Ditto to what you said !
I don’t like either one of them, and I also don’t think either one of them can beat out obammy.
How did we get so screwed????????
Of course I will vote against the won-—but I’m afraid it will be another hold my nose and vote thing.
That would be such a serious debate. I suggest we toss in Ron Paul just for grins.
Comparing their actual accomplishment records in evidence:
Newt: Pro-life Reaganite, led the Republican Revolution, took the congressional majority from the Democrats who had held it for 40 years. And even with a democrat president (Clinton): cut taxes, cut spending, cut the national deficit, cut welfare, balanced the federal budget four years running, cut regulations, reduced unemployment, blocked socialized healthcare (HillaryCare) and encouraged the Reagan economy to flourish throughout his term and beyond. Not a bad conservative record at all. We can use some of this now!!
Newt is a veteran of the Reagan Revolution and the leader of the Republican Revolution. His record of actual accomplishments shows that he is a natural Tea Party Revolution fighter and was a fighter even before the tea party existed.
And it's true that he actually is a leading conservative base and tea party favorite:

Romney: Pro-abortion Reagan denier, crossed the aisle to promote abortion, gay rights, gun-control, liberal judges and actually advocated for and installed a socialist healthcare system (RomneyCare) which became the model and impetus for ObamaCare. Saddled his state with unnecessarily higher healthcare costs, busted budgets, busted Republican label, liberal activist judges, tax payer funded abortion, first in the union gay marriage, and individual mandates against the previously free citizens complete with tax penalties for non-compliance. Not even a moderate record. Romney is a liberal progressive, even to the left of his ideological ally, the late Ted Kennedy.

E’ff politics to its rotten core. Here it is Christmas season and they foisted on us a way too early primary season instead. Scrooge the whole danged bowl of garbage its become.
“Have got to enter an email address to participate in this poll. I get enough crap in my email box already so let me say, YES Id like to see a one-on-one debate.”
Ditto. I think Newt could mop the floor with Mitt (with one half of his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair).

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:
Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"
Every poll of Tea Party supporters and grassroots conservatives I have seen, all reflect that most of the respondents support someone other than Gingrich. Do you have anything that shows otherwise?
Just a thought in my own opinion: The elites will see Newt hand Willard’s head to him on a platter in a head to head debate. They may decide to pull Willard completely out of the debate circuit. That will spell Willard’s demise because if you don’t debate, you are no longer relevant.
Go Newt!
Hopefully conservatives will coalesce around Santorum or Bachmann soon.
LOL! You sense of humor is spot on!
Gov.Perry is the only conservative anywhere near winning the nomination.
And best of all Gov. Perry is TEA party, gingrich is a TEA party leach.
Willard would never go head to head with someone that can think..
He spent a career tricking democrats into voting for him..
Newt is trickyier than Willard.. and he knows it..
84.3 YEA to 15.7 NAY
Willard will not debate Newt. Willard has too much to lose.
Although it depends on what kind of lizard...my money's on the snake.
I’ve watched 13 debates. Might as well watch one more.
Yes
84.4%
No
15.6%
No total vote count given.
I would like to see the one on one debate. But it will not happen. the Fix is in—Newt is dead meat—Flawed—Its going to be Mitt Romney for President and some other lackluster RINO for VP. I can say it turns my stomach. Still, if this is it—and there is no real 3rd party challenge with a chance—we must fight to get back the House and Senate at least! We must make Obama a one term president-—Still, if their is Any way to stop this train wreck .... I can’t think of one.
...hadda be a but.
He can't stick to conservatism, no he has to think out loud about every little free floating ideological notion that pops in his head and bunches are not only not conservative but downright socialist—AND ON THE RECORD.
Like Bradley told Patton—”Your worst enemy is your own big mouth!”
Jim, I too want someone, anyone to stop the American Lenin of Color and Newt is infinitely more qualified than Mitt to do it...that said.
...hadda be a that said.
I fear many conservatives are embracing the “Buckley Rule” (voting for the most conservative candidate who can win) much too early and thus are falling for the RINO/DNC/MSM trap of being forced to chose between just two candidates even before a single vote is cast. TWO candidates—one they can destroy before Tampa and one after aka Newt and Mitt.
We are in a tangle it's true—McCain taught us that letting the GOP establishment RINOs and the DNC/MSM pick our candidate made suckers of us all and now we are so desperate to save America from Obama’s Marxist tyranny we have abandoned that hard learned lesson as we cling once again to THEIR anointed choices.
It's Huckabee and McCain for us all over once again and this time even before Iowans get out of bed on the morning of the third day of 2012.
