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 ask this simple question. If not Newt then who?
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.
I was totally undecided and I thought Newt's "baggage" was going to be a problem. I wanted to support Perry until he opened his mouth. Then I watched the Cain train come to town. Never got on board but I went to the station. After watching the debates and his performance in Iowa, I am all in for Newt. Screw his baggage. He will be an infinitely better President than Obama.
I take what Coburn and Talent say with a grain of salt. Talent is a Romney guy and Coburn is the guy who said Pelosi’s a nice lady.
Newt’s problem is he thinks every idea he has is brilliant. Most aren’t, and he’s not capable of the level of self-criticism necessary to weed out the good ones from the bad. I also don’t see him as particularly open to criticism from others, which leads to questionable decision-making.
Newt’s intelligent. That’s not the same thing as smart.
