If there is one person running for President crazier Newt Gingrich, it is Ron Paul.
You, like most Gingrich supporters, seem to think the only motivation for criticising Newt is to help some other candidate. You can’t seem to grasp the idea that opposition to the man who cuddled with Nancy Pelosi, endorsed an ultra-left winger in NY-23 and who peddled influence to Freddie Mae, is motivated by opposition to Newt’s ideas, and actions and nothing more.
Ron Paul is certifiable, Santorum while less flawed than Newt in my mind is still very flawed, and Romney is no better than Obama. If it were Newt vs. Obama, I would vote for Newt just to slow down the express train to hell, but Newt is a big government guy whose ideas expand governemnt and if you took off the Newt blinders for a minute, you would see that.
I see his flaws as well as his strengths. I wonder if you do.
I do admire his intelligence and futuristic thinking. Does he have proven creds that prove his ability to get things done? Yes, he does. Could he out-debate The Won and make him look like the fool he is? Yes, he could. Could he be once again successful in turning things around. I think he has a good, or better, chance than most. But, I don't think he'll have the chance. Listening to him this morning, I'll be interested to see how much longer he stays in.
Given your run down of the current slate of candidates, you don't seem to happy with anyone. I can respect that.
But given the fact that we will more than likely have another Dole/McCain anvil hung around our necks in the person of Romney...why have do you care that some want better and aren't willing to throw in the towel yet? (If you give me that “He's splitting the vote and hurting Santorum jazz” my head will explode.)
Why not spend time on Myth...or better yet Obama?
