Newt Gingrich apparently won Monday night’s debate on Fox News, but likely this is a case of a last-second touchdown when you are down by two touchdowns. Seth Leibsohn of National Review Online gave the night to Newt: “When he is right, he is great. The ongoing problem is when he is wrong. But tonight he was right — about a lot, and said it better than anyone.”
Newt showed his Tea Party side:
I think it’s very important for us to look at job creation. As a young member of Congress, I worked with President Ronald Reagan. We passed an economic growth package. We created 16 million jobs. The American people within a framework that Reagan had established created 16 million jobs.
As speaker I came back — working with President Bill Clinton, we passed a very Reagan-like program, less regulation, lower taxes. Unemployment dropped to 4.2 percent. We created 11 million jobs. Now, those are real numbers that people can verify out in the open.
And I like that when asked about his plan for Social Security he brought back.
When Bush presented it 7 years ago, the press and the Democrats (and too many Republicans) blasted it because it would divert money from Social Security — now we are diverting three times as much and calling it a “payroll tax cut.”
Anyway, From Newt:
Well, it is, as a historian, a fact-based model that has Galveston, Texas, and the entire country of Chile as testing grounds. Chile has done this. Jose Pinera’s glad to talk about it, the guy who created it, they have done it for over 30 years.

lol, obviously if a FReeper is willing to be flamed, they are really, really, really serious about their comment, so therefore, we must take them seriously......... I think I read that somewhere ;-) #withNewt
Deep man.
Newt referred to Ryan’s plan as “right wing social engineering.’
Newt supported mandates before Romney.
Newt sat with Queen Nancy in support of global warming.
Newt was on Freddie’s payroll.
And the list goes on.
Romney is not my first choice but I do prefer Romney over Newt.
If Newt would do us all a favor and drop out, maybe a real conservative could emerge.
“Actually Juan was pretty humble in his defeat.”
It’s funny that FOX did not pan back to Juan’s face when Newt received a standing ovation.
Juan Williams is just the kind of typical NPR elitist snob type that Newt was talking about.
Once Newt discarded the idea of trusting the media (to report the truth), I think he started to do better. The Pelosi incident, the Ryan comments, global warming nonsense were all designed to get some love from the media. It failed.
Same has to go for whomever the nominee is. The media is not you friend. Don’t bother trying to sugarcoat how you feel because they’ll report what they want anyway.
Santorum is my third and final choice but I don’t think the GOP really has any intent of taking the white house anyway.
Looking back, I am not entirely sure that he didn't tee up that ball for Newt. After all, he KNOWS Newt, and he knows he isn't PC. Hmmmm.
Rombot,
Promoting Willard over Newt makes you appear clueless. Do some homework please.
I don’t agree with the assessment of Juan being the typical NPR elitist snob.
I think Juan grew up in a victimhood culture, then went to work amongst liberals and thought that that was how the world “was”.
From what I can tell, he’s open to the truth, and it actually has some affect on him when it smacks him upside the head.
But, indeed, it is hard to say to oneself, especially at his age - “the way I’ve viewed the world is a total lie”.

Gingrich, Rivals Hit Romney Hard in GOP Debate

With only a handful of days to go before the do-or-die South Carolina primary, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared to score big points in Monday night’s two-hour Republican debate, according to an analysis by Fox News, which hosted the event.
Asked by Fox’s Sean Hannity who won, author and political analyst Dick Morris proclaimed “Newt, Newt, Newt” the winner. “He was always one good debate performance away from getting back in this race and boy he had it tonight,” said Morris.
More importantly, Gingrich’s response to questions on the economy, foreign policy, and race in particular appeared to resonate well with the national viewing audience, who were invited to assess whether they felt candidates had answered questions — or attempted to dodge them — using the Twitter social media website to register their responses.
With respect to the economy, Fox’s John Roberts reported that most people felt Gingrich had answered the questions while Romney was thought to be dodging them. The other candidates all gave fairly good — or at least satisfactory — responses.
“As we’re looking at foreign policy. Newt Gingrich did very well on foreign policy. Mitt Romney, as you can see, below the line,” explained Roberts, adding, “I’ve got to tell you, he spent most of the night below the line.”

Good reply. I agree.
Romney. Crony Captialist, Tarp loving, bailout loving, hands out begging from the taxpayer CAPTIALIST.
Flame on bro.....
Wellllll ........ we're waiting!
Dick Morris? Yikes! Thanks for bursting my bubble.
Dick Morris? Yikes! Thanks for bursting my bubble.
I hate Dick Morris. I think that he's a slimy little weasel.
That being said, he's a well-connected, in-tune, slimy little weasel, who's right more often than not. I hope that he's right this time.
This author nails the debate performances. Mittens had train wreck. Two best performances Newt and Perry.
Perry needs to join Newt and fight the GOP establishment.

One of my biggest issues with Newt (who’s clearly the smartest guy on that stage) is his mariachi impression - “I, I I I...”. His arrogance has been his downfall before, and it doesn’t appear to have waned at all. That can be fatal.
No argument here.
Actually he is rather large as a matter of fact....
