Sorry for the private FReepmail... I am not posting publicly for awhile. Santorum would also weaken the Second Amendment and he lied in the last debate about gun locks, guns shows and the NRA.
LLS
He does NOT support SOPA and you know it. He supported Specter so good guys like Alito could get confirmed. I don’t believe that Toomey would have won in ‘04, but I voted for him in the primary, and wrote him in in the general. I didn’t agree with Rick at the time, but Specter did keep his word on the SCOTUS nomination, and Santorum suffered in Pa. You may hold that against him forever, but Gingrich campaigned for Dede Scuzzbucket in NY. She is also a radical leftist who became a Democrat.
Do you remember also that Gingrich supports statehood for Puerto Rico?
What does SOPA/PIPA have anything to do with being pro life? Which Rick Santorum certainly is
No, I don't let self promoting amateurs like Santorum tell me what to think of them, their record and actions have already illustrated who they are. And Santorum is not even close to what he is trying to convince people he is.
For your information the reason Santorum endorsed Specter over Toomey was because in 2005 and 2006 Specter, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, shepherded the confirmations of Judge John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Otherwise he probably would have endorsed Pat Toomey
This pretty much says it all. I know Jack Kemp’s former campaign manager in Georgia (yeah I’m that old) and he knew Newt all the way back to his college professor days and told me that Newt will say ANYTHING to get elected, and he told me that long after his Jack Kemp days, so it wasn’t a politically motivated comment. Newt is playing FR people like a Stradavarius and I can imagine they day when his supporters will rue the day they pulled for this guy. The GOP field is just awful. We are in deep trouble.
While I am not a Roman Catholic myself, I would like to ask, do I err in my understanding that when Newt joined your church not too long ago, they vetted him for sincerity?
The article is spot on.
It is unfortunate that Rick Santorum is the best candidate still in the campaign.
I really thought Michelle Bachmann was the best of the field. I thought Herman Cain could easily win the election but he couldn’t stand the heat.
I don’t like Rick Santorum well enough to send money to and there is no way I sending money to Rino Romney or Noot Gingrich.
I enjoy hearing Gingrich putting down the press. I enjoy and get a laugh at his quick thinking. I don’t get a laugh at his inability to play by the rules. He is a serial adulterer, a Glogal Warmist, a cap and trade supporter, he wants to legalize illegal immigrants, ulgh!
I am afraid that Obama will have fun with Newt, not in the debates but perhaps those too. There are so many recordings of Newt saying almost anything you want to hear that he won’t even come close. I’m afraid the die is case, we will get 4 more years of Obama.
Santorum is too green and brittle.
Newt has Obama’s “So what about my history?” attitude trumped in spades. If Obama even tries that with Newt, Obama will be shown for the negative infinity that HE came from.
If Obama pulls up Newt’s past record in a dbate, the easy answer for Newt would be “Yes,I do have a record.. Where’s yours?”
“For your information the reason Santorum endorsed Specter over Toomey was because in 2005 and 2006 Specter, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, shepherded the confirmations of Judge John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Otherwise he probably would have endorsed Pat Toomey”
First, I dont think you have any evidence of that. Santorum never really bucked the establishment on the side of liberty. Also, if you think Newt has baggage, wait until people look at Santorum’s leadership PAC slush fund funded by lobbyists while he was in office.
The post you’re responding to (#25) actually lists things Santorum has done to indicate he is a big government conservative. Not Newt.
You may end up being right about Newt, but that isn’t my sense. I think we’re seeing pretty much the real Newt. Yes, he might disappoint at times, which can be said of any politician, but in the end i think we’ll be far better off (both the country and the conservative movement) with him as President than with any of the other remaining likely possibilities.
Not just Alito, but also Roberts
I fear the same. Gingrich means four more years of Obama.
Excellent
Oh yeah, I’m no Santorum fan either, but indeed I stand corrected.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) gives Newt and Romney a lower 2nd Amendment Score than Santorum.

Your post is interesting as you’re taking the word of someone who knew him “way back when”. At the same time, there are a large number of people who also knew him in the past, folks from the Reagan administration, who have endorsed him enthusiastically.
Newt Gingrich has gone through AA, counseling and a religious conversion to Roman Catholicism. He is now 68 years old. People change and his platform is a positive one Conservative Republicans support.
Sounds like your comment is definitely a politically motivated one.
Go pound sand.
