When Cain exited like a scared little girl, I totally lost all interest in politics (again)
But Newt’s stand in this debate gave me new hope.
Before the SC debate, I was prepared to vote for Newt only because Romney was totally unacceptable, and Santorum does not carry himself very well (no chance against Obama)
I really hope Newt understands and capitalizes on the passion he tapped in on... because now he has won not only my vote with that debate performance, but also my support.
Damn right I want a fighter.
I too, felt like you, after Cain’s exit. Back when Newt was in DC years ago I still considered myself a Democrat (rebelling against my Dad at the time honestly). I was afraid that all the problems from years back would be too detrimental to Newt’s candidacy. I’m glad to say I was wrong.
I had forgotten what it’s like when you have a candidate who won’t put up with the crap from the media and doesn’t pussyfoot around the real issues. He’s the ONLY candidate I’ve seen who handles the “racist” issue well - absolutely refusing to accept the liberal premise off the bat and not getting into a “gotcha” question. He’s a master at that.
I definitely don’t agree with Newt’s position on some issues, BUT he’s the ONLY one that seems to be able to change the attitude in this nation. We need a STRONG leader - and Newt fits the bill (the best of our possible choices). After hearing some of the SC debate he has won my support as well. As long as he keeps up the fight, I’ll stand with him...
