Newt Gingrich is winning over Republicans.
Over the past few months, the former House speaker has charmed primary voters one debate at a time. The once underdog — dismissed as a has-been when he first announced his run and the laughingstock of the race after he accumulated $1 million in debt this summer and was abandoned by almost his entire political team — has compellingly mixed historical insight, warmth toward his fellow GOP candidates, and rancor toward the media into a formula that has propelled him to the top of the polls.
But is Gingrich the savior the GOP has been yearning for, as the party lurches from one flavor-of-the-month contender to the next? Gingrich, of course, has an impressive political résumé, particularly his 1994 Contract with America. But he also has, to borrow Tim Pawlenty’s term, some significant “clunkers” in his record that conservatives may want to consider before settling on Gingrich as the man of the hour. In no particular order, here are ten items in Gingrich’s record that might give conservatives pause:

You need to put that link in every THREAD forthcoming, it is a MUST for all thinking people to see. Don't worry about doing it over and over and over, in every thread. You have noticed that many/legions of NEWT bashers are not shy in re-posting their HATE NEWT SPAM to infinity.
Because I am an uncompromising, small-government, America- first, conservative... and Newt is a walk-across-the-aisle, big government, globalist.
The Jesus candidate does not exist, I suggest we all get down off your high horse, use our heads and the grey matter in between. Out of all we see in the gop field each one has been beat up by the media and none have taken them on directly except Newt. Now it is his turn to where the bulls eye and we will see how he fairs. My guess is he will tear them up and spit them out and this is the guy we need to do the same to the criminal and chief in a debate.
I have been and you are welcome to have at it too. However, the Cain folks don’t care.... they are in love.
ROFL, and that same blind, DUMB, pied piper "emotion" is what got us ZERO. Oh the charisimo spell that has been cast, and don't forget 9-9-9.
YEAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Go Team NEWT. Good and true statement.
Katrina basically rewrote a hit piece against Gingrich that has been making the rounds of the pro-Romney blogs. These guys do all of Mitt’s dirty work for him so his hands can remain “clean.”
Rmney backers dissing Mitt for not being “conservative enough.” What is wrong with that picture?
Meant to type: Romney backers dissing Newt for not being “conservative enough.” What is wrong with that picture?
Bless your heart!
Excellent speech in 5 parts regardless of how you feel about him! I would love to see Newt debate Obummer (no contest) Hell I’d even spot “O” his teleprompter lol
Hell I’d even spot “O” his teleprompter lol
I think Newt said that he would do that. LOL
Cain’s every answer, on every foreign policy question is, I’ll ask others.
Listen to him.
I like Cain. He is my 2nd choice. But I fear his obvious weakness. Cain is inexperienced and weak.
Not surprising... I’ll pass.
LLS
Calling Newt a "big government, globalist" proves you're too stupid to vote.
I hope he makes it. Just hearing his State of the Union speeches would be worth electing him.
Great story. I didn’t know you were Jewish!
No, but I know Jews personally and I almost married a doctor.
Certainly would, wow, can’t wait.
