Oh, you mean like Newt was doing in Iowa until Romney, Santorum, Paul, Bachmann, Huntsman and even Perry all six piled onto Newt? Like that?
I'll answer for you. No one, and I mean NO ONE, in the field can hold a candle to Newt when it comes to articulating ideas about why we are right and Obama is wrong. Zip, zero NADA can do like Newt.
Newt did a great job at that when he sat on a love seat with Nancy Pelosi making TV ads promoting Al Gore's latest taxpayer ripoff.
Newt was great when he went with Al Sharpton promoting slimy race hustlers taking taxpayer money.
Newt really did a good job when he articulated the problems at Fannie Mae that ended up costing taxpayers millions.
Newt has been very articulate lately and has been the best of the candidates presenting the issues and dealing with the MSM. I really admire his responses in the debates and his recent talk explaining to Obama what a drilling platform was. Santorum could learn from him on that.
However, I feel the most important characteristic that will be required in a new president will be personal integrity and moral strength. It will be very difficult to get our country back on the right track. Newt has a history of choosing to be expedient and trying to please the left who are using him and who have nothing but contempt for Newt and for myself and for every good conservative principle..
Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton and the thieves at Fannie Mae hate me and hate everything I stand for. If Newt wants to try to curry favor with them he will not get my vote.
I want a man of principle.
It’s too bad you can’t invent an alternative reality where Newt Gingrich can actually win primaries. Because it sounds like he’d be a great candidate in that universe.
And, no candidate has stuck his foot in his mouth more times -- attacking the Ryan plan, which almost killed his campaign, the attacks on Bain, the out-of-control rage at Romney in the Florida debate that allowed Santorum to look like the adult in the room.
And, let's not forget, he decided to take a cruise with the wife last summer, all but abandoned his campaign and lost his entire staff to Rick Perry.
So stop pretending like all the attacks on him have derailed the next Reagan. Get over it. Sane conservatives have known for a long time that beating Romney with someone reasonably conservative is the only thing to achievable this election cycle.
