You’ve joined with the MSM with your attack on Newt.

Such self-agrandizing with your self inflated “fairness!”

What? Newt should sit silent trough an interview?

They ALWAYS twist the facts and edit quotes and mischaracterize the entire story to turn the cannons back on the Right.

They don’t need your help.

FAIRNESS: never used the word. Never used the word. Never used the word.

Actually, you must not be reading my responses to you. I have not ATTACKED Newt at all.

I have said, that as a supporter of his, I think he missed a chance to really separate himself from Rick. That is all I have said. Every single comment I have made - EVERY SINGLE ONE - has been through that prism.

I have never said that Newt should sit silent. I have mentioned that two or three of his sound bytes were brilliant. I have only said that I wish he had not said the “he was right to apologize” statement and the “silly” line was not helpful either. Those are the headline statements and those sound like Rick’s “absurd” headline statement.

I debate politics in non election years as well. I was on FR before the 2012 cycle and plan to be on it after as well. I can hardly wait until we put down our obsession with people and get back to ideas. The tone of debate on FR changes radically once the focus turns to people, as it has since about fall of 2011.

I don’t worship Newt. I like the idea of him getting the nominee and then his ideas overwhelming the ideas of Obama for the entire nation to see. Then I like the idea of his ideas being implemented into law.

With me, it’s about the IDEAS. Always has been. Not about FAIRNESS. Not sure I have ever used that word in 5 thousand posts to FR - until now.
