Why do you let the media dictate who your candidate will be? Deep down, many of you LOVE Newt, but are afraid to support him. Get over it. Grow a set. Quit doing what the media wants you to do. Romney hasn't faced any resisence from the media, yet he is the frontrunner? Now.... why is that? You do the math.
Look at the field..... Romney and Pawlenty.... lame and lamer. Romney is hailed as the economic expert, but Newt's economic plan was just rated an 'A' from Investors Business Daily. And they say he: "put forth one of the most laudable economic plans in memory". Romney is weak on pretty much everything else. ....and Pawlenty is weaker.
Cain.... Right on issues, but clearly lacking depth. His "I'm a real black man" comment will crush him if he actually gets the nomination. Even Republicans will reject that garbage.
Bachmann...... pretty good, but will it last? Can she win independents? Newt will not only win independents, buy also Democrats. It remains to be seen with Bachmann.
Santorum.... fairly solid. But..... his ability to win over moderates and even Democrats is fairly limited. This run is great for his future, and might land him a VP slot, but his chances of winning the nomination are very slim.
Huntsman.... RINO
Ron Paul....... very good on financial stuff, naive on national security. Will never be more than a fringe contender.
Perry..... overrated at this point.
Gary Johnson.... please. Looked totally nervous and awkward in his first and last debate.
Palin..... right on issues, but like Cain..... lacking the depth. If you disagree, picture Newt and Palin on stage discussing a topic..... any topic..... for 2 hours straight. The lack of knowledge, understanding, and experience would be clearly evident. She might even pull out a pad & pencil, and start taking notes.
You are a coward if you are writing off Newt Gingrich this early. Look at what your candidate says, does, etc.... and compare them to what Newt says. They are inferior, and you know it. Go Newt!
You are a coward if you are writing off Newt Gingrich this early. Look at what your candidate says, does, etc.... and compare them to what Newt says.You're right. You'd have to be a real genius to blow your campaign on day one, go on an extended vacation on day two then have your entire staff walk off the job on day three...Yeah, some really brilliant moves there.
Newt looks like a Cheshire cat with a sh!t eating grin.
Does RLC stand for Republican Lite Club?
How many 2012 candidates have made TV ads with Nancy Pelosi for Al Gore’s global warming ad campaign? I can only think of one.
C'mon, give us more Newt positives and put down the punching bag against other conservatives in the race.
Newt is toast and he knows it, you should know it and most here know it!

One flaw that Palin and Newt have in common is that they are both quitters.
NOOOOOOOOOOT!
How can you NOT be a Newt Gingrich fanboy (or girl)? ....that's my question. Are you afraid because the media fears Newt? What candidate do you support that can out debate Gingrich?
Wow, debate skills. That is really going to go far when the majority of the voting population couldn't even tell you who the current vice president is. Haven't we learned our lesson yet about academic types who want to be president? Wilson? Soetoro? now Gingrich?
Why on earth did you think that Schwarzenegger became GOP governor of Kalifornia? Was it his eloquent and articulate silvertongue? Or was it that he is nothing more than a white version of President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho?
I'm not afraid of Gingrich, I am afraid of the losers, seditionists and political hacks that are in his Rolodex for the myriad of appointed positions.
Its the current crop of professors and political types who all know what is best for you and the guy thousands of miles away from you with their grand convoluted Rube Goldberg One Size Fits All Legislation that for some odd reason always carries the same attributes of costing you money and freedom while simultaneously enriching the new "PC" - Politically Connected.
I understand your support for Newt but I do not want him as president. This is due to the fact that he has made some seriously poor decisions in the past. With that said, I DO like the majority of his ideas about how to fix this nation and I think people need to listen to these and seriously consider them. Newt would be awesome in the cabinet somewhere or in an advisory position.
To categorically declare Newt a 100% loss is ignorant and, you are right, it is something the liberals would love to see.
I do not yet know who I’m supporting. Romney is absolutely OUT for me....as are Huntsman and Ron Paul. I very much like Michele Bachmann and am still considering Pawlenty though I wish he had taken on “Obamneycare” during the last debate. I like Santorum but I don’t think he has the necessary numbers. I would very much like to see Rick Perry get into this. Also...If Bolton gets in....he can highlight the incredible fiasco of foreign policy that Obama is responsible for....but that’s all. I hope Trump does NOT decide to get back in as an independent. That would definitely split the vote.
It’s still somewhat early....but things should get a lot more interesting soon.
I hope we are all praying for this election. ;-)
I’ll be superficial then, He looks old, McCain old, and older than President Reagan old. He’s pining for the fjords....
