Newt reinvents himself at will. Who will he end up being?Only Newt knows.
I can say that if Obama is not stopped ths time. It is over.
Jim Thompson couldn’t have said it any better!
I won’t go into the degrees of puzzlement and frustration I have felt with those accusing Newt of being a RINO. He scored between 90 and 100% when in office according to the ACU, and you’ve listed the extensive conservative accomplishments that, at the time. nobody else could have accomplished.
Then I realized the key passage in your text:
“Now, if a progressive RINO had been in charge of the congress during this period, who knows what would have happened. I’m sure the history would have been a lot different. Remember, before Gingrich and his Republican Majority, we conservatives had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years!! And our country was on life support after Jimmy Carter nearly killed it. And the democrats were saying at the time that there was nothing we could do about it. We were going to be stuck with the cold war. Stuck with the Soviet Union, stuck with Iran. Stuck with high oil prices, gas lines and rationing. Stuck with recession, high interest rates, high inflation and high unemployment from that point forward. They could not be fixed. Jimmy Carter and the democrats had given up on America and surrendered the USA to our fate as a failed nation.”
Jim, we remember this. We lived through it. We see the exact same thing happening now that was happening from the mid 70’s until the Reagan Revolution. But, many of our fellow FReepers weren’t born or weren’t old enough to remember the times or who the players were that got us out of that mess....Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich.
Just like Reagan was much more than a conservative, he was a warrior...a revolutionary, that is the type of leader we need now. And that is Newt. He will bring the fight to them. He will go over their heads directly to the American people and lay waste to the progtards.
Newt is the man to defeat Barrack O’Romney and lead the revolution.
LOL.
They hate him because he’s their opposite and something they can never and will never be. He’s a genuine, pro-life, deficit cutting, tax cutting, budget balancing, small government, big defense, democrat whomping, Reagan conservative!
Newt has my vote no matter what. I’m so disappointed in Bachman refusing to attend Trumps debate. He would be tough and obviously Newt and Santorum are the only ones with balls and can handle the office of President. The others to me can go to hell.
You betcha!
Calling some of our Team.
Yes.
It's too bad this more sober estimation of Gingrich is not what presently characterizes the support he is getting from conservatives.
I am amazed and dismayed at the fawning treatment this man is receiving.
The elites and other Republican “insiders” hate Newt because Newt is from the Reagan wing of the party, while they are all from the HW Bush wing of the party, which has held sway since Reagan left office.
If Newt wins... THEY LOSE, they lose their power over the Republican party, conservatives... real reagan conservatives will have finally retaken back the leadership of the Republican party from the RINO Bush family that nearly destroyed it and the country.
God Bless Newt Gingrich !
I meant to update my tag line
RE: They voted for Clinton in droves. He made his wife a fool and an accomplice in his infidelity.
I’m all for Newt and think he will crush Barrack O’Romney in a relative landslide, but women voted for Clinton, as they always do for the “swoon” candidate, because of the orgasm factor. Newt would not be the recipient of the orgasm factor even if he was the pillar of virtue.
Do not think anyone was talking about blankets. But newt supports amnesty, always has.
SCOTUS! Just look at Elena Kagan!!!
Your post is excellent and it should be helpful to many.
For the good of our country, we simply must come together and get behind Newt.
I have long been convinced that Newt is the one candidate that can beat Romney and go on to stop Obama’s War on America. I am equally convinced that if Obama and the democrats were to remain in power, our country will be lost.
I can’t thank you enough for that very thoughtful and persuasive post.
We ALL love our country and we ALL need to work together to save her.
Go Newt Go......
He was for GW (global warming), as well as cap & trade.
I'm sure not seeing any of that here.

Newt was my choice from the beginning. I’m old enough to remember the accomplishments he made as speaker. I also heard him speak through the years after he was speaker. I kept up with his ideas for resolving problems as the nation faced them. He never went away - he was always there.
I gave Perry a chance since he’s my governor, but know him and thought he would have trouble getting the right words out, and he did. He doesn’t have the capability, knowledge, of Newt and that’s just the way it is.
If we don’t have Newt instead of Obama, I am sure in my mind that America will perish.
Newt ain't the best hand we could play, you know what I mean by that, but he's a good enough hand to win with and help start turning things around.
Anybody, even Ron Paul, is better than Romney.
Until I've seen the actual election day results from Iowa, South Carolina and Florida, I will continue to support Gov. Perry. After that I'll assess the situation.
I have two goals: defeating Romney and Obama. I think Perry can do it, but if it turns out to be Newt instead, that's fine by me.
Newt used his own money and bought his wife jewelry, unlike your guy, mittens.
Newt is beating romney by 20%+ in FL, PA and OH, three states that we need and as an Sarah guy, then a Hermanator, I'm starting to come around to Newt.
One thing I know for sure about Newt, no one can intimidate him and since his "baggage" is all out there, the media can dump on him, but he won't run and hide.
Yep! IAC, if the "rock" doesn't get used, obamao is assured of not just a 2nd term. A 3rd and 4th will be easily within reach by the time his 2nd term has run its course.
However, IMHO, it IS over-the-cliff the Nation going to go, eventually. Even if (and that is a big "if") we get the rock under the wheel, the need to prepare for the chaos ahead continues unabated.
