In a race between Obama and Gingrich, Obama will be the family values candidate.

Sadly, the scenario is being worked even as we speak.

"Better yet, stone him!"

Eeverybody must git stoned!!! Remember that???

The thing I'm having trouble understanding about this article is how Tea Party enthusiasts are enthused with the ultimate Washington Insider, and worse yet, a big government "CONservative!" A man who inCONsistently slides from gunnel to gunnel like one of the loosest cannons in naval history!!!

Fear and panic is keeping them from supporting at least two other righteous conservatives still in the hunt. What a serious shame!!!

It's just like the shameful end of the most historic recall election in California's history which gave us a worse governor than Gray Davis! History, repeating it'self to the detriment of the whole nation this time. Breathtaking!!!

These damned RINO's are NOT authentic conservatives, yet we let our fears overcome our better judgement and jump on a really dumb bandwagon!!!

Ok, flame away! I haven't been properly roasted for my consistent opinions for quite awhile now. So please don't put me on the Gingrinch Ping list for goodness sake!!!

Seems like were are slowly but surely being led to believe that Mitt or Newt are our only choices. Both are less then desirable, but we are being led to believe they are our only choices. This happened in our last election when we were stuck with McCain.

Newt could be our leader to dismantle the Washington Bureaucracy. This is exciting.

Newt believes in government...and the bureaucracy.

He is confident that he can run it "better".

I doubt we'll see much in the way of government shrinkage in a Gingrich administration.

>> The evangelical vote? Sure! why not? /s <<

He's certainly made an effort for it. Newt's whole "I found Jesus" story is continually and exclusively used by his campaign to sway Evangelical protestant voters despite the fact he was a protestant and became Catholic. He never bothers appearing at religious events with his "fellow" Catholics in Iowa even though there are nearly as many Catholic voters as evangelicals there. Apparently he feels he is entitled to our votes by default simply because he calls himself a Catholic.

Can you say A-R-R-O-G-A-N-T? ;-)

“I doubt we’ll see much in the way of government shrinkage in a Gingrich administration. “

Sure he will. He is the only candidate that has a record of eliminating a federal program. Remember? The republicans reformed welfare. Democrats cried that it would create havoc and hurt people. Ended up to be a win win for everyone.

Newt can do that again, don’t you think?

Titan, I'm not sure why you bother posting anything concerning Gingrich. The threads invariably become breeding grounds for insults thrown at fellow FReepers.

Some of the comments are about as nasty as this guy's irrational hatred:

Exactly.

Newt is being pushed to knock the other candidates out of the race. Once that objective is accomplished, conservatives will be forced to choose between Newt and Romney, and Romney will win that match up.

Hi Sierra,

No flaming here. I understand your frustration. I consider myself a Tea Party sympathizer (haven’t attended any rallies). I think this entire primary season can be characterized as being schizophrenic for us. I hate the RINO’s as much as you do and yet I admit: I’m afraid of another 4 years of Obama.

And so I find myself hopping from one foot to the next. Is Gingrich everything I want? No. Do I think the United States can limp along under a Gingrich presidency? Yes. Will it limp along long enough for someone better to come along? Maybe. Will the United States survive another 4 years of Obama? No. Am I going to sit home on election day and clean my firearms while watching election returns and preparing for the worst? Maybe.

I remember that recall very well and I got taken in by Schwarzenegger and I will go to my grave regretting that vote. Do I want to make that same mistake? No. In the end, so many questions and doubts. Lots of uncertainty out there.

Best Regards

“...why the distinction of “white’?”

Much less in IA where the non-white population is about 4%.

I'd almost like Newt to become POTUS just to see Bill Maher's head explode. Hey, Bill, suicide is painless...

...if you do it right. Hope it's televised.

LOL...SOT
