It's disgusting that we will probably have a worse nominee than McCain in 2012.

It even more disgusting that they get us to go against Newt by saying he is “just like Romney” when they love Romney

Gingrich's lifetime ACU rating in congress is 90%, McCain's in the senate is 82%.

It might not be a perfect measure, but its probably the best available.

Romney and Gingrich is each far, far better than Obama.

As I see it, Romney is the GOP’s “establishment” guy. Gingrich is willing to challenge that “establishment.

Therefore, I’d say that if you think radical changes are needed in Washington (as I do), you should vote for Gingrich in the primaries.

If you think that a little “tinkering” is all that Washington needs, then I’d say vote for Romney in the primaries.

Do not forget that Romney and Gingrich is each far, far better than Obama.

I’m not a fan of Newt, however I hate Romney more. Conservatives need to stand up to the GOP and say “NO MORE” to all of these half-assed candidates.

Newt is better than Obama, Romney is just the same but paler.

That is damning with faint praise! Any of the squirrels in my yard is better than Obama.

But you have to consider, if Romney or Gingrich take over the GOP there will be 2 socialists parties and 0 conservative parties. It wouldn't matter if if 90% of U.S. citizens are against Obama/Romney/Gongrichcare, once they take control, there isw no fighting it. Gingrich is pretty much Carter II.

I disagree.

Newt is saying here that we should require some people to have health insurance rather than having them get their bills paid by ME and YOU.

He said in 2006 that folks making 54 grand a year or more should foot their own damn bill IF they’re going to be using a medical facility. 54 grand in 2006 is probably the equivalent of 60-65 grand in 2012 dollars.

So, do you think some clown making 60 grand should walk into the hospital and get to walk out paying nothing?

I don’t.

I’m beginning to think that the best answer is to get rid of all health insurance and force everyone to pay out of pocket.

Everyone on their own....pay your own way.

A vote for Gingrich is a vote for Pelosi. A vote for Romney is a vote for Dukakis. The media is trying to convince you those are your choices. I’m trying to convinve you you came to FR to get away from those choices. Don’t settle for a socialist.

Conservatives have been. You can bet on it.

The problem is the GOP is taking on the characteristics of the Democrat Party in they just don't give a damn and will do as they see fit, paying no heed to the will of The People.

The BS in Virgina is a prime example and I expect to see more of it, not less.

If the GOP can not be brought under control they must be eliminated via defunding and internal conservatives. As it stands right now, the reputation of the GOP is worthless.

I think that putting our government in charge of healthcare is insane. No matter what. This is the same logic they used to justify federal income tax and everything after it. I think you are suicidal if you want to do that. Gingrombacare is deadly for our freedom.

I agree with that. That would be a much better solution. But Gingrich and the other socialists don't want that.

If Gingrich is guilty of anything he's guilty of being non-ideological. He throws around ideas - some good & some terrible - to solve what we all agree are problems.

If so having him in the WH instead of someone ideologically disposed to socialist doctrine - Romney, or marxist doctrine - Obama, would be an immense improvement.

Of course I'd rather Santorum was polling higher, but he's not.

Don't you realize when you are being played? Of course, I don't want to pay for this gut. But in the meantime, it's better than becoming property of the federal government and letting them take over every facet of the economy? I don't want to pay that hospital bill, but it's not worth giving up my freedom for. These people will make LBJ and FDR look like hardcore libertarians. Don't fall for it!

It would help if you actually read what Newt is saying here. I don’t want to pay for the health care of those who can afford health insurance but chose not to get it, then go to the emergency room. Later they don’t pay the bill, and that drives up our cost. Read, he is right.
