Go Newt!
Newt 08
"Go Newt!"
If the Republicans understood or even cared why they lost last week, they'd have made Newt RNC chair.
Republicanism Lost, but Conservatism Did Not
I believe there was just a handful of conservative republicans running.
You are so right. If Newt took this position wouldn't it mean he could not run for President. I don't actually see him as running anyway, but it sure would be nice if he became the next Presidents Rove.
"The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington."
Newt ping.
I think America lost... and is lost. I try to observe as much as I can. I listen to the stupid liberals around me, I was MSM on occassion to see what they're pitching to the masses.
I have seen stories on the election, and did they dig into the idological shift? Did they talk about the ultimate political gamesmanship that will come of this? No. They were crowing about the number of women in Congress now. Obviously paving the way for Hillary.
I hear the kids around me, most tend to be liberal. The Marxists were correct in taking over the education system. It is working as they expected.
I watch as we pass law after law taking away individual rights and see the people around me gleeful about it.
The America I knew really is gone. The liberals are dragging it to a European socialist meltdown.
It's insane. My brother, who as long since gone off the deep end with liberalism, (translation: He holds liberal beliefs and becomes irrational when challenged). I know him enough to know he is more of a Zell Miller Democrat. Now he's going to get the society of entitlement, and more Mexicans on a daily basis. He's fundamentally against those things, but will accept them because they come from the Democrats.
I find I'm observing a little less in the last few days. I guess it's the realization that I'm powerless, and what will happen will happen.
I hate liberals... and my brother has become someone I can barely tolerate.
I wish America would vote for Newt and Duncan Hunter...what a STRONG, work-oriented ticket (whatever the order)!
Newt is going to run. There is no one else to the right of McCain that has the name recognition and the trust of the Conservative base to bring the party back to prominence.
"Pelosi, despite all her talk of moving to the center and reaching out to conservatives, will govern from the left."
What, exactly, does the Speaker of the House governs?
************
He's going to run. Best of luck, Newt.
The result was that, by Election Day, Democrats were seen as better at controlling government spending and at reducing taxes.
We need to swallow that jagged little pill and quit blaming people for staying home. The message was sent, those who receive is will fare better than those who don't.
The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.
Bingo. At some point, you get so frustrated with your wireless carrier that you pay the early termination fee. How big that fee is remains to be seen.
I sure pray that conservatives can find it withing themselves to forgive Newt for his transgressions and put him in the White House.
You bet! Newt - you magnificent bastard!
Let us celebrate for we knew the BEST times in America. We relished economic freedom and individual liberty. We have been rewarded for our risks and hard work. We knew independence, self reliance and pursued the notion that a government which governs least governs best. There were choices and opportunities all around and if you fell down you could get back up, wipe yourself off and start all over again because we had faith.
It's always been a struggle but we had individualism instead of an entitled group think on our side. The intense indoctrination began in the 1990's and I think it has worked. The scales have been tipped. The opposition believes the better days are ahead. But we know reality.
P.S. I do not go for the 'Paul Hackett' we lost but we won. Giving up this much ground in 'wartime' is a disaster.

"The scales have been tipped. The opposition believes the better days are ahead. But we know reality."
One of the things that hit me hardest in the past election is one of the seemingly smallest items. In Ohio, we had to anti smoking bills, issue 4 was to ban smoking in public, but allow some businesses, (bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, etc.) to decide for themselves. Issue 5 was the full out smoking Nazi ban. I'm a non-smoker, but I believe in individual rights. Let the market, and the people decide what to do, after all, smoking is legal, you can buy tobacco.
Issue 5 passed by a HUGE margin. We don't understand freedom, and we are gleefully handing away our rights.
" I don't actually see him as running anyway, but it sure would be nice if he became the next Presidents Rove."
The last thing we need is another President with a Rove... ;)
We need someone who actually knows what he's doing. ;)
