While formally suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said that he believes presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney is conservative enough when compared to “the most radical, leftist president in American history.”
“And my answer is simple: compared to Barack Obama?
You know this is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history.”
True words.
You are a crazy man, and run amok on your own website!
YOU absolutely get it!
I’ve preached the same thing purple. Romney is a PROGRESSIVE, AND HAS SAID SO! SO IS MAXINE WATERS, and the rest of the Progressive Caucus, for crying out loud.
The souless GOPE will vote with, and for, Romney’s socialist/progressive agenda, I promise you that, but will fight that very same agenda, tooth and nail, when Obama offers up the same crap in a second term.
Look what they did under our last Republican president, GWB.
Crushing spending and crushing debt!
Even Boehner expects Obama to win, or else he would back with enthusiasm the contempt charges against AG Eric Holder.
Look around at the deafening silence on the subject of those contempt charges. These are your Party cabal who run this show and are running us.
The Republican Establishment is OPENLY running against conservatives in important states to dilute the few Tea Party gains, lending no support for conservatives anywhere.
We have no choice but to stop our own Party. The two parties have melled.
Fool me once........, but three times?
Dole, McCain, but now a Progressive Socialist, Romney?
Write in, or write yourself off, people. Your party has you cornered.
REBELLION IS TOO DAMN HARD, AND IT’S SCARY.
Freedom is never free.
His mind is so brilliant, and his head so full of knowledge and reason, yet you think all there is inside it now is, “I’m a Republican, and I have to say vote Republican”.
He’s a national treasure trove, a storehouse, a walking think tank, a political scientist, an historian, an American Exceptionalist.
He’s drawing on ALL that.
He could be wrong.
You could be wrong.
But what you said is, he has no other but a partisan reason to say what he says.
A real shame...I thought you supported him before because you drew a bead on what the guy has inside him to offer the nation.
Apparently not, you think he’s wearing a flashing neon partisan party sign and his head and heart are empty when it comes to America’s survival.
As far as your decision who and who not to vote for, it’s yours alone, absolutely.
Hell's bells, I don't care for Romney either, but Good God Almighty 4 more years of the big Zero and we won't have a country to worry about.
.... Obama is without a doubt the worst president in American history. He’s already getting desperate thanks to we the tea party electing a Republican house. IF he’s re-elected he’ll really be isolated with a Republican senate, too, and with the Republicans holding the majority of the governors and state legislatures. He’s committing impeachable offenses at every turn already. After he’s completely isolated he will go berserk and REALLY try to take desperate steps. But we’re going to come down on him like a ton of bricks. The Republican led states will re-assert their tenth amendment powers and cut him off at the knees. This is already taking shape. He will not get anything through the congress. He’ll be tied up in congressional investigations and in court. The tea party will explode in numbers and will protest like never before and will hound him day and night wherever he goes. His own party will turn on him due to his being a total failure and his attempts to bypass the congress and the people (we the American people still love our constitution and our freedom, even some of the democrats). They will not be able to justify his radical unconstitutional criminal behavior. The media will smell blood in the water and go into a feeding frenzy. He will either be hounded out of office like Nixon or be the first American president in history to be impeached and removed!!

Spot on.
Well said.
First, fear can be justified and useful for motivation.
Second, I see fear used on both sides, as well as peer pressure and all the other base tools to motivate action.
Third, I think we can discuss and debate the election on the issues and merits alone.
Virgil Goode
I am honored to be the nominee of the Constitution Party for the 2012 election. I offer a real difference from Romney and Obama. I want a balanced budget sooner and not five to ten years in the future. I favor measures that will secure our borders and end illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration. Unlike Obama and Romney, I have called for an almost complete moratorium for green card admissions into this Country while our unemployment rate is so high. Both Obama and Romney have run from taking this much needed step. Last year there were approximately 1.2 million green card entrants into this country. Over 2/3 of that number were working age individuals flooding into the job market when jobs in the United States should go to American citizens first. Obama favors comprehensive immigration reform, which is just a fancy name for amnesty for illegals. Romney needs to strongly support Arizona, Alabama and other states who are fighting the invasion of illegals. Obama, of course, has his Attorney General opposing the statutes of Arizona and Alabama. My views of totally ending illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration are needed if America is to be saved. Both Obama and Romney are weak in this area in my opinion. Both Obama and Romney are gouging huge amounts of campaign funds from PAC’s and big dollar donors. I am not taking any PAC donations, and am also limiting individual donations to $200 per person. It is time for grass roots America to have standing in our Government. I favor the many over the special few.
BTW, even if your dream scenario occurs, we get Biden.
And all the rest of the regime still in place.
I think a better scenario is to remove the regime, all of it, from power all at once - soon.
thanks for your posts.
So take a look at Virgil Goode BookaT.

I supported him because he was the best of the non-Romney's left. That doesn't imply that I ever thought he was brave enough to go off the GOP reservation, should he lose in the primary.
As it stands, I'll probably be voting for Santorum next Tuesday, since he's the only sane non-Romney who hasn't endorsed Romney, or at least not yet.
Ditto. Silly not to vote for anyone besides Obama, for the judges and SCOTUS alone!
If Obama gets re-elected, there is a chance, albeit a slim one, that a critical mass of people may come to realize that being elected does not grant politicians any sort of legitimate carte blanche to do anything and everything they might desire, and may refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the leftists' actions. I'm not sure exactly how many people would have to recognize the illegitimacy of Obama's actions to reach critical mass, nor am I sure how things would play out once critical mass was reached.
To be sure, that's not exactly a great ray of hope to latch onto. On the other hand, the country isn't going to survive a whole lot longer without a major turnaround no matter who's in office. If Romney is elected, is there any reason to believe that the situation in 2016 will be any better than the situation in 2012?
“How is it up there on your high horse”
If you think knowing what ones principles are and sticking to them places him/her on a high horse..then guilty as charged
Allowing Obama to be elected again doesn’t serve any principle I’d wish to support.
The only guarantee I can give you is that if Obama is elected it will certainly get worse.
Let’s face the real problem.
We have Democrats, not one or two,but all of them in the Congress that are as bad as Obama, and we have half the Republicans there who are also as bad.
We can replace Obama, and still not make any headway with a Congress that is absolutely as bad as any that ever sat on th Hill and sucked at the government teat.
