OK, Swell. Another laundry list of supposed Gingrich sins.

So, what's your solution? Palin's out. Cain's out. Romney/Huntsman unsuitable. Paul's an idiot, Nixon's dead, Reagan's dead and we have a disease in the White House.

Either support Gingrich and get Obama out of the presidency or just go ahead and vote for Obama. Those are the choices, nicht war?

I’m for Newt. He’s the only choice that we have. Obama or Gingrich. Pick one.

"Either support Gingrich and get Obama out of the presidency or just go ahead and vote for Obama."

That argument would only make sense if Gingrich could actually beat Obama. But Rasmussen says he can't:

Rasmussen: Obama 45%, Gingrich 40%

Reagan's dead and we have a disease in the White House.

One of the best descriptions I have ever read of our current situation. Bravo!

The Newt haters are ridiculous in that they refuse to acknowledge what he has done good for conservatism. The Newt supporters, on the other hand, seem to have the intellectual honesty to admit he’s a flawed candidate.

So while the haters list a bunch of article or opinions of Newt’s let me present a laundry list of his conservative accomplishments - things that actually a happened and effected lives - not interviews or PSA’s.

Led first GOP victory in congress in 40 years
Authored conservative manifesto called Contract with America
Forced welfare reform on Bill Clinton.
Forced balanced budget on Bill Clinton

The pure Bachmann nor Santorum have ever shown even a whiff of that kind of ability. I like their opinions, but dammit, ability matters.

Actions speak very loud.

Coulls always vote Perry. He’s got the money and organization to run a national campaign, so just needs the votes to get the trifecta of *win*.

Though, he can’t debate well. But considering that his opposition would be the man who needs a teleprompter to speak with preschoolers... I’d call it a wash.

Those laundry lists are short on context. In the House the bills introduced are not ‘stand alone’ - they are loaded with amendments, earmarks and add-ons. Voting is a balancing act between the lesser of two evils. In Congress - no elected representative is an island. You vote yea or nay or block -depending if you have the numbers on your side.

It ain’t bean-bag - and Newt was successful when it mattered.
