“Newt’s already tried that once regarding Romneycare. Romney shut him down completely when he (Romney) stated that he got the idea of a government mandate to purchase healthcare insurance from Newt’s support of the federal government forcing me to buy something. Newt had absolutely no response to it.
Don’t get me wrong. I have no use for either Romney or Newt. Neither will be able to go after Obama regarding Obamacare, as Obama will just say he was doing what Romney and Newt supported, and followed their lead on the subject.”
I have to admit, you bring up an interesting point. I think it’s more along the lines of not doing debate because his opponent set up the terms. If Romney set it up, he would be inviting Gingrich over.
I also agree with the Healthcare part, if Gingrich does stumble to go after Romney on the wrong issues, the whole debate hurts the GOP more than it has to, it also wouldn’t make either candidate look all that smart.
I don’t like Romney, but I believe he belongs back in accounting and corporate services, not in the presidency, but then again, I am stuck in a dilemna given what I know about Gingrich, his reckless spending, bounced checks, resigning instead of facing up to his ethics allegations, and even more, all while he was holding office as Speaker of the House. I know that either Obama will pound Gingrich as unfit to be president with these facts about his own personal corruption, or if Gingrich can outsmear Obama, he will give a possible half-crack job unless I am wrong and his reckless spending tendencies have been cured. Either way, Newt’s got baggage, and even if he is a RINO, it still worries me.
