Texas Governor and former presidential candidate Rick Perry tells Newsmax that Newt Gingrich is the most capable Republican still in the race and the right conservative to go to Washington and “make it as inconsequential as he can.”...
“I’ve endorsed Newt, so I hope that has some impact. We’re looking for the most conservative candidate. Texans by and large are a conservative lot,” he says.
“But any of our candidates are going to be better than Obama. My goal is to send the most conservative person to Washington D.C., that understands how to balance the budget, and Newt Gingrich has done that.
“I think Newt by any measure, from the standpoint of fiscal conservatism, being able to actually operate in that shark tank in Washington, is the most capable individual. He’s balanced a number of budgets before.
“Mitt’s been a very successful businessman, but the idea that you can transform your experiences as a private sector businessman into working in Washington doesn’t necessarily translate.
“I know for a fact that Newt knows how to work there. He is committed to blowing the place up, from a figurative standpoint, and to really put policies into place tax-wise, regulatory-wise.”
Perry says Gingrich is also a “big believer” in the Tenth Amendment, which provides that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution should belong to the states or the people.
“You don’t see any of the other candidates out there talking about the Tenth Amendment and empowering the states and devolving power out of Washington, except Newt Gingrich.”
Perry says Gingrich is also the candidate with the best chance of defeating President Obama in November.

“Newt cant even get off the couch long enough to win much.Ricks our only hope.
NO NEWT NO!!!!!”
1. Gingrich is talking about economic solutions while Santorum is talking about abortions and family values. Rick doesn’t seem to “get it” that the economy is the #1 issue right now.
2. I’ll take a guy who made a stupid PR mistake but balanced the federal budget over a candidate (Santorum) that was well-known for EARMARKS.
Rick has won 4 states,,Newt has won 1 hmmmmmmm
NO NEWT NO!!!!
Check the delegate count genius.
.
I believe Newt has always driven a Castro Convertible.....
.
Dede Scozafawa,Fannie and freddie,group hugs with Hitlary and Pelosi,He sounds and looks like an old lady with a bad case of the oooopsies,,He should return to his comfy couch so Pelosi can comfort him and wrap him in a banky for global warming.
Sorry, but i can’t seem to capture it either. I was very appreciative of Graham going On The Record with this too.
This is my last response to you Craftmore as it seems you lack substance on the real issues. If all you want to focus on is Gingrich’s silly PR mistakes then that’s fine. Santorum is a big spender and I find that far more offensive to me as it affects the taxpayer DIRECTLY.
The last person to balance the federal budget was Newt Gingrich. And PROVE that Newt was a lobbyist. You can’t.
