What is so disappointing about Ann and her mouth, which presumably is attached to her brain, is that she is calling conservatives stupid. Well, Ann, I am older than you are. I remember the Reagan revolution, and who said and did what. Newt, being at that time a younger man and not as temperate as he could have been (and what younger person has not learned this through experience? ... Ann, are you listening?), was nevertheless clearly a strong supporter of Reagan and Reagan’s conservative philosophy before, during, and after his presidency. Did he disagree at times? Yes. Did others of Reagan’s supporters do the same at times? Yes. But by and large Newt and Reagan were agreed.
Romney said, more times than once, that he is not a Reagan conservative.
So, who am I to believe? I will take Romney at his word, repeated many times. And this is only reinforced by his demeanor, his tentativeness in giving answers to basic questions. People are not stupid. They may not be paying attention all the time (but many are now) and they may be susceptible to delusion, whether of their own making or of the making of others. But they are not stupid.
So, Ann, how dare you! I am deeply disappointed in you.
I see Newt’s flaws. And I see Romney’s flaws. I am a realist. But I also hear what each says ... and so do many others. I know who is closer to Reagan in philosophy ... and it isn’t Mitt.
If I knew absolutely nothing about issues I’d vote Newt simply based on who his enemies are. On a side note John King is one of the biggest dbags! He has no shame. Repeating all day what he KNOWS are complete falsehoods! Sorry for the rant.
