Firebrand Free Republic Founder Endorses Newt Gingrich With Epic Call to Action
Fox News ^ | January 19, 2012 | Fox News

Posted on 01/20/2012 7:57:08 AM PST by true believer forever

I'm officially endorsing Newt Gingrich for president today. Was going to wait until after Florida, but see no reason to delay. We need Newt to win in South Carolina and Florida to stop any possible momentum building up for the establishment big government, statist, abortionist RINO!!

That’s not the same. I give Gingrich a lot of credit for successfully wresting control of the House from that other party.

I think, though, that one should pause and consider why his former colleagues in the House are not exactly effusive in their support of his candidacy for president.

I am not arguing in favor of any candidate, but Gingrich is about as erratic was one person can be. His lack of focus would be absolutely disastrous in the White House.

Hullo JimRob - Maybe for your next visit to DC you could show up in one of these - just to get their attention down on Capitol Hill. Show them how a real firebrand deals with trolls and traitors.

Beck is a “Loser”, so I’d go with the one on the left.

Dingy Harry is a Mormon. I’ve never heard Beck support him.

- - - - - -
And I have never heard him really attack Harry either.

One of the ‘tricks’ of Mormonism is to appear neutral or act like a ‘concern troll’, it gets people to trust them and think they don’t have an agenda.

How do I know? Because that is what I was taught to do by the Mormon church when I was training to be an LDS missionary.

As Speaker of the House, Gingrich would have a Number 1 Priority, Must Be Done Today initiative today and a different one tomorrow. I think that this management style is the basis of the “erratic” rap.

You can still see it in his embrace of Paul Ryan’s plan, then his rejection of it, and then his re-embrace of it.

Or in his attacks on Romney’s “vulture capitalism”.

Fox loves me because I stood outside their offices doing a stealth freep when they were being protested by the lefties. Handed a flyer personally to Roger Ailes. No greater honor than to have my screen name used in connection with our great founder. : )

we will fight to keep him on the right path, if he waivers

Newt has been steadily wavering since the 90s. Did you happen to notice what his 2012 positions are regarding amnesty for illegals, global warming, and Gingrichcare? If he wavers? He's wavering right now! Yet your best idea for putting him back on the right path is to vote for him? Unreal.

His lack of focus? You have no idea how hard I'm laughing.

I think, though, that one should pause and consider why his former colleagues in the House are not exactly effusive in their support of his candidacy for president.

As a matter of fact, for the record, Newt was kicked out by the Moderates(!) ....

"There is no doubt in my mind he had the votes to win the Speakership, but I'm not sure he had the votes to govern," said Kenneth M. Duberstein, a former White House chief of staff ... .... from the article (drum roll please) .....

"What I believe desperately needs to take place is to heal the alienation that currently exists," said Representative Steve Largent of Oklahoma, a ‘conservative’ football Hall of Famer who announced his own challenge today to Mr. Gingrich's second-in-command, Representative Dick Armey of Texas.

The heart of the Speaker's problems, many Republicans said, is that he had never made an adequate adjustment from being the minority to being the majority, from intense backbench opposition to governing.

The hard-edged partisan bite that worked for Mr. Gingrich in the minority came across as stridency in power, Republicans said. ''Whenever we try to go on the offensive, the White House tries to make Newt the issue and whenever that happens we lose,'' said Peter T. King, a Republican from Long Island.

...... AND the "piste de résistance" ...

When Mr. Gingrich allowed Representative John R. Kasich of Ohio, the budget committee chairman, to try to rally House Republicans around a conservative blueprint for more than $100 billion in new savings, the moderates refused to back it.

Beck is absolutely, totally for Santorum now. He is very concerned about Mr.Newt’s progressive tendencies at times, and I understand much of his objections though I also think Beck is off base on some of his concerns about Newt. He is definitely not pro-Romney, though he has defended him against attacks on Bain capital, and was upset that he had to defend against those attacks. He thinks RonPaul would be dangerous to have when it comes to foreign policy, despite loving his financial and libertarian tendencies.
