GO Newt GO! The man who should be President.
I so agree with you, and this is an excellent example of why. He can take an issue and make it simple to understand and logical. I've been trying to figure out why the “Republican Machine” wanted Romney over Gingrich. Could it be 1) looks; 2) able to raise more money; 3) of course, Gingrich's “baggage” will be touted, but that doesn't seem feasible, otherwise they would have gone with Santorum or Bachmann.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction; it’s not something we pass along in our bloodstream.
It must be fought-for, protected, and passed-along for them to do the same” Ronald Reagan
He was. You’ve just shown that the media can program your mindset, sadly. This same Newt has had all his ideas and data available, for any who would get beyond the media programming. This is the same newt , you’re just now realizing what he stands for while the facts have been available from the start, for those not at the mercy of the media vermin.
Because the Republican Machine is driven by RINOism and Romney is an uber RINO and Newt isn't. Just that simple.
The RNC knows that should Newt become President he will try and restrain government and trim/cut government programs. That would mean (horror of horrors) a reduction in the RNC's power. Can't have that. By promoting Romney they get a guy that will pretty much leave things the way they are or maybe promote a few more poorly thought out government programs.
Think of private equity as capitalism’s rescue squad.
Too bad, but Newt would have ripped this corrupt communists leaning Federal Government to pieces. Romney hasn’t the knowledge or will to do the same. If America gets Romney, only a very small portion of the corruption the communists Democrats will be overturned. Romeny just doesn’t get it.
Obama looks at Bain as a gift from Romney, a way for him to focus his war on Capitalism, without admitting that is his goal. If Obama were a little smarter, and less a leftist ideologue, he would back out of this trap, but he can’t.
Greta line. I just wish it came from somebody who hadn’t attacked Romney for Bain Capital....
Greta = Great
Stupid Party.
As you may know I was a big Newt supporter, and the only explanation I can offer is that Gingrich is his own man... Romney will do what the party tells him to do
This election called for someone that can clearly explain/sell conservatism to a politically bewildered populace, just as the Gipper did.
Alas, the RNC chose to help destroy Gingrich instead... what class he has then to offer his unqualifed support and formidable communication skills to the Romney campaign, a REAL team-player.
If you look back, Newt ONLY went negative on Romney when forced to... this is the same FHS Gingrich that led in Iowa and won in NC. I’m not so sure I could have forgiven Mitt for what he did in FLA, but none of us want it to be Obama... so here we are.
GO GET ‘EM Mr Speaker
Well put
Thanks!
You post nonsense. Newt's Florida campaign was terrible. He bashed Romney over Bain and pushed himself as a pandering moon-base futurist. Had Newt come off of the SC win with a positive, responsible economic and national security platform and stuck with it he might not have dropped like a rock. After SC, Romney portrayed Newt as an unreliable self-seeking opportunist and Newt did his part to drive that message home.
Apparently you think you are the only one not played like a puppet by the media. I see no reason to agree with you on this.
Yeah -- helloooo all you Newt idolizers. Criticizing Bain Capital may not have been the cause of his downfall, but it happened simultaneously. Newt is brilliant, in a patronizingly hypocritical and inconsistent sort of way.
And, yes, his defense is very good. Give me just one reason why I should think he believes it given what he said just a couple months ago.
