I'm officially endorsing Newt Gingrich for President today.

Jan 19, 2012 | Jim Robinson

It works for me. Since the good, solid conservatives didin’t run he’s the best we have that is still viable. To hell with his ex-wife and the MSM and to hell with his “baggage”.

He may have jumped on the “global warmning” hoax bandwagon but what politician didn’t? The list is short. They all thought it was inevitable and they, being politicians, wanted to be at the policy making table. But I’m tired of conservatives just trying to make bad policy “just a little better” or “not as bad” instead of standing up and saying “go to hell you lying liberal scum”.

Newt didn’t do that but, fortunately, nothing came from cap and trade and now he can admint he was wrong. That’s better than a Romney or Perry just flat out flip-flopping and saying they were never really on board.

I also believe Newt can be controlled more than a Romney could. Newt would lean towards the conservative House members and ideas instead of getting together with Senate Dems to create “bipartisan” crap like Romney would.

Newt would listen to the Tea Party and all conservatives instead of acting like W Bush (and Romney) and ignore us while they push “comprehensive” immigration so-called reform, bailouts, TARP, etc. At least I have more confidence Newt wouldn’t go that route.

I hope by the time super Tuesday rolls around that I get a chance to vote in my primary in Tennessee for Newt and it’s not alreay a done deal for Romney.

Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama have been repeatedly referenced as continuing the progressive tradition of Wilsonianism in America. This is primarily due to their continuing efforts of nation building and interventionism.

Your judgement is clouded with your rabid desire to take down Obama. We don’t need another Wilsonian in the WH!!!!

[Parley Baer]

All I can say after this hit piece by ABC News is GO NEWT GO!

[TitansAFC]

Biggest and MOST IMPORTANT Newt ping EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lakeshark]

I threw in for Newt about a month ago.

It wasn't easy, my tag line will go something like this: Newt, because I trust all the others just a little less.......

:-)

That being said, I could support Santorum whole heartedly if he gains traction and wins. I can't say much about Romney. *crosses fingers Romney loses*

[Osage Orange]

Sorry....thought you were a woman.

Who's your pick?

Oh, and I'm not rabid. Get that!

[IrishPennant]

3 months ago I was wishing Newt were actually electable. Now I want to believe he is.

Newt is far from perfect but he's our best bet to beat Bammy Boy come November. Mittens is not a fighter and is hobbled by being:

1. Mormon. Axelrod and Dems will grind out endless propaganda about Mitt's "racist church"
2. Mitt is too Wall Street for this election season
3. His Cayman accounts
4. Paying only 15% taxes
5. Bain's strip mining of companies
6. will all be hung on him
   
   
7. Newt is sparking clean in comparison despite his divorces and the one million he got from Fanny/Freddy
8. Plus Newt is a street fighter who will verbally savage Bammy Boy and his Teleprompter

[Fledermaus]

You are confusing the possible with the perfect.

Boy, the Romney operatives on FR swarmed this thread immediately. They can't openly support him, so they hide in the corners like roaches and dash out to hit the candidate that is giving him problems. We've seen this on FR before and I bet several are back here under new screen names.

The Romney billions has been spread far and wide, to buy endorsements and hire sneaks to do the dirty work. What a fine, moral man he must be.../sarc

[eyedigress]

TN ended up with 50 or so delegates this year after FLA’s penalty. TN will go Newt IMHO. Newt needs to stay way past FLA.

[EternalVigilance]

My only comment is that if you’re going to nominate Gingrich I hope he picks a running mate who is smart enough to get a prenup.

[Fledermaus]

What conservative do you support? Did one even run?

[upsdriver]

But they will never volunteer to have an anal exam via the media/DNC/RINO machines....because we all have skeletons.

Exactly! I know a lot of tea party people and they/we are far from perfect.

I'm less concerned about Newt's failings. I want to know if he has the fight in him to lead as we all take back our country from those who are determined to destroy her.

[no dems]

Rick Perry dropped out today and endorsed Newt also. But, Jim’s endorsement is just as important as Perry’s.

[PapaBear3625]

I’m on board.

[MHGinTN]

Well, a couple of the obstreperous stealth mormons got the zot today. And of course, the day ain’t over yet!

[ohioWfan]

The trust issue is a biggie for me. And it's too early to tell if Newt can be trusted.

JMHO.

That being said (as you said), if Newt is the nominee I will blow up bridges to get him elected.

[Fledermaus]

I also wish someone would against Corker in the primary. If Super Tuesday rolls around and Romney is already the nominee and Corker is unopposed (all my local representatives are usually unopposed also) then I have nothing to vote for.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

Great news. I am with Newt too.

NO MITTENS!
