I will give you [sic]thw words I hear regarding Newt:a braggart, authoritarian,opportunist
****************
I’ve heard the same about Rick, Mitt and Barrack. I think it comes with the territory when one seeks the presidency. What’s your point?
Secondly, I can’t reply to you when your argument is “he’s on a couch wt pelosi”; “renounced Reagan”; “braggart; opportunist; authoritarian”. Such comments are merely subjective negative characterizations- having nothing to do with his governing record. For myself, I’m not going to “go negative” on the other candidates- I simply remain positive for Newt. —
But that aside, pragmatically, a purported, opportunistic, authoritarian braggart who renounced Reagan and sat on Pelosi’s couch could still be the best man to reverse socialism in 2013- Could he not?
Finally, as for those who “don’t know or care” that he changed the course of the nation in 1994 in a conservative direction; well then, it seems a shame that some people vote with no knowledge or historical perspective.
Certainly, you would agree that someone who actually turned back socialism in 1994; would be a good candidate to do the same in 2013.
You cannot deny what people outside of FR think. This is but a snippet of what voters out there think.
You can’t bring up 1994 and forget the Newt since 1994.
None of these guys are perfect. I myself don’t dislike Newt. He is smart and a good historian, but I doubt he, or Santorum, are going to be able to win this thing as long as they both stay in it.
The worse part is if one dropped out and Romney ran away with it, which could happen.
They can do one thing though, they can be a thorn in the side of Mitt and the GOP.
May be the only small pleasure we will get.
