At this stage of the game, one thing is certain... nothing is certain.
Principle, principle, principle.
Well, we shall see what we shall see. Meanwhile, one hour before the Cain/Gingridh debate on C-Span, guess who is flapping his jaws while reading his speech? None other than the great O!
Hwy, I’ve got an idea.
Whyn’t y’all take a chill pill, pop some corn, grab a brew and sit back and watch the debate.
None of us knows everything, no matter how convinced we are we do. there’s always room to learn something.
So watch the freaking debate and THEN pontificate...unless, of course you have a candidate better than either Newt or Herman. If so, DO enlighten us.

Comes on at eight - Warning, if you bring up the link right now, you might want to turn the sound off ;o)
Like him or not, I would pay money for tickets to see him debate Obama or Biden. He would cream either.
He is though my choice at this point.
With three wives and a history of ethics violations.
Has Newt done anything to walk back his embrace of global warming?
Coming on strong, eh?
Sure, why not. Let’s run another fuddy-duddy, over-the-hill, silver haired, DC insider, reach-across-the-aisle Republican for president, against the Boy King.
Surely that’ll work the second time around...
Newt Gingrich is a patriot. He has conducted himself with dignity, urgency and clarity in this campaign. He is not a perfect man, and being such a public person, his imperfections, personal and professional, are magnified in large part due to the liberal press who hate him for the tremendous success he had in the 90’s.
Without Gingrich, there would not have been the Republican revolution of ‘94, there would not have been the balanced budget law of ‘96, there would not have been the Welfare Reform in ‘96, and I dare say, the business environment that resulted in big stock market growth in those years.
Bill Clinton was a man with no imagination for anything but keeping himself in power and chasing women. Gingrich set the conservative agenda in our country and dragged Clinton along with him. Clinton’s ‘triangulation’ strategy was nothing more than a survival game, pulling the country back from the left wing wildness that he and his donkey minions in Congress tried to destroy us with his first 2 years in power. Triangulation was ultimately Billy’s recognition that Newt was right, and that the only way for him to save himself. The media gave Clinton all the credit and never stopped hating Newt for it. They destroyed Newt with a phony scandal in ‘98. Rather than drag us through more trouble, Newt apologized in front of the whole country and kept the Republicans in charge. His weak successors ultimately failed us.
The more we see of this field, in my view it is not even close who is the most qualified, prepared and proven leader who can lead us out of the disaster we are in. I am tired of rehashing his imperfections. I believe Newt Gingrich loves America and has the most critical capabilities we need and I am now supporting him.
Newt does not in any way thrill me, but (unlike Romney) he has my vote if he gets the nomination. He’s a sleaze and an insider, but he will lead in whatever direction the Congress wants to be led, just to look like he’s in front. That’s better than Romney who will stroll down the path to socialism or Obama who will race to the socialist finish line (where America is finished). I’m okay with electing Newt, but it’s phenomenally important to send him with a conservative Congress.
Nope.
LOL!
Just.
LOL!
bttt
No
I thought Newt would do himself a lot of good tonight on CSPAN. He did and so did Cain. They exchanged notes just before the start of the dialogue. I think they have an agreeement to kick the rest of the field to the curb and be the last two on the Island. OK by me.
I watched the so-called debate tonight. I would call it a conference instead of a debate, however, I think that both candidates did what they set out to do, and improved their relative positions in the primary contest- Newt possibly more than Cain, because of Cain’s multiple “you go first” comments. But Cain getting needed exposure in a friendly setting, probably helped himself overall. At this point, I can support either. I still wish John Bolton had thrown his hat in.
