A woman who called in to Levin tonight tipped me off to this speech Newt gave today. He reportedly drew 4,000 people, as many as Santorum did in the same venue. The video runs 67 minutes, with the Speaker starting around 6:30. As usual, he does a superb job, blending his stump speech with new ideas and commentary on recent news. Students asked questions for the last 20 or so minutes. There are many standing ovations, but the biggest concerns a Chevy Volt and a gun rack. Go Newt.
The Conservatives who don’t prefer Mister NOOT are being unduly influenced by the BS of the establishment Republicans, the democrats, and/or the mainstream media, which are all the same in the bitter end. Mister NOOT is the one with the plan, from day (1), one, to save America. Do me a favor, support NOOT.

The Washington establishment “power structure” dares not allow real conservative change!
‘Connected &questionable publications like Wall Street Journal, the new Nat. Review and American Spectator join in.
TAKE THE TIME Gingrich lays it out: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/cpac-2012-republican-candidates-speak-on-day-2/2012/02/09/gIQAzjDh3Q_blog.html?wprss=rss_politics
Gingrich went into detail about his plans for his first few days in office. Much of his remarks came from his standard stump speech; unlike Romney and Santorum, he did not tailor his words much to the audience. Santorum will echo. Hannity, Limbaugh, and Levin will ignore.
Everybody! wants to audit the Fed.
Everybody knows; when Gingrich got into this war to help the people get this country back, that his only weapons were reason, ideas, and conservative message.
Romney drew first blood in Iowa and Newt was forced to return in kind (at least for a while) or die.
Romney keeps the lies coming and as Gingrich is excoriated for defending,
the cross-hairs move to include Santorum,...
while people are paid to events and every poll.
Romney Ads in Fla. – 13,000! to Gingrich and others’ 3 hundred, and still got only a third of the vote. GOP bosses are using up their “beat-Obama” money just to keep ‘business as usual’.
Their only message is trashing the other candidates. - no other goal.
*THIS IS WHAT we (The People) THINK:
Three offer nothing, promise nothing; wishing only still to remain, to be shooo-ed in at the end
by default, as the last man standing, at Obama’s ‘final demise’.
Not Good Enough!
*Gingrich will do what needs to be done. We see no friends, no special interest, and we see No Fear!
Limbaugh said the Newt is “Intellectually muscle-bound”.
That’s funny, but even to his own political endangerment, He’s Done it before!
He is the enemy of ALL our enemies.
THAT’S WHAT WE WANT!
No booming voice and he looks like the Pop-n-Fresh doughboy, but he’s fierce. True grit?
He’s the MAN!!
HERE’S WHY:
Romney says - he “really is” conservative.
Santorum says- it’s “all about everything” that “it’s all about”...???
Gingrich says - what he will do!.
Gingrich defends-He is trashed for whining..Santorum whines-He is praised for defending
What’s up with that???
People need to know.
*Like Trump, Romney’s history is one of preservation of only his own political capital.
*Gingrich has the fire and a history of risking it all, delivers on promises, promises to
save our butts AND dismantle a lot of the “self-serving permanent” Washington political class to boot!
and he ‘gets it’ regarding our ‘place’ on the whole world stage.
*Santorum was one of our Reps then Senate’s “new” guys’ that breached Gingrich’s “Contract with America”,
fell to consorting with the Dem/Gov. party and wallowed in the establishment’s business as usual.
Pretending now it was you, me, and other conservatives that lost their way.
Usurping others’ image, purpose, message, and faking endorsement—self promoting earmark-king,
a work in progress, say anything, try-again politician.
With a hollow record of accomplishment, zero leadership experience, whining demeanor, and loser’s aura in the wake of getting trounced by 19 pts last time out (as an incumbent!)...
Irritates the hell out of me.
(Still here because nobody bothered to even look at him, let alone slander. Like Obama, another messianic
‘blank slate’ allowing people to wish what they want to see)
Reluctant ‘Romney-supporters’ malleable second choice?
*Imagine a neighbor - who just wants to get ahead.
He borrows, buys a mansion, and now he’s under water like the rest of us.
If he had in his heart, he saved a builder’s 20% by doing some of the construction and contracting the rest himself. He can call himself a homebuilder- job provider.
