Now, as for others not being behind Newt - it's probably because they believed the media and their trashing Newt.

That's not true. Newt has a long, documented record of pandering and coddling to liberals when it suits him. Heck, just go back to last May and June when he attacked Ryan and look at the posts on this board about him.

Here are a couple of good ones for example (including a lot of negative comments from many of his most ardent supporters today):

Gingrich endorses Scozzafava in NY-23 race ('Future of the party')

Gingrich Calls GOP Medicare Plan 'Right-Wing Social Engineering' (supports individual mandate)

Gingrich Apologizes to Paul Ryan for 'Right-Wing Social Engineering' Criticism

And he has been NO friend to Palin in the past when it counted:

Gingrich: ‘Strategic Blunder’ for Palin to Mock Obama as ‘Community Organizer’

Gingrich says Palin will not be the future GOP leader

And he admitted that he was trying to follow Obama on Libya this time last year:

Newt Gingrich Acknowledges ‘Contradictions’ On His Libya Views, ‘I Was Trying To Follow Obama’

Even JimRob himself once called Newt a genuine phony and at one point last November even said "Stick a fork in him. He’s done."

However, in the desperation to beat Romney and then Obama, many folks it seems are perfectly willing to sweep Newt's record for the past fourteen years under the rug for the sake of short term convenience. And anyone who dares to point out these unpleasant truths is now blasted on this board as an "agitator," a "fraud," and a "slanderer." (all names, among many others, that have been hurled at me personally because I refuse to sacrifice my Conservative principles and jump on the Newt bandwagon).

Newt is a very intelligent guy. I'll grant him that, but just as he has pandered to the Left and RINO element in recent years, he's figured out that he can win over the base by sounding like Sarah Palin in the debates. He even authored a well-known primer for new GOP congressmen in 1996 about how to manipulate the language to achieve one's political goals.

Unfortunately, a lot of good folks are buying it, hook, line, and sinker, and if he in fact manages to beat the GOP-E (which he was a part of until he got in Romney's way) and then Obama in the general, I guarantee that all will be disappointed in what they get from him.

I didn’t read but a few lines of your post. When I want propaganda - I don’t come here.

You are so mislead - you are dripping with propaganda. It’s repulsive. Go to a liberal site - they will wallow in it with you.

Mitt is a POS liberal con man - it says alot about the weakness of your mind.

GO NEWT! The visionary patriot for America! Squash the maggots!
