Agree with what you said.
I suppose Santorum will probably speak against Newt as he has been doing. I read he had a negative ad up about Newt in Colorado right after FL. I used to somewhat like Rick, I normally turn him off now.
I'm not saying Romney is worse than Obama at all. If you were able to address my argument, you wouldn't need to create a strawman like that. I'm saying I don't want to turn the Republican party into a liberal party just so I can I say I defeated Obama. I have the ability to perceive long-term strategy and not be blinded by hatred for Obama to the point where I think ANYTHING is better than him. Would Hilary be better if she was the Republican nominee? I see little difference between Obama and Romney except that Obama is more honest and no difference between Romney and Hilary except that Hilary is more knowledgeable about foreign policy.
Romney would still lose in November. Why give him a narrow loss that will only encourage him to try again in 2016?
I say we gave him a well-deserved whopping major loss.
I like Newt but, He is not Presidential. He is not tall, handsome with the ability to bull shit the voters and beguile them with his celebrity. That’s what the American voter wants, bull shit, food stamps and celebrity.
YOU are more than correct. Even Tom Brokaw supposedly asked the romney pac to stop using the spot that helped destroy Newt in Floriduhhh. It was hideously unfair and mostly a lie as well but no one knew and most still don’t.
The Tom Brokaw spot that basically defeated Newt in floriduuuuh is so bad that recently Mark Levin has challenged anyone to legitimize any of the 84 ethics charges filed against Newt. That should tell everyone what is going on.
The Chris Matthews Show on NBC just played a hilarious clip from 1998 of Newt Gingrich doing the weather report on the Weather Channel...and displaying his great knowledge of geography. I can’t find it on the net. Anyone know more about this?
Campaign organization has plagued him from the start. I don’t have the answers there.
Yeah, I was looking at the Progressive opposition, they been conned to put all their eggs into one basket by the sales team of the media. Richardson even acknowledges he’s not trying to win in a interview previously posted on his web site, and there hasn’t been a new post on Richardson’s web site since mid January, and his twitter hasn’t seen a comment since January 3.

I don't believe the TParty has gone anywhere, but has been waiting patiently for the next chance to strike, and so we will, but withholding a vote for our nominee is a vote for Obama.
Likely true. And so we see the strategy of both the DEM and GOP parties.
Rubio supported the SOPA/PIPA bill (before he was against it strictly as a result of the massive public outcry). I have no interest in Rubio and if there’s one thing I disagree with Newt on, it’s his suggestion that Rubio would be his V.P. At the very least we need more time to see if he holds up to Tea Party values. In at least this case he shilled for corporate interests over constitutional freedom.
I don't believe the TParty has gone anywhere, but has been waiting patiently for the next chance to strike, and so we will. As we grow larger with more TPartiers elected we will regain control over the RINO's in the next cycle, or the one after that but withholding a vote for our nominee this time is a vote for Obama.
I don't believe the TParty has gone anywhere, but has been waiting patiently for the next chance to strike, and so we will. Do you know any TPartiers who have changed their stripes? As we grow larger with more TPartiers elected we will regain control over the RINO's in the next cycle, or the one after that but withholding a vote for our nominee this time is a vote for Obama.
It’s got to be more than the debates too, my opinion, Newt is the candidate that draws the most interest to the non political folks who are going to be given a vote too
Good news Bray. Could you post some steps?
“’Congress is the source of all the laws’
“Only if you support the Constitution which o ignores, and Congress ignores that.”
That’s one of the things scares me the most about Obummer how many executive orders has he signed that we don’t know about. There’s also the issue of SCOTUS. I’m sure some will make the argument about the judges that Mitt appointed in MA, but if we can get a Pubbie Senate, we can hold their feet & his to the fire. My other concern is that if Obummer wins another term, he will think he has a ‘mandate’ to continue with and even increase his Socialist policies - full steam ahead, including his disasterous foreign policy of getting closer with our enemies and snubbing our friends, like Israel.
Obamacare is already recognized as a disaster.
The danger is that four more years would give Obama a chance to get this system entrenched.
An entrenched system is extremely hard to get rid of. We need to stop it now before that happens.
There is also a dire world situation in which Obama is the worst possible person to be president.
He would continue the disastrous dictatorship of the EPA which has successfully hog tied business for years.
He would continue to refuse to let us use our own resources (pipeline, anyone?) and make us even more dependent on people who hate us.
Romney might be a dirty rotten scoundrel but he would not do any of those things.
Sorry if I offended you.
I thought you were saying you wouldn’t vote for Romney because you thought he was Obama lite.
I think that is a position disastrously destructive to our counry.
If you can’t see any differences between Obama and Romney, well I guess we’ll have to leave it there.
Anyway, I for one am still hoping that Gingrich will pull it out and we won’t have to make that choice.
