Now that the media and Beltway GOP have decided that we will again have a moderate nominee for President, conservatives are left to scramble for seats at the back of the bus.

Here comes another one, just like the other one.

Did you watch the video? Does any of this concern you? I am disseminating information. Do you not want to know all that you can about a candidate? To put forth a video that reveals Gingrich’s own words: isn’t this what we need to do? I am concerned that we choose the best Conservative Constitutionalist. Aren’t you? After watching this video, do you believe this is Gingrich? Can you explain why?

You might even stand and cheer after you hear what he says after he talks about appointing John Bolton.

I would cheer, except Newt has a habit of saying stuff that is politically expedient. My concern with Newt is that his views change so often on major issues, that I am not sure what he really believes. In a years time will he believe what he is talking about today? He even said in the speech that he will asses issues by changing times.

That is why some of us here are not on the Newt bandwagon and probably won't till we absolutely have to. As long as I have doctrinaire Reagan Conservatives running in the race, I will support them first.

Is this another Ron Paul loving hit piece on Newt’s record? Maybe a rehash of the one the John Birch Society has?

Bolton wouldn't get confirmed and suggesting he'd try to appoint Bolton smacks of pandering to primary voters.

It would be a waste of precious political capital, every penny of which will be needed to move a legislative agenda.

Newt should know better than that.

Bolton knows more about foreign affairs than anyone in DC could learn in a lifetime. He would make an excellent Sec of State or Sec of Defense. Very savvy move on Gingrich’s part.

we will have a near super majority in the Senate after this election, Gingrich could nominate Mickey Mouse and he’d get confirmed.

Gingrich is head and shoulders above everyone else. This country needs a leader badly and he’s the right guy for doing just that. That was an outstanding speech.

I think so, too.

He's the best equipped to take it to the Marxist and the Marxist has to be defeated.

Gingrich knows every subject. He doesn't have to be coached, look at notes or search for words. He's exudes confidence and I think that's why he's leading all his rivals.

Of course Bolton would get confirmed or do you think a GOP Senate would vote against him?

Tell me that you will name Sheriff Joe as Director of Homeland Security if you wish to impress. Otherwise the Jury is still out.

“It would be easy to see Ron Paul in WWII as a Nazi sympathizer.”

It’s pretty easy to see that now.
