Newt Gingrich’s rise to the top of the GOP polls is fueled, in part, by Republicans’ mistrust of Mitt Romney. Romney’s signature Massachusetts health-care law, the model for Obamacare, leads many to wonder whether Romney can challenge the president on this most important domestic issue. But any conservative who opposes Romney because of Romneycare should oppose Gingrich with thrice the intensity: Newt Gingrich is one of the principal abettors of the exploding health-care entitlement state we face today. Indeed, it’s not clear what would be worse for the cause of entitlement reform: Newt’s losing to Obama or Newt’s beating him.

Which one on the couch is newt, since they both believe in living on the tax payers tit.
Newt is just unlikeable, imo. We run Newt as our candidate, I’d expect Obama to get 60% of the women’s vote.
RE: I’ll have to vote for Romney over Newt if it comes down to it.
Talk about exposing oneself as an idiot.
Let me guess, Ron Paul? No?
“I’ll have to vote for Romney over Newt if it comes down to it.”
Freeper exclusive lol...moderates on parade.
More of the right media throwing bombs at Newt in order to elevate Romney.
The Establishment types are overjoyed that Gingrich has risen to be the alternative to Romney. They can hardly contain themselves. There are a few Establishment types who had previously sided with Romney or Perry, who are mildly criticizing him; but they are treating Newt with kid gloves and unlike the Cain for example, they have fully accepted him as front-runner and a legitimate nominee.
Gingrich is one of them.
Newt Gingrich is the poster child for Establishment politics. He is the ultimate insider. He helped build and is significantly responsible for our current, modern corrupt political system.
Newt is playing you, telling you what you want to hear without meaning it. Don't be stupid.
A vote for Newt Gigrich is a vote to perpetuate the corrupt political system that has ruined our economy, government and country.
.
That's what my wife says too, for precisely that reason. Also, Calista as first lady?
Very well said. :)
There are many of us who have followed Gingrich for a long, long time, who are totally against Romney, but who fully realize what Newt is all about.
He is not who or what you think he is. He is totally playing you.
Newt is corrupt and deserves all the bombs, missiles, flames and criticism we can throw at him.
Don't be fooled by him, especially if you are Tea Party member. Please, open your eyes.
.
I’m a women and I have no problem voting for Newt. So your wife things that Obama is more likeable and she’d rather have Michelle in the WH that Calista.
Any woman, or man, for that matter, who thinks that. deserves what happens to this country.
“NO”, looking more and more like I will sit this one out.
Aren’t you one of the Paul fringers that attacked Palin, and then Cain, the two outside conservatives?
So, now we have a conservative that is not a true outsider, this is true. But, the Establishment hates him, you even heard them yelling at the Debate, when Newt zinged him.
LOL, no the GOP E does not like Gingrich, because he has vision and will set his own agenda, not that of the GOP E.
Right, wasn't Newt slammed for saying his legislation would cause Medicare to "wither on the vine" as people switched from Government Healthcare to private advantage plans amd medical savings accounts? Lots of ignorant, deluded people running around these days forming opinions based on a single piece of anecdotal evidence cherry-picked from a guy who likes to brainstorm in public. Not real smart...
“NO”, looking more and more like I will sit this one out.”
Well....bye.
“Neither, thank you.”
Amen. Joining every liberal cause after quitting congress shows poor judgement. Finding individual mandate unconstitutional after 20 years pushing it (once running for president) is progress, but not convincing.
Bull, what will women tell their daughters, look honey all it takes to be first lady is finding the right married man and get into a little office desk action.
Ah yes, the Republican establishment trying to smear Newt while propping up Mitt. Go Newt.
How I miss William Buckley. I have a feeling that he would set some of these Republicans straight on a few matters. I’d love to see him have a little chat with Lindsey Graham. ;-/
I choose Newt over Romney. Period.
