American can't take 2 left leaning parties and no balance, which is what we'd have if the Gingrich/Romney gang gets in charge.
Damn the peck sniffs, full steam ahead!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
I could not agree more.
Sorry, pecksniffs.
This issue has puzzled me. I’m determined to vote my conscience in the primary (havnen’t yet determined who that will be) and vote for whomever is nominated in the general.
But the tearing down of each candidate puzzles me. No one is going to fit the whole bill. Lately, even on FR, I know most would hate to see Romney, but then the piling on of Gingrich occurs. So you don’t like this about this candidate, and you don’t like that about that candidate...but reality has to set in at some point and face the fact we are going to have an imperfect candidate. The negative talk seems conterproductive to me.
Instead of stating why we won’t vote for someone, maybe we should start observing why we will vote for a particular candidate. I’m getting tired of all the negatives, and I think it’s playing into the democrats hands...the pundits are the worst.
Can you not see the onslaught against Gingrich by the GOP establishment. They despise the man.
He is getting now what Palin got 4 years ago.
since a lot of folks like to pull Newt quotes out of his past to show he’s not conservative, I think a couple from this article are worth reviewing:
“It is impossible to maintain civilization with 12-year-olds having babies, with 15-year-olds killing each other, with 17-year-olds dying of AIDS and with 18-year olds getting diplomas they cant read.
I have two grandchildren Maggie is 11, Robert is 9, I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time theyre my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.
just sayin...
NEWT / PALIN 2012
Get ready for the bumper stickers
Joe Biden needs to exit stage left and remove his residue from our future VP’s residence, otherwise known as Sarah Palin’s future residence
“Can you not see the onslaught against Gingrich by the GOP establishment. They despise the man.
He is getting now what Palin got 4 years ago.”
That is exactly what is happening. Newt is his own man and will not suck up to the establishment.
1) Sit on a couch with nancy pelosi and go on and on about how man made globull warming is real and how Conservatives needed to come around to the settled science of anthropogenic globull warming.
2) You state over and over... even stating that it ALWAYS GETS YOU IN HOT WATER WITH THE RIGHT... that the GREATEST President of the last Century was... not Ronald Reagan... oh no sireee... it was joe stalin’s BFF fdr. He said it on so many occasions that it surpasses reruns of Gilligan’s Island.
3) You support the individual mandate... the cornerstone of the foundation of obamacare.
Now for some real truth on this newt fellow. This is from FREE REPUBLIC from 2010. It is a long read but well worth the time. Here is the URL and a tiny excerpt from a mile long laundry list of progressive activism by newt.

Yet it seems Gingrich is still up to his old tricks. In front of a Tea Party crowd, he expounds the virtues of limited government, but elsewhere he is still the futurist conservative devoted to internationalism. His blog biography brags about his work as Speaker of the House and then boasts of such unconstitutional credentials as serving on the CFR’s Terrorism task force, co-chairing the UN task force to “reform” (i.e., strengthen) the United Nations, and receiving credit for the DHS being his brainchild. “Newt Gingrich is a leading advocate of increased federal funding for basic science research,” reads the bio. Gingrich's ASWF endorses federal involvement in areas such as energy, education, labor and the environment. He also founded the Center for Health Transformation, which advocates its own version of socialized medicine.
Global Government Gingrich
It would seem the CFR has done a good job schooling Gingrich in foreign affairs over the past 10 years as well. No longer the novice, Gingrich supports continuing the “war” in Afghanistan despite the fact that Congress never actually declared war as required by the Constitution. The Baltimore Sun noted on October 22 that Gingrich supports expanding the U.S. military presence in the Middle East. He claimed, “Afghanistan is a skirmish in a long war.... We need a much larger grand strategy that deals with the whole war.” He even had the audacity to invoke George Washington as a model for Obama in making “morally correct” decisions in Afghanistan. Careful, Gingrich, you're quoting one of those nasty noninterventionists! Washington had this to say about foreign policy in his Farewell Address: “The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.” Yet National Review quoted Gingrich in opposition to the Father of Our Country. “You can pull out of Afghanistan, and then what?... We pulled out of Somalia, and now we have pirates,” he said, ignoring what U.S. support of the UN puppet regime in that unfortunate country has done to promote terrorism, and parallel scenarios in Afghanistan and across the Middle East. His statements leave little doubt as to how Gingrich would conduct himself as Commander in Chief.
Newt's right on this ...
I agree—there are so many things wrong with Newt, yet I am drawn to him—for his past actions as Speaker, for his oratory, for the promise of being an American Churchill. Besides the others are so obviously intellectually inferior. We do not have Marc Rubio running after all.....what are we to do?? If Newt can rise above some of the pettiness he has displayed over the course of 2 decades, he might just be one of the greats.
None of these has-beens have ever run for public office. Very few people even know who Ann Coulter, Peggy Newloser or Charles Krathmeister are. People don’t know them. They have never run for public office.
And they have the audacity to bash Newt Gingrich who has served and been effective for conservative causes in the public office?
These so called lackeys should be shamed for their arrogance. Have they ever run for public office? They are jealous because Newt has the intellect to debate anyone anywhere....including Krautwaste, Miss Piggy and Loosey Ann in any serious debate.
They all need to shut it. They have no standing in regards to running for public office in the way Newt Gingrich has. They are DISGUSTING to the core.
[ Some conservative commentators have become pundit sniffs, turning up their elitist noses at whoever the frontrunner for the Republican nomination happens to be. ]
Its called vetting, even goading.. more likely “testing”..
So far republican Presidents even candidates in the last 20 years.. are pretty much eunuchs..
Zero can say whatever he wants to and actually do the complete opposite..
And the voters even most republicans can’t remember what he said he would do..
and if they do remember will do absolutely nothing about it..
NOT ONLY THAT.,. but they don’t get MAD.. and for sure don’t get “EVEN”..
I will NOT be satisfied UNLESS the leanest, meanest son of a bitch gets selected.. even if hes been driven a little crazy like Ron Paul.. I have had it with republican mealy mouthed parsers... YEeeS.. NOOt too.. the bastard..
If G. Gordon Liddy ran for President I’d vote for his ass..
I pray for Mark Levin to run.. no chance tho..
FACT - they have a limited time to bash him as it will be a full court press to see zero removed from office
“American can’t take 2 left leaning parties and no balance, which is what we’d have if the Gingrich/Romney gang gets in charge.”
Something tells me you didn’t read the article?
Noonan’s prose has become a little too ‘fainting couch’ for me. She’s so busy swooning over her each and every word, I need a barf bucket.
The resolution for me will come in a time and place that is for now just not yet determined. Time marches on.
Newt is like a great marketing director for a large company....he scares lots of employees, but he sure can get the product out the door! (Arrogant SOB’s are sometimes the best sales/marketing people.) The question is does he have the skill set necessary to build a great team, and LISTEN to them...his identifying John Bolton was a step in the right direction, but I’m waiting to see...
