I’ve been a Newt supporter for YEARS. I was writing posts on this site promoting Newt over a year ago before he even announced when I was about the only one who would stand up for him.
Newt has done more for the conservative movement than the other candidates combined. If he did NOTHING but the ‘94 election and Contract with America that would be the case.
I like Santorum, but he has nowhere near the depth, intellect, eloquence or breadth of experience Newt has. Newt has many flaws but he has a prodigious intellect and loves his country. Santorum just isn’t in his league in terms of brainpower.
And NOW we hear that after his caterwauling during the debate about how Newt and Mitt shouldn’t campaign negatively...he’s buying ads....TRASHING NEWT!

Look, I like Newt, I appreciate what he did in the 90s, I was still active duty though when he and Clinton gutted teh services. My one shop, went from 12 people to 3, getting time off was not a luxury we had.
Newt is damaged goods. We put him up, we lose. thats all. The only thing worse would be a Ron Paul candidacy.
Newt started mud slinging first and his robo call about the kosher food was way over the line of decency. Look I like Newt and his brain power needs to be harnessed, just not as President.
