Keep eating your own, and say hello to President Clinton in 2008
Newt made a formal announcement that he won't run. Read it on Town Hall.com.
Newt knows what kind of media blitz he would unleash if he runs.
I went to Townhall and saw no such "formal announcement." Got a link?
I could never vote for Gingrich.
I agree. However, here is my stock response to the conservatives who seem eager to see Hillary as POTUS so that they can say they voted (or not) on principle.
I will vote for the Republican nominee for POTUS because that person is more likely to fight the war on terror, cut taxes and regulations, and appoint more constructionsit judges. (On the last, a lot of Rep POTUS' have made mistakes).
That means I will hold my nose and vote for McCain or Romney. Although concerned about RINO tendencies, I like Rudy as a person, and will also vote for him if he gets the nomination.
And away goes Rudy down the drain!
(Be careful TxVet, then it's plain
The one name left is John McCain)
I am beginning to believe that President Hillary would be preferable to President Giuliani.
At least with Hillary running things, conservatives would dig in and fight. With Rudy pushing the same agenda, our opposition would wilt.
If the Clinton's 1996 Health Care plan was pushed by Rudy Giuliani, instead of Hillary, it would have passed.
That would be the perfect ticket for the MSM . They would use Rudy and Newt's combined baggage to drive a wedge into the Republican ranks in an attempt to get the religious Conservatives to stay home , '06 repeat.
The MSM thinks that this formula will work again , and it will, if Rudy is the nominee .
Newt got demonized and shredded by the Klinton/MSM machine in the past, and it surely would happen again .
I am for all those things you listed. But I am willing to compromise on them. For instance, I am a strong supporter of the fair tax, and yet I would vote for a republican who is against tax reform if they had a chance of winning.
HOWEVER, I have some principles I will never compromise. Abortion is the top of the list. I think we all have positions that we hold but are willing to compromise on, I hope we all hold some positions so dearly that there is no compromise.
I will compromise on most things to win, BUT I will not sell my soul to gain fiscal responsibility in the White House. There is a difference between political positions and core values.
And away goes Rudy down the drain!

What we have heyah, is a hilarious retort!
((((applause))))
For some "born-again Christians" the only person "worthy" of their political vote would be Jesus. Not likely in this election cycle.
This is the second or third article I've seen that seems to confirm this trend. It will be interesting to watch freepers try and condemn evangelicals as treasonous liberals.
Sure, dude.
