Great post!
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
I’d prefer to give the country a litmus test with this election anyway. If they think someone failing at a marriage is worse baggage than Solyndra, Fast and Furious, trillions in new debt, the government takeover of health care, forcing churches to violate their conscience, refusing to develop our own energy products due to an adherence to vague pagan ideology, and pretending that Muslims are our friends and partners in coexistence, then I’ll know once and for all that this country is too stupid to be deserving of its Constitution and that it won’t be surviving much longer. I want to find out what this country understands about reality right now, so that I can start looking into property in Australia or New Zealand if they reveal themselves to be the mushminded, self-destructive simpletons that many of us suspect they are.
Obama is “a man with a lifelong hostility to Western values and Western interests.”
It ain’t over til it’s over friend.
You are a very sick puppy. Same old spam each and every day.
I want to be here to listen to your cries of horror, when your televangelist completely burns out.... and he most certainly will.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
WE have 6 days left before Super Tewsday. There is still time for Newt to come back. It may not be easy, but there never was a better man to prove he is capable.
This will be the ultimate test. If Newt pulls this off, then there will be no doubt that he is the one who can actually fix this mess.
LOL.... good one.
I’ve said it for 3 months now. There is ONLY once choice. NEWT GINGRICH is it.
She also lives in Pennsylvania, and is familiar with Santorum. She read his 2006 book, is familiar with his statements since then, and think he has gone way overboard with moralizing about people's private lives. If Santorum has lost people like that, he has no chance in a general election.
The redistricting lawsuits are finally resolved, I think we might vote by the end of the March?
...but who knows?
This column cuts through the clutter surrounding this election, like no other.
People can cite polls, or stand on the sidelines throwing stones, but can they refute the points Sowell makes?
No.
Newt is the answer.
Especially when compared to the others!!!
You are the ONLY one who has left the Earth, chasing rainbow politicians like Santorum.
And there is NOTHING (You like to emphasize with caps, so I threw them in on your behalf) in what Mr. Sowell said that claimed Newt was “UNELECTIBLE!”. On the contrary, he said the very opposite. And Newt is, very much ELECTIBLE!!!!
(What Thomas really said and you decided to miss;)
[”Newt Gingrich is the only candidate still in the field who can clearly take on Barack Obama in one-on-one debate and cut through the Obama rhetoric and mystique with hard facts and plain logic.
Nor is this just a matter of having a gift of gab. Gingrich has a far deeper grasp of both the policies and the politics than the other Republican candidates.”]
But the man who suffered an 18-point loss in his home state after two terms from the people who knew him best is somehow electoral gold? And that's exactly the kind of state he claims he's going to be strong in now.
If electability is your goal, vote Mitt. He's proven more electable in the primary so far even without getting the conservative vote. Or try to draft Hillary. She could beat Obama, and that's all you care about, right? Some of us would prefer to actually work to elect someone who can actually fix this country, not just be the establishment's lapdog and continue doling out the empty socialist promises.
Those 7 percentage points from Newt probably wouldn't go to Rick mostly. Rick has now proven he loses on competency and electability to Mitt. Gingrich was already divorced and remarried when he swept the House in 1994 and became Speaker. Everyone, liberal, moderate and conservative alike agree Newt is extremely smart. That's a huge personal advantage going into the election. It's easy to soften up various rough edges on a candidate, but you can't make a dumb guy smart.
And both of those men are Obama. He just calls the "republican" persona Romney. With either man we get Socialized Medicine. With both we get Liberal to Left judges. After those things it doesn't matter any more.
Thanks for sharing that.
I am convinced that he has no chance in a general election. People would turn their backs on him and Obama would eat what was left.
No- though I’m familiar with his arguments, having heard Dr. Sowell reference it in interviews.
Good one. Thanks for the ping jaz.
A lot of folks thought that about Clinton II as well...
WHY is Newt 'unelectable'?
The intellect of Thomas Sowell is not accessible by our buddy SF....
Especially if you want to learn WAY more about MORMONism than SLC is comfortable about telling you.
