Newt is back: How Gingrich vs. Obama became the GOP's dream matchup

He's baaack!

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is back in the saddle after falling off his horse at the starting line. At least according to one poll (Public Policy Polling), Mr. Gingrich is actually the GOP front-runner.

Many say it's simply Mr. Gingrich's turn to be the not-Mitt contender, now that Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain have had their chances.

But that's not entirely fair. Speaker Gingrich has been relentlessly seducing GOP voters in the debates. Mitt Romney may have been winning on points and technicalities, but Mr. Gingrich has been consistently winning the crowds.

LOL Well, right, he’s a weasel. I don’t think Romney believes his own words from day to day.

[hosepipe]

Everyone thats not Myth Romney is not Mitt... including me..
Only Myth is Mitt..

Theres something wrong with Romney...
else the people of Massachusetts would NOT like him..

They do... those people just love Myth Romney..
RINOs love Myth too.. and journalist democrats.. they love him..

The stink of Myth Romney only conservatives can smell..
Heck Sarah Palin still stinks a little like Juan Mclaim...
Shes washed it off somewhat... McLaim is a skunk..

These moderates stink... some of them are ripe..
Romney stinks can you smell him?...

Personally.. i refuse to vote for newt.

I wont vote for him in the primary and I wont vote for him in the general if he is forced on us.

Im F’ing tired of liberal M’er F’ing GOP CS’ers. Give me a real deal limited government constitutional conservative or go the F away and leave me alone.

No compromise. Never again....

I just found out that Newt appeared on Greta’s tonight.

I know I knew that, but I forgot, so I am going to watch the replay!

Just watched my thoroughbred, Sarah Palin, on with Hannity on the replay of his show!

Didn’t know that the guy featured on 60 Minutes who wrote the book “Throw Them All Out” works for her in her PAC!

She’s far from done!

I would rather have a Conservative new to politics like Herman Cain which is what we said we wanted in TEA party candidates. Not a guy who's been in politics since the 50’s, and supported the extremely liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava, in the 2009 for in a New York special election(along with the log cabin Republicans, instead of the Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman who was endorsed by Sarah Palin, and Fred Thompson. The race was close, and Hoffman had a real chance to win. The RINO Dede Scozzafava made other RINO’s look like hardcore Conservatives. She was a distant third, and ended up dropping out and endorsing the democrat candidate who went on to win.

I don't think their is anyway for someone to defend themselves in supporting a Republican who was so liberal she wouldn't be voting Conservative on most issues. This happened in 2009, and it is a pretty big deal in my opinion. Almost every Conservative was supporting Hoffman in the race, and Gingrich had no reason to be supporting her, except he was putting the Republican party before Conservative principle. I don't see how there are so many TEA party people who are bypassing the Conservative Cain in favor of career politicians who have made some extremely questionable political decisions in their past.

Thanks for posting these video links. Everything from what I see and hear from Newt Gingrich makes me ever the more impressed. This is the guy who would turn Washington upside down and flush out the looney left big time.

Actually, looney left isn't the word. The word is dangerous left.

I would vote for Joe Lieberman before the Newt.

we pubbies have four or five who could do so much better than the current pResident, and do it on more conservative terms. But I believe Newt had the ability to crush the democrat machine if elected. And I know he would appoint Constitution respecting judges rather than transactional socialist like the two barry has seated. It will be a rocky ride when Newt is swron in because the leftist media —which is all of the scummy frauds— will be working overtime to destroy the conservative momentum for ending the secular rot in America.

[MHGinTN]

BTW, I have many more videos of Newt addressing the issues of our age, if you have a particvualr issue you would like to review.

[A CA Guy]

Prefer him to Romney, but it isn’t the best we have IMO.

[no dems]

Newt said the Obama refuses to debate, he will follow him where ever he goes and give a speech 4 hours after Obama. The debates will happen.

WOW!!! If Newt is the nominee, buy stock in popcorn. This will be the most entertaining Presidential Campaign we've had in a long time.

Here's a campaign you can probably get into. Do a Google search of a guy named Ron Paul.

I would vote for Joe Lieberman before the Newt.

Joe Lieberman is a pro-abortion, big government loving, tax-and spend liberal.

Who are these conservatives who would vote for a pro-abortion, big government loving, tax-and spend liberal over Newt Gingrich?

A few more posts from Capitalism-hating members of said crowd are sure to follow (”Newt (made money as a consultant! Throw him in Jail!”)

Yes, the anti-business, class envy crowd, is growing by leaps and bounds.

I like Cain, (and Palin, unfortunately not running) and Bachmann. Unfortunately, none of them have put forth a solid game plan for America's future. Gingrich, warts and all, has a plan called "21st Century Contract with America."

Too bad so few FReepers have bothered to spend 36 minutes of their precious "bash everyone" time to learn what the man has to say.

The anti-business, class envy crowd are not conservatives, and are misrepresenting themselves on this board.

Ron Paul is an asshole who blames the United States for 9/11.

No conservative would ever vote for that idiot.

Yup. I think we're saying the same thing. I am a free enterprise, entrepreneurial, very conservative businessman.

I can relate to this:

He presides over lobbyists. Doubt he makes any contacts himself. But he earns his living by lobbying, and other stuff. So does Dick Armey, his foe.

[Gator113]

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry I missed the fun. LOL

[onyx]

He does? I don’t think so.
