You’re right about that.

I’m a Gingrich supporter, but I think generally you’re right that Newt can fly off the handle. Truth is not sufficient, when there are possible international repercussions. I’m trusting that Gingrich will transition from provocative professor to President.

There is no way a sitting President would make such remarks about the Palestinians and still remain credible as an intermediary in any negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

You mean the examples given; "The Evil Empire" and "Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall" notwithstanding, and the additional "Axis of Evil" rhetoric from W?

Why should there be any negotiations with the murdering so-called "Palestinians"? They have chronically declared war on Israel.

The Israelis need to push back, drive them out and confiscate their real estate.

My guess is he never made the call.Valerie Jarrett makes all the important calls and she probably made this one as well. Thats why it got all screwed up! Not that obama would have done any better had he actually made the call.I think the guy is a total incompetent.

Did any of them really articulate something different or dance like a marionette to avoid upsetting the nativists?

You ignore Newt dismissed Sawyer's attempt to saddle him with the Pew Hispanic Center's 15 years.

Anyone know a site with a replay? It wasn’t on local TV here in San Antonio and would like to watch the whole thing.

They should post the video here before the night is over. All the other debates have been posted.

Perry has been way to cautious about his words. He needs to show his
passion and say what is on his mind more, he shines!!!! Military is one
of his passions and that drone truly pissed him off!!!!!

Obama will be the next president. That’s still my expectation regardless of the GOP nominee.

Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see. But it is great to see someone of Newt’s stature stating the truth about the nature of the enemy, ie, the evil doers (to paraphrase another Republican President who spoke the truth about Islamic terrorists).

“I guess that I might be over estimating the intelligence of the voters.”

Remember, this was the same mainstream media that managed to convince a majority of the voters that 4.2% Unemployment under George Bush was “THE WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!”.

It’s important to remember that the majority of leftist propaganda isn’t directed at US, or any other thinking person, for that matter.

It’s directed at the squishy 20% in the middle, who get their news from Oprah, The View, or the network radio news, on the way home from work during Rush Hour.

However, I did read somewhere that Gingrich & Huntsman will do a Lincoln-Douglas debate:

Perhaps you were just listening to Mitt and not Newt.

And Mitt offers nothing but spin.
