So Newt is the new Grant? Seriously?
He will throw conservatives under the bus at the first opportunity that suits him. That said, so will Romney. At this point we will end up with one of them.
Just a loose analogy...
Don’t blow a gasket....
He could certainly stand to read Washington’s Rules of Civility.
Maybe she's trying to tell us that Newt drinks.
Reagan had a way of making people feel that he was on our side and we were on his side.
Sorry, Newtonians, but Newt has a way of alienating people, of making us feel that his fight isn't quite our fight and our fight isn't his.
So if you've grasped that reality - isn't it time to get on board and start pulling the wagon from the right end?

It will probably be Newt, much better than Romney IMHO though ANY Republican is better than Barry.
Grant was a reported Drunk! Great General though!
Here’s the catch. Romney can throw the conservatives under the bus because they haven’t supported him at all during the primary—and everyone knows it. So when he’s President he can run left and say everyone knew I was really a lefty.
Newt on the other hand will have to deal with the backlash of losing his soft support from conservatives. Right now Newt is the safer bet.
The one thing Romney has over Newt though is that he’s actually ran something before. Newt did a good job recapturing the Congress for REPUBLICANS (not necessarily conservatives though).
Too bad Bachman didn’t live up to her potential. But who knows things may swing back around to her if she can speak in motivational sense and not get sucked into the press tricks. That’s the one reason I like Newt he appears to now be able to talk over the press and get his point across without getting stuck in their games.

The hell we will. Third party before EITHER the flip-flopper or the flip-flopping philanderer. I’m the uncommitted independent—and I vote.

I think Newt is more conservative than Romney (which isn’t saying much), but Newt’s real saving grace may be that he backtracks when conservatives hold his feet to the fire. Romney gave his Romneycare an ‘A’ even given the chance to back down.
I’m not saying Gingrich is the best for us, just that we might be able to hold a blowtorch to his feet until 2016.
