To: true believer forever

I believe he will win them over, if he can just get the opportunity. . . . . .

__________________________________________________________

Newt wouldn’t have had to do a lot to win me over in a choice between him and Obama but between him and Santorum I’m afraid my personal belief is that Santorum is the better person. I think Newt might make a good president, he seems to know how to get things done. He certainly knows how to get things done in Washington. But, I think he hurt himself by the way he went after Bain. Yes I know you will tell me he didn’t go after Bain he went after Romney. Had he done it quietly and without fanfare it wouldn’t have blown back on him but it was like he was showing off that he could get revenge, it appeared to many to be immature. To a lot of people it seemed like a left handed attack. It seemed like an attack from Occupy Wall street.

I personally see nothing wrong with the idea of saying, OK show us how you got these “net” 100,000 jobs you created. I’m not sure it is anybodies business to see RINO Romneys taxes but the proof of the jobs is fair game. All this talk about “Vulture Capitalism” hurts capitalism more than Romney.

Crony Capitalism is an evil this country has taken to like a duck to water and Obama has been the best at it of any politician I have ever seen since the days of
Truman. If Bain has been involved in it then it should be shown that it was. If Romney has been a part of Crony Capitalism then the world needs to know it.

Taking advantage of legal loopholes in tax law is not Crony Capitalism, Crony Capitalism is when the government treats certain “preferred” companies differently than everybody else, like Solyndra. If there are political donations from Bain/Romney and then special privileges for Bain I want to see it and I want the whole world to see it, that kind of stuff stinks when the Democrats do it and to me stinks even more when done by so called Republicans.

I used to think that Newt was the greatest person in the land. Having an affair while excoriating Clinton for doing the same soured me on him. Then he goes and does it again. It is one thing for a marriage to fail, that happens. But when it fails because of adultery, twice, then there is a serious character flaw. If your own spouse can’t trust you then how can the rest of us trust you. It is one thing to want revenge for being hurt by someone who got the better of you, but willingness to hurt others (capitalism, free enterprise) just to get at the target has really soured me on Newt. Taking money from and working for Fannie and Freddie is wrong. You can’t work for crooked people without getting dirty. Now last but not necessarily least, I’m sorry but sitting on a couch with Pelosi talking about the evils of Global Warming, was just the last straw.

Despite all this, if suicide bomber Newt, takes out Romney and helps Rick Santorum then at least some good will have come of it all.

Go Rick Santorum.

When you look back to that 1998-99 time period you realize that Newt's actions killed us. He made our side look like fools. It has never been stated, but I suspect this was a big reason why Newt was bounced out by his own. Of all the candidates in the race, Newt is the least trustworthy based on actions past and present. I mean trustworthy in the sense you can not trust he will not go off on some wild and stupid tangent. The one flaw he makes that shows his character is his exaggeration of his own importance. He heard him once state that he and Ronald Reagan won the Cold War together. Reagan yes, Gingrich not so much. Newt, to sum it all up, is a bulls**t artist.

Sorry, Santorum won’t make it out of Florida and it will be over.
