Former House speaker and possible presidential contender Newt Gingrich, speaking Thursday night at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, conjured up images of an Islamic dictatorship in the United States as the consequence of failure in Iraq.
''It isn't about Israel. It isn't about us being in Iraq,'' Gingrich told about 500 people gathered at the Impact '07 leadership conference at Stabler Arena. ''They want to impose their dictatorship on us.'' In grim terms, Gingrich described the most severe consequences for women, who he said would not have been allowed to attend the Lehigh conference.
''If you want to be able to drive, to have a job, to have a checkbook; if you don't want to have to wear a veil; if you want to be able to appear in public without a man, you'd better hope our team wins,'' Gingrich said as he concluded his appearance on the Stabler stage, the first visit to the Lehigh Valley by a potential 2008 White House contender. During a question-and-answer session, event host and radio personality Bobby Gunther Walsh put Gingrich on the spot about his presidential aspirations, but the Pennsylvania-born former congressman from Georgia remained coy. ''Beats me,'' Gingrich said when Walsh asked him if he would run. Asked about a possible running mate, Gingrich said: ''I don't know.''

Liberals are still clueless about all this. Better to fight Christianity and disarm America in their view.
That’s a leader right there.
How about a Thompson-Gingrich ticket. Very similar to what we have in our current administration, with Thompson, like President Bush, providing inspriational leadership and Gingrich, like Vice President Cheney, providing policy acumen and detail orientation... and steel.
The first step is not allowing us to report suspicious activity at airports. The Democrats — butt-buddies of the Jihadists — have already taken that step for us.
With all his baggage I don’t think Gingrich would be a good choice for Veep. As a person he is definately a good choice, but his past is a major obstacle.
Do you really believe Christian. ie social conservative, voters would vote for a ticket with Newt on it?
I love Lehigh. Twice last year they hosted an open videoconference with troops in Iraq. The students saw and heard first hand about how media coverage is slanted toward the negative.
I would take the reverse of that!
Personally, I don't believe the baggage disqualifies him for VP. Clear thinking conservatives would tend to agree with me, I'll bet.
Islamic fanatics and their “supposed” moderate peace loving brothers, who have already infiltrated our country, will force their Islamic laws on those who are left after their blood bath. IMO, these fanatics will make the Holocaust “small potatoes” compared to their plans for us. Americans are still clueless when it comes to the evil that’s brewing. Descriptions of the horrific slaughter of Americans and others in Iraq seem to have not penetrated the thick skulls of the MSM and most American Liberals not to mention the millions of Americans who have chosen to ignore the winds of war.
Newt is fairly far off the beam and coming in for a landing anyway. The oil industry report this week said that the industry will not be able to meet demand in the next two decades, and that assumes the ME production is available. The hard problem is that the ME can be lost and taken off line, which would compound the oil supply problem we will have at best into a massive oil supply problem. That in turn would crash the world economy and have other side effects, none of them good. Staying in the ME will ease the problem to the maximum extent possible even if it can’t solve the problem.
I personally would not have any problem voting for that ticket but I am concerned about the independent voters. They are going to make or break this election.
Islamic ringtones (I guess that's the audio of a victim being beheaded with his killers shouting 'Allahu akhbar' in the background)
Islamic banks (don't pay interest, but probably funnel profits to Al Qaeda).
Funny, I never remember reading about Shinto temples and Bund meetings during WW2 ...
So lets see. What's left. They all have baggage. This man was the instigator of the contract for America and it did very well. It's his ideas that might be the thorn in the side of the RATS, MSM and so on.
I would have to disagree. Dobson has already had him on "Focus on the Family" earlier this year. At that time, Gingrich gave a preview of how he would handle questions about his past. If Dobson comes out for him, Christian Conservative will follow. Like him or hate him, Right Wing Christians listen to Dobson as he has proven himself over the years. I would vote for Newt because in the arena of ideas-no one even comes close.
I think of Thompson as a possible front man too, a former persuasive lobbyist who gets along with everyone. Not my choice for prez.
” Funny, I never remember reading about Shinto temples and Bund meetings during WW2 ...”
Maybe that’s why the Framers thought actually declaring war before waging it was better than prosecuting one until it couldn’t be sustained politically. Ah, but what did they know?
