Was that Mitch Daniels? I thought is was Tim Pawlenty or maybe Evan Bye. I get the milk toast “moderates” all mixed up.
As the song goes “It’s better to burn out than fade away” I support NEWT purely because he is the only one willing to oratorically tear Obama limb from limb.
Newt’s rhetoric is entertaining and due, however you need more then rhetoric to be a President. My fear with Newt are founded in his past
1) Thin skin which causes him to get defensive or suck up to press/libs
2) He lost the House Republicans support after a couple years and don’t say it was the RINO’s there were plenty of true conservative Reps that said enough
3) His class warfare rhetoric on Romney is straight from Obama and the Dems!
4) FDR is one of his favorite Presidents and at times his stands sound more big government.
I would still vote for Newt but it wouldn’t be because he is the poster child of a great candidate!. I would much rather take somebody who walks the walk (and I am talking personal character as well, face it Newt is very flawed there) then someone who can give loud rhetoric. Every one forgets, Reagan challenged the press and his opponents, but he didn’t do it snarling the way Newt does.
