Newt’s rhetoric is entertaining and due, however you need more then rhetoric to be a President. My fear with Newt are founded in his past
1) Thin skin which causes him to get defensive or suck up to press/libs
2) He lost the House Republicans support after a couple years and don’t say it was the RINO’s there were plenty of true conservative Reps that said enough
3) His class warfare rhetoric on Romney is straight from Obama and the Dems!
4) FDR is one of his favorite Presidents and at times his stands sound more big government.
I would still vote for Newt but it wouldn’t be because he is the poster child of a great candidate!. I would much rather take somebody who walks the walk (and I am talking personal character as well, face it Newt is very flawed there) then someone who can give loud rhetoric. Every one forgets, Reagan challenged the press and his opponents, but he didn’t do it snarling the way Newt does.
For forty years the Democrats held power. The Republicans occasionally were thrown a bone, given cover and some pork to keep their constituents quiet. Meanwhile the congress was enriching themselves at the expense of the nation. The centralized government kept growing and growing…
In 1980 Ronald Reagan is elected President. Newt Gingrich, elected in 1978, joined with others to ally with President Reagan and build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority - the Reagan Revolution - which directly led to the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy
Gingrich becomes Speaker of the House and the Democrats and Republicans panicked! Budget cuts, less pork. For the first time in a very long time the Republicans actually had to govern and take responsibility. The Dems were outnumbered - it should have been easy and, after all, it is what the voters wanted congress to do.
The 1998 budget was scheduled for a $1 Billion cut and congress saw the gravy train leaving the station. No more getting rich at the public’s expense.
So it became “get rid of Newt Gingrich” even to the extent of manufacturing lies about him. He was exonerated of ALL those phony ethics charges, but the media continues to smear him year after year after year.
And now, older and wiser, he is back. And the corrupt in Washington, D.C., are AGAIN trying to save the status quo.
The question is, what are YOU going to do?
So far you’re repeating all the lies the media and Congressional fat cats spout about Newt. They’re pooping in their silk panties at the thought of Gingrich controlling the executive branch.
I suspect you can do better.
