You're looking at it the wrong way. The tiger will never turn on its own clan. Be a tiger.
I'm supporting Newt because he's the only viable candidate at this point, IMHO, and that's it. It's unfortunate, again, that we're forced into this position, but the community needs to rally behind someone at this late stage. Obama cannot win another term, and I don't see another viable option for us.
Mark my words -- Newt has the intellect and ego to do something really, really bad, and think that he can get away with it. When that happens it won't matter if anyone in the FR community admits they were wrong, because the conservative party -- and maybe the whole country -- will suffer for his actions.
