Actually, Newt was an early supporter of Medicare Advantage plans, a free market alternative to traditional Medicare.

Democrats choose their candidate on the basis of who will do the most to increase the size and scope of government. Republicans try to pick the person who will increase government the least. In either case we end up with bigger government. No wonder we are on the brink of collapse.

I’m not really sold on Newt, but it is so much to watch the establishment types freak out over Newt. They are determined to steer us to Dole, er, I mean McCain, er, I mean Mitt.

I don’t trust either of them...Newt makes my skin crawl. He’s just another DC connected, dorky oldtimer. The GOP rank and file is ticking me off!

I’ll have to vote for Romney over Newt if it comes down to it.

Indeed, it’s not clear what would be worse for the cause of entitlement reform: Newt’s losing to Obama or Newt’s beating him.

Hmmmmm...The Speaker that pushed through welfare reform or the President that gave us Obamacare? Who would be better to reform entitlements?

Gingrich is the worst of the GOP candidates. Very flawed character-wise and personality-wise. He is obviously unelectable.

But many are drinking the koolaid. Watch a wipe out worse than McCain in ‘08.

Yup. Newt could have stopped after saying he would eliminate the EPA but he then said he would replace it with another federal agency called the environmental solutions agency.

*sigh*

What is the difference between Newt advocating for forced participation in a national health care system when he was Speaker of the House...

...and Freepers trying to force Tea Party members into voting for Newt because that is supposedly the Republican thing to do?

I’m not sold on Newt either. I’m going to vote Perry because at this point I think he is conservatives only hope. I wish Sarah would have run.

Newt is the most intelligent, most articulate, knowledgeable candidate with deep understanding of American history.

Articulate, intelligent people feel threatening to the TV educated voters, making them feel inadequate.
