My sister- in-law wrote from Florida when Newt and Cain were both there....but like you learned it after the fact or she would have been there. Sorry you missed Newt....:(

I am happy to share my family members are fast coming into Newt’s court now...and that without my imput! Makes me glad!

Who is your candidate montag813?

I like Cain, and still think he could be the secret sauce to defeat Obozo. But he may not be able to recover. If Newt wins I will get behind him 100%, however. If Newt crashes and Romney too for some reason, then it is possible some new candidiates may come in before June. This whole crew seems unfinished somehow. I am sure I'm not alone in feeling we are missing some great would-be nominee out there somewhere.

We are, and you wanna know why? People like Jim DeMint, Sarah Palin and others won’t run because if the media doesn’t crucify them, their fellow Conservatives will if they don’t toe the line every step of the way.

It would be an election season to enjoy - watching that little Caesar get whittled down to a grease spot on the stage.

LOL!

I'd love to see a Newt priority be VOTER FRAUD also.
* border control
* english only as national language
* voter ID required

English will be the official language of this country.

That alone would cause immediate self-deportation,
especially here in San Diego!

Wow, would I love to see ENGLISH spoken here!!!!
No more bilingual classrooms.

Asians, especially, assimilate fast because they have to.

I notice that sometimes in puff pieces the writer, if they bring up any negative that the candidate was involved in or said, tries to make it seem like “old news.”

Reading that line gave me that feeling. If I was wrong, I am not too big of a man to admit it.

“He is the only one who has come up with a logical solution to a very, very, very complex problem.”

They broke the law. Both parties want to reward them for it. What’s so complicated?

You always know who the smartest, most humane person is when Newt’s in the room, he’s the one with the big neon sign on his head.

“if they don’t toe the line every step of the way.”

How about if they are with us on all of the big issues and 90% of the smaller issues?

One wonders if the posters that keep saying these half truths do so deliberately or because they don't’ do due diligence research?

How can you call it half-truths, I've listened to him speak? I don't know how it's jealously either, there are many smart people in DC who are well respected.

If Gingrich is the nominee then we will be stuck with four more years of Obama picking Supreme Court Justices; primary voters may be willing to overlook such arrogance but many in the general will not.

He has a big ego. Anyone who runs for President has a big ego.

True but the ones who flaunt it don't last long.

In a debate last Tuesday, Gingrich spoke out about his immigration position, and he said, was misinterpreted by his GOP opponents. He said the tenents of his immigration plan are “Control the border, English is the official language of the United States, and it’s baloney, if anyone suggests that I favor amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants.”

There's a lot of morons running around here with egg all over their faces. All I got to say to them is, pipe down sparky.

English is the official language of the United States,

That's demagoguery and Newt knows it. Such a bill would never get through the Senate but it makes for easy red meat that a lot of primary voters fall for apparently.

“Well there’s a couple ways you can take this....One...he’s going to need their votes and all the candidates will be appealing to them. Two....it’s an excellant way to offset the black majority vote for BO...so that our side wins! “

While it’s true that Newt may need to pander to minorities to get the votes, a CONSERVATIVE will not, as the base will come out, and the base will vote Republican. A non-conservative, like Newt, besides demoralizing the base (like McCain did) also has to worry about a Third Party coming from the right...which WILL happen this time.

It will be nice when people stop swallowing the media and opponent hype parroting the sound bite and listen to what he has been outlining as his immigration stance all along - starting with POINT ONE: Close the border.

That might be nice.

But your dilema is how to spin it to those of us who actually watched and listened to the debate and heard every word Newt spoke.

Hmmm....

And here is a news flash to your POINT ONE:

Closing the border is a seperate issue from the granting of amnesty. Don't conflate the two.

Allowing people who broke the law entering and broke the law working here under bogus identities to remain here legally is amnesty no matter how you or anyone else attempts to parse the word.

We can get a fair amount of the black vote as well - put Herman on the ticket.

Yes, I do think Herman will have a possible roll down the road here...if he rises above the thicket he’s fallen in....either or he does appeal to some...but on a whole the black vote still remains in Obamas court...especially those who love the handouts.

It doesn't take much to understand they've broken the law...but 'Amnesty is citizenship' in relationtion to Immigration LAw... and that is not what Newt wants nor does he support that.....a close look at his plan and his invite by others to tweek it so their won't be Amnesty is open for all to contribute instead of just moaning and groaning why it won't work.
