all off subject. Not off subject at all. Team Romney and the GOP-E gambled that they could win without Conservatives and Libertarians.
They lost that "etch-a-sketch" gamble spectacularly, and Newt's document here reflects a complete lack of understanding of that fact. The RNC doesn't hold the base anymore. Period.

Sadly, voter fraud is something you can only talk about behind closed doors. As much as I’d like a national discussion, the hysteria and calls of ‘prove it’ by the Dems and their media jackboots will kill it.
I’m not necessarily against that idea. Being a sneaky bastard who likes to sneak up behind Dems and stab them in the eye, I’d rather not telegraph our intentions. Let’s win the state legislatures and governorships in ‘14 and get it implemented for ‘16. Along with limiting the public unions.
I am all for a diffused strategy of encirclement v. the head on assault. Winning the states is absolutely necessary for ‘14.

Was never a fan of Romney. Barely able to hold my nose and vote for him against Romney. Would’ve loved to see Gingrich win the nomination instead.

Settle down Francis...I never said anything about gay marriage.

It’s a decent point, I’ll have to think about it. I’m actually a relatively rare breed that in general supports relatively strong environmental protection, but believes that “climate change” hysteria is a hoax. So, for me, it’s sort of the opposite: expose climate change for the fraud that it is, but then move on to discussions about what we can do to preserve and enhance our natural environment.
To: Timber Rattler
Well that is not exactly what Newt said, he gave a far more detailed reasoning and explanation to the problem of republicans vs gay marriage. As usual, he is right.

I’d disagree that Democrats are more ideologically united. You won’t find Democrats out there willing to defend socialsim, or even the welfare state, on anything like the level that Republicans are willing to defend capitalism, free markets and traditional values. You and I would probably agree that it would be nice to every now and then field a Presidential candidate willing to mount a full-throated defense of them, but I would maintain that the GOP is a much more ideologically united party than the Democrats; the Democrats are primarily united by identity politics.

Sure I do. Yeah,sure you do.

Denial? Can you read TR? Newt pointed out one very important thing and that is the fact that most Americans have family, friends, fellow employees who are gay. It doesn’t mean he is supports gay marriage, it means the republicans are facing an uphill battle in fighting gay marriage because of the mainstream acceptance.

We get it. Christmas day; you come on Newt threads right off the start with this rudeness. You literally have it out for the man. Most of everything Newt shared is true and helpful. Stay with the message. He didn't promote gay marriage. I am totally against it. I didn't heard that. He says marriage is between one man, one woman. What part of that is hard to follow. He only said something that many do not want to accept that there's too many people accepting that lifestyle. How can you undo their thinking. They have been conditioned with a society without God. And some people think it's your body, your mind, your life so they have the freedom to do as they choose, I guess is where it may come back to as this thinking. Where did that come from? But the GOP has to accept, this is not a path to build their party. Accept civil unions, not GM, don't promote it at all. They do that and they are done. Their base is on life support with just a few issues. Gay marriage and gun control which has moved ahead of borders for right now. They do something dumb with anti traditional values, they are asking for trouble. It looks like the man is trying to help the problem. Wait to see what happens and hope something positive comes vs a negative outlook.

Newt pointed out one very important thing and that is the fact that most Americans have family, friends, fellow employees who are gay. Denial. Next comes anger. And then bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance.

I have no use for charlatans. And it never ceases to amaze me how some people around here are still clinging to his every word, even when he is clearly pushing a "party first" agenda now.
Are you "party first?"
