According to his own words, in your link, if true, Gingrich is no conservative. And we know he’s no conservative in his private life.
So what is your point? That Newt is a progressive so lets all back the pandering fraud from Mass?
Newt was not my first, second or third choice but he is 1000 times better then Romney. But it is really not about Romney anyways, is it? It is about whether the Tea Party / Conservative movement was nothing more then a Republican cheerleading fest for a party or a movement driven by ideas and principles.
Understand that having Romney at the top of the ticket spells the end to the Tea Party and any momentum the Conservative movement made. We simply can not elect this liberal “blue blood” and claim we are about principles not power/party. For the last year the Tea Party has been tarnished as a movment of racist ignorant hillbillies, and never once did I see an establishment type stand up and take one for the cause. There is a reason for that ... they think the movement is about nothing more then ignorant hillbillies who are too stupid to make up their own minds and do what they are told.
So I don’t know about the rest of you folks but I am about principles not party. I’ve held my nose before, but not this time. Our country is imploding under the weight of tremendous debt started under a Republican, not Democrat, adminstration. It was a Republican Sec of Treasury who pushed for tarp, abandoning the free market principles I thought “our party” stood for. It was a Republican president who pushed through a significant unfunded extension to Medicare and a Republican Congress that approved it. And it was a Republican Governor who signed into law the blue print for what we now call ObamaCare, the same Governor we now want to nominate to lead “our party”.
So for all you folks thinking its time to suck it up and vote for “our nominee” have at it. Just understand that what we are throwing away is not about a single candidate or cause. It is about the long term viability of a nation in serious moral and financial decline. Understand the significance of the moment and the message a vote for Romney sends. Then do as your conscious dictates.
As for me, I will eat my children before I’d cast a vote for the pandering fraud from Mass. I will not stay home, but I will not vote for that. I will work dilligently to elect our candidates at the local, state and federal level. I may not make a damn bit of difference but I’ll at least know I did my all.
