Which is why Mitt Romney will not win the nomination. The sooner people here realize that, the sooner we can get down to the business of selecting a conservative candidate. As long as that Mitt-fear dominates the discussion, we will end up doing something really stupid such as nominating a progressive like Newt Gingrich. Then we will be wondering what went wrong when we get saddled with GingrichCare.
Newt has a higher ACU conservative rating than Santorum. He is not a “progressive” in any way, shape or form. No one other than Newt has been more successful at promoting conservatism in America since Ronald Reagan.
Newt’s showing in the polls has nothing to do with people being afraid of Mitt Romney. It has everything to do with him articulating the conservative message in the debates better than everyone else and having a track record of being conservative to back it up.
Newt’s health care proposal is up on Newt.org. Please discuss it on the merits with specifics and avoid the random, baseless fear-mongering.
A “progressive” is a liberal. Newt Gingrich IS NOT LIBERAL.
