So when Romney claims to have changed from his past practice you would give him the same benefit of credulity you give Gingrich when he claims to have changed? Why or why not. All of them are deeply flawed from a conservative perspective and I see no clear advantage to any of them. It’s an awful situation.
We’re choosing a candidate for President, not a parish priest.
What I do every national election cycle, is research candidates political records and compare those records with present day political positions and proposed solutions. In the process, character issues usually appear.
Gov.Romney has always been, and will contiunue to be, a liberal Democrat pretending to be a conservative Republican. As I see it, he hungers to be President only because his daddy never was President. He has not disavowed Romney care and will, I predict, as President would block all efforts to overtrune Obamacare. He is also a facilitator of the radical homosexual agenda. Facts are now appearing that he paid and planned the past three-years smear against Sarah Palin and her family in an effort to block her from the 2012 nomination, something so disgusting I just can’t put it into words.
During the past month I have researched Sen.Rick Santorum’s past and discovered instances of lawbreaking, dishonesty, and political corruption.
He founded a charity, Operation Good Neighbor Foundation, which should have been registered with the State of Pennsylvania but never was, and from which he and polticial cronies withdrew the majority of cash rather than donate to charity. Likewise, a so-called “leadership PAC” created by Santorum that was supposed to fund other Republicans, instead seemed to mostly pay for the lifestyle of Santorum and his sycophants.
Santorum has never repuditated the large number of earmarks he facilitated while Senator of PA. Though not illegal, his pay-for-play, politics-to-power dealings through K Street lobbyists and labor unions is well known and part & parcel of a big government poltician.
Rep.Ron Paul is a racist bigot and hypocrite on fiscal issues. His anti-semitism is well known but less so his creating legislation containing earmarks for his district in Texas, which he later votes against after accruing support for the legislation through poltical dealings.
I want to change Washington, not have it continue to drag the nation down. Entire departments should be eliminated. Only one candidate has proposed to do so, and presented a plan.
Newt Gingrich is pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment and loves America. He understands its citizens. As a historian, he thoroughly knows the U.S. Constitution and our nation’s history.
He allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
He has offered solutions and a plan for getting the nation back on its feet and working again, while the other candidate have offered platitudes and generalities.
Washington is broken, it doesn’t work the way it is supposed to and Newt said, if elected, he will work to change the way Washington does business. You better believe the elitists who suck money off of government contracts are terrified he will be elected.
He knows about the hidden tract ways and byways by which influence peddling moves in the capitol. He has a past record that cannot be hidden and he has explained why he did what he did then, and why some of it was wrong.
When a middle-class citizen, like Tom DeLay, is elected to Congress and returns home years later a multi-millionaire, it is due to corruption in government. And that influence pedaling corruption may even be legal!
We have to change Washington, D.C., in order to get our nation back on the right track. That requires someone who knows how that government operates and can begin dismantling the machinery of corruption.
Newt Gingrich is the only candidate with true leadership ability, who has changed Washington in the past and can do so again. He isn’t perfect. Who is? But I believe at this time, at this juncture in in nation’s pathway, he can lead this country away from socialism.
