Our Florida Chapter is there and will be posting first hand reports and photos!! Go, Florida!!
Kristinn says there's a huge crowd forming and lots of media trucks.
Go, NEWT!!
Go, tea party!!
Rebellion is here!!
Join, or die!! --Ben Franklin
James made me try a piece! That rascal! I ended-up eating several big pieces!!!
That was one outstanding talk Newt gave .. the term 'speech' just doesn't seem to fit, ya know ?
He's as natural an instructor as any I've ever enrolled with.
I've admired the man's vision and talents for many years, and was always saddened that the personal stuff would be used to keep him silenced.
But aside from his professorial talent, he's exactly the sort of fighter we're in need of on the national stage, and a deserving recipient of all the TeaPower we can support him with.
Frankly, I think he's even better at espousing a hopeful and direly needed vision of American Rennaisance than our late, Great Communicator, RR.
Again, thanks for the report !
All I have to say is, if you watch the Cocoa turnout for Newt and his message and you’re not moved by it then something is wrong. This is red meat for Hannity and Levin. I called my brother this AM around 6am Chicago time. He’s been doom and gloom. First thing he says, “Well here’s another poll that shows Newt slipping...etc.” I finally said, “Shut Up”...The American people are not stupid. It’s obviously right Newt sticking up for us. Every single one of us. Let them come at him.
After watching Cocoa, I know he’s going to win Florida and win big.
Bump for an added hit on this thread this morning...
Thanks, I would have missed that...maybe that would be good?
Thanks for the after action report! I’m really pulling for him.
TY. Great report. Good news.
Thank you for that report, and for the ping. Much appreciated.
Thank you, Kristinn
GO NEWT!!
Great pics! Thanks, mcmuffin!
Good job guys, thanks for the pics mcmuffin!
Thanks so much for your in person report. I know it is an experience getting to see the next President in person. I took my grandson when he was 10 to see George W. Bush when he was campaigning and he got to have a picture taken with him.
I had a great time and appreciated the chance to boost FR. I “talked it up” to anyone who asked about it, and many who didn’t...lol
One liberal photographer described himself as the hated liberal left, after reading the sign. He knows us! I loved having the chance to agree with him, BIG TIME.
NBC reporter was there too and asked permission to take pictures after identifying himself.
Great, glad you were there.
The pictures you were in were great, and fantastic signs!
“Exactly. And Gingrich knows that private companies will never be able to compete with NASA. They just don’t have the monetary resources. The wealthiest corporation could never send people to Mars or even the Moon. They couldn’t even send un-manned probes to the planets. They could put up some satellites, but thats about it. It’s bad enough obama has ended our manned space program, but I fear NASA would be done away with completely under Gingrich. Then the US would have no space program whatsoever. Russia and China would love that.”
NASA has the money but their bureaucracy can’t build. Look at what happened with the space shuttle. No replacement and we are left with nothing now that the old one is finished.
Private sector can build but they don’t have the money. So the solution is to give the private sector the money if they can get the job done.
I friend! Catching up on pings this evening,finally!! My sweetheart and I are in West Palm and will be here until Sunday. Attending a Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday evening to see Newt speak as well as one of our favorite Congressmen, Allen West.
You betcha I had the peanut brittle! Knew McMuffin and Matchett_pi would be counting on having some! James and I now have a big group of Florida Freeper friends who love hot peanut brittle! FreepMail me if you want the recipe. Thought I gave you a copy when you were down, but maybe I forgot to. Hugs!
I sure hope so... but the news being pushed by media is that Newt is tanking in latest poles. I hope he wins by 30 points over Romney.
I wish I were the with you all! I hear Florida calling every day! You have the best seeing Newt and Congressmen Allen Wes!!
Yes indeed, PLEASE send me the Peanut Brittle recipe! I’ll make some for my sweetheart for Valentine’s Day!!! I’ll remind you in FR mail.
((((Jeannie & James))))
TGO was sticking up for NEwt last night big time, but then reminded us that he’s for Santorum
I didn’t watch the debate last night because I was out. DIdn’t tape. Haven’t read any of the posts. Depressed as hell from yesterday.
Clearly, Ann Coulter is behind Drudge’s posting of the anti Newt articles.
BUT IF THE ISSUE IS SPACE EXPLORATION...NEWT HAS FOUR DAYS TO MAKE US ALL FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT AND THAT BEING OUR AVIATION HISTORY...
