Maybe Dede Scozzafava can be Newt's running mate is San Fran Nan isn't available.

The only “Drafting Call” for Newtus Agustus will be coming from the democrats Dede and Nancy Pelosi.

Like I said, Newt is the dream candidate.......for the left.

Anybody who doesn't see and acknowledge that as fact is ignorant of how he was run out of town when he was Speaker of the House.....

Yes, and thanks for quoting me out of context. How sanctimoniously pompous of you.

What I said was, “I’d rather have Barry driving us into the dirt in broad daylight than Newt doing it in the smokey back rooms.”

And for your information, I DID NOT GIVE YOU BARRY! I voted for the RINO-in-chief, McPain, in the last election. I doubt that things would be a whole lot better with that clown at the helm “reaching across the aisle” capitulating to my sworn enemies than with Barry who is my sworn enemy out in the open.

I suppose when it comes to morals and family values, he’s going to love answering questions about serving divorce papers on his wife while she was being treated for cancer

Newt Gingrich: the Bill Clinton of the GOP (except that Bill didn’t divorce Hillary to marry his mistress...).

It will be the same for anyone that announces, over and over again. Every one has baggage. Huck is a minister, Romney is a Mormon, Palin is a cheerleader (nothing more), etc.

Conservatives must get behind someone, Newt will take it to Obama in a smart way. Besides, I don’t think baggage will be any big deal this time around - people want out of this mess and Newt has what it takes to do just that.

Unfortunately, conservatives even here can’t agree on any one candidate. It’s sad.

Just might be that some of us are old enough to remember how Newt was run out of town when he was Speaker and know that his nomination will only be a repeat of that episode on steroids. Many of us realize the Contract with America and how it fell flat after he was elected. We also saw him sit on the couch and nuzzle up with San Fran Nan supporting the Liberal agenda of anthropogenic Globull Warming. Now, what was it you were saying about Newt taking it to Obama in a "smart way"?

Newt REALLY has baggage for being a Republican. He's a dirtbag of a husband...a cheater. I don't hang around people like that in my personal life, and I don't want to vote for one.

Even he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination, let alone winning the office, I think he would be a real plus in the primary season. IMHO he has a better understanding of how government works and the history of America than any of the other possible candidates.

Again, IMHO, it's foolish to deprive our cause of the good that could come from having him in the debates and on the campaign trail because we don't like him personally. His presence in the mix would make others really have to mind their p’s and q’s when it comes to knowing what makes America, and voters, tick.

> I didn’t quote you out of context.

Then why did you leave off the rest of the sentence?

That would make you a liar.

Unless you are logically challenged, you knew perfectly what I was trying to say, but decided to separate my words from their context to put them in the worst possible light.

Living in Iowa and being a Republican activist, we have a steady diet of politics. Just yesterday during serious discussions about who is viable, who isn't, etc., the subject came around to Newt.

Newt is still on our possibility list and yes, we know about his 3 marriages and it's certainly a minus, but we can't find Jesus, yet, and any of our flawed candidates are far better than Obama.
