Socialist? yeah, right. He wants to cut taxes by 30 percent. I’ll take a ‘socialist’ or whatever crap label you want to stick on Newt any day of the week.

Too many people on FR have a man-crush on Newt, and are sticking with him no matter what they discover about him. The question I have is why did none of them liked Newt when Cain and Perry were sitting on top and Newt was in the single numbers? If Newt was so great why wasn't he their man then?

The only thing I will say to excuse Roosevelt’s handling of the Depression is that the Depression was a time when very little was known about economics. Obama doesn’t have that excuse.

If that does happen it will be Romney/Gingrich’s fault. Anyway, big difference: 0bamacare, Romneycare, FDR-Lover, whatever.

the greatest Prez in 20th Century

Best three Presidents we've ever had:
1) Washington
2) Reagan
3) Lincoln (maybe)
I think in that order (Washington and Reagan are real close).

Our worst Presidents?
1) Obama
2) FDR (or close to it)

How can America be so divided? How can FDR best the best and worst POTUS of all time? How can Leftists deny that Reagan was anything but a great President?

The polarization of America (and the world). I think we're near the end of the age.

It's 2008 all over again.

Yup. It's another (chubby) white-haired wrinkly dude against The One Who we have waited for. The only difference is this WHWD is better than the first one and people have had four years to assess TOWWHWF.

Conservatism is synonymous with the Founders, limited govt and the Constitution.

Agreed. But there's an argument that Gingrich's record in the House was that of cutting government. I hope that's right or else I'm back looking for someone else.

But worst case, I'll vote for Newt over "The One" any day.

I agree with all your points, but I am trying to remain hopeful that we can prove ourselves worthy of Gods grace.

Newt is on a mission to sink the Republican Party.

The Republican Party didn't like Reagan and is probably the reason "The One" is currently in the WH. I wouldn't mind seeing real conservative representation rather than this shill of a party.

If someone like Jim DeMint had run, none of this would have happened.

If you trust in Jesus you ARE worthy of His grace because He made us worthy. Take heart, look up, He’s coming for us soon.

God is at work behind the scenes in ways that are sometimes hard to understand.

Daniel 2:21 And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings:

Daniel 4:17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and sets up over it the basest of men.

I love Reagan and believe he is definitely one of our best Presidents. But I have to respectfully disagree with one point. Washington stands alone by far, then all the others.

Obama will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most EVIL, and the most destructive of all Presidents. 2012 will be our last chance to stop this evil man from fulfilling his evil plans.

It was not an attack, it was a retort after Romney suggested Newt return money he legally made in the private sector.

"Realpolitik Wilsonian"

No $h!t? Did he really say that?

Done. Out. Ballgame.

Will vote 3rd party or write in Sarah if he is the nominee.

Anyone considering nominating this turkey should have their head examined.
