From what I can tell, your "alternative" is apparently an untrustworthy, gun-grabbing, health care insurance-mandate advocating, illegal alien "legalizing" chump for global warming zealots. Of course, he denies all that, today...

From what I can tell, the basis of your disapproval is that you think Gingrich is lying. I won't bother trying to change your mind on that one, though I will tell you my personal opinion, which is that he is the only candidate that is looking at some of the problems we are facing honestly. Immigration would be the prime example. Once you seal the border, get rid of entitlements and enforce the existing laws, there is still the problem of the millions of immigrants who are already here. Ignoring them won't make them go away. Nor will assuming that they'll just "leave on their own." They won't.

On top of that, you are sorely mislead about his health care and environmental positions. Sounds like you are getting your information from his political opponents, without doing any research for yourself.

Finally, I have no idea where your getting he "gun grabbing" accusation from. Gingrich gets an "A" rating from the NRA, and addressed this year's leadership conference.

Given that he LIED TO HIS WIFE when he cheated on her to gratify whatever he thought was more important than his vow before God, yes, I think he's a serial liar, and a clever one too.

which is that he is the only candidate that is looking at some of the problems we are facing honestly.

And now for the cold facts about the dishonest RINO:

Watch what we do, not what we say - John Mitchell

Once you seal the border, get rid of entitlements and enforce the existing laws, there is still the problem of the millions of immigrants who are already here.

LOL, and you think the same guy who supported Bush's closet amnesty plan will DO that?

Nor will assuming that they'll just "leave on their own." They won't.

They have before.

On top of that, you are sorely mislead about his health care and environmental positions. Sounds like you are getting your information from his political opponents, without doing any research for yourself.

Not a bit, and having written two books discussing the topic of regulatory racketeering, I know a LOT more about government environmental management than you would ever pretend to know. Having spent 20 years restoring our land to virtually 100% native plants, I know a lot more about technical environmental issues than you would ever guess. YOU are sorely mislead because you are fool enough to believe what Newt is saying now that he's "changed his mind" (again). What's to prevent him from doing it again? His promises???

Finally, I have no idea where your getting he "gun grabbing" accusation from. Gingrich gets an "A" rating from the NRA, and addressed this year's leadership conference.

Well that just about figures you'd be fool enough to trust the NRA. Please explain why Newt pushed through the Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban in 1996, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders –- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse’s wrist.

When you're done considering why Newt would support a gun bill by Frank Lautenberg, read what GOA has to say and admit that you've been fooled.
