The candidate who can best defend core conservative principles extemporaneously in front of a camera should be President of the United States.

Since 1960, that’s the way the game has been played, and every time we think we can rewrite those rules as conservatives, we end up with either 40 years of democrats running Congress, or a democrat in the WH.

Unfortunately, Romney either can’t or won’t defend conservatism, even if he seems to be good in front of a camera. Santorum may or may not be a conservative, but he isn’t tough enough and doesn’t have the skill in front of a camera to defend conservatism.

Which brings us to Newt Gingrich, who does. He’s the only candidate we have that can handle the media in the year 2012 and control the agenda such that we as conservatives may, and I mean MAY, be able to right the boat.

Newt’s the only candidate that can win, and he’s the candidate the left doesn’t want us to pick. He’s also the one they haven’t got any ammunition left to use on him. Romney, or Paul, if they get the nod, would have seen a new media IED go off on him every week until November.

Newt, in my opinion, is the only conservative running that can win. In saying that, I’m not saying he’s the best conservative in the country for the job, but none of those people are running for office. CNN, and the modern media, have made it clear to any other competent conservative thinking of running that utter and complete invasion, distortion, and violation await.

If Newt doesn’t win the nomination, I’m writing him in anyway, since he’s the only one running I can live with.

The best way to make sure any job doesn't get done, is to install someone who is incapable of fulfilling it.

Newt is a great populist debater.  He is not a great populist team player.  When the Republicans refused to vote him in as the Speaker again in 1999, Newt stepped down, left Congress.

What happens if you have a Boehner led House, and a luke warm Republican led Senate?  What you get is a situation where any Leftist legislation the president wants to send up to Congress, is a done deal.  It has no way of being stricken down.

What's your take going to be if Newt gets in and starts implementing fixes to global warming the U. N. and the E. U. are demanding we join them in doing?  Some of that stuff is incredibly devistating.  Who will stand in the way of it?

Yes, Newt has convinced everyone he's absolutely brilliant.  He even convinced Nancy Pelosi of it recently.

He has convinced La Raza, MALDEF, and MechLa of it too.

Since 1960, that’s the way the game has been played, and every time we think we can rewrite those rules as conservatives, we end up with either 40 years of democrats running Congress, or a democrat in the WH.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but you have it absolutely backwards.  George Bush Sr. raised taxes.  Bad idea.  It cost him the election.  Of course not running even a sub-par campaign didn't help any.

Bob Dole wasn't a Conservative.  He was a well meaning luke warm RINO.  He lost.

George Bush wasn't a die-hard Conservative, despite what some folks still claim here.  He couldn't beat the likes of Al Gore and John Kerry convincingly, because of it.

John McCain was the worst candidate we've ever lofted.  He actually formed entities with Soros, Teressa Heinz Kerry, and the Tides Foundation.  Guess what.  He lost.  If Palin hadn't been his runing mate, it would have been brutal.

The evidence is in.  Luke warm moderates and dihard RINOs cost us elections.  Who knew?

Who was the last recognized Conservative to represent the Republican Party?  By what margins did he win by?

If someone wants a Leftist, they vote for the real thing.  If they want a Conservative and there isn't one, why bother voting?

Unfortunately, Romney either can’t or won’t defend conservatism, even if he seems to be good in front of a camera. Santorum may or may not be a conservative, but he isn’t tough enough and doesn’t have the skill in front of a camera to defend conservatism.

People see what they want to see.  I agree with regard to Romney, but I don't see Santorum the way you do.  A lot of folks agree with me.  Folks who refuse to admit what Newt is, see him in a very favorable light.  That's not going to change.  I believe we're stuck with him.  Over the years we'll see him do some good, and be shargrined to watch the rest.  Nobody wants to listen.  Here we go again.

Which brings us to Newt Gingrich, who does. He’s the only candidate we have that can handle the media in the year 2012 and control the agenda such that we as conservatives may, and I mean MAY, be able to right the boat.

Yep, we'll right the boat with a guy who shares the spotlight with Nancy Pelosi, and includes a chapter in his new book about global warming fixes and the need for them. He'll right the boat by registering illegal aliens so they can stay here.  Wow.  Can't wait.  Can't you just see the brilliant way he'll use the press to do what he wants here.  The guy will thumb his nose at us peons.  At least he'll do it with style.  When he's done, you folks can slap him on the back and tell him what a swell Conservative he was.

Newt’s the only candidate that can win, and he’s the candidate the left doesn’t want us to pick. He’s also the one they haven’t got any ammunition left to use on him. Romney, or Paul, if they get the nod, would have seen a new media IED go off on him every week until November.

Look, you can live in your fantasy land if you like, but any of these candidates except Paul could win against Obama.  Keep telling yourself whatever you want, you haven't seen anything yet when it comes to Gingrich.  The Left hated him as Speaker, and they are loaded for bear.

Newt, in my opinion, is the only conservative running that can win.

Yes, I know what you think.  You keep saying it.  I'm not sure which of us you're actually trying to convince.  It's lost on me.  If it works for you, so be it.

In saying that, I’m not saying he’s the best conservative in the country for the job, but none of those people are running for office.

Well, we agree about the first part, that's for sure.  I'm not convinced Santorum isn't better.  There's been a full court press on the forum to depict Santorum as a full blown leftist.  Everyone knows Leftists are big home schoolers.  I'm not buying most of what folks are trying to merchandise here.

CNN, and the modern media, have made it clear to any other competent conservative thinking of running that utter and complete invasion, distortion, and violation await.

And of course Newt has now been vetted, right?  LOL  Okay, that's fine.  We will watch what takes place together.  I think he can beat Obama.  It's not going to be pleasant.  Others could beat Obama too.

If Newt doesn’t win the nomination, I’m writing him in anyway, since he’s the only one running I can live with.

Do whatever you like.  I'm supposed to support a guy I have watched for the better part of 18 years and can't support, but of course you shouldn't be held to the same standard.  I get it.
