Winston Churchill was not a handsome or imposing man. He was very difficult to put up with.. arrogant, drunken, slovenly, a bully at times, either depressed or wildly ecstatic, rude to employees, in short, he was often insufferable.
But his saving grace, that which allowed him to achieve and wield great power for good was his intelligence and his gift of oratory. When the man spoke the earth seemed to tremble.
Newt reminds me of Churchill for many of the same reasons.
Remember that in spite of Churchill’s flaws he was the one man able to rally a nation against incredible odds in a war that most thought was a lost cause. Where would the world be now if not for that flawed man?
I support Newt! Not in spite of his flaws but in fact because of them. We need someone with the will to fight. I believe Newt is the right man at the right time.... if not Newt then just who has both the intellect and will to accomplish the impossible and place this nation on a road to moral and economic recovery?
If Newt does not get the nomination and win the election then we will all soon or late come to wish for what might have been.
Just talking about Newt with hubby- I told him that a lot of people have problems with him because of his past problems (adultery) and he said well David (in the Bible) had problems with adultery and God used him!
good post! I totally agree with you.
Supposedly, Newt has lost a lot of his support because of his "temper" ..... not Presidential. Well, I am sick and tired of the spineless leaders of the GOP who have let libs/Obama walk all over them. I WANT a fighter and I want a man who obviously has a 'fire-in-the-belly' passion and love for this country. As angry as we feel at having to watch America being destroyed, I don't have a problem with Newt showing some temper, especially when Obama-lite is taking pot shots at him. No more bowing & scraping to anyone ... Get 'em Newt!!!!
