He looks too meek, the enemies of America will treat him like a virgin choir boy in a maximum security prison.
Like having a family collie as a junk yard dog.
Newt has a past and that is what our enemies also know.
besides I believe Newt will make good on his fuel promises.
Reagan was looked at like a B movie star who was well past his sell by date.
Looks can be deceiving......
1 Samuel 16:2-23 (New International Version)
2 The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.”
4 Samuel did what the LORD said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?”
5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed stands here before the LORD.”
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The LORD has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”
“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”
Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.
Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.
that’s right....Newt will just ask Pelosi to sit on a couch with em
as an adversary I agree I’d look at the two, and Newt strikes me as the one more likely to nuke me.
There are valid reasons to prefer Newt to Santorum and a lot of reasons not to like Rick S.
However, many of them are trivial such as his appearance and my own loathing for the sweater vests.
We shouldn’t waste our time with these stupid things. It looks right now like Santorum is the conservative with the momentum and I suggest we learn to like him.
Right now the media and Romney are trying to paint Santorum as a man who would create a theocracy and snatch birth control pills out of the hands and mouths of women. People have fallen for this. We should be too smart to do so.
It’s obvious now that the creepy little cretin Ron Paul is supporting Romney so most of his votes would go there if he bowed out.
Newt is polling pretty low but I’m still not ready to suggest he drop out and send his votes to Santorum.
I like Newt too much to suggest that, but I do suggest we drop our petty little prejudices about Santorum.
Other potential voters say they do not like being "preached to" or respectively suggest keeping it to smaller doses and there was no need to keep defending a "white pill between the knee" joke-people want issues that mean something to "only" Them "a working government", a Congress that can get things accomplished, gas prices, national security in that the bad guy fears Americans "can bite" not "whimper" as when Osama bin Laden compared Americans to puppies; jobs, perhaps they want a better one not just settle & taxes.
Santorum's endorsement and [2] defense of Specter [Presidential Bid (1996)]
One can say we don't need those votes anyway--trust me you need every vote you can get, as the anger I saw displayed over the Google Bomb had more people googling the old Savage site [would cost $5M to Freedom to Marry to take down] than Santorum's own campaign site. People remember "dirt" or "the scandal" over the good that person may have achieved. Hate sells.
Obama's crew reportedly sanitized his Muslim Googled searches, one analyst said perhaps Santorum should have sent out Google sanitation workers just in case.
Last Minute tactics-Chicago style:
2004, Obama won the Illinois senate race against last-minute Republican candidate Alan Keyes. Keyes replaced Jack Ryan, who was a very strong & popular opponent of Obama until suddenly a newspaper lawsuit exposed a sex scandal[btw 2 consenting adults married at the time-but ugly divorces are in the moment] in Ryan’s sealed divorce papers to protect their young son.
Which of the candidates benefits most from revisiting a couple of these highly controversial issues ? Who gets the added votes-could be Romney could even be Newt. Paul has loyal steadfast voters not the flip floppers who make the polls move.
Here in Arizona it is going to come down to Santorum and Romney. With just days to go voters need to do everythign possible to make sure Romney loses! So, unless some miracle happens and Newt surges ... I’m voting for Rick Santorum. Besides I have looked at his record at great length and I’m really not understanding all nit picking on it when the very same thing can be said with Newt Gingrich. Both Gingrich and Santorum are the true conservatives - this is the REAL Repubican race. They aren’t perfect but I truly believe either man would do a great job as our next president.
Please encourage next week’s voters - to vote for Santorum so that Mitt is SHUT OUT and the real race can begin between Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
Ike looked meek, too. But it was he who won the European Campaign in WW2.
