Here's my answer to Rand Paul based upon an analysis of the race with the two GOP frontrunners against the Kenyan Marxist. It assigns 1-10 points based on value standards established by Jim Robinson, the founder of Free Republic, a stalwart defender of Constitutional Conservatism.

By my calculations, Newt Gingrich wins all 57 [:-)] states but, admittedly, loses the District of Columbia and is utterly crushed in Berkeley. However in the real America, it's a clean sweep. As for Romney? Well, the figures show that he's a lot closer to Obama than he is to the man who most assuredly will be our next President.

January 2013 isn't that far away. That's when the restoration of American Exceptionlism begins. I can hardly wait!

I copied this from another thread since I think it's topical here as well.

I suppose you could say he's pro-family. He's had several, himself. Not too convinced on the limited gov't one at all, though. You can't ask Newt a question without his coming up with a new government program on the fly.

And why just compare him to Romney? The choice is not between Newt and Romney; if it were, no one here would be arguing. Once people actually cast a ballot (remember that the primaries haven't even started yet), the field may even out a bit.

Now, there are worse candidates, to be sure. But it still surprises me the degree to which so many conservatives are willing to overlook Newt's entire career because of his TV debate performances.

“Value Gingrich Romney Obama

If you're going to shoot yourself in the foot, nothing like using an assault rifle. “Pro-family” legislators aren't banging a young staffer on a House conference table while married to another woman.

Gingrich has betrayed conservatives as often as he has betrayed his wives.
