Something for those who have taken an “ABSOLUTELY NOT NEWT” stance to consider; In spite of anything Newt may have said in the past, when he was lightyears away from being POTUS, I believe we are dealing with a completely converted Newt at this point.
I base this on his recent books, DVD, etc. The DVD was a review of all the scriptural quotations and appeals to Providence which are sculpted into the government buildings in DC, as a rebuttal against the lie of Separation of Church and State. The latest book is “A Nation Like No Other,” which describes the Founding of our Nation as it truly happened.
Newt at various times in the past, has spoken out as a Progressive and an admirer of Roosevelt, Wilson, et al. I do not believe he still holds those views. I believe Callista and her parents led him to faith in Christ.
Finally, building on that belief; If Newt were to be elected POTUS he could go one of two ways; As a Progressive, continuing on a path somewhat like Zero has us on right now. Or he could do what I think he has ALREADY TOLD US he intends to do by his writuings and his Contract With America, etc. on his website.
Our Nation is at a crossroads in several respects. It’s make or break time. The next President will either repeal Obamacare, fire the Czars, cut taxes and spending, etc,. and set us on a path toward recovery and prosperity, or he will preside over the conclusive slide of our Nation into bankruptcy and oblivion.
Newt does NOT want to go down in the annals of History as the one who completed the destruction of America. He knows that if he turns our Country around and salvages our Freedom, our Liberty and our Greatness, he can EARN the right for himself to be remembered as the Second Coming of several Founding Fathers rolled into one. I believe to my soul, that Newt’s vision at this time is to be the man who returns The United States of America to her Constitutional Foundations. I believe that is the intention behind his pronouncement that if he becomes POTUS he will teach a History Course on our Founding, on the net or on TV.
I believe he intends to knock the fallacious “Separation of Church and State” lying hoax into the round file, where it belongs, and teach the people about the Godly underpinnings of our Founding, which is REALLY what made us a GREAT NATION!
The Squint is a progressive-stateist.
Read my tagline!
“Newt may be unpredictable and situational, but I don’t think anybody would doubt his patriotism and that he will do whatever it takes to save his country from self-destruction.”
... except serve in the military during the Nam era. But, you’re right. Newt worked so hard serving his country that it drove him to have an affair.
I’m starting to lean toward Perry.
Isn’t getting my vote.
And so did Ronald Reagan.
What’s your point?
Not sure what it means. Chance for him to show that he's a conservative? Chance for him to be the Republican nominee? The thing is Newt is a known entity. Most people have known him, for good or bad. I think he's a multidimensional person. Those who want him to be a pure conservative (on the ground his old and recent 'conversion') or a pure progressive (on the ground his dealings with Pelosi, FM, environment, and so on) will be sorely disappointed.
LOL!!!! And was this before or after Newt and Callista were having an affair during Newt's second marriage? Callista must be the most Christ-like mistress ever! :)
Agreed.
So, Newt would appoint Commie Supreme Court Justices? So, would Newt destroy our military? So, would Newt totally destroy the country? A dime is only a dime.
Thank you so much for a nicely presented vanity. But we just have to disagree.
I find Newt a-moral and liberal. He is without redemption as far as being a GOP candidate. I will never vote for him. In that I also will not vote for RINO Romney, I have made peace with voting Third Party or write in.
I am done with voting for the lesser of two evils. I am done with the GOP overlords pointing to the boogie man and telling me I have to vote for who they put up.
Again, well presented but no. I will never vote for Newt.
“And so did Ronald Reagan.
“What’s your point?”
Reagan worked so hard serving the country that it caused him to have an affair????
you forgot to mention that Mitt Romney is the NewtAlternative. you aren’t happy with Newt because he isn’t conservative enough for you but you’re OK with Mitt Romney getting the nomination? Something about that doesn’t smell right. Newt will do just fine I think. I’m not taking any chances on letting Romney win and if this thing drags on long enough, he will.
“IN JUST ONE WEEK, WE KNOW THESE ABOUT NEWT:
1) He is for Obama’s “payroll” tax cut extension.
2) He is against Romney earning money in the private sector.
3) .. claiming a military strike is pure fantasy
4) It comes out that he worships FDR
5) He loves Andy Stern the SEIU
_________________________________
Let Me Respectfully Disagree
1. I bet Newt supports the payroll tax cut extension to take it off the table from Obama’s attack dogs. Bottom line is that he adheres to low tax prescription of Reagan. He was there when it happened. He is the only candidate who eliminated a federal welfare program and balanced FOUR federal budgets.
2. When Romney attacked Newt for making money as a consultant, Newt replied by saying that Romney made money in an equally unpopular way by firing people. He wasn’t attacking capitalism but pointing out that both means of earning money are open to attack in a political campaign.
3. Newt has said that Iran has hidden its nukes underground across the nation in dozens of places, under cities and mosques. He believes a strike would be too costly and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians and accomplish nothing because the Mullahs would simply rebuild in a few years. But, he has said that if Israel decided to go to war with Iran, “I wouldn’t wait” to attack.
4. It is absurd to say that Newt worships FDR. He admires FDR for leadership and communication skills, but doesn’t share his big government philosophy. He has stated he wants to dismantle many federal programs and return block grants to the states.
5. Newt made a comments in a speech years ago about Andy Stern being an visionary leader.
“when presented with the passage, former Gingrich aide Rick Tyler stressed that his former boss no longer agrees with those sentiments.
“He met with Andy Stern several times and Andy Stern had given Newt the impression that he was a forward-looking union leader,” said Tyler. “Turns out he wasn’t.”
“Newt finds common ground with many people from the opposite side of the ideological spectrum,” Tyler added, addressing Gingrich’s broader pattern of finding non-traditional allies. “But in every case, they are moving in his direction, not him moving towards them.”
Keep the change.
‘I believe Callista and her parents led him to faith in Christ.’
I must have missed something. I thought this was the woman who was having sex w Newt while he was still married.
Hey. I like the company of rednecks. But newt sucks.
I can't help but retort that Napoleon did NOT want to go down in history as the loser at Waterloo!
I don’t think you have thought this through far enough. There is no doubt that Newt is brilliant, but that does not translate to being American or pro-American. The guy is for amnesty to illiterates that have lived off the government teat if they have done so for 25 years.
When you heard him say that it was a mistake to sit on the couch with Pelosi, did you hear anything from him, anything, anything at all that made you feel he was disconnecting himself from global warming? No, of course not. That is how knowledgeable Newt is, he still believes in global warming.
What is global warming? Global warming is the lefts new term for global governance. This is where Obama sees himself. Obama sees himself as the world’s government. The election, he has his sites on world domination. That world will be dictated by Andrew Stern.
Andrew Stern hates America, Google anything about Stern and it will be anti-American. Andrew Stern is all about a just and fair world. What is just and fair in Andrew Stern’s world is yet to be disclosed.