*Imagine another neighbor - If he has the cash,
who buys the mansion that’s struggling (at a discount), fires the help, strips it, sells the doors,
windows, all the appliances, cabinets, fixtures, dozes the house to the ground, sells the lot
to the highest bidder, and skips town. He can call himself Romney - an equity speculator.
The do-little easiest kind of “business” there is.
*And another - just looking to grab that little ole’ brass RING!
The first -— Created jobs, a product, and helped to grow the community.
The second -— Just made himself some money.
The third-— Has a ring.
Gingrich and Reagan Video Goes Viral. See It Now!
..Loser two out of three?....While WE count our blessings, not everybody’s born lucky at ‘Love’.
..Ethics stuff was crap too! .... IRS totally exonerated Gingrich long ago.
Newt voluntarily pays one fine for a technicality.
..Peddling means offering something for money - never happened!
http://youtu.be/VVEgn_FIZuQ —nobody? remembers
..Gingrich too, was dumb-suckered to the “warming scam” like Romney, even SARAH!, and millions more of us.
He will admit it before he’s President.
Santorum is yet to grow horns, detach himself from growing gov’t, welfare, Dept.of Ed, etc. have some plans,
promise them believably, finish his oj-training, and learn to lead.
He will better than Romney, at least, manage our decay, but we need a man we know,
who can put a stop! to it, and who will dare to repair!!
Gingrich knows 1what, 2why, 3when, 4where, and 5 how. He will get right to work.
We will see it first day! He will turn this ship around, and he will surely add to his list of enemies,
America’s enemies!
It will be fun to watch !!!
The Wash-estab, both parties, inside traders, C-Span, nearly every talking head,
and all the major Media, are freaked !
Romney would probably try to make a few changes too, but only if “the inside elite” will allow.
Favoring shared personal power sources, Business as usual, our Crony “capitalists”,
already established concerns, BIG-est business, a few multi nat. corps, their own support’s biggest contributors, banks, and just “some other day” for the low-income and middle class,
Making it even more difficult for new and small business( jobs ) to grow. -——
We will also hear this and more every day in November!
from Obama and all his help out of Hollywood and the Lame-stream.
THIS IS SERIOUS. Self interest and the Washington elite - Everybody FIGHTING change needs Romney.
We need reform.
All of America will benefit. WE WANT CHANGE!!
Say NO to Romney
We gotta go GINGRICH, NOW!.
It’s all up to us.........................................Help Explain,

This was a such an inspiring speech and great Q & A from the students.
What a fantastic photo. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know why a Volt couldn’t be fitted with a gun rack, even though anyone weird enough to be the owner of one certainly wouldn’t want it.
Wouldn’t it be fitting for a Volt to carry a rack of tasers? (Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifles)
4,000? I just read that the auditorium holds 11,000 and it was full. That crowd is wayyyyy more than 4,000 people.
Thank you, red flanker, for the photo and your response. I trust that you are correct about the attendance - I read Newt’s numbers on a possibly biased Oklahoma TV station website. I hope that Newt can leverage this performance into votes.
God be with Newt Gingrich!
The only candidate of substance.
Thank you very much for this photo.
This photo will cheer you.
My prayers, my hopes, my money for politics and my support all belong to Newt Gingrich.
GO NEWT GO!!!!!!
Oh, thank you. It’s posted.
Seeing it live-streaming today was like being there. You could feel the electricity.
GOD BLESS YOU, DEAR NEWT!!!
I was driving today and heard Newt being interviewed — well-— I _think_ it was Sean Hannity interviewing him - and I heard something about the Volt and the gun rack. I really enjoyed that part! That was _great_!
I was at both the Santorum and Gingrich townhalls. In both, we sat 3-5 rows from the top. The crowd at the Santorum townhall looked slightly larger than Gingrich’s. At Santorum’s event every row in front of us was within 1-2 seats of being full. They weren’t that close to full at today’s event. It was a big crowd, with lots of young people, but I noticed that there were a lot who didn’t clap or give any sign of agreement with Gingrich.
That’s what I thought! 11,000, filled to capacity.
So good of them to stream it live today. Enjoyed every second.
We can certainly see for ourselves that it was full. The RickyBackers are flat out lying.
