That’s fine, except Gingrich is certainly as much of a statist as Santorum ever was. Gingrich is still pushing government solutions to our problems.
Perry was the non-statist in the contest, but we rejected him because he said we were “heartless”. Now Gingrich says we are “inhumane”, but there’s nobody else left to go to, so we are stuck with Newt.
But some people don’t like to feel they are stuck, so they insist the Newt is the true conservative we have all been waiting for. Earlier today another freeper castigated me and others for “idolizing” Ronald Reagan, and insisted that Gingrich was more conservative than Reagan was.
That is the delusion of one who can’t accept the reality that we are all willing to compromise to stop Romney.
Newt is the next best thing.
Newt is the next best thing.
If we value somebody who can enter the arena of ideas and rhetoric, we must choose a communicator. Those who cannot stir passion articulately cannot advance our causes...and certainly cannot win.
Sure, 30% of the citizens of the USA would be a better office holder than each and every politician today. But that is not a choice we have.
While we are in a battle between good and evil, we have to take once piece of dirt at a time.
