This is not the world of 2008.

The situation is far more dire now than it was then.

Romney is a RINO, certainly not the champion that we need.

Newt is definitely NOT McCain. He in fact is the champion the times call for. Warts and all.

A few weeks ago I decided I would support Newt in spite of his warts.... now I support him because of many of them.

We need a fearless warrior of consummate skill and determination...Newt is that warrior!

I finished reading his paper on the judiciary last night. It is an absolutely brilliant piece of work! I recommend it highly. If Newt follows through on what is described there we will have a revitalized republic as a result.

I don’t get the argument that we might not want the executive and legislative branches to have the power to expel a judge because we wouldn’t want to see Obama and a Democratic majority do it. Why wouldn’t we? Let them go on record as standing up for whatever they’re for instead of getting their legislation passed through the backdoor by judicial fiat and then claiming there’s nothing they can do about it. We know that conservative ideas win at the ballot box most of the time and liberal ones lose. And fundamentally we want a country that is ruled by WE THE PEOPLE, not by an elite royalty.

I think Newt’s idea here, while seeming a little radical on first glance and certainly seeming to have come out of nowhere in this campaign, has the potential to gain a lot of traction, even in the general election.

This little issue lends some credence to Glenn Thrush’s recent analysis on who Obama might prefer to run against. “If Romney is a conventional enemy, Gingrich poses an asymmetrical threat: He’s simply a more dangerous, talented and unpredictable political actor than Romney.”
