Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia said Tuesday that he plans to start campaigning in North Carolina next week ahead of the state's May 8 GOP presidential primary. He talked by phone with staff writer Rob Christensen about his prospects, his differences with the other candidates, and his hopes for a brokered convention.
"Look, Sen. Santorum voted against the right to work law. He voted for every minimum wage increase. He actually offered a minimum wage increase of 21 percent himself. He voted consistently for Davis-Bacon to help big labor and increased the cost of construction for every local government in the country. He even voted against waiving Davis-Bacon in emergency situations like Hurricane Katrina. I think we represent sort of different wings of conservatism." (Davis-Bacon is a 1931 law that requires governments to pay the prevailing local wage on public works projects.)
"My proposals are much bolder than his. My American energy plan would lead to $2.50 or less per gallon of gasoline and is much bolder than either Romney or Santorum. My proposal for a 15 percent flat tax as an option is bolder. My proposal to replace the civil service laws with a modern management system is much bolder. So I really represent more of the Reagan visionary stream of conservatism. And that makes me disinclined to want to get out of the race."

Courage isn't defined as sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi or supporting a liberal Republican candidate like Dede Scozzafava when she was running a conservative that can win.
You're simply making Newt into something he never has been.
You're proof of how one's bias blind one to reality when one becomes a rabid supporter of a candidate.
But, you are like a Cub fan, showing immense loyalty toward a candidate that, like the Cubs, isn't going to win the ultimate prize.

Courage certainly isn’t endorsing Arlen Specter.
Courage certainly isn’t voting against right to work because the corrupt unions control your state.
Courage isn’t being sanctimonious, self-righteous and proclaiming to your followers, “God called me to do this.”
Courage isn’t stealing other people’s ideas and using them as your own because you are mentally deficient and vision challenged.
that’s just a start, but I don’t waste my time with santorum supporters any more too stubborn, too blind, too sanctimonious, I hope you understand.
If you care to check it out, you will see that my sources are all from news outlets, and only ones I consider reliable. You need to give it up - your responses are repetitive, old, tired, disingenuous, and plain ol' stupid, as well as unconvincing. FACTS, REALITY. Try 'em you'll like 'em. Or maybe not.
So he gets to post stupid stuff he knows is untrue, because there are Newt supporters who bring up Santorum supporting Mitt in 2008. That's the obama moral code - two wrongs make a right. I thought conservatives were better than that... I surely thought Saint Rick was better than that.
And just for the records, naps, I have never posted that because I didn't even know about romney in 2008, or santorum or newt for that matter. so quit making me pay for other people's sins, or I will have to ask you for reparations... :)
You still are cute as a button... you have quite a fan club here, I hope you know. And for someone who supports the worst possible presidential candidate ever, that's saying something!
GOD BLESS YOU MR. NAPS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
Like to know the news outlets you consider “reliable”?
Please stop telling me who I am and what I am like. You don’t know me. Why don’t render some of that psychoanalysis towards Saint Rick, “called by God”, as he likes to call himself. Talk about rabid.
