Not that I have any plans to vote for News, but why do you call him a RINO? It seams to me the word is thrown out much to easily
He Lied (as usual)
When we put forward elderly legislators, like Bob Dole or McCain, we lose.
He can’t win because he’s a sellout and a pantywaist. The republican electorate is not what it was (I hope).
Everyone else comes out on the stage, not Newt, he comes in through the audience shaking hands to that tune.......didn't sit with me too well........He seems to have a view of himself as REALLY IMPORTANT
I would like to see a Paul Ryan or Jim DeMint run.
The man is delusional to think he has a chance. He should write books and give speeches.
Around here we called her Dede Skeefooza. She was just a democRAT who couldn’t get elected in a republican district.
Yeah, and Newtie supported über-rino Dede Scuzzyfuzzy in NY 23 against true conservative Doug Hoffman.
I would vote for Newt. I think he speaks well, can tear up a lib in a debate. He’s taken a lot of arrows from the left and come out fighting.
The first comment I see under the article nails it for me. Obama is a worse demagogue than Newt, but Newt has far more experience. He speaks well. It’s Newt’s kissing up to Nancy, especially over climate change, gives me agita.
I see Newt as basically a dishonest person, which would bother me, but doesn’t disqualify him from the presidency for me. I don’t demand my president to be honest. Honesty, IMHO, is important for people who don’t pay attention to politics, which is why Obama’s base doesn’t understand what a friccin’ liar he is. I expect POTUS to be capable and understand what this country stands for. This brings me back to the climate problem.
Newt has one thing I like. He thinks outside the box, and has ideas.
Yep - if he was a true Conservative, he would be hard to beat because he really is smart. I met Haley Barbour at a Promise Keepers convention a few years back - engaging, Christian, and probably smarter than any of the Repub possibles. Right now I'd like to see him or Palin and possibly a joint ticket if someone can figure out the dynamics for it to fly.
I remember Newt declaring that he had the utmost respect for Hillary Clinton and that she was doing a good job as SofS. That is an eliminator right there. Did he respect the 500 FBI files she had her goon squad collect, or did he respect her trashing of Flowers, the White House assistant (forgot name), or when she arranged to have the whole village of Orthodox Jews stuff the ballot box for a payoff later. Newt needs to go away.
Once Newt led the pubbie takover of Congress he allowed them to spend MY money like it was sea water.
Then he cozied up to Nancy and Hillary and tried to make nice with the vermin scum of the democrat party that also want to “TAKE MY MONEY” to use as they see fit.
These big spending turds can ALL kiss my rear end.
NO to RINO crap.
and demagogues don’t get elected president of the United States.
Unless they’re thin, tall, half black, and, as Senator Reid says, capable of skillfully adopting a “Negro dialect” when consiously choosing to do so.
He will lose a massive amount of the female vote just by the opposition constantly reminding the public he told his first wife he was divorcing her as she lay in a hospital after cancer surgery
He will be branded as a cold heartless bastard
It may not be politically rational, but there it is
Here is the definition of demagogue from the Merriam-Webster dictionary online
“a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power”
That describes most democrats.
At about the same time as clintoon was hitting on Lewinsky and after it became public, Newt was still plumbing the hired help.
