want my life back.

Logic says since Gingrich & Bachmann are hated the most by the democrats, those two will energize more democrats to vote in general, than say Perry, Cain, or even Santorum.

Why give boost to opposition turnout in a close election?
To win election, better strategy is to discourage and demoralize the democrat party voters. Can any Newt supporters explain how he will discourage democrats from voting against Newty?
