Fool me twice, shame on me.
It’s Newt’s turn. That’s how the GOP selects their cnadidates, which ever lackluster moderate that’s next in line.
Otherwise, we will see a second term for sure.
Then we need to pound the fact that Santorum or Bachmann need to take the primary or the GOP is done for.
Conservatives have had it with center of the road defiance while getting along against a hard drive to the left political shift by the democrats!
Romney is a absolutely, positively - NO GO!
Gingrich is an insider, and has too much baggage. - NO GO!
Perry is an empty suit, chokes in the debates, and is pro amnesty. - NO GO!
Michelle Bachman is too shrill and easily rattled. Women won't vote for her. - NO GO!
Ron Paul is a looney, and possibly racist, not even taking into account his hate for Israel.NO GO!Santorum, Huntsman, etc... All too unknown and too poor to get any traction. All of them - NO GO!
So the clear winner of the 2012 Presidential elections, according to all the experts here on FreeRepublic is . . . . .
(Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm!)
You think Newt is a insider Republican? Part of the establishment? Could have fooled me!
They, at least, probably have a minor clue.
Texan going to listen to a Canadian about who to vote for? I'm not polite to other Texans on the subject.
KMA. (Canada, not you)

Cokie Roberts called Newt a “bomb-thrower” on This Weak on Sunday...
I’m all for it.
Beats a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread.(Mitt)
Newt is far from perfect...
... but as it turns out, there is no Ronaldus Magnus running in 2012, so perfect isn’t the issue this time around.
We will vote based on imperfect and decide whose baggage is small enough, whose values match ours enough, who is closest to meeting up to the job enough, despite their serious flaws.
Newt has a problem. He can explode.
Newtonium is this way - volatile. It must be held in check by outside control - the House, the Senate, some counsel of reasonable advisers in the inner circle.
Newtonium also has advantages to consider...
It can cause large change, create ideas outside the box, build strategies, etc.
If Newt can trump RINOmney, I’m for him. Willard has no force of change. He is an administrator, manager, status quo wimp.
It will not be pretty, if he wins, but Newt, under control by outside forces may bring dramatic changes.
Anything else will not fix the severe problems in the country.
I would prefer Perry to Newt, but he ain’t risin’ yet and may not.
If it is “none of the above,” you can be sure here will be sparks flying at the Republican National Convention. There will be a candidate emerge who is someone we did not expect.
Psssss! S.P. + M.B. (Clean up D.C. America!)

I've read some ignorant posts, and yours is one for the ages.
It's "Romney's turn."
Romney ran in '08, NOT Gingrich, who's also NOT a moderate.
A lot of American writers post articles in Canada Free Press. Lots.

Yours is one of the better (and more creative) rationales I've seen for giving our votes to Newt. Very well done.
Newtonium....I like it!
If Sarah doesn't step in, I'm going to vote nuclear.
I can’t say that Newt is part of the establishment. I think he is the Newt wing of the GOP. I didn’t mean that the establishment calls all the shots, just that the conservative wing can’t decide what it wants which leads to less than stellar results.
Newt toyed with the idea last time hoping for enough attention to get in. Newt’s probably not moderate given the full political spectrum, but he’s a moderate Republican.
