great question that few can answer.
Newt remains the consummate think tank guru and hope fully he will stay there after coming out and having his moment in the sun.
Backfire on Gregory ....calling Newt “RACIST” for calling Ubama the Food Stamp President !!
Newt let him have it !!
Hooray Newt !!
If experience and knowledge were the criteria, why surely BobDole and Juan McCain would have won. It does explain the GOP penchant for picking over-the-hill, next-in-line losers, however.
Hint: Newt would be pushing 69 when he took office for his first term. (Just going along with the suspect idea that he could be elected.)
Defending oneself from made up racist charges when few if any running for office fit the bill just plays right into the hand of the (when did you stop beating your wife) mentality of left. They know it works since it beat Hillary when all they did was spin statements made by Bill.
When racist charges are made only bold statement made back to the left can counter the charges. If you are weak in your responses or go on the defensive, they win we lose,IMHO.
It;s the last playing card for the far left,when all else fails accuse us of being racist. It usually fires up their base and we are all too often too weak to respond.
Paul says we should have told Pakistan where bin Laden was and let them arrest him. If he is that naive, then he will never get my vote.
“Opposite on Newt, I think he brings the realities that the media wishes to ignore”
I do like the way he shot back on how the left always pulls the race card, when his past remark about BHO being the “food stamp President” was called racist by the press. (Yesterday when I heard him say that, I joked to a friend that it was a “racist” remark ‘cause I just knew the leftist media would go there.)
I also liked his answer to DG’s question “Don’t you think the President believes in American exceptionalism?” To which Newt said, “No, I don’t”.
Honest answer to Mr. Snarky.
Thanks, Rodguy, for the Newt and Dave report.
If only Newt didn’t sometimes have difficulty with the message and always have difficulty with himself as the messenger, he could work...
lol, calling obama the “food stamp” president makes you a racist? obama is leading the country on the path toward Detroit (surprised THAT wasn’t considered racist).
Newt says obama doesn’t believe in American Exceptionalism. Newt is right.
Yeah for sure, hes an 80 percenter. But caving to the left all the time and not supporting people like Ryan make for his down fall,IMHO.
Believe me, I would not want to miss that match up.!!!
I think I could vote for Newt, despite my deep, deep disappointment in his caving in the face of the '94 (or whenever it was) shutdown. I think Newt is just another flavor of NWO/Washington, DC face.
THIS IS ONE MEAN AND UGLY BROAD!
Yeesh..and that accent...yeah. She tries to make it sound sooo important.
I too think he will not stand the test of time we shall see.
Round table discussion about Newt on MTP - Peggy Noonan’s take on Newt - when Newt was being interviewed, everyone in the green room stopped and listened.
Halperin says he is one of the most underrated potential candidates.
Thanks for the summary and your comments.
Just heard Newt trying to position himself as a moderate on the reform of Medicare. Compares the Ryan plan as radical change from the Right. The fact is that only radical change will be needed. Health care drives the budget deficits and it will get worse as the Baby Boomer cohort retires.
“One thing I am giving up on is demanding perfection. I am going to try to think strategically about who I support to go up against the worst President in U S history.”
Amen, FRiend.
“This is not a beauty contest or a morality play. This is survival of the Republic. We have to decide, who is the most conservative candidate who can actually win.”
You’re a realist and well-spoken on this. We MUST GET BHO OUT and the only way is to pick the strongest persona who can kick Marxist butt in one-on-one confrontations.
I’m enjoying the answers from some strong R’s to the hostile media this morning like Haley and Newt.
