They don’t like Newt because Newt is obnoxious to them and also because they hate the thought of his having that much power. I go along with those who say he should choose someone like Cain. But he definitely needs someone who can supply what he lacks AND whom he will listen to . My only fear about him is that he doesn’t listen and that he imagines himself to be a polymath which he is not.

They may be thinking that if they win they Congress they can get more out of Obama than Newt. They would be wrong, I think. Clinton is lysing , cheating scumball, but he would cut a deal. And the sob is likeable. Obamaib if he got elected, would Horatio at the bridge, holding the line until 2014.

You sound rather Trollish. How long have you been out of High School? Or even in politics for that matter?

Newt has also refuted and fully regrets ever having made that video a long time ago. He calls it one his biggest mistakes and he regrets it. It’s called honesty I believe.

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Dec. 3, 2011

“I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.”

(Please try and get your facts stright)

Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.

Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.

Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!

Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

What in the Constitution supports ANY of the laws and policies that come out of Washington?

Thank you for backing up my point!

“I didn’t know Newt supported Nancy P and Global warming, Thanks for the video!”

When this global warming fraud came up several years ago a lot of people were concerned about it that no longer are. Now that it’s been exposed thankfully not many people who can reason accept it.

I’m not sure Newt is a scientist, and there were a lot of scientists that were duped as well.

So your point was that everyone is a RINO? You really don’t make any sense... If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you?

In 2007, Gingrich told Frontline he would “strongly support” a mandatory cap and trade program:

I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly support.

1989: Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) co-sponsors the ambitious Global Warming Prevention Act (H.R. 1078), which finds that “the Earth’s atmosphere is being changed at an unprecedented rate by pollutants resulting from human activities, inefficient and wasteful fossil fuel use, and the effects of rapid population growth in many regions,” that “global warming imperils human health and well-being” and calls for policies “to reduce world emissions of carbon dioxide by at least 20 percent from 1988 levels by 2000.” The legislation recognizes that global warming is a “major threat to political stability, international security, and economic prosperity.” [H.R. 1078, 2/22/1989]

1997: As Speaker of the House, Gingrich co-sponsors H. Con. Res. 151, which notes carbon dioxide is a “major greenhouse gas” that comes from “products whose manufacture consumes fossil fuels” and calls on the United States to “manage its public domain national forests to maximize the reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.” [H. Con. Res. 151, 9/10/1997]
