BREAKING: Sources tell FOX 5 News that Herman Cain will endorse Newt Gingrich Monday for the GOP Presidential Nominee
Wrong. I have followed Newt very closely over the years. I have studied is ego. If he wins, he will be rabid for "government" solutions to AGW.
Newt is lying when he states he has changed his position on AGW. He is just pandering for votes. He is like most D.C. Pols.
Look up his recent interview on Levin's show. It's painful to listen how he "wants" to still believe in the "crisis" of climate change. No hint from Newt of the absolute fraud of the AGW cabal.
I am certain, if elected, he will push carbon reduction and other AGW measures.
Newt is a technocrat at heart and technocrats love solving non-existent problems with grandiose big government solutions. It feeds their enormous egos.
With that said, Newt would be immeasurably better than Mitt. Newt would easily get my vote, but I will expect he will disappoint us on many fronts. Still, he would be more conservative than the two Bushes by far.
Newt could be a great President if he truly embraced slashing government and reducing it in absolute terms. I don't think it's in his DNA to take the truly bold steps.
I will not vote for a RINO in the primary, regardless of Mr. Cain’s endorsement, however, if Gingrich gets the nomination, I will reluctantly vote for him in the general.
no that was Bachmann remember?...or whatever, it’s always something conspiratorial
...sad to say...average freeper shot calling this primary season would result in a foreclosed and starving bunch were they gamblers for a living with the same precision the majority here is predicting winners or even candidates for that matter
so far we (me too) have shot our wad on a NEVER RAN ANYHOW
and they (not me) on a DROPPED OUT
I for one hope we do better with Snewt ...if he does become homeboy here
Newt is like Last Chance Texaco before Romneyville case nobody has noticed
Newt is like Last Chance Texaco before Romneyville case nobody has noticed
Perhaps, but the difference deals in shades of grey for me. I would have preferred that he didn't endorse any of them. I suppose when it comes down to it his conservatism is for sale just like so many others who practice politics as their religion. At least I hope Cain got a good promise from Newty for his endorsement.
HUD secretary, if I had to guess.
Why not. After all the VP is the gag prize. It is about as valuable as a cupie doll prize at a carnival.
It's all about the ABO candidate. aka the lesser of the two evils as usual.
That would be a good bet I too believe.
NOT GONNA HAPPEN...
rt @robertcostaNRO Reliable sources tell me that Cain will NOT hold a presser on Monday 2 endorse Gingrich or any candidate

ABC: How do you respond to Republicans who say...
if you don't draw the distinctions with Mitt Romney
and others who are attacking you...
If YOU don't point out what THEIR perceived vulnerabilities are...
Barack Obama and the Democrats sure aren't going to show
the same reluctance.
And YOU'RE doing OBAMA a favor by staying positive...
[Newt looked puzzled at that long winded question, since the
reporter was clearly implying that HE WILL NOT be the nominee]
[Newt shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head, implying that was a dumb question]
Gingrich: They're not going to be the nominee...
I mean, I don't have to go around and point out
the inconsistencies of people who aren't going
to be the nominee. They're not going to be the nominee
ABC: YOU'RE going to be the nominee?
Gingrich: I'm going to be the nominee.
..................................................
And ONLY that out-of-context last sentence plus what follows,
is what ABC reported, and shared with other MSM.
Most people will NEVER hear the reporter ask...
YOU'RE going to be the nominee?
Nixon, LBJ, Humphrey, Ford, Mondale, Bush, Dole, Gore all became the Presidential nominee after being the VP or VP nominee.
I’m not a Gingrich ‘hater’ but I’m definitely not a supporter.
Thx
8 out of 44. Yeah, tell me all about it.
“The “smartest guys in the room” got us into the mess we’re in. Do you really want another?”
Yeah. We DO. We can’t survive another four years of a clueless imbecile like Obama.
This makes sense, actually. Cain’s main weakness was also his strength; his lack of Washington experience.
Newt was the one among the other guys who had Washington experience, yet was philosophically closest to Herman on the issues.
3 months later tweet: Newt dubs Cain VP.
Cain endorsed Romney last time around...and he might again! I think in a few weeks it’ll be hard to find recent Cain news on google. Media will consider him irrelevant. And by the time the primaries get started, scales will have fallen from the eyes of his supporters.
Cain’s contribution has been to show us how quick people are (even sensible, politically mature conservatives) to fall under the spell of a superficially charming huckster who, like a certain Music Man, “can’t read a note of music!”
Brilliant plan.
