Candidate Newt Gingrich: Competent, Consistent, Calm, Convincing and Catholic

Did he go through the same three year hell I went through to get married in the Church?

If not -- he's off the list.

[ha maker]

That sums it up nicely for me.

Cain’s my guy so far, but I wouldn’t mind Newt. (Just like I wouldn’t mind Santorum and Bachmann, either.)

[cva66snipe]

Good Grief people have such very short memories. Newt quit and went home remember? He quit at a very critical time. Reliable? No hardly. Convincing? Not in my book. What what he does as much as what he says. What Cabinet position does Nancy get? Can Trent Lott or either Liberal Dole be his VP? The Good Ole GOP would be just like them good ole days.

[Parley Baer]

“No way”

Now that is the attitude. I did not think it was possible, but hey not only do I think we can re-elect Obama but have Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house again. 2008 all over again. I really think we can do it. Go Obama, go Reid, go Nancy. The glory days are just around the corner.

For me, after Sarah dropped out, I have been completely turned off to everything political. I just don’t even care anymore. I’m old and I will simply have to leave fixing the country to all you younger folks. I don’t have any heart left for it. I gave it all to Sarah. If I live until the election and if there is even an election, I will probably vote for Newt on the simple fact that he knows what he’s doing.

Wait! Did you know that Newt sold out to Freddie Mac in 2006-2007 for $300,000? His goal was to thwart any reform of Freddie along with Fannie from conservatives call to reform it before the 2008 economic collapse? His cronyism is a no go for me, I doubt that Sarah even knows about this!

[dandiegirl]

I will take Newt’s Christian past and present over the fake Christian Muslim in the WH any day. I don’t really care about his divorce.

[loreldan]

You have my support, Newt. Don’t screw it up.

[Paperdoll]

LOL! A day late and a dollar short.. We don’t need no stinkn’ career politicians in the oval office! That house needs fumigation and lots of fresh air to restore the dignity it deserves. And Herman Cain is the fresh air with all the tools in his toolbox to fix the myriad of problems the Communists in government have brought to the American people over many years. Newt could be useful in a good cabinet position, but I wouldn’t want him in charge of the button.

You mean that raging fire...?

“I mean, Catholics I thought believed in one wife, no divorce. Not to mention infidelity.”

Newt converted to Catholicism in 2009. Not that he believed in divorce or infidelity prior to his conversion. And you obviously know nothing about the circumstances of his divorce.

As for your other comments, try to conduct just a minimal amount of research before you post.

Why would Palin endorse Newt?

Newt is the smartest announced candidate, he knows the turf, he is articulate, he is an expert debater. BUT he is on the wrong team.

He is a Consummate Elitist Pubbie POL. He endorsed the AGW lie and would sell us (We the People) into a hellish global government. I cannot and will not vote for Newt or Romney for the same reason. They are both against We the People and for the Globalists and their own financial interests.

They are both liars. (neither is stupid or gullible) Both are traitors to We the People,

[al baby]

man that’s gonna leave a mark

RE:"I wonder how the divorce of his ailing wife, dying of cancer fits in to his faith? I mean, Catholics I thought believed in one wife, no divorce. Not to mention infidelity"

He said he cheated on his wife to 'save the country'. What do you have against patriots??? LOL

If you’re a Gingrich supporter, you probably should have read the comments at your link before posting it.

[jageorge72]

I hope you guys are happy when you end up with Mitt Romney. Perry is a dunce, and Cain is way out of his league here. His most thought out idea is 999, and it ain’t happening. He is clueless on foreign policy. When Mitt Romney is the nominee.... you will be wishing you gave Newt a chance.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Thwack!

[Paperdoll]

I once posted a montage of many Obama videos where he admitted being Muslim. In an interview prior to the last Presidential election, with Bob Schieffer he said, “my Muslim faith”. B.S. said, “You mean your Christian faith”, and Obama muttered, “oh oh, yes, my Christian faith”. He’ll say anything for a vote.

Herman Cain is catching on because you just cannot fake who Herman Cain is.

Please help him by sending your generous checks:

Thank you. God bless America!

[BereanBrain]

I did. He claimed to be Southern Baptist at the time, divorced, and then converted.

You should research the facts as to the timing of the divorce, and the who/why.

We can do better. Sad to say, but he disqualifies himself through his personal actions even though he is a VERY gifted in the area of Policy/Politics.

[Bigtigermike]

They ALL really stink...including Newt. This is not about finding a perfect candidate but about finding out that these candidates are seriously flawed and offer no real solutions but status quo... blah..blah..blah.
