Thomas Sowell explains why Gingrich is the best to take on Obama
(Excerpt) Read more at video.foxbusiness.com ...
“I don’t want to imagine a Romney-Obama debate. It keeps going through my mind, but I try to stop it.
“Well, yes, Barack, but we need to tinker with a few of the details on ObamaCare to make it more like RomneyCare”.
Watch the spoof Obama-Romney debate :
And then they will go on about electability! Of course electability is an issue. But, they act like they are the sole diviners of what is electability and how it is measured. Screw 'em. Obama is beatable! Period.
All four candidates can lose OR win against the big O. All four candidates have positives and negatives traits. Which traits do we emphasize and which do we ignore?
Look at 2010, the MSM played down the fury of the electorate, but the "pole that counts", election day, spoke volumes. There are obvious problems for Obama, blindingly obvious. Gas prices, food prices, housing values, unemployment, debt and deficit. Not to mention "fast and furious" and "Solyndra" and Obamacare(if he were a Republican it would be over already).
If the Repub's focus the campagne against Obama on the numbers alone, they will win handily, because:
Gas Prices are where we drive
Food Prices are where we eat
Housing values are where we live
Unemployment numbers are where we work
Debt and deficit numbers are where are future is
That Idiot in the white house has gotten into every aspect of our lives and spread misery.
my problem with Newton is the baggage from the Govt shutdown and the reelection of BJ Clinton that soon followed...
....are they connected and was it Gingrich's fault....
....I cant say...there is so much hype from all sides on this issue....
as far as his marriages, that is his business and does not concern me.
Obama KNOWS Romney cant win!
President Obama offered his likely Republican opponent Mitt Romney “good luck” for Super Tuesday.
Asked at a news conference if he’d like to respond to Romney’s comments calling Obama the “most feckless president since Carter,” Obama said: “Good luck tonight.”
After the quip got laughs from the press gallery, Obama smiled and said, “No, really. Really.”
THE _RESIDENT GETS IT!!!! those in the Republican establishment are too stupid to get it.
“Thomas is right. The problem is how many who vote actually WATCH debates.”
There’s a more basic issue. It’s the criteria used by those that do watch the debates. Just because a conservative thinks Gingrich won a debate does not mean that someone else will.
In an open venue with no special one-sided audience control, no cherry picking of moderators/panelist, he could out-debate Obama.
However, if he were the GOP nominee, this would never happen. Such a debate would be the most hamstrung, controlled debate in history. It could be more likened to a Kabuki play than a debate.
“Sorry; posted it on the wrong thread.”
That’s OK.
Good news is welcome wherever one finds it!
I love it!
Cavuto - “Are you calling Obama a villain?”
Sowell - (Pause....Longer pause....VERY long pause...eyes saying [do I dare go there?]......)
Priceless!
Can anyone isolate that last bit of the clip and post it?
Newt Gingrich Outlines the 21st Century Contract with America, September 2011:
21st Century Contract with America
A Note from Newt Gingrich
“America’s exceptional nature is based on the self-evident truths contained in the Declaration of Independence. Our rights are endowed by our Creator and they are unalienable.
If we are to solve our jobs crisis and meet the challenges of the 21st century, we need a plan for national renewal based on these timeless American values.
That plan is the 21st Century Contract with America.”
Turnout the only way Mitts get any delegates in AL & MS is if there is a low turnout.
What makes us think that Obama will debate Gingrich? He won't. He'll just sit back and blow a billion in dishonest Romney-style advertising. Newt has enough dirt that it will stick. Fools.
FOX is powerful and it showed when they went on the ewt after SC.
The establishment knew that they had to stop Newt from getting my state and so they got their talking heads and FOX to attack with everything they have and it worked and FOX knows it.
Fox can hardly mention Newt now as if he is way behind and going no where.
That's sort of become my take too. (Of course Obama would have to participate and so would the MSM.)
ML/NJ
Yes, and sadly, the MSM has kept Newt silenced, even though he has stepped up his effort and message.
They do not care about this country, even one ioda. All they care about is their immediate popularity and revenue stream.
The script from the movie Gladiator still haunts all of us; “Rome is nothing but a Mob.....To win your freedom, you must first them over. For, whomever controls the Mob, controls Rome!”
What makes us think that Obama will debate Gingrich? He won't.Three debates are practicaly an institution now, and they most likely will happen, even if Gingrich is the nominee. I think Obama will be forced into them, like it or not.
And even if Obama decided just to blow them off, there are ways to handle that and Newt himself has addressed that issue by referring to the way Lincoln shadowed Douglas, who at first refused to debate.
In baseball, they have the designated hitter. I propose we let Gingrich be Santorum’s designated debater.
As Spock (the Vulcan, not the pediatrician) would put it.....INDEED!
What's everyone afraid of? Someone going to faint at his gatherings?
He had an advantage at the last election because no one knew a damned thing about him. He's got a miserable record to go on this time. Pound him into the sand and don't let up.
Thanks for the article Marguerite.
