A link or other forms of proof besides second hand conversation would be helpful.

I understand where you are coming from, I am unsettled about him and some of his past stances as well.

It's a tough decision we all have, and there's a journey for all of us to take as the primaries get close. As a fellow traveler, I wish you the best even if we take different roads for a while.

Obama is an unthinkable choice, he has to be voted out. I pray we can do that, and that our choice to replace him will be okay. Right now, I'm thinking that's all we have.

Before you start boosting Carolyn as a truth teller you might want to check her posting history. Someone that supported Guiliani and Romney while referring to us as “the far right” isn’t someone I’d want to agree with. Oh and, look at the dates too.

I understand how it works here, that’s why I mostly read and not post. I choose mature, reasoned, experienced, emotionally stable people to lead our country, not those with the best ability to be flame throwers.

Are u supporting Romney here?
Romney is who the Marxist and his media pals are praying for.
This entire anti rich , anti wall street , class warfare nonsense was a very careful set up by Van Jones. , Axelrod, and the Dem party media
to destroy rich boy Romney with day and night until election day
Romney owned a large venture capital firm , Romney has a palace in Lajolla being remodeled Costing millions.

If Newt wins alll this prearranged Axelrod
AstroTurf go to pot.

“He’s philosophically unanchored, an unstable element.”

America does not need more instability. Obama is the socialist Joker and now a new comic book character emerges: Mr. Cyclone full of bluster and hot air. This fascination for superheros doesn’t bode well for America. The bigger than life people will have big falls and this unfortunately involves the the nation. It’s an ill wind that blows no good.

Right. While throwing flames from someone who gushed over Obama. And supporting Guiliani and Romney. You like Rinos. You don’t like Gingrich. You post videos from 2005 as if they were recent. And refer to conservatives as “the far right”. I know how it works too.

It’s hard to take Noonan seriously when 3 years ago she was gushing about what a genius Obama was.
She even "admits" it:
The antipathy of the establishment not only is not hurting him at this early date, it may be helping him. It may be part of the secret of his rise. Because establishments, especially the Washington establishment, famously count for little with the Republican base:
"You're the ones who got us into this mess."
. . . because when she says "the establishment" in this case, she should be pointing at the mirror. Rush nailed it yesterday when he pointed out that just as "the greatest generation" was formed by the Great Depression, the Republican establishment was formed by the Great Debacle of 1964 - when the party nominated Barry Goldwater instead of the liberal establishment's preference of Nelson Rockefeller, and was swamped by Lyndon Johnson and hordes of Democrat senators and congressmen. And we got the awful "Great Society" mess it took us so long to unravel.

Fine, Peggy - but that was then, and this is now, and there's been a bit of history in between. Like 1980 and 1984, for instance, when the "right wing extremist" won, got the country going again, whipped inflation, and transcended communism. And like 1976, 1992, and 2008, when your wonderful moderate candidates lost to awful presidents, one worse than the next. And in the case of '08, you got a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate to go along with a San Francisco radical as Speaker of the House and a friend of Bill Ayers for a president. The further left you go with the Republican nominee, the worse the Democratic president will then be. Don't talk to me about 1964. That's ancient history, and you haven't learned a thing since before half of all Americans now living were even born.

If you're a gambler, Gringrich may be your guy.

If you like playing Russian Roulette with one empty chamber, Gingrich may be your guy.

Rush stated that yesterday newt reaffirmed his support for the INDIVIDUAL MANDATE... the cornerstone of obamacare... just before we try to destroy it early next year in the SCOTUS. You people are delusional.

I agree with you. But people like Sean Hannity keep working into every conversation that Newt "has changed" and Newt "is a grandfather now". Me? I don't think a 68 year old leopard can change it's spots. I think conservatives that are cheerleading for Newt are doing so out of desperation - and that's not a good place to be in at this point.

Just hope that Newt hurries and implodes in the next week or so - get this out of the way before the main election. You KNOW there are people sitting on Newt baggage - just waiting for the train to leave the station - so they can obliterate him before he gets a chance to "wipe the floor" with Obama in a debate.

Sigh.

If Gingrich is such as GRAND candidate, why didn’t he jump to the head of the pack when he first announced in May?

Instead, he struggled around the 10% level for months, until he became the front-runner-by-default.

That is what the GOP has to offer?

Newt converted to Roman Catholicism after he took up with Callista, but until 4 days ago, he wouldn’t say that life begins at conception. Why now? Oh yay, he’s still reinventing himself.

That's not true. I heard him say life begins at conception at least 1.5 months ago during this speech at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition.

I don’t recall that Newt has ever supported a kind of individual mandate on par with Obama/Romneycare. You’re making an apples & oranges comparison here.

pro-small government

His Red-Card-for-Legalizing-Illegals could legalize millions. And it is going to take a new level of bureaucracy to process and keep up with the Red Card program.
