Even though he’s not a conservative at all we should protect him and hope he is the nominee. That makes sense.
If all people care about is beating Obama we should nominate some random homeless person and be done with it.
Newt is responsible for introducing syphilis to America.
You are right. I apologize. I should have seen it by now. We really are better off with Obama.
Thank you for convincing me.
“Newt is no conservative.”
No, he is not. We have not had one since January 20, 1989.
Newt killed the indians with measles-ridden blankets.
Newt? Norfolk n way.
“It’s a no-brainer you vote for Newt.”
Between the two, why?
Newt is even worse. He supports individual mandate in federal level. This is core conservative position.
Anyway, both are unacceptable.
“94% Conservative Rating as congressman.”
That is not fair! We aren’t supposed to use stuff like that.
We are supposed to only consider incomplete, dated and poorly written hit pieces. If it’s not negative against Newt, it shouldn’t be posted.
Newt is bad, Romney and then Obama is good.
Obama can fix all of our problems if we can just give him another 4 years.
I wonder how Herman-single digit-Cain is doing this morning.....
BINGO!
In Congress - the most important skill is pre-emption and strategy.
You have to know the process - the players - the language and the limits. It’s an acquired talent; knowing how devious or dumb your opponents are - and being bi-lingual (double speak in Rio Linda).
Not bean-bag.
“Between the two, why?
Newt is even worse.”
jmo
You left out the part where Reagan supported the initial effort to change the twenty year old document and later vetoed the Democratic-controlled Congress’s effort to make the doctrine law. As to votes in Congress, how many times have we seen votes made or changed according to necessity for reasons other than the bill itself.
This is another in a long line of hit pieces we’ll see ... Reagan’s enthusiasm for this Newt co-sponsored bill (with 71 others - Gee, Wally, that almost means he did it all himself) was pretty well documented.
“94% Conservative Rating as congressman.”
And how do you rate Pelosi? 92%?
I don't know anything about this, but I'm sure if you ask Newt, he'll explain it. At worst, it was a mistake made a long time ago. What would be more important is .....Where does he stand TODAY on this issue.
You can sift through a 50 year career and find a lot of things that “sound” like ammunition to use against Newt. At the end of the day it is irrelevant to me. Usually, Newt will have a logical explanation for any soundbite you can come up with, but the present is what I care about, because that is where we live.
1987? That was a different time. Back then, there was no Limbaugh, no conservative media, no FOX News, etc. All there was on radio was NPR and liberals all over TV (and newsprint).
If we have to choose between Mittens and Newtered ... conservatives and the country are SCREWED
It was not Eve, it was Newt that ate the apple.
Very odd. But wait, that was the pre-Rush Era, did libs not dominate the airwaves then? Was the doctrine just an attempt, in Newt’s mind, to bring more conservatism into the liberal media? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm predicting Palin will endorse Perry.
And did you also know that Newt kills baby kittens and makes your brain rot!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!
