Newt - The only Reagan Republican in the 2012 race

[Jane Long]

Thanks for the heads up ;)

[Jim Robinson]

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains,
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
Took us all the way to New Orleans...

[Ingtar]

I find that picture offensive. The era of Reagan is not over for me.

[deport]

Not sure what is going on with Newt but it seems the mudbugs are even abandoning his campaign.

From Rasmussen 3-22-12...

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary Voters in Louisiana finds Santorum with a 12-point lead over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney – 43% to 31%. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who has pinned his hopes on capturing other Southern states beyond South Carolina and his native Georgia runs a distant third with 16% support. Texas Congressman Ron Paul comes in last with five percent (5%). One percent (1%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

I assume that note was from the Ballerina, Ron Reagan Junior, since Newt and Reagan had very different ideas on the role of government and it’s proper size.

Anyway, Newt’s Townhall meeting has been moved to the back booth at Denny’s due to a lack of interest.

[caww]

Almost 10:00 now here on the East Coast...I’ll be tunning in to hear Newt with Piers.

Newt’s about that only man that Piers can’t rile...he repsects Newt even though he does try to trip him up, but he’s careful to do that as he knows Newt will up him.

10:00 Newt on CNN with Piers!!!!! Go Newt Go!!!

AC360 is on and they are talking about Whitney.

If I remember correctly, Baton Rouge had one helluva Tax Day Tea Party in 2009.

In just about every exit poll from the primaries, voters indicate that Newt has the right experience for the presidency position by majority margins. It is clear that Rick is merely a two-dimensional placeholder for voters and he wins the votes of those who want someone who appears clean-cut and honest family man. Romney also competes for those same voters.

Newt is one who's been on the nerves of the White House and he is the one to continue to deliver bold ideas and a positive vision of the future to all Americans.

Great ideas never go broke.

[Gene Eric]

Go Newt!

[Christie at the beach]

Thanks for the heads up.

I love that picture.

The Problem as I see it with Romney is that he will be such a mediocre President that even if he does win he will be so middle of the road as to “not upset the apple cart” that the economy will not bloom and then in 4 years it will assure that the democrats take back power on the whole meme that the “economy didn’t recover”.

Not to mention any GOP president is going to be so damned hated no matter how “moderate” they are. Mittens will get so damned gun shy that he will be ineffective and the MSM and the Democrat controlled media will smell blood and keep attacking him even as he retreats and this will paralyze him to what needs to be done to restore the economy and defuse all of Obama’s horrible regulatory actions.

Newt is going to be hated like hell anyways and HE KNOWS THAT, but he also knows that he will have the people who put him there behind even if the Media doesn’t paint it that way every night at 5:00pm.

So therefore, Newt (who thrives on antagonism instead of flinching from it) will take the bold measures to recover the economy despite being thrashed every night on the MSM news channels. In Four years the MSM will be flabbergasted like their were on election night in 1984, because the man on the street will notice the economy improvement.

Mitt is a Flincher, Newt is a Clincher

Definition of a Clincher:

a decisive fact, argument, act, or remark

Definition of a Flincher:

to withdraw or shrink from or as if from pain

We are so SOL if Either Mittens gets in or Barry gets a second term.

Mittens would only slow things down and then in four years the GOP would be blamed so much but with little to show we would still be in an economic malaise the likes of Carter’s worst dreams. This would GUARANTEE a Democrat Victory over the house the senate and even the presidency in 2016. They would not be pulling any punches as they would run someone that would make Obama look like a middle of the road moderate. Because they know they would have a very good chance of winning. Not to mention the class warfare game that could be played to Bolshevik conclusion during that election if we get Romney and mediocre performance out of him which is very much likely.

Of course Obama winning would be a very much “nothing to lose” second term that would see him likely either completely destroying the economy so badly that they play the game of “Destroy and Support” in that they would destroy the economy and then support the people as the “great savior” thus ensuring either “Glorious Revolution” or the mass construction project of making millions more so dependent that they will have a permanent grip on power that would only come undone with Blood sweat and tears, but mostly Blood and Tears.

ABO and ABR, because we really need Newt or maybe Santorum if we get desperate, heck I would even take, heaven forbid (I can’t believe I am saying this), Ron Paul over Romney for the reasons above.

So I repeat once more: Newt is the Clincher, and Mitt is the Flincher.

Go Newt! Let’s take America back and restore Constitutional Conservatism. Plus $2.50 per gallon is looking pretty good to me now.

Breaking: Newt is toast

[Cindy of Nashville]

NavVet, you must have never heard one on Newt’s speeches. He can really stir a crowd. As a matter a fact when he isn’t speaking the campaign is rather dull and boring. He’s a national treasure and I personally will only accept him for president. I don’t care who wins, I will only listen to him. I’m hoping he will start a shadow govt. It’s our only hope for national survival.

[Rennes Templar]

I’m with you!

[strongbow]

Hope he gets a shrimp poboy while in BR. I usually head to my favorite dive first thing when I land there. that’s my home but I would weigh 300 pounds if I lived in BR again.
