Shockingly, I am Leaning Toward Newt
none | 11/5/11 | originalbuckeye

Posted on 11/05/2011 7:19:16 AM PDT by originalbuckeye

Having watched several of the debates, I am becoming convinced that Newt might be the only one that can beat Obama. He will destroy Obama in the Presidential debates. Can he overcome the destruction that Big Media rained down on him in the 90's?

Just throwing this out there to get other's opinions. I remember several accusations from his tenure as Speaker. Many complete fabrications. What do you think?

He’s a smart guy but part of the problem. Besides he defiled the holy sofa with Pelosi in that global warming ad

I think you should put your keys and wallet in the other pockets.

Newt has done some political calculating and adjusted with the winds recently. He is part of the GOP establishment.

I used to be a fan but think Cain is the first choice. Newt would make a great VP, however. He knows the policital landscape and is a good strategist.

Newt without the baggage would be hell on wheels.

I will not dismiss him because of that. Anything else?

The question is, Is Newt still a resident of Georgia? If so, if Newt were to be Cain's running mate they would have to forfeit Georgia's Electoral College votes. That's not going to happen.

We heard all the same blow hard GOP Establishment talk in 2008. They all could not wait for “the war hero to take on the kid” in the debates. We were all told how “great” McCain was going to be going up against 0. Instead McCain folded like a cheap suit. Newt will be no different.

Hmmm so Newt is the “adult”? The “adult” who has consistently stabbed the Conservative movement in the back in the name of political expediency?

Newt who threw Paul Ryan under the bus, trash talked the GOP Health Care plan as “Right wing social engineering”, chastised Conservative for not backing uber RINO Dede Scusafasa, purposes a Amnesty lite “Middle way on Immigration” and jumped on the Global Warming couch with Nancy Pelosie??

So “adult” now means being a Bush like candidate who will talk a tough game on the Campaign trail and then go to DC and be a good little crony capitalist liberal GOP water boy.

No thanks, I have no interest in voting for McCain 2.0 in 2012

Newt’s the only viable alternative to Mittens who can prevail over Zero.

I agree.

I wont vote for Mitt - too liberal and Mormon

Perry cannot seem to get it together and I’m not sure he would stand up to Obama without looking like a kid picking a fight

Cain is going to fade because of lack of government experience and sadly, the media is going to make sure that the harrassment charge probably has legs

Although I appreciate Ron Paul’s posiiton on many issues - I am not ready for a Libertarian president

Bachman and Santorum do not have the political clout to get over the top

They are all fine people and I am proud of the conservative movement right now.

Newt would castrate Obama. And the media will do everything they can to castrate Newt.

Just my two cents.

I don’t think Newt can beat Obama.

At this point, the only candidates I think can beat Obama are Cain and Romney.

Newt is fine by me.....

Is he the perfect conservative ? No......

Whoever the GOP nominee will be.....they will have to contend with not only the Obama dirty tricks machine but the media as well....Newt can handle them

Seems like at least as of right now.....Cain is getting his big boy pants on learning with how to deal with dirty politics.....hope he is a fast learner

Yeah, I thought this was stupid. But he is the smartest guy in any room. Could you please list his anti-Conservvative positions? Does he really believe in Climate Change/Global Warming? If so, that's ridiculous.

apologized to the liberals.
