And Newt would get that authority from — whom? Where?

Why is Newt saying this?

Newt did not say anything about our military taking Assad out.

Bout time.

The Middle East isn’t going away. Couple an aggressive American Energy Export Plan with a message to the ME that we intend to protect our interests, including Israel, and you’ll see some of the crap over there start to roll back.

Whether we like it or not, a nuclear Iran cannot be allowed to happen. Before Obama, this doctrine was globally accepted. It was above questioning.

While Obama was out kissing the rings of guys like Chavez and lowering his handicap (that would be GREAT information to have for a campaign - how much has Obama lowered his handicap from the time he took office to today), Iran is close to a nuke and has the delivery platform.

If all this does is signal to other nations that it better get its act together before another ‘Reagan’ type shows up, then I’m fine with it.

By all MEANS we’d be looking to REPLACE Assad. Look at how the ‘Arab Spring’ went. Ronnie Milsap could see that the regimes replacing the vacuums left in the ME were going to cause more problems than they solved.

Syria will always be a problem as long as we allow Iran to manipulate it, and arm terrorist organizations through it, with it’s help.

Assad is bad. The follow-up to Assad will be bad.

Fix Iran, or don’t waste your time.

LOL... Give it up, your guy Romney and/or Obama are going to lose.

Hey, how did that campaign for Cain work out for you?

President Newt Gingrich... get used to it, it’s going to happen.

You know better than that, Gator. I was with Palin all the way until she told Mark Levin that she wasn't running.

I never was a Cain supporter, so you're off base here.

Before we get rid of these “bad” dictators, we need to know if the Muslim Brotherhood is better, because that is what we will get instead.

“I never was a Cain supporter, so you’re off base here.”

Perhaps I guessed wrong because of all of your negativism. You know I was a Palin supporter too, but that is over.

It would sure be a good thing if you were to drop all the negative junk... Newt sure isn’t Palin, but he would beat the heck out of electing Romney and/or Obama for another 4 years.

Obama’s War on America must be stopped at all costs and Newt can do that.

When it comes to getting rid of Obama, failure is not an option.

Go Newt Go.......

I know that, more than you know.

I have NO use for the GOP-E or any of its members, especially Romney, Newt, Huntsman, and Perry.

And this is why...

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

As far as "negativity" goes, all I'm doing is pointing out their well-known records and what has previously been posted and commented on at FR.

It was just six short months ago when Newt was the laughing stock of FR because of his RINO ways and backstabbing of Conservatives. Now, he's apparently the cat's meow of Conservatism.

Sorry, but I'm not drinking that kool-aid.

“......more than you know.” I wonder what that means?

“Now, he’s apparently the cat’s meow of Conservatism.”

Actually, that’s not the case. It’s more of a case of reality.

If Obama wins, we don’t just lose an election, WE LOSE OUR COUNTRY.

When the dust settles, we will have two choices for the nominee, Romney or Newt. I’ll take Newt.

The voting begins in just a little over 3 weeks..... the single digit folks aren’t going to climb to the top at this point.

Oh well, you do what you want, you vote for who you want..... I will vote for the survival of my country.

BTW.... I happen to like the sugarless Kool-Aid.... both red and grape.
