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?

He is part of the GOP establishment.

That’s just another way of saying that he is unqualified.

Newt is a very good speaker and great debater but is not worthy to receive a true conservatives vote in a primary when Cain is an option. I would vote for him (Newt) against commiebama but that isn’t much of an accolade and besides he won’t be the candidate. I agree the relationships with his wives are a reflection of the true man and exposes his character flaws as did his appearance with Piglosi in the Global Warning commercial. These flaws disqualify him for me, especially considered against another with a 43 year long commitment still honoring it.

There are many on here who are obviously establishment folks looking for the next Dole, Bush, McCain, etc. taking cues from the likes of Karl Rove.

Here in the Great State of Missouri we can’t wait to be able to vote for a real businessman and American Patriot who obviously loves America and would do all he could to see that the American experiment is alive and well and available to all who would be so inclined to pursue it.

I long to speak to my children about the office of the President of the United States and feel pride about the person who occupies it having REAL hope about the future of this once great nation.

A Leftist position......all your money is mine ...
And your property. Anyone of us are only an eminent domain demand away from losing our "private" property.
Same goes for "private" transportation. Without a car you'll be forced to travel only to places that public transportation will take you - and that will be controlled by 'gubmint.

Newt may be the candidate of last resort...while we wait for Rubio to get ready.

We nominate the wrong guy and there will be no country left by the time Rubio is ready.

I think it’s a matter of TRUST. I trust Cain. I trust Palin. Never Romney. I’m not sure at all I can trust Newt not to reach across the aisle time and time again. He may be the best debater but winning a debate does not mean he wins an election.

I never heard that.

Never heard it, never came close to thinking it. John McCain is, was and always has been one of the least dynamic, dim-witted, slow-on-his-feet, marble-mouthed train-wrecks of a public speaker modern politics has ever produced. Everyone knew the lying Kenyan would mop up the floor with the old fool in the debates, and that's exactly what he did.

I'm wandering down that same path buckeye; but with more realism than enthusiasm. No question he has quickest mind and the best ability to articulate conservative ideas in a clear, concise, and understandable manner.Yes, he's gotten off-track sometimes both as a conservative and also as a flawed human being. But he's also shown a consistant ablility to adjust to changing realities and learn and grow from mistakes, so I'm trying to cut him some slack. I have no trust for Mittens at all, and am beginning to think Newt may be the best man left standing. (I'm still a bit ticked at Ryan, though, for deciding to sit this one out. IMO Ryan/Rubio would have guaranteed us the White House for 16 years.)

Yet as much as I think Newt might be the best bet for President, I think he would be terrible as VP. Newt strikes me as one who is constitutionally incapable of playing a supporing role. Picking him for veep would be like picking a loose cannon like,... oh,... say...someone like...Joe Biden!

..a genius academic who can turn on a dime and embrace a liberal idea like someone easily distracted by a shiney object

But as a Cain supporter I would hope that Speaker Gingrich would have a place in the future if he can stay away from those things and ideas which hurt him and the country in the past...

I’m not really happy with our choices, but I’ll vote for whomever gets the nomination. I do like Gingrich even though he has annoyed me at times. No one is perfect even Ronald Reagan.

He would make a good vice-president. He doesn’t inspire people anymore. Cain inspires people and casts visions. Without a vision, men fail.

I didn’t like his “right wing social engineering” comment.

Besides he defiled the holy sofa with Pelosi in that global warming ad

Michale Berry interviewed Newt on his show yesterday. Here is the recording of that: My Conversation With Newt Gingrich . At the end (9:20 mark), he said he was against cap and trade.

I don’t get many points from me for quoting him either. It was a response to DTogo for the background information that (s)he furnished to another poster that is, in my estimation, illustrative of the point.

"Not that it matters to me, but some one needs to explain why he had a half million dollar credit at Tiffanys."

If it doesn't matter to you, why would you state that somebody needs to provide an explanation? Doesn't matter to me either -- he may spend his money as he chooses.

Click on long-time poster Deb's homepage for a Truman quote you will never see repeated by the MSM.

SWo you think the answer is Ron Paul. Laughable.

No, I think the answer is Herman Cain. I do not support Ron Paul but Newt is worse than Ron Paul. While Ron Paul's stance on national security is idiotic, the RINO stance is worse as they actively fund terrorists and lobby for terrorists in Congress (read up how Joe Pitts and Trent Franks are stooges of Islamofascist Republic of Pakistan). Clearly, Trent Franks is a terrorist supporter and Newt probably is in the same category.
