Former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith endorses Newt Gingrich
The Union Leader ^ | 12/03/2011 | Garry Rayno

Posted on 12/03/2011 8:28:08 PM PST by katiedidit1

CONCORD — Former New Hampshire U.S. Sen. Bob Smith is endorsing Newt Gingrich for President.

Smith said in his endorsement, “It is not enough to simply defeat President Obama. We must replace him with an inspirational, experienced, conservative leader, with the guts to challenge and change the establishment. Newt Gingrich is that leader.”

The former senator said 2012 is a critical election that will either usher in an American revival or turn the country into a bankrupt, third world power.

He said conservatives need to do more than simply win the election; they need to make sweeping changes in Washington and the country.

Thank you. The research was apparently done by libertarian neocon (what I copied and pasted with link), and it was good. Was hoping that my tiny bit of rhetoric before that might be of some use to others, too.

Things are looking better with each passing day. If anyone can win this game, it’s Newt.

” ...they will be tossed to the wolves as RINOs and traitors”

Funny, I remember when the term “RINO” actually meant something. Now, apparently, all it means is ‘anyone who doesn’t agree with me 100%’

NIGHT to all and GOD BLESS AMERICA, a new day has dawned. Get some sleep and be prepared for the onslaught of more hateful tomorrows threads.

P.S.: to the NEWT bashers, haters. PFTTTTTTTTT.

Hate is an terribly heavy burden to carry, let it go. Some you win, some you lose.

And Senator Smith was vilified for showing the graphics (why aren't those graphics shown in the media)?

But where has Senator Smith been in the fight against the Democraps Socialist initiatives (a coup of sorts)? What is the value of his endorsement?

Sen. Bob Smith ran for President as a conservative and the RINOs turned on him, in mass - ran him out of the state.

You ask - Who cares about Bob Smith?

Interesting is all the negatives people are raising have already been dealt with long ago...nothing hidden by Newt...and he’s certainly willing to discuss any of the issues people might have...though of course for some anything he might say isn’t going to make a difference...nor any of the facts. They just have a bug up their rear about Newt and it’s going to stay there pretty much.

I don’t know what it is about Santorum. I look at his face and I’m thinking who does he remind me of? He’s kind of mixture of Chevy Chase, whom I deplore, and Gomer Pyle.

Thanks katiedidit1. Here’s a clip of a recent pvt msg here from me to someone I’m pinging here — with edits in brackets:

There are three possible Pubbie tickets, as things look now [IMHO].

Perry - Santorum (balanced for geography, picks up two large states, plus all or almost all of the SW US and the South)

Cain - Bachmann (balanced for gender, skin tone, outsider/insider, south/north, and RINO/CINO/LINO/FINO/Tea Party/conservatives; the ideal ticket from an idealogical view [Cain’s now high-tech lynched right out of the race])

Romney - Gingrich (RINOs’ dream; but I’ll vote for the Pubbie ticket no matter who it is)

"I truly believe that Cain and Palin will endorse Newt"

Cain might, Sarah never will, Newt represents everything Sarah campaigns against in a public servant. No one that opposes crony capitalism and corruption in government could support Newt. In a lesser of two evils vrs Obama the scales will tip slightly in Newt favor, that's about it.

“U.S. Sen. Bob Smith”

If that indeed, is his real name. :-)

I've got a bottle of Glenmorangie older than me, 25 years old when I bought it in 1978.

Only been touched five times: when each of our children was born, when my brother was married, when Reagan beat Carter, and when the Bears won the Super Bowl.

I'm ready for a sip when Newt beats Zero.

Bookmarked for future reference. Want to make a small wager?
