If you’re quoting Peggy Noonan to make your case, you’ve already lost it.
So, basically this author criticizes Newt for being too smart? I guess I forgot politicians had to be idiots.
Anyway, no, you’re not the only one who shares that opinion—there are more than a few of you around here.
You’ll just have to decide if you like Romney more.
The Federal government implementing anything like six-sigma would be an enormous windfall for Federal contractors and a colossal boondoggle.
Noonan lost all credibility when she backed Obama.
Noonan is the motor mouth; a tool of the country club republicans. Romney is just another half-assed, non conservative, casper milk toast, yes I did and no I didn’t, and no I won’t attack Obama republican. And anointed by the main stream media. It angers me no end that the news media is running this country through corrupt, lying, marxist loving jerks who think they are God’s gift to world. Screw them all. Not Mitt, Not Now, Not ever. Go Newt!
Romney was on Fox&Friends yesterday, and I had to agree with his assessment of Gingrich’s recent complaints about negatives ads against him.
Romney basically said, if Gingrich couldn’t take the ads his GOP opponents are showing now, how will he, if he is the nominee, manage to withstand the certain barrage Team Obama, the Media and the Dems would unleash on him?
Gingrich was rather thin-skinned when he was in the House. Recall his seeming tantrum because Clinton made him sit at the back of the plane? If Team Obama play it right, they will use that weakness. Remember the Muskie Moment? The Deaniac Scream?
I agree she lost much of her credibility, I do think the quote by her sums up Gingrich well...
I ask this simple question. If not Newt then who?
By God! You are correct and I salute you! You are a great and patriotic American! I mean it and no sarcasm is intended or implied.
That’s why, like her or not (I actually don’t), Noonan’s description is right, “erratic and unreliable as a leader? Yes. Egomaniacal? True. Original and focused, harebrained and impulsive—all true.” He’s liable to have a screaming session like Howard Dean!
Noonan, you and Coulter vs Sowell, Rush and Levin.....
Your kidding right?
I cannot vote for Romney and I will not vote for Newt. It is time for the one man who can beat Obama steps back into the fracas!
Gee, we wouldn’t want any brilliant ideas or mention of things we don’t know about. Nor do we want anyone that has a record of actually accomplishing anything conservatives support. And we certainly don’t want any one that has made the establishment Republicans he has worked with upset. No sir, we sure don’t want that.
Let’s just nominate McCain again to be safe.
If Mitt was serious about taking the heat himself, he would have accepted at least one of Newt’s two challenges to debate him mana a mano. But predictably, Mitt chickened out both times.
He’s a hypocite and a liar.
ROTFLMAO....They already have.....a LONG time ago...I think I was on the tail end of the second go around and that was 5 years ago.
Way to misunderstand the point.
Newt wasn’t whining over attack ads in and of themselves—his criticism is that it’s idiotic for Republicans to be savaging each other like this, weakening all of our candidates across the board, and giving ammo for the enemy to use in the general. The Democrats are laughing their asses off watching the Republican candidates rip each other limb from limb.
I’m going to guess you mean Paul?
Newt is smart and sometimes brilliant, but he is not smart enough to use fewer words and be quiet once in awhile. His answer to Chris Wallace was good but the federal judge nonsense this weekend was, in my opinion, the wrong thing to say.
