... if you want to learn WAY more about MORMONism...

Imagine a world with 4-5 SuperPacs funded by Soros.

Now imagine 4 more years of Obama.

Amen! GO NEWT!!!!!!

[trisham]

President Obama is such a genial man

Is he kidding?

Levin and Limbaugh have spent the better part of the last month extracting Santorum's foot from his mouth. Frankly I'm growing weary of it. The Republicans cannot go to battle with a candidate whose rhetorical screw-ups have to be cleaned up the following day(s) by conservative talk radio hosts.

Period. End of story.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I have been disappointed with that, very disappointed.

The Democrats are voting in these primaries and they are voting for Romney. Forget that propaganda about voting for Santorum. I am a registered Democrat of 30 years standing. I maintain that registration partly because it gives me access to what local Democrats think. A lot of them have reregistered as Republicans this year to vote for Romney just as they did in 2008 to vote for McCain. In 08 they knew that the kenyan was the nominee long before the MSM or the Republicans figured that out. This year there is no motivation to vote in their own primaries because the kenyan is already the nominee. Romney is the ideal Republican candidate for Democrats. Because he cannot believably distinguish his policies from those of the incumbent he has little chance to win the election and if he does win it there is no loss to the Democrat vision of America, just a hiatus while their policies are still being implemented, probably faster than they could do it, and he will lose the republican House in 2 years and the Democrats, perhaps the kenyan, will easily regain the presidency in 2016.

Read it in the mid 90s. Excellent Book. Here’s a link to Thomas Sowell on Charlie Rose explaining the premise:

He came to the correct conclusion, I'm glad to say. Go Newt!

" We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future.
Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism."

~Newt Gingrich

[arthurus]

Electable.
Unelectable.

[napscoordinator]

Wow. Even on pro-Newt thread, you can’t help yourself but to bash Santorum. You have a serious case of SDS. Sad reality but you have it bad. I have NEVER witness you boosting up Newt, it is always tearing down Santorum. I never saw anything like it.

[Parley Baer]

Great article. GO NEWT GO!

“Newt Gingrich is the only candidate still in the field who can clearly take on Barack Obama in one-on-one debate and cut through the Obama rhetoric and mystique with hard facts and plain logic.”

These “debates” are going to be rigged events with the moderators helping Obama, the crowd cheering Obama and booing the Republican and the commentators saying afterwords what a great job Obama did and what a bad job the the Republicans did.

The candidate must be able to connect with ordinary Americans and speak to their concerns. He must lay out a few strong principles and hit on them over and over like Reagan did. The candidate must also be able to take on the MSM and the constant attacks without becoming frustrated or distracted.

If a candidate can do these things against Obama he will win easily.

“Super Tewsday”

I’d go one step further.

Super Newtsday.

The fact that Gingrich is still standing is evidence against your assertion. Gingrich is no more an opportunist than Henry Clay, and looking back, I think that we might have avoided a civil war if Clay had won in 1844.

“Levin and Limbaugh have spent the better part of the last month extracting Santorum’s foot from his mouth”

What Rush, Hannity Levin and others have done is correct the many lies about Santorum that are constantly repeated in the MSM. This is the same thing that they do whenever the MSM spread false narratives about conservatives.

[donmeaker]

I figure Obamanation will just not debate Newt. He will find something else to do, say rearrange a sock drawer, or watch Israel kick Iran’s butt.

In a debate you have a big advantage if the moderator is on your side, and another big advantage if you lie. Obama will have those advantages, and has substantial ability to infuence word events.

[RobbyS]

I’d prefer Santorum. but would take Newt. He need to play on his” Mr. Angry”image as he did with this crack about being “cheerful.”

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You are factually wrong about that. Exit polls revealed that there were a documented number of Democrats that voted for Santorum in Michigan. In fact, over 9% of the voters at the polls were Democrats.

There is a concerted effort by the Democrats to disrupt the GOP primary this year and Michigan is where they would be able to make that happen.

And think again who they voted for........Santorum, NOT Romney. It's a simple proven fact. Even more disturbing is, every one of these Democrats are planning on voting for Obama in the General and believe that Santorum would be the easiest of all the candidates for Obama to win against.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

What ever, you get the message I didn't use spell check that time....big deal.

[Nateman]

I voted for Newt in Arizona yesterday. I’d do it again because he’s the best man still standing. Given the choice between mean old Newt or the continuation of the depression I think Newt will win.
