No, I don't think he wrote that at all. He feels Mitt will be beaten by Obama.
"For reasons I've laid out previously Romney will be an easy opponent for Obama to conquer in a general election match-up."
He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like me.
I don't feel any need to compare him to Washington, Truman, William Wallace, Patton, Davy Crockett, or Obi-Wan Kenobi, as do the adherents of another one-time wouldbe candidate.
Getting tired of the journalists underestimating Gingrich. Americans are STARVED for an intelligent candidate. Newt remained cool last night despite the tough questions on marriage, infidelity, etc. He answered honestly.
Yes, Newt will beat Obama. Newt is the guy Coulter, Rove and Noonan never thought would get above single digit polling numbers; he lacked money, he had too much baggage; he lacked organization; evangelicals and Tea Party folks would not endorse him..what happened? he is SOARING. He is a little Churchillian...I think of the lady telling Churchill that he was drunk and Winston answered back..”madam I may be drunk but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly” or something to that effect...lol. Do I think Newt would say that? no but would Newt shoot a stunner at a fellow debator that would almost be the equivalent of that statement? yes...he is a stun gun
You gotta let that go. I love Palin's guts and her history of taking on entrenched corrupt interests, but she would not be able to recover from the image painted of her by the MSM and the GOP establishment.
We have to choose among the candidates still in the race. Wishful thinking will not change that.
Perfect.
BTW your screen name sure is fun to type, katiedidit1.
Are bears catholic?
No. He's Richard Nixon.
Seconded.
Americans have come to despise intelligence because it is so damn rare. We The People, ourselves, have been so dumbed down since the age of the Founders we can barely screw in the light bulb by comparison. (Now, even the light bulbs are getting smart and dangerous.) Intelligence is openly mocked, in favor of the flavors the elite media disguise as such and pass off.
Chances are that Newt’s “Good Newt” will be more prevalent in the future because of Calista. Figure out Calista and we may have a clearer picture of the new Newt. He seems very happy and generally more humble overall than in the past. Confident and happy. I like it.
and I would vote for Nixon over Obama.
and I would vote for Nixon over Obama.
Of course you would.
Personally, given a choice between a baseball bat to the skull and a crowbar to the knee I’ll choose “none of the above.”
You are so right Rita. The selected intellectuals are the media favorites and that applies to both the democrats and republican media darlings. When Newt blew old Sour Kraut the hammer away...I knew we had a tough candidate.
Nixon did a lot of good things as president and I have no problem in stating that...Obama has done nothing but damage and some is going to be very hard to UNDO
Yeah, but Nixon was also a liberal, one who squandered the political power of the “silent majority.”
Just like Gingrich squandered the political power of the “Republican revolution” of 1994.
Disagree with you 100% but not going into a lengthy historical debate with you over Nixon or Newt. I am delighted that so many Tea Party folks, evangelicals and republicans are supporting Gingrich.
Nixon remained active however, low profile and behind the scenes, and when 1968 came around he won a narrow but definite victory, followed four years later by a huge landslide.
After they drove Newt out of the Congress in 1999, the Left obviously believed they had finished him off as a political force. Ignored him for years.
Newt stayed active however, refused to lay down. He has continued to be the man of ideas and a questioner of the status quo.
Newt has the potential to recapitulate the Nixon performance, and unlike Nixon he knows how to handle the hostile press. But for Watergate Nixon would have been counted a very successful president. Newt has the same opportunity, and is not likely to pull a Watergate.
I don’t know about that. He seems to me to have a great capacity for turning victory into defeat.
Our money is on the NEWT-inator!
He will not back down. He will do more and he will do it better than any of them.
Anyone just not voting or comming out for the other side, because they did not get their first choice of candidate, is a traitor.
Kick their ass!
The comparison is Gingrich is Chamberlain.
