The moderates lost in 2008. The conservatives won in 2010. Let the former Republican GOP elite chew on that, if they will lose decisively in 2012.
Why I support Newt Gingrich, Posted by garfieldjl (Diary)
“A Romney supporter asked me to post why I think Gingrich is the best candidate. So here it goes.
The reasons I support Gingrich are the following.
He gives big ideas, and proposes solutions to fix things, not kick the can down the road. I want things fixed, not popping up again 5 years later.
He knows Washington DC politics, he knows about how everything has been mismanaged, and like the bullet-point above he proposes solutions.
He is able to take the MSM to task and make them look like idiots on live TV.
I think he is fairly charismatic, which would help against Obama.
Unlike the ideologue in the White House, Gingrich comes up with tons of ideas, while this is incredibly annoying when things are going well for the country, it is critical for when we are in crisis. If idea A doesn’t work, Gingrich won’t keep trying to use A, he’ll switch to B, if that doesn’t work he’ll go to C.
His record as Speaker of the House, Contract with America, a Balanced Budget, etc.
The fact the establishment hates him, he may once have been an insider, but he’s clearly an outsider now.
He’s able to explain Conservatism a lot better than the other candidates.
He would be incredibly hard for Obama to attack, because Obama’s own baggage would get in the way.
Gingrich has a clear line of attack on Obama’s baggage.
I admire Gingrich’s determination and refusing to give up.”
