All are blemished, but I’ll take the guy who was for the mandate before saying now he’s against it (I hope that’s so!) over the guy who instituted the mandate and now says he is against it.
On this basis, I simply can't support Newt as Presidential candidate. It's not the only reason, but it is a very critical, contemporary issue.
Newt actually supports such Commerce Clause Tyranny?
Just damn. He's as bad as Romney. He talks a good game, but when the rubber hits the road, he's a would-be globalist, socialist Tyrant.
This is to be our choice? Gingrich or Romney?
If so, we are doomed.
Not good. Repeal of ObamaCare in its entirety should be standard for any conservative candidate.
Yup. Another RINO.
Newt, while a great guy, is a walking time bomb that makes him unelectable. If Newt did not have the baggage, he would make a great candidate. But that baggage is an anchor so heavy that even the best ship can’t move it.
Just picture Newt’s fat derriere up in the air as he burrows behind the cushions on your couch for spare change that might be there to help pay for his Newtacare.
All you have to worry about is:
Is Newt more conservative than Mitt or Barack?
Everything else is wishing!
heartless!
:)
This is a dealbreaker for me. This one issue decides if we are a command-economy Soviet America, or if we are a capitalist society after all.
With Cain tanking fast and Gingrich rising and Romney holding steady, only one thought comes to my mind.........WE ARE SCREWED!!!!!
Cain was the last hope of electing a solid conservative, but it looks like the media and the Democrat machine has destroyed him.
Our only hope of ridding ourselves of ObamaReidPelosiCare rests with one man, Justice Anthony Kennedy. We know which four will strike it down (Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia) and which four will vote to uphold it (Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagen). Kennedy is the swing man. If he upholds then we are screwed. Obama will never repeal it and Romeny of Gingrich should they defeat Obama won’t repeal it either.
Newt Gingrich Responds to Controversy
This is from 5/18 a few days after his infamous David Gregory interview.
That seals his fate alone regardless of any other outstanding skill.
“Another one bites the dust”
SNIFF SNIFF.....Sign up date 11/11/2011 .....Welcome to FR. Member for ONE whole day before you sign up to bash Gingrich. Do you bash Cain under your old or other screen name?
This gets me to thinking that perhaps Newt is not the conservative I thought he was turning towards. How can he as a believer in the Constitution think health insurance is more of a national matter then a drivers license as a matter for national and individual freedom? Allowing individuals a federal to obtain health insurance is much different than mandating all individuals have some form of government sponsored insurance. If I don’t drive I don’t need auto insurance.
He supported Hillarycare, too.
Newt has baggage blah, blah,....Newt has baggage blah, blah,....So Obama doesn’t huh? Does Cain have baggage? Romney? Bachman? Rick? Paul? Huntsman? I rest my case.
Newt will replace ObamaKare with NewtKare.
Perry doesn't support amnesty - he just wants to let illegals become citizens and give them more free stuff.
Herman Caine isn't ready for Prime Time.
No one but the democrats believe Romney.
Ron Paul would start WW-III and it would take place right here.
No one can remember the names of those other people who get into the debates.
Ouch. I like Newt - but wow.
