   Newt seems to have lost his way badly over the years in Washington. He claims to be a Conservative but comes down on the Liberal side of way too many issues. The kindest explanation I can think of is that he’s been a politician for so long, he can no longer sees issues clearly. Like far too many politicians, he seems to be more interested in advancing his own causes than in fighting for America’s.

   When you forget what you went to Washington for, it’s time to hang it up and go back to your normal career. Wait, today politics _is_ most politicians’ career? Hmm, I think I may have found the problem…

   I wouldn’t rule out the Newt. He is a spinmeister of the first degree from his years in politician school. He has been working Iowa like a native son. He knows the nomination is in those early states because people will jump on the bandwagon of the winner.

   He has the time to deny he said what he believes said.

   Open primaries allow him a way to get his liberal supporters out to boost his numbers.

   I would not count him out yet.

   How/why did Huffington change from a conservative to a progressive, anyway? When did it happen? I always wondered.

   She was never really conservative. She faked it while married to the empty suit named Huffington. She took his name and money after he lost his Senate bid and started her new gig as progressive gadfly.

   What do you have against Arianna Huffington though? It’s fine to disagree with her, but she has been a pioneer on the internet and we should celebrate the success of the possibility at a minimum.

   Isn’t that kinda like celebrating the pioneering of the V1 rocket? Or of Goebbles pioneering of propaganda?

    From my RNC rejected solicitation of the day files, grass-roots conservatives haven’t forgotten Newt’s affair with Dede Scozzafava. This is the baggage he can’t shake:

    This by far is the biggest reason to keep him from getting the nomination.

    This yahoo not only supported her, but then got mouthy with those who supported the Tea Party candidate.

    It wasn’t a little mouthy, but rather nasty towards those who have the right to support who they want in an election.

    J@ck@ss!

    Pioneer in what way? By perpetuating the idea that nothing can be believed if it’s on the net?

    She’s like Newt. A johnny-come-lately.

    Makes about as much sense as the original. Similar, but equally ridiculous examples abound.

    Since bho is so bad, the GOP thinks it has a reprieve. bho needs to go, so things look good for a GOP victory. The GOP still doesn’t want to listen to the American public. If the choice is between the GOP big gov and the dem big gov, then we are all doomed. Newt and Romney are the poster boys for business as usual. We need real leadership and real solutions and the spineless whimps we have in the GOP.

    Won’t vote for Newt in the primary – reasons are quite obvious.

    But I’m disgusted with Bob Shieffer’s grilling of Newt over his charge account at Tiffany. That was class warfare.

    Newt is not average – he’s running for Prez so any average talk from him or any other candidate is BS.

    As to creating the means to pay off a half-million dollar charge account, oh how I aspire to that! Not sarc!

    It’s not that many of the “front line GOP candidates” lack brains or good ideas, including Newt. What they lack is cajones. If Newt had any, conservatives would have kept the gubmint shut in 95 until hell froze over, and the last 15 years would have been completely different. Mitt, Newt, Tim, why is it that only the GOP women have enough testosterone to tell a moron to P**s Off? McCain didn’t want to offend anyone by calling Obama an empty suit communist, and neither do any of these grand poobahs of the blue blood country club republicans. “I say Lovey, isn’t that Obama chap’s smile Fahbulous”.

    Complain, belittle, and dismiss him all you want right now.

    When Newt stacks up primary victories in all the liberal states, Rush and Sean will start saying we can’t nominate an “unelectable” person “too far to the right” who would alienate independents.

    Then you’ll hold your nose and vote for him.

    I think that Newt has been positioning himself to beat Obama. Although, conservative purists would like Reagan to be reincarnated (myself included), I’m not sure that a staunch conservative can beat Obama. I believe that Newt can beat Obama be appealing to independents and he probably can’t do that by coming across as to far right. Also, he is far smarter and will destroy Obama in a fair debate.

    I’d rather Herman Cain, but I’d settle for Newt over four more years of the socialist in chief.

    Bibi is gambling with Israel’s future. He’s taking the stance he is to help provide what little support he can for conservative candidates in the U.S. He’s gambling that it would be better for Israel to risk Obama’s ire now in hopes of replacing him in 2012, than to try to appease Obama now and risk another 5.5 years of him.

    If we were forced to drink the Kool-Aid and forced to vote for marxists, it would be homicide, when it’s done voluntarily, it’s suicide.

    Brain addled suicide, aided by the propagandists, maybe, but suicide nonetheless.

    Newt is a game-player. To him, politics is just a “game”.

    He gets up in the morning, puts on his selected “politician” hat, wanders around spouting, then at 5 pm he takes off his “politician” hat and goes back to being whoever he really is.

    None of his spouting means anything because he doesn’t believe a word of it himself.

    He’s just “playing the game”.
