Yes and that was a huge slam on Romney and his State and the news media bias. Loved it and heard it live!
Go Newt!!!
This was huge.
I was waivering between Newt and Santorum and this really won me over.
Go Newt!
Best line of the night and I’m not a Newt guy. Sadly for Newt it probably won’t gain him as much in NH as it would in SC or would have in IA. And even though it was the best line of the night it may be less recalled than Perry’s latest case foot in mouth disease. Methinks Perry is out of feet and munching on other parts here. His staff must be frantic, afraid he won’t last long enough for them to consume his stash.
Thanks for posting this video...I’ve been looking for it!
Good on Newt!
Newt always kills in these exhibitions. Sorry I can’t call them debates.
Hope he gets some good numbers out of this one.
NO ONE is nearly as articulate or passionate about this as Newt. It isn’t the only reason I support him, but it’s a biggie.
It was nice to hear Mitt faintly echoing what Newt said, though I doubt Mitt would have ever come up with it on his own (which is part of why I am not happy about the idea of Mitt taking the nomination).
I don’t know folks? This is pretty amazing. That was the most articulate and powerful defenses of Christianity in a public political forum that I think I have heard in all my 54 years. Who else talks like this??? He doesn’t just “stand” for conservative values, he “articulates” them with great clarity! Come on Newt bashers . . . just take a gander at this display. Do we not want this kind of argument being made EVERY DAY??
Newt hit that one out of park!
This should be moved to HEADLINE NEWS!!!
Awesome video.
Hope it goes viral.

There is not a single, solitary thing stopping any person who considers themselves a conservative from voting for Newt or Rick Santorum, both very conservative men. No one is holding a gun to any voter's head to force them to mark their ballot for Romney or anyone else.
Candidates self-select. They decide for themselves whether or not to step into the ring we call elective politics. Numerous potential GOP candidates decided not to run. These are the people who stepped up. Like all human beings, they each have their flaws and their strengths, but if we reject them all we will have nothing. Obama wins in a cakewalk.
Right here on FR, a bastion of very conservative politics, every single Republican candidate and potential candidate has had his or her detractors. To hear some people tell it, there is not a single worthy Republican in the country. To some, every Republican is a "RINO," and that's utterly shallow, moronic thinking.
Conservatives do not win consistently and do not advance their agenda for one reason, and one reason only. They ALWAYS make desire for an impossible perfection the enemy of the good. ALWAYS. Secondarily, they have no patience for incremental change which, in a nation of 300+ million, is the only sure way to political success. In other words, they have no patience for governing, but they will sit on the sidelines and carp, bitch and moan about what other people are trying to do.
Well, while conservatives are sitting around whining, at least the people on that stage tonight put themselves into the arena. They stepped up. And there is nothing stopping conservatives from rallying to at least one of them except stupid insistence on unattainable perfection. Just pick one and go for it. And while you're at it, bear this in mind:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
NEWT! NEWT! NEWT!
I’m surprized that George Stephanopolis didn’t stop the debate, call the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and complain thAt by mentioning any religion but Islime.
We need a fighter and a leader who is capable of communicating conservatism to motivate the electorate. Newt combines these two qualities in a way that is light years ahead of Perry or Santorum.
Sad that the so called Christian leaders in this country have been sitting back and taking it without a wimper all these years
It is not only in the MSM but in the entertainment industry
TV and the Movies
'Newt Slams Media For Ignoring Anti-Christian Bigotry'Newt steals the ball ... he drives to the hoop ... he shoots ... he SCORES!
Newt puts them in their place better than anyone.
No MSM, p.c. pandering for him.
Though I did like Perry's 'Gun Range' answer too.
That prolly made all those (cough-bs) 'moderators', poop their pants.
(Oh noees, Guuuuns! Maybe he's packing heat now? Mommy mommy, help me!!)
Newt’s comments may not have won him the nomination but they won Republicans the election. Bigotry against Catholics is rampant in the gay community and Obama is MIA. Gay marriage is a suicide pill for Democrats.
He stood up for us.
