Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Newt Gingrich may be the better presidential candidate than Mitt Romney, making him the latest high-profile Republican to try to add credibility to Mr. Gingrich’s surge in the polls.

“My gut tells me right now as I look at it that Gingrich might actually be the stronger candidate, because I think he can make a broader connection than Mitt Romney to those Reagan Democrats,” Mr. Giuliani said Monday night on CNN.

Saving for later ... :)

Anyone but Rudy McRomNewt.

Pee Wee Herman might be a better candidate than Romney.
That doesn’t make him a good candidate.

Well, ok then. Is he a changed man ? Perhaps you can think about that. I don’t know if he truly is, he seems like he has a different perspective.

So, IMHO, I file that away. Then I move on to the issues and go down the checklist.

Inside the beltway - check. Ok, maybe he’s changed. File that away.

Wants to “bring muslims into modernity”. Oops. Not going to work. This guy wants more muslims to come to America so they can go back to their home country and convince millions of people that want to kill us to change and become like us ? Hmmm.. not so smart.

Healthcare. Has a lot of grand ideas which are NOT simply: force the private sector to come up with it’s own solutions and get government out of the way and don’t have the government helping big medicine to make even more money since they don’t need help they need competition. check. This is scary. He has a lot of ideas in this area. They talk about parnterships, and patient-centered, and they go on and on. Big plans by politicians never work out well.

Other than that, if he’s elected, maybe things will work out ok. I don’t know. I am just so sick of politicians. And government - imposing “programs”. And running government schools. Everything is just more of the same. More mindless indoctrination. More government jobs. More debt. More laws taking away guns. More laws encouraging immorality. Which results in more immorality. More taxes. More laws against Christianity.

You will see the east coast progressive gun grabbing, cross dressing, gay marriage loving ex-mayor of sin city east embraced like Margaret Thatcher if they think it will advance newt's chances.

I used to be the biggest supporter of Gingrich, but I no longer trust him. It seems that he’ll take up whatever issue is the flavor of the day and then abandon it next week. I don’t know how he can call another candidate a flip flopper, when he reminds me of a big, fat fish flipping around in the bottom of a boat. I’d still take him over Obama, but I wouldn’t rest easy. (And neither should Callista.)

I found it very interesting.

"If they can treat their wives like that, how will they treat the country?"

They will ask you to overlook their treatment of you for the good of their political careers? I swear conservatives are suffering from Beaten Wife Syndrome.

I haven’t given up on Perry yet

Falame away

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, we know Rudy is wrong and misguided. Stop supporting Newt ASAP.

[libstripper]

Even if it’s focused on me, it’s still good for a laugh.

[libstripper]

You’ve given Newt the strongest, most valid defense that’s available to him for all of his political derelections. IMHO it’s enough to get me to support him vs. Romney, but not Perry.

Thanks LibStripper. You just gave me the idea. I wasn’t trying to give you a tough time.

Glad you enjoyed it.
