Nurture the Tea Party? What in the world does than mean? Give me some specifics how a historian has anything to offer Taxed Enough Already?
“...has a lot of baggage that he can not just throw away.”
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7
The entire Western world is in deep doo-doo.
Yes, it would be better to have better candidates.
Tea party types who back Newt do so because they prefer him to Mitt and don't think any of the others has a chance.
Sure wouldn’t check the Atlantic to know what I ought to think about Republican politicians.
Correct-o-mundo! Even if a Preseident Newt lost his way on an issue or two again, he’d be infinitely better than what we have now.
Unless you think Newt would appoint the same kind of activist liberals to the Supreme Court that Obama would, then there’s a HUGE reason to support Newt.
“Why not keep the commie in office and hope for the best.”
Looks like you have bought into the “Hopey-Changey” thing?
A pity Bachmann isn’t able to perform better. Is it the accent? Or did she sacrifice herself when she helped take down Perry? She seems to be the real deal on every issue. Why don’t Republicans like her?
A third party always dooms its proponents to a period of electoral nonperformance, and it almost always puts the wrong people into office ~ usually evil people!
I am Paul Bachmann.
HOWEVER. If Newt gets the nod, damn right I am 100 percent NEWT. We need to oust Obama!
The Atlantic telling the Tea Party anything is a joke.
Not only did Newt support TARP, he stated that if he had still been in office, he would have voted for it. Maybe you shouldn't discount the article after all.
As far as I know, the Tea Party will not be fielding a candidate in the 2012 presidential race. I’m not sure when or where the Tea Party convention will be held next year, but if they DO plan to field a candidate they had better get really busy real soon.
Because there will be no Tea Party Candidate, the choice for the electorate is quite simple. The choice is to either: (a) vote for the Republican party candidate, (b) vote for the Democrat party candidate, (c) vote for an alternative party candidate, (d) write in a name of one’s choosing, or (e) stay at home and not vote at all.
Option (a), if undertaken by sufficient numbers of voters, will end the Obama regime by replacing him with a less-than-perfect new president. If these same voters are able to create a Republican-majority Senate and keep a Republican-majority house, then it is even better. Not perfect, but better.
The other options, if undertaken by sufficient numbers of voter, all have the same outcome. They will ensure 4 more years of hearing the words “President Obama”.
As a potential voter, the choice is yours.
By the way - feel free to poke holes in my analysis.
And that is different from toady how?
No, just hoping for a candidate that would make a change.
Hey, if he wants to blab. Let him blab. Come on, Fred. You know better than this. /sarcasm LOL!
I realize that Newt Gingrich has major liabilities, but don’t you find this editorial over the top? Gingrich is also very knowlegable on the issues and he has some real accomplishments to his record. I’m not saying he’s my first choice, but he’s hardly a disaster.
I believe that as well....
I could agree with that.
