I have not been very active at all with my comments here, but I have been lurking. Today I have given up. You guys are all sheep and need to wake up. You are letting your passion blind you.

This will probably get me banned but whatever.

Whoever thinks any one of the GOP CURRENT candidates left is a real alternative to the establishment GOP, is totally blind.

And yes, this includes NEWT, which I find damn scary if you can’t see he does NOT represent what the tea party started out as standing for.

I mean come on, he was the Head of the establishment for awhile and he has a very long record of being liberal.

All the media had to do was attack him and we watch him bite bacl. Suddenly you all seem blind.

Has Newt done some good conservative things in the past? Yes. Is he the right guy that the tea party has been waiting for? No.

See the following links. Yes they are provided by Pauls website, but are all independant of Paul. And no, I do not support him either.

So what is so “conservative” about any of the above? Newt’s stances on these issues line up more with O’Bama’s Progressive Globalist agenda then those of a sovereign small-government conservative. I mean come on now…who is he trying to kid here? Maybe just you and me!
