If and when Newt is no longer in it, I’m 100% for him.

Holy Cow...I can’t believe Michelle Bachmann said nice things about anyone but Romney. She’ll never be Romney’s VP now.

Please, all of you, email, phone or talk to all your family members, friends, co-workers and convince them to vote for Newt on Super Tuesday. IT IS VITAL to defeat Romney and open for Newt the way to the nomination. All of Santorum’s fans should understand that THIS is the thing to do NOW.
The time is running short; the conservatives must unite, if you don’t want the GOP establishment “moderate” poodle get the nomination and lose next November, just like his alter-ego Bob Dole and John McCain did.

Thank you, CW!

While I am yelling (#17) you remain the cool, confident Marine that you are.

It takes all kinds.

Newt is polling 15% in Ohio. He hasn’t risen at all. Romney has.

I guess Newt could be President of Georgia or SC.

Sometimes name recognition works as long as it is good or carries no importance.

If it isn’t all very positive, it hurts.

Most likely the best we are going to get out of this is for both to stay in to make Mitt and the GOP-e miserable.

That part is working.

Thanks, onyx, for posting the full ping list.
People must wake up. Next Tuesday is a decisive moment.

I’m absolutely convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him running back to his Chicago slime pit with his tail between his legs. Newt has plenty of DC experience as Speaker, executive ability from his many enterprises, and a silver tongue that’s razor sharp! He’s fast on his feet, delivers it straight up with no hemming and hawing, and is often witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive and as we’ve seen recently, Newt is able to put into words what the vast majority of Americans really believe. His fevered brain also has plenty of ideas for making government work better for taxpayers. Is Newt pure as new driven snow? No - none of the presidential candidates are in line for sainthood. Whatever Newt’s “baggage”, it pales next to Obama’s habitual lying and outright corruption - and unlike Obama, Newt is 100% American! Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: send him to DC and he’ll “Get ‘er done” for all of us. Newt has “Been there, done that! Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon!

I am damn mad at what Obama and his bootlickers have stolen from us - you should be too - and I want someone to represent me! Newt Gingrich is that man! Sic ‘im, Newt!

Are you in Ohio?
If yes, rise the troops for Newt! :)

Not hard to do. The country would be halfway to solving all our problems if we just rolled back everything Obama’s done.

Marguerite, I do, everynight and everytime a new video is posted.

I have changed minds, and got some that never voted much to listen and get behind NEWT.

One is in WA., and I know this girl spreads the word as well, she and her husband are that enthused about NEWT. She said her husband can't get enough of listening to him.

They live way out, and don't have cable, so they can't get all his live talks or debates. I have to send them to her. Her sis in law is a nun, so I hope she passes NEWT onto her. They are allowed to vote aren't they?

I proudly wear my NEWT button everywhere. GO NEWT save America, and GOD BLESS.

Alas, my American friends are either for Newt already, in states where he hasn’t a prayer Tuesday, or far Left enough that they make Ms. Pelosi look sane.

One other thing though. Go to newt.org, sign up and make some calls. Robocalls are boring. A real live person on the other end of the line makes all the difference to people.

There is a script, if you get nervous about it. Some people are rude - try not to call during dinner, for best results and spend 3 minutes checking what games are on TV and when for where you are calling! Hoo boy - I learned THAT one the hard way! Learned about 7 new curses too.

After a few calls you relax. Ad-lib a bit, but always always always use actual facts.

If you can - and a lot of people simply can’t in this economy - try to call the list the furthest away from your own state. It makes your accent striking enough that people pause and listen. It is your foot in the door as it were.

My friend in WA, I am trying to get her to go to a caucus this SAT. She’s never been very active in politics, told her to find one and go, nothing to fear. Hope she will.

The Crux of the Matter: A Newtian Economic Manifesto

Newt Gingrich is the only one who has it right. What we need to do is not prop up the old unsustainable Wall Street - Washington D.C. axis. Nor do we need massive government social programs to prop up workers. Neither is free market. Neither will work. What we need to do to fix the economy is to support new businesses and help small businesses expand. Newt has the boldest proposal, per the Wall Street Journal, to jump start the economy. He would bring the capital gains rate down to 0%, and reduce taxes on everyone. As he points out, it is not “revenue neutral” in the short run. But in the long run, the increased revenues from his plan more than make up for any tax cuts, as they did in the 90’s.

With the capital gains rate reduced to 0, capital would pour into the marketplace. This would allow many new business to get started and small businesses to expand. As small business creates 70% of the jobs in America, unemployment would fall immediately. Main Street, not Wall Street, drives the economy. Economic activity would pick up as people got back to work, and our real wealth, GDP, would sky-rocket. Moreover, tax revenues would increase dramatically, allowing us to get rid of deficits and balance the budget.

Millions of new workers would pay into social security. Thousands of new businesses would pay taxes. And hundreds of millions of new customers would pay sales taxes. People would have jobs, which would give them money to spend, which would profit businesses and shareholders who put up the capital, while revenues would increase to the government. This vibrant economy would benefit everyone. It would spiral upward. It is a win win.

And then there are Newt’s plans for energy development which could give us untold riches just by being good stewards of the land and using our God-given resources. Look at North Dakota right now. Think Dubai. Or take his plan to write off all new equipment purchased in a year, which would instantly give us the best equipped workforce in the nation. The sky is the limit as to what we can accomplish if we quit regulating things and killing them, and start innovating and producing them.

So why do the other candidates lack the foresight, and vision to implement such bold plans? Because they are tied down to the old special interests. Santorum sold out to K Street a long time ago, and would be controlled by big labor. Romney would of course represent the wealthy Wall Street corporations that have contributed so much to his campaign already. Only Newt would represent we the people rather than the special interests and do what is best for the nation as a whole. This election will be won or lost on the economy, which is why Newt is the only candidate with the rock solid economic chops to beat Obama come November.

Romney and Santorum are watered down conservatives compared to Newt. Not a candidate running has accomplished as much and I mean in historical proportions as "Speaker Gingrich," Looking at the folks supporting Newt in comparison to the ones behind Romney or Santorum says it all. For me it is Newt or noone.

I voted for Bush (he was way too moderate for me) and voted for McCain and we know he is a jerk. I refuse to cave again...the Tea Party folks worked too hard and too long to get rid of the likes of Romney and he may be our candidate?..hell NO!

I won't give up fighting for the magnificient Speaker of the House until the end! God help America.

Thanks for all your hard work, Marguerite. But you must tell us how a French woman became so willing to fight for America’s freedom. You must have an interesting story.

It's HIGH TIME all the conservative voters unite behind Newt Gingrich to beat the moderate-leaning-progressive Romney

Where is Newt's path to victory?

No poll is showing that to be likely possibility. Voting for Newt in Ohio is merely a vote for Romney. Santorum has a lead in Tennessee and Oklahoma that looks insurmountable.

Gingrich is only ahead in his own home state.

If looks like it Santorum or Romney. I'll gladly take Santorum in that scenario.

“I do, everynight and everytime a new video is posted

GREAT!

Here’s another powerful video:

Fred Thompson endorsed Newt Gingrich for president. “We don’t need to just manage the way Washington works,” Thompson says in the video, “We need to fundamentally change Washington. We need someone who has the courage and ability to communicate the truth to the American people. I believe that person is Newt Gingrich. And that is why I strongly support him.”
