GINGRICH GLOVES OFF
'Conservative alternative to Mitt Romney'...
'More electable than anybody else'...
Posted on 11/28/2011 1:57:59 PM PST by Evil Slayer
Newt Gingrich, who not long ago was urging his fellow Republican candidates to avoid tearing one another apart in pursuit of the party’s presidential nomination, took a new approach on Monday by explicitly declaring: “I don’t claim to be the perfect candidate; I just claim to be a lot more conservative than Mitt Romney.”
With his candidacy on the rise, Mr. Gingrich opened a three-day campaign visit to South Carolina and warned Republicans to be suspicious of candidates who “adopt radically different positions.” It was a fresh glimpse into the sharpening tenor of the nominating fight as the first round of voting begins in five weeks.
“We think there has to be a solid conservative alternative to Mitt Romney,” Mr. Gingrich told WSC Radio in Charleston, S.C. “I’m the one candidate who can bring together national security conservatives, and economic conservatives, and social conservatives in order to make sure we have a conservative nominee.”

GINGRICH GLOVES OFF
'Conservative alternative to Mitt Romney'...
'More electable than anybody else'...
Compared to Mitt Romney, Gingrich is conservative. Sadly, so would John F. Kennedy if he would compared to Slick Mitt.
Can You Spot The Pro-ILLEGAL Alien RINO?
This claim is almost a slip of the veil.
Newt is a the establishment RINO candidate that is branded to be more appealing to true conservatives.
It is all marketing/ spin.
The main difference between Mitt and Newt is that Newt does a far better job faking it with conservatives, like he does with his wives.
If he starts panting “Yes ... yes ... YES!” watch out because we are about to get screwed,
What the hell, if newt is a conservative the country is finished.
But, if Cain asked him to be his VP, would he accept?
Newt is conservative compared to Mittens. He will close the border and deal with Iran.
I’m not sure how Newt qualifies as an alternative to Romney. He is more of the same, possibly better in a dweeby way. He didn’t create Romney care, but he could have, with Hillary’s help.
Compared to commie rommie
the Newster is Ronald W. Reagan!
Like I said on another thread..I’d like Newt A LOT more if he were someone else!
The problem with Newt’s plan for a border fence is there is a revolving door every 25 miles.
LOL, yeh, and if I hit my hand with an 8-oz hammer it doesn’t hurt as much as if I hit it with a 10-oz hammer.
Let’s see.
Newt supports
- amnesty
- Global Warming scam and he pushed government regulation of everything already in the 1990s
- individual mandate in health care
- accuses Ryan of right-wing social engineering
- horribly mismanaged Congress when GOP finally gained power
He has been good in friendly debates, but given that he lost badly to John Kerry (!) in Lincoln-Douglas style debate few years ago, I’m not sure he would fare better against O either.
For me, his fanatical on your face attitude for amnesty was the final nail in the coffin. If we give up amnesty, then there is not much to do anymore. In the end, 100M illegals legalized, and even more would try to sneak in given the amnesty idea.
Any GOP nominee would be better.
I would never, in any circumstance vote for Newt. I would vote even for Paul or Romney before them. In general election, I would stay home rather than to vote that amnesty hack.

I think the “Big Guy” may be spinning in his grave.
And those seem to be the best the GOP has to offer.
Full disclosure, Cain is #1 and Newt is #2. You can not conclude that Newt is the establishment candidate just because he was in Washington for many years. Example, Newt pissed the RINOs when he fought against the Bush I tax increase (Read my lips, no new taxes (for 2 years)). He also ticked off the insiders when he instituted term limits for committee chairs (he passed this when he could not get term limits passed). It was the insiders who ran Newt out of town in 98. They could not wait to get Denny Haster in and start earmarking.
Newt is proposing many things in his contract which will piss of the insiders. The insiders will figure out Romney is only a 23% and turn to Newt. My concern is that they will the asked him to tone down in new contract to become the "acceptable to everyone" candidate and he will oblige .
That did it for me also. Amnesty is a deal killer, I don't care who the candidate is.
Fence is a stupid idea anyway. Put troops on the border with drones and satellite surveilance.
