Debate | February 23, 2012 Arizona debate: Newt Gingrich – Part one "The mainstream media enjoys analyzing how the candidates performed but rarely replays the meat of an answer given by a candidate. The substance of what Newt Gingrich said in reply to the questions asked by CNNs John King will help."..

Gingrich | February 23, 2012 Arizona debate: Newt Gingrich – Part two "For citizens to make informed decisions about who they will vote for in primary elections and caucuses, they need to know what the candidates actually stated in response to debate questions. Newt Gingrich’s responses are recorded here so."..

Catherine Brigden is a self-employed mother of two with a bachelor's degree from the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas. She is a former liberal who now believes that people need to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. It is not the government’s responsibility to endlessly provide for people who have fallen on hard times. She is a Christian who used to be pro-Choice, and now believes that life begins at conception. People need to take responsibility for their actions between the sheets, and if a couple does not want a baby, they should not perform an act that will produce one unless they are willing to live with the consequences. Our government has grown vastly beyond its means or its Constitutional boundaries and needs to be reined in. She closely follows the national news and the news in Oklahoma."

Newt Gingrich is our only hope.

But the GOP-E seems intent on blocking Newt as a nominee. I swear, I believe they would let Obama win before letting Newt have the Bully Pulpit (to be in the position to stare Congress down in front of their constituents).

[Logical me]

Newt knows what must be done and quickly. Romney and Santorum has lots of mouth but have no idea what it takes to move Washington. Paul, the idiot should retire.

[Logical me]

And I pissed at the Tea Party movement. They should be backing Newt. They are not thinking. Is it so hard to see what the backing of Romney and Santorum is with the liberal and GOP elites. What has happened to the ability to reason.

They are only watching "surges." It is not *thinking*.
