Honing in on your point that Newt is a free thinker.
Explaining his tendency to sometimes say stupid things.
Does he have to say them just because they cross his mind, or write them in a book for that reason?
I have a lot of thoughts that might not be ready for sharing with the world, even if I had a megaphone to share them.
So let me phrase it a different way...to me, his problem isn’t that he’s a free thinker, or limited to the fact that he speaks his thoughts out of turn...
Bottom line is his standard of what is appropriate to advance in the public arena is...Newt himself.
He’s his own standard of what should be adopted as a public stance. He thought it was good to lavishly praise Hillary...many have forgotten that...sit with Pelosi about Global Warming, say the era of Reagan is over, say FDR was the greatest, praise Andy Stern of SEIU in his book, and on and on, simply because his mind thought of it, period.
Thought it was ok to take millions from Freddie Mac because he was Newt and they asked him.
Converted to Catholicism as a result of Calista’s influence, when that is the same person he had an affair with and was to become his third wife, and put that forward to the public as proof he’s changed. Can’t seem to see how convoluted that is and might be a political turn off to many.
The Newt standard for Newt...another standard need not apply.
I’ve expressed my views.
Nothing to add.
And my support for Govenor Perry is well known.
Yep, no point in comparing Newt to some more-perfect and more conservative candidate, because none such exist
You fight with the army you have
That’s a great tidbit there- thx!
There is no way the general electorate will vote for him. It is also very disturbing to look deeply into his Democrat past. Especially the time period where he supported Al Gore.
The hypocrisy of Mittens and Perry calling Newt a lib is simply amazing
Obama-esque, even
Didn’t George Will go so far as to call Newt a Marxist? Talk about hyperbole. Sheesh
If Gingrich wins the nomination, how is she going to support the Republican ticket? She has called him a socialist. If she is a true Christian and doesn’t bear false witness — well, IMO she already did, many times over, in the debates so far.
