Don’t listen to the crap on this board about Newt.

latest Iowa Caucus Poll. Gingrich 32%!!! Romney 19% Cain 13%

Keep something in mind. Whenever you hear Gingrich talk he continually goes back to the Constitution and teaches us through easy to follow examples where this country’s gone wrong and how we can get back on track. Think about that. No other candidate is using the Constitution as their template. That should tell you how serious this guy really is.

Why don’t some of you “conservatives” take the time and research Newt’s CONSERVATIVE accomplishments while serving the government? I know you have computers, so google Gingrich and what he achieved instead of crying about failed marriages, global warmning and other vague accuasations. He is a serious candidate, not someone vying for a beauty pageant. This nation is in real trouble and we need someone who can navigate the dangerous waters.

Newt lugs more baggage than would be allowed in the undercarriage of a 747. He is so yesterday. Iowans have a way of picking a loser for the rest of us.

The details are pretty easy to get, he was sleeping with wife #2 before even seeking divorce from #1, and repeated the setup with #3. Then there’s the hilarity of saying the cheating happened because of his love of country (no really).

And as for connection with his ability to serve, he’s proven he can’t keep an oath. I’m not willing to bet he’ll keep the oath of office better than the oath of marriage.

What a filthy comment. And you’re worried about how Newt thinks?

Newt has betrayed conservatives as often as he has betrayed his wives.

He's stuck it to us more often than he has to his mistresses. And that's quite often, indeed.

I'll take a man who knows how to surround himself with the right people that I CAN TRUST

Wasn't he asked to leave as Speaker of the House? He must have been surrounded by the right people.

I wonder if some of you are for real. While I loath adultery, I also love the blessing of repentance for ALL. Both Thomas Jefferson & Alexander Hamilton were known adulterers. They were still great leaders of our nation.

Newt has asked for forgiveness from those that matter. His family seems to have put the matter to rest. It must take some of you a long time each day to climb on those high horses you ride on.

Well we all know where Newt was then. He was on a coach with Nancy Pelosi flacking the global warming hoax.

That's fracking and was this the coach?

I always thought that K was such a nice guy, but you never know about coaches.

He had become a lightening rod for the left, somewhat similar to Bush but even worse. And just why was he a lightening rod? Because of his CONSERVATIVE agenda & the fact he had kicked their butts so bad.

I couldn't care less about newts personal baggage. Its his liberal political baggage that is his major problem... Old finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing and thats the direction he heads for...Newt has always been about Newt.

Newts personal baggage is of concern only to those involved. I have nothing to forgive him for in that area, he didn't hurt me. Political baggage, no forgiveness from me, he's a hypocrit....

Deatails easy to get? What a joke, sure it easy to get but is it the truth? Gail Sheehy (a liberal man-hating lying journalist) and Vanity Fair along with his second wife, during their separation flamed Gingrich every chance they had, because it propped Clinton up. Just to set the record straight, here is the exact quote Gingrich made regarding his second marriage. It is a far cry from “I cheated because of my love of country.” The operative phrase here is (WORKED FAR TOO HARD)

“There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate,” Gingrich said.

My fear is that people here fooled by Newt, will also be fooled by Romney.....Romney will start talking like a Tea-Partier, bank on it. Don’t fall for it.

I’ll take a man who knows how to surround himself with the right people that I CAN TRUST vs a smart guy who has all the answers and will screw me as soon as I turn around.
..........................................................

Name one of these guys that you trust to surround themselves with good people.

When Cain starts talking, I hold my breath that he will speak with authority.

When Perry starts talking, I hold my breath that he will know the answer to the question.

When Bachman starts talking, I tune her out because I know she will find the part of the question she disagrees with and then will let us know that she has already introduced legislation to resolve it.

When Huntsman or Santorum start talking, I tune them out because neither has the authoritative voice that tells me I need to listen to them.

When Ron Paul starts talking, I smile because he is such fun.

When Newt Gingrich starts talking, I sit back and listen. Intently.

Right now - that’s the field. Newt has said that if he’s elected president, the economy will have taken a giant step toward recovery by the end of his first day in office and that every unelected czar will be out of a job.

You’re right. We’re hungering for someone to get us going in the right direction. Gingrich may not be Patton, but his talk is the kind of talk I want to hear.

Newt is the desperation candidate. Newt is the candidate you vote for and hope he can beat Obozo that won’t sell you out.

Newt has such a giant ego that he will compromise every time.

You won’t know what hit you.

Oh well....

Fooled by Newt? Is that what you think when you watch Newt address the perils we face? ... Or have you settled in to ignore listening to him so you can feel good about attacking him for your candidate. And whom might that be, BTW, which of the candidates is your perfect paragon of leadership?

My thoroughly vetted, thoroughbred with the stellar track record and 26,000+ of her emails searched and published didn’t run, which left me without a candidate and also emotionally detached from this primary season.

I got the chance to personally meet and speak with five of our candidates at the GOP Debate in Tampa, FL in September. All were extremely nice to me and I think Michele Bachmann took the most time talking to me. I love the photo of the two of us together too.

The others I met were Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Mitt Romney.

Like you said, our top tier elected not to run. I am fine with Newt stopping Romney. Count me ALL IN FOR NEWT if our bedrock conservatives continue to fail, -— to win nomination, but not one vote has been cast.

Mr. Speaker has a serious plan at his website and we can pray he holds firm and stays the course.

I will not sit out or vote third party. If Romney is the nominee, I will vote for my thoroughbred via write-in, and TEA Party conservative all the way down the remainder of my ballot.
