Newt Gingrich Town Hall At ORU, Tulsa, Oklahoma February 20 2012 -- The FULL HOUR.
As much as I love Newt this simply isn’t going to happen.
If Newt had got the debate in GA instead of Romney and Santorum had backed out of then I’d have given Newt much more of a chance for a come back.
If he does make a come back then the establishment will go full mode again to attack him but just imagine Newt and obama in a debate.
Oh and before we get the usually name calling, mud slinging attacking Newt because the usual suspects think they have to because they like Santorum , well I am pointing out a fact not doing an attack
Gingrich makes me very uneasy. He’s so darn unpredictable.
But he’s the best alternative to Romney, and with the right resources, he’d do serious damage to Obama.
I’d be surprised at this stage if Newt does not pull a double-reverse Operation Chaos and instruct his Michigan supporters to all go and vote for Santorum.
It would deal a likely fatal blow to The Mittster and keep the race alive for Newt to fight another day.
newt or rick
color me contented periwinkle
I agree. Newt is the only one of the candidates I want to answer the 3 a.m. phone call. That’s becoming more obvious every day.
However, Newt is unpredictable and can just as easily project 10 words (ex: "Ryan's plan is right-wing social engineering") that can get him into trouble.
In today's world of soundbytes anything can happen.
Not gonna happen. Newt rimnded too many people of why they didn’t like him. He’ll never have a comeback.
And I haven’t even read the word “baggage” yet.
Well Adelson is giving Newt another $10 mil and he said he might give him $100 mil if he needs to. Rick is going down the social issues road when most americans are concerned about jobs, jobs jobs. Mitt’s negative ads are already having an impact on Santorum’s momentum. Lets see where he is in two weeeks.
Predicts?? Rush stays safely in the land of “If...could happen...possibility...wouldn’t be surprised....”
Don’t doubt me
But the debates are gonna kick back in again once we get close to Michigan and then we’ve got Super Tuesday.
Apparently Rush doesn’t know that there is one debate scheduled, Feb. 22, in AZ and that is the only one before Super Tuesday. There were a couple of others scheduled in Mar. but both have been cancelled. So don’t depend on debates to resurrect or defeat anyone at this stage.
In 15 days we’ll have a much better handle on who is going to rise if any and who will fall.
I think it’s possible for a Newt comeback, expecially if we look at the existing EC votes. The states Santorum has won don’t ammount to much in EC votes. Newt’s still in it while we see what the South does.
EVERYONE who is a conservative should make sure Willard loses Michigan then. Make phone calls (at the very minimum) to Michiganders for Rick, please. If you can.
Their luck is about to run out.
If you listened to Rush’s full comments, he’s really saying he doesn’t know who’s going to get the nomination or whether there will be a brokered convention. He’s really saying “anything is possible” after watching the way the contest has gone so far.
I want to help the left find God.
I want to crush the left.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
We have lots of bickering; we have lots of arguments about this and that. We have virtually no discussion of what does it really take to take the most complicated society in the world, the largest economy in the world, and move it back to being the most successful, most prosperous, safest and freest country in the world.
So I am going to try this afternoon to set the stage for that.
And we have tons of details at Newt.org — any of you want, to just go to my first name dot org. You will see an immense amount of material.
But the standard here is that solutions big enough to get America working again — and the principle is to unleash the American people to rebuild the America we love.
Let me start with jobs: If I am the nominee, with your help, I will ask the entire Republican ticket to campaign with me on the pledge that when the Congress comes in on January 3, it will stay in session, and by January 20, when I am sworn in, it will have repealed Obamacare.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: It will have repealed Dodd-Frank.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: It will have repealed Sarbanes-Oxley.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: All three of those are job killing bills, which centralized bureaucracy in Washington DC and increased the corruption of the political system. All three should be repealed and held at the desk until I am sworn in. That afternoon, on the very first day, we should sign the repeal of all three. That's a reasonable start.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: Two hours after the Inaugural Address — that was just the hors doeurve. We haven't got around to serious work, yet.
After the Inaugural Address, I will spend it signing executive orders and presidential findings. All of them will have been published by October 1. The country will know precisely what this campaign is about.
The very first executive order will abolish all of the White House czars, as of that moment.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: We will sign, that day, an executive order, which as of that moment, approves of the Canadian pipeline to Houston, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: My message to Prime Minister Harper and the Canadian government is simple: You do not need a partnership with the Chinese. Give the American people a few months. When we beat Obama on election night, you can start buying equipment because we will approve it on January 20th.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: There will be an executive order to move the State Department, to put the embassy in Jerusalem as of that day, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: We will, that day, reinstate Ronald Reagan's “Mexico City Policy” — No money for abortion overseas, period.
(Applause).
GINGRICH: And we will have an executive order to repeal every act of religious bigotry by the Obama administration period.
My goal, with your help, is that by the time President Obama lands in Chicago, we will have repudiated at least 40 percent of his government on the opening-day.
