I am looking at this election, as I look at all elections as a Constitutional conservative that favors small honest government. I am a fiscal conservative first and a social conservative second. So I like Paul. It is my belief that if we do not do something about the debt, and do it fast we will lose our standard of living and slide into Marxism. I would point out that we are 15+ trillion in debt, borrowing 43 cents of every dollar spent. You should read about what is happening in Greece right now. Our debt will be our ruin and only Paul seems to understand this.
Exactly. How can we claim to have any integrity if we choose a serial adulterer to defend marriage.
Give me a break.
So you infer That Texas mocks the teachings of Jesus Christ?
Salvation of the soul and leadership of a nation are two very different things.
It is sort of like lying about sex, everybody does it. You are defending the indefensible. Newt is a womanizer and unfaithful to his wedding vows. Having him as the poster boy for the defense of the institution of marriage is ludicrous. Who is next? Larry King?
Gingrich has already come out in support of the traditional defnition of marriage, and he has done so very well, not even getting derailed by the gays who show up.
His position is no different than the others on this issue. So far, even Obama agrees with that definition.
But aside from that, unless you yourself are planning on marrying Gingrich one of these days, there’s a whole lot of other issues that you should consider, such as the candidate’s policies on big government, taxes, SOPA, healthcare, oil drilling, defense...Gingrich has good policies for all of these and he can defend them.
Newt is the big government, inside the beltway guy who has fed at the public trough thru elective office and crony capitalism all his life. He is an influence peddler who is cashing in on his government contacts. Newt believes government has the solutions to all our problems.
Newt has supported the biggest expansion of the entitlement program since Medicare with his support of the prescription drug program (Medicare Part D) that represents an unfunded liability of $7.2 trillion. He supported the individual mandate. He was the "Green Conservative" who told Kerry that he believed in manmade global warming and that government should address it "urgently."
Newt supports amnesty and lies about it when confronted. His written position is far different from what he has been saying on the stump. Real conservatives support the Rule of Law and enforcing our existing laws. The don't reward lawbreakers with the object of their crime.
Newt has been on both sides of every major issue. He is a fraud and loose cannon. Now he is attacking Romney because he is a capitalist using the language of the Left. Newt supported Dede Scozzafava over a real conservative.
Newt has shown himself to be a disaster as a candidate. He has had a hard time raising money, failed to set up good grassroots organizations in the states failing to get on the ballot in VA and Missouri and almost missing out in Ohio. He finished 5th in NH. Being a good debater doesn't win elections, being organized and getting people to the polls does. He is also thin skinned and possesses a colossal ego. I don't he ever had an intention of really seeking the nomination, but rather, to use his candidacy to get into the spotlight, exhibit his outsized intelligence, and sell books. He is not in this for the long haul. He will drop out after FL.
If Newt is the answer to Mitt, then Obama’s 2nd tern is assured. Either would lose to Obama — of course anyone might lose to him anyway....
So far he’s yet to beat Santorum anywhere. Seems to me it’s Newt who’s weak.
Have you seen the splits? Head to head Santorum dominates Romney.
I am stocking up.
He’s not only crazy, He’s evil.
Repentence would mean returning to his first wife. Has Newt done this? No.
Ergo, he’s not ‘repentent’. Repentent means turning AWAY from sins, and going back to where you should be.
He’s not only crazy, he’s evil.
Well said. We are gonna get slaughtered if we choose Newt.
“Repentence would mean returning to his first wife.” In your usual deceitful style you’ve twisted the truth to fit your sick narrative. I’ll bet it really tics you off that God doesn’t do what you demand. God’s Grace must really get under your self-righteous craw. It must really fry your little brain that Bathsheba and David are in the line of ancestry for The Lord Jesus Christ. And that prostitute in Jericho as an ancestor, well, I mean ... maybe you can pursuade God to go back and strike Kaleb down, eh?
You mean the teacher who started an affair with him when he was her high school student?
Ron Paul is aligned with George Soros.
Newt? Pro family and Pro marriage?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Now this made me laugh out loud.
Newt is a serial adulterer who cheats on the people who should matter most in his life.
The guy is a slime ball.
Keep watching, IMO Santorum will sink like a stone.
It’s nice to dream. Have fun.
Mormans are a cult and anyone that adds to the Bible or takes away from the Bible, and writes their own version of the Bible is mocking Jesus Christ. All of this will be exposed in due time, especially if the liberal Romney buys the GOP nomination.
As is typical with anyone that posts against Newt you shade the true or flat out lie. Newt’s record on the 2nd Amendment is stellar:
‘Newt is a recipient of the National Rifle Association’s Defender of the Second Amendment Award. His legislative voting record was consistently scored by the NRA as either an A or A+ all 20 years that he served in Congress.’
You may not like the man for whatever reason but don’t lie about him.
