Newt would not attack Romney ..Newt would respond to the questions. On the other hand..Romney would need some “depends” on his rear.
Newt is not afraid of such questions and has appeared on Fox news and other television shows honestly responding. He also has the letter from his daughter on his site and answers all attacks in full.
If voters want a man that is running on social issues and a true social conservative..Santorum would be leading in the polls
Yes - Santorum is my ideological choice, but he is also flawed. And he has not been able to get any traction - and that is a fatal flaw for any candidate.
We can’t vote just for ideology - we have to vote for a package of all that is necessary as BOTH a candidate and a President.
That's why I still prefer Perry to Romney or Newt!
And yes, all three have their problems w/ Conservatives.
Newt's already tried that once regarding Romneycare. Romney shut him down completely when he (Romney) stated that he got the idea of a government mandate to purchase healthcare insurance from Newt's support of the federal government forcing me to buy something. Newt had absolutely no response to it.
Don't get me wrong. I have no use for either Romney or Newt. Neither will be able to go after Obama regarding Obamacare, as Obama will just say he was doing what Romney and Newt supported, and followed their lead on the subject.
LOL!!! DEPENDS????? my thought exactly, but will they fit into the magic underwear?
Heck, Romney just got flustered and mad at Brett on the Fox interview, now try to imagine up against NEWT.
Looking back at the debates, Newt was very polite and never said anything negative about the others. I think he must have been thinking, JUST YOU WAIT, I'll take the very last one of you out with kindness, and make you like it, and do a double take of "what the hell happened".
Does all this mean that NEWT will now have the Center podium in the next debate???
I think the majority of us here are not totally thrilled with any candidate, but there’s a growing majority that recognizes that Newt more than anyone, has really thought through the issues facing this country.
On the other hand, there are people on this forum, most likely unemployed, who have nothing better to do than to post incessantly negative Newt articles and data collections.
These people are so closed minded to anything the man has to say, that it’s not worth trying to convince them.
THEREFORE, it’s been my opinion that the best thing for both candidates would be a Lincoln-Douglas style debate, at some point, that pits them against each other to discuss the issues and how they see America. It doesn’t have to be negative at all.
I’m disappointed that Romney has refused.
“He also has the letter from his daughter on his site “
I wonder what would happen if Newt’s ex-wife made a campaign ad explaining what really happened, i.e., that (1) she was the one who requested the divorce, (2) her cancer wasn’t diagnosed until after divorce papers were drawn up, and (3) she didn’t actually DIE of cancer. We’d probably hear less, “Oh, and Newt served divorce papers on his wife when she was dying of cancer.”
