So if he’s been wrong on certain things we should ignore him on everything else, and advance Obama’s national death wish. Good idea.

I agree. Why don’t we just crucify everyone who has done one thing we don’t like. Then we will have NOBODY to speak out except for bloggers on the internet. Eventually they will go away and then we can live under the rule of the evil Kenyan POS dictator for the rest of our lives.
Nailhead, meet Mister Hammer.
I agree. Probably 50% of the critics on FR now are leftist trolls. The below article link from Andrew Breitbart exposes what is going on with the left and their infiltration of Right Wing sites. As observed on FR in the last several months, no matter which conservative leader is put forward in a article, a host of long knives come out. But, these critics claim to be staunch conservatives and patriots. I suspect most are not, most of the others may be well meaning, but are executing a losing strategy for the battle of our time.

People who call Newt or Hannity RINO is out of their mind. Or better - they show dictatorial state of mind, more often displayed by Dems, but not reserved exclusively to them. What about difference of opinion? Should we all march lockstep? I don’t want to be in a crowd shouting one word in unison.
So Newt made some mistakes and expressed opinions not 100% that I support. So far I did not see Mark Steyn called some names and Thomas Sowell. That’s it. I agree they are great. But if you require a perfection that only few people can withstand, you will stand by yourself, alone. Its one thing to want clarity that an accidental co-traveler like Powell is not really a conservative. Another thing all-together to cast out people like Newt or Hannity - its counterproductive to say the least.

*sigh* Went through this during the whole nominating process. If we don’t get the PERECT, ABSOLUTELY 100% PURE CANDIDATE, we’ll be nominating the infamous RINO, and hence, cannot win.
Beyond his little dabble with Global Warming, Newt’s plenty conservative enough for me.
There are more than a few ideologue on this site who would and have done just that. It allows them to continue to live in their own little political fantasy world where everybody votes as a perfect, in their eyes, conservative.
They have never understood Voltaire’s simple admonition, “The perfect is the enemy of the good”

There are some conservatives who appear to operate more from an emotional base rather than a logical one at times. I must admit I have been guilty of this once or twice myself. We need to remember that NO one is perfect. We all make mistakes occasionally. Overall, Newt is very good on the issues, well-organized, has learned from history, and is a darn creative problem-solver.
I agree also! If a person doesn’t promote themselves to some degree, no one will know they exist! Almost any one, except Christ has a shadow or two in thier past. Newt has done some wrongs, as well, but I respect his intelligence. He is FAR smarter than the man in the WH.
You know what's ironic? I'll bet that if we could look back on the records of all these holier-than-thou FReepers who want to decapitate every GOP politician who's ever done one thing wrong, we'd find that every last one of these FReepers had something we could accuse them of being a RINO about. Every single one.
