My Tea Party signs have a place of honor in my garage until it’s time to rally and use them again. I recognize the mistakes Gingrich has made in the past. I know his good points and his bad points and I LIKE the way he is campaigning. I like the policies he has put forth.
I do NOT see him as a RINO (grossly overused word to describe the candidate a person is not pulling for).
You must overlook a lot of stuff to think Gingrich is anything more than a RINO—and a demrat controlled one at that. For example:
1. Nancy Pelosi was not kidding when she said she had a boatload of Gingrich dirt she was holding to release at the right time.
2. Newty really did not go knee to knee with Pelosi on a love seat in a global warming ad.
3. Newty’s explanation for #2 above was “inexplicable”.
4. Newty really does believe that most illegals who’ve been here a long time are law abiding. Ah, how’s that possible?
5. Newtybots love to exclaim how bright the man is—that he can defend all sides of an issue. But what does he really believe?
6. Newty is a serial philanderer. We know he did it twice. Hard for me to believe there are not more bimbos in the wings. Do think that will make him more or less trustworty as president?
SumProVita—you may think your a Tea Partier, but you’re not. You seem too willing to compromise on principle.
