PERSONALLY I serve The God of Abraham - Isaac - Jacob ... having said that... I also serve the PUBLIC regardless of their religious or non-religious beliefs... having said that, I believe that Rick Santorum will be honest and sincere in his role as President of the United States... He is more “REAL” than Newt, Romney, or Paul.. IMHO.

This is not a bash on Newt, but I think Newt has too much baggage that will be used against him in the general election and is therefore unelectable IMHO... Rick Santorum has no such baggage whether you agree with his personal views or not. Has he made some poor decisions/votes in the past.. yes... is he perfect... no —> is he honest/sincere in his views... yes <—

Yeah sure. You’re repeating like a parrot what the lamemedia propaganda nailed in the voters’ mind with “Newt’s baggage”, “he’s got too much baggage”, “baggage carrying Newt” and so on and so forth. If you want to look at his “baggage” compared to Mitt&Rick’s empty suits, HERE WE GO!

If at 68, a man has not “baggage”, that means his life was empty and his achievements were nil.

Talk about a “baggage”:

10 uninterrupted terms serving in the House of Representatives (1979 - 1999)

The House Republican Minority Whip (1990 - 1994)

The first Republican Speaker of the House in 40 years (1995-1999)

Author of 23 books, including Lessons Learned the Hard Way (1998), Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America (2005), Rediscovering God in America (2006), and To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Machine (2010). He also co-wrote an alternative history series on the Civil War and World War II.

In 2003 he founded the Center for Health Transformation to develop a 21st century healthcare system that is centered on the individual.

Served on the Hart-Rudman Commission, formally known as the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century

Gingrich has taught at the United States Air Force’s Air University, where he is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint Flag Officer Warfighting Course.

Honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University where he teaches officers from all of the defense services.

Guiding coalition member of the Project on National Security Reform.

Created the production company Gingrich Productions, and religious educational organization Renewing American Leadership.

Fellow at conservative American Enterprise Institute and Hoover Institution.

Quite a “baggage” indeed!

NO OTHER candidate is more qualified than Newt Gingrich to become the next President of the United States of America.

Let's don't even go to the "baggage claim area", FRiend! Santo's voting record and recent gaffes could certainly be considered "baggage".

I'm not sure if you've taken the time to watch Newt's excellent speech at ORU, yesterday. He spoke to a capacity crowd, enjoyed thunderous applause and took many great questions from the students. Here's one question that related specifically to Newt's "baggage" (FYI, it begins at the 55:40 mark):

Brandon:...Mr. Speaker, you've said that personal issues should not be brought up in politics, yet many in the general public and the media do not agree with you....How do you intend to beat the negative media and reobtain (sp) the trust of the American people, obtain the GOP nomination and beat Pres. Obama...?

Speaker Gingrich: By being honest and being open. (Applause)
People can look at my life (applause), I'm 68 years old, a grandfather....I've lived a long life and I've done some things I've had to go to God to seek forgiveness and reconciliation for. I also think on balance I've worked very, very hard to be the kind of citizen and person that would be worthy of your trust and the presidency. People have to make up their minds. (Major applause.)

So, Dan, instead of jumping in and bashing Newt, why not listen to the man's words of confession and of asking for forgiveness? I understand you support and admire Santorum....that's great. But, to call out Newt on "baggage" is hypocrisy, IMO.

Has he made some poor decisions/votes in the past.. yes... is he perfect... no —> is he honest/sincere in his views... yes <—

So then Rick HAS BAGGAGE! SAY IT - don't sugar coat it! Keep it honest!

I also serve the PUBLIC

Don't think so, you are serving your own agenda. Keep it honest.

Speaking of honest - remember the LIES Rick said about Newt - that's part of HIS BAGGAGE. And that he campaigned for - pro abortion/pro homo marriage - mitt in '08. That's part of HIS BAGGAGE. So how serious can he be on his views? is he honest/sincere in his views... yes He's not, he already compromised that big time with campaigning for the very worst candidate in '08. Mitt is worse than some liberals.

Now he has a TRUNK LOAD - are you now going to help him carry his trunk load around while he holds his halo on? Then add hypocrisy to that TRUNK LOAD OF BAGGAGE and don't forget his carry on baggage with his big gov't mindset.

PERSONALLY I serve The God of Abraham - Isaac - Jacob

So do I and HE says satan is the master of lies. I will never vote for someone who deliberately lies against another to promote himself nor NEVER campaign for a pro abortion, pro homo marriage candidate.
