Suffice to say you’re for somebody worse lol

The reason I know that is Gingrich is the most conservative
ELECTABLE candidate imho- ALL the rest are worse for one reason or another

Noot strong-armed Bubba into four years of balanced budgets and you call him ‘not far removed’ from another Obama term

That’s fair, lol

You give Newt far too much credit (i.e. - balanced budget/strong-arm Bubba).

In fact, you kind of backed up my premise - that a strongly Republican Congress (BOTH houses) would keep Obama in check. A RINO in the WH would get their way even with a Repub Congress (lest we forget the do-nothing years of GW Bush’s first 6 years....).

Am I for somebody worse? Right now, I am “for” NONE OF THE ABOVE, as far as the press/George Soros choices for the Republican nomination. I personally am sick and tired of being told who I can vote for. I am fed up with holding my nose and voting for someone who I cannot even pretend to trust. Here we are, pretending to be “Conservatives”, yet we are willing to compromise on every major conservative principal to “get elected”? You have to be nuts to think that is a better plan.

What is the point of claiming to be Conservative if we are willing to throw it all away just to win an election? What does that do? It shifts the politics of the entire nation further to the Left.. It’s far beyond time to pull things back to the RIGHT. As the Dems continue to fly WAY off to the Leftist/Marxist wing, the last thing we need to do is elect a “moderate/fake Conservative”. If your ship is veering hard towards an iceberg, do you straighten out the wheel (thus sending you directly into the iceberg), or do you turn the wheel to the right to correct the course and get back in the shipping channel (responsible, Constitutional government).

I have been called naive before for saying that we need to stand our ground and quit “Holding our noses” to vote... “thats just not how Washington works”.... That is because we have tolerated “how it works” for far too long. The ONLY hope this nation has (on top of turning to Jesus in masses) is electing real conservatives.

My expectations in a candidate are not “superhuman”. Heck - even Ronald Reagan had his faults (after all - he WAS a Democrat before he came to his senses). But when we begin to compromise core/key values - then we have gained absolutely nothing by getting a candidate elected.

Maybe comparing Newt to Jimmy Carter was a bit unfair - but I just don’t see him being significantly less LEFT than Clinton... and I believe that is a valid comparison.

“The reason I know that is Gingrich is the most conservative
ELECTABLE”

I kinda sorta understand the anybody but a democrat mindset and the nomination of liberals or psuedo-conservatives following from it. But I’ll never understand why people think Newt is electable. What, just because he’s moderate and has hung around Washington long enough? That was the only argument for McCain, as I recall, and see how well that worked. Newt will never do better.
