“please tell me how anyone could listen to what Newt says and NOT vote for him?”
Simple, they don’t trust him....Newt has a long past and a lot of baggage. The Willards negative ads have had a huge effect in reminding people about Newt.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m voting for Newt, but holding my nose to do it. I’m settling for him because I feel he is the most Conservative left in the race. Plus I think he is the only one with the stones to attack 0bama, which has to be done to win.
Everyone on the right is very cynical about politics and people running for office. We aren’t like the Democrats who love their elected candidates and blame the Republicans for everything bad. Our side knows a lot of our guys are just as bad as the Democrats. We want a real Conservative to win, but that person isn’t running. So a lot of us settling for Newt. We don’t trust him, but we are going to roll the dice and take our chances.
Aptly put. Exactly where I stand at the moment.
