Gingrich is much preferable over Romney. Or Ron Paul.
I think our question is whether you are willing to take a chainsaw to government, not whether you support larger government.
How many candidates we got that have done this?
They aren’t talking about the weather…
We must draft, nominate and elect Sarah Palin president in the most crushing tidal wave of enthusiastic good judgment ever seen in the history of this nation. With that one bold move we will accomplish the dual goals of seeing America led by the greatest natural born leader in our generation, even as we witness the final implosion and last agonized shrieks of our endlessly lying extreme left loonies. Their entire movement, from the fabricated attacks on Bush beginning with ‘Blood For Oil’ to the crammed-down-our-gullets lies of Obamacare and the Shovel Ready Stimulus, have been nothing but one vile deceit heaped upon another. Such an absolute inability to deal in the truth or to face the facts of our situation and its solutions only proves that there is simply no place at the grown-ups’ table for these diseased sputa. Good riddance to rubes and bad rubbish. Time to usher in the American Renaissance, carried in on the invigoratingly freshening breeze of President Sarah Palin.

“his past support for a mandate had been consistent with what other conservatives had believed at the time”
The man has his own definition of what conservatism is.
Lib columnist Dana Milbank thinks Newt is just fine and dandy:
Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.
Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!
Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

Not good enough. Even Reagan only reduced the rate of growth of the federal government. Today it is 1/3rd to 1/2 too large, so must be drastically reduced, both in size and in scope.
Reduction in size can only be accomplished if the congress agrees to take away job protection from government service workers, when firing an entire department at a time.
This means that layoffs can only be done a department at a time, to insure that future presidents won’t use it for anti-patronage purposes, eliminating members of the political opposition that have government jobs.
Reduction in scope is a different affair. The POTUS can issue a directive to end an enormous number of regulations, in a very systematic way.
But reduction in scope also means a grand reduction in the US tax code. Not easy. But with public input from accountants across the US, a vast amount of onerous tax regulation can be pitched.
Even a popular POTUS with a friendly congress will have to do this almost immediately on taking office, because otherwise the forces of big government will short circuit the process.
However, the stimulus to the economy of slashing federal expenses will be enormous, and could very well wrench us out of the slow motion economic collapse the western world is enjoying right now.
I just want a President that will cut the number of federal employees and the total budget by 30%.
Well, I'm heartened. When America desperately needs Big Government rolled back, Newt promises he won't push even Bigger Government, i.e., status quo .... if you can believe him.
Out of this morass ... Sarah ... please come back.
We can trust Newt as much as the first two wives could.
“Gingrich . . . stood by his recent proposals to allow some families of undocumented workers to remain in the country.”
Then I stand by my proposal not to vote for you.
You’re welcome to your position, Neut, and I’m welcome to mine.
