God Grant me the Serenity to Accept the things that I can not change.

The Courage to change the the things I CAN

And the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE!

-— Newt is much better than Romney.

-— We MUST defeat Obama!

The country forgave Bill Clinton his Sins, the Country will forgive Newt, as well. I believe that Newt has changed.

King David and many of the Saints were not without sin.

Careful about pushing for Romney. This is NOT the place, and as a member of the Class of’98, you should have a better command of ALL the facts.

Step away from the keyboard. Your rant is hysterical, and in all caps, makes it doubly ridiculous.

What's the right thing, dropping out or becoming one of the Washington insiders, endorsisng Gingrich is a low blow to America. Gingrich is as corupt as any politician that sits in office right now. Gingrich WILL NOT back down to blackmail, look at his record.
It was John Kaisic now Gov. of Ohio that balanced the budget but yet Gingrich and Clinton continue to take credit for the budget. gingrich and clinton were to busy womanizing to ever get any work done.

I hope not. Don't count your chickens before they hatched.
Newt Gingrich is a corrupt as the rats that sit in the Senate and White House. After this move by Perry I wouldn't trust him any more then I would Gingrich. Perry's dirty trick for VP makes him another corrupt Washington Insider.
This was a low blow to American and our voting process.

Yeah, and I see that NOW the news media has finally noticed Rick Perry!! He’s not the ‘invisible man’ anymore! It took him to drop out of the race to finally get some attention, didn’t it? I swear they forgot he was in the race still! As sad as I am to see him leave the race, at least he got to leave on a good note, a really good debate performance!

Actually, he had been steadily improving for quite a few debates. Unfortunately, not many people noticed it, they kept up w/the “he can’t debate” crap, even when he had improved a lot! Grrrr..... Either or that, they pretended he wasn’t even in the race anymore, and only mentioned him as an afterthought. Even John Huntsman got more attention!

I don't want Rick Santorum to stoop that low. Santorum needs to fight on for the Presidentcy, debate Romney.
I hope S.Carolinian don't be fooled by Gingrich, look at his record, not the one he tells you but at facts.
The cost of his wifes hair do could bankrupt us.

I think your in the wrong forum. debate the issues, many people here like Perry and going along with him for throwing support to Gingrich with out looking into Gingrichs back ground, finding out what he is realy all about.
this picture is on called for.
Romney and Rick Santorum weren't forced out of office, what deals did Gingrich make to seal his records, the records that Poloce would like to reveal. records that need to be opened for all America to hear.

Thank you, I'm glad someone is not falling for the Newt spin.
for years the demoRATs use billions of tax dollars, throwing it at education for votes and never doing anything in the set interest of education. for years they played the Number 1 con game education and got election only because most American were too busy to find out who these people really were, they got away with the spin and lies as long as they thru billions of tax dollar at the teachers unions and phony education bills, When voters were asked who they voted for and why, the answer was always, they voted on the issues, issues Education, of course you knew right away that person never paid attention to anyone of those candidates, they play the number 1 can game just like the politician, they want you to thing they knew what they were doing. well that's one of the way we got ourselves in this mess. it time to stop being led by others and find out what the candidates are all about.
What is wrong with Romney or Santorum? are thy not corrupt enough for a vote, are they not spinning the lies
in a fashion suitable to deserve your vote. They could fall on the number 1 con game education like the Rats did for years and will do again and people will fall for it.
In my view were down to two candidates and I would like to hear from them. Gingrich, needs to step aside and do what is right for this country. Gingrich has all the qualifications for a domorat, WEALTH,POWER,GREED and Women, I don't want to see another over paid pinp in the White House.
Gingrich will e led by they lesbian groups and also become the puppet for the demorats. I'm sure Gingrich numbers in the poll are up only because he now has the RAT vote. don't be fooled by Gingrich.

I may even post it again so everyone can see the mentality.

Please do. Then go re-read the threads about Bachmann and Cain dropping out.

His comments are incredibly mild compared to the hysteric nastiness the Perry supporters around here posted on those threads about Cain and Bachmann.

If the Perry people around here want to object to the nastiness being directed at him now, next time they should not be so quick to dish it out at other candidates

Go re-read the threads about Bachmann and Cain dropping out. Take a good close look at the gutter slime garbage you posted on those threads

It is utterly absurd for you to pout now given your behavior then. You are reaping as you have sown.

You are absolutely right. The nastiest comments and threads about both of them (and many other candidates) came from the Perry-dactyls. Perry lost my support with the heartless comment, but the behavior of his supporters nailed the coffin shut for me.

“Then go re-read the threads about Bachmann and Cain dropping out. His comments are incredibly mild compared to the hysteric nastiness the Perry supporters around here posted on those threads about Cain and Bachmann.”

I’m going to try to make that effort. Seriously. I think most comments were provoked by “hysteric nastiness” from Cain supporters. But, I’m interested in your charge.

While your post was directed to 'TheCause', I can't help but wonder. It sounds like you are saying that Perry is too stupid to look at or know about Newt's background? Or that Perry acted without getting all the information he needed to make an informed decision. Either way, that's not Presidential material either.
