SO he thinks the UN has the authority to give these rights to every “world citizen”??

What the hell is a world citizen?

Damn. If only his actions would meet up with his words. Sigh

If only he had a fighting chance.... Damn. He just doesn't though.

He's saying all the right things but nobody's buying it and we're going to get stuck with Romney.

God, I'd love to be dead-wrong on this! But I'd bet my next paycheck that I'm not.

9 days before the next primary. 20 states to go with over 1,000 delegates, 45% of the total. Romney currently has 656 out of 1,144 needed to win the nomination. Romney is going to have a good day on April 24th most likely, but May is extremely favorable to conservative candidates almost all the way through. If Newt starts winning primaries in May, that could seriously build momentum and help this thing end up in a convention fight.

He sure is, and still in the RACE to win. It ain’t over by a long shot. Go Newt, win this one for all of us.

If in a country of 360 million people, we could find one million conservative Republicans to donate $10 each to Newt’s campaign, then he will have all the resources needed to go all the way to Tampa.
Please, good people, talk to your family members, friends, neighbors and co-workers and convince them to donate at least $10 at

https://www.newt.org/donate/

exclusively. It is the only secure way to make a donation!

“Romney currently has 656”

Romney currently has only 573 bound delegates (committed to vote for him at the convention). He needs 571 more to get to 1144.

So far he got 40% of the total votes only. He would need to get 62% in order to get the missing delegates. If Newt has a real shot at stopping Mitt from getting to 1,144 then it will go to convention. THIS is doable. I’ve just read that North Carolina lawmakers are on the point of endorsing Newt.

Whatever a mind of a man can see and believe, he can achieve! The idea and the stated goal comes before the achieving. I, too, love people who think “outside the box”.

No. Newt is saying that these rights are God given and no nation has the right to deprive its citizens of their God given rights.

Smart Move on Newt’s part....it is getting him the press and it’s early yet for the rest to catch on.... Let’s see where this goes...if it sets a fire or not. It might.

Newt’s playing hard ball don’t forget...and with limited resources and a blackout from the media...so whatever he says has to be strong enough to get attention...this is pretty heavtey stuff...and could very well get him face time the press refuses to give him....in a sense he spoke to the world so they’ll certainly be responding...even if the media here clamps down on him.

Sorry you can’t understand.

He said, plain English, these rights COME FROM OUR CREATOR.

He’s proposing they be recognized as in existance already, from God.

Moving on to others who CAN understand...

"If in a country of 360 million people ..."

Which country is that? Newt has over 100,000 donors, but if you have a way of developing a million man donor list, you should be in the business.
