bingo! If only they would listen to him. I am certain that a lot of RS support is just lazy Conservatives who just follow some talking heads lead. They are too lazy to go and look at their speeches, read their platforms and ponder the danger our Republic is in.
Newt is the only one that is focused on specific steps to downsize government.
I studied RS's platform. There are a few bones in there, but mostly empty rhetoric that is more process than substance.
The guy has never led anything in his life. He is more about trying to impress people with how "pure" he is as a conservative.
People should read his direct criticisms of the Tea Party in 09. People should see the youtubes of him attacking and being amazing petty towards Sarah Palin (see 2011 CPAC dust up). If it's not about Rick (Tea Party) if someone in his age group that is a superior crowd pleaser (Sarah) then he carries on like a 10 year old.
The reality is that RS is in way, way over his head. They guy is a disaster waiting to happen.
The people will, in the end, get the government they deserve.
I don't understand people, all I hear is the complaints about Obama and how he needs to be defeated, WELL YES. Ok so far. Now when you question them, here is what you get:
what do you think of NEWT? I DUNNO much about him, I just know he OLD and chubby.
what about Santorum? I DUNNO much about him, except OTHER people seem to like him, so I guess I will just go with them.
what do you think of Romney? I dunno, the media all seem to think he is super, maybe I will vote for him cause hes nice looking.
Do you read much? Huh, No, no time to study these things.
You are going to make one of the most important decisions of your lifetime, and YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING? You want to defeat Obama, and YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING?
DAMN YOU TO HELL, YOU NEED YOUR VOTER CARD PULLED, YOU ARE SO DAMN IGNORANT, you make me sick.
(Not you SAND88, I am Q&Aing & speaking with third person) lol
Yeah RS is not the answer unless you want more of the same old failed policies of the past. Newt is the one talking about real positive change.
“Newt is the only one that is focused on specific steps to downsize government.

Excellent post.
I did the same as you, and reached the same conclusion.
