Newtzilla to the Rescue

A number of inside-the-beltway establishment Republicans have apparently been asking the question, "How do we stop Newt?"
It has been posited by some that this reaction is due to their own fear of Newt coming in and cleaning house just like he says he will, upsetting the Washington status quo, which these people have built their lives around. They respond that he is too egotistical and into himself and is at once erratic and out of control and therefore should not be put into that kind of position of power.

But he is also the only person on the stage who has currently led the passage of a major reform and change in direction in Washington. Maybe someone with some real passion and who is not afraid of some controversy is needed to actually do something like this.

What do the times that we live in call for? Is it time for another four years waiting until the next election until someone better comes along, because the current occupant of the White House does not have the leadership ability, the courage or the commitment to take on the potentially disastrous challenges that our country faces?

Mitt Romney is not a choice.

He's loaded, good-looking, scandal-free, and has been in the spotlight for 6 years as a Presidential candidate....and NO ONE LIKES HIM.

Mitt Romney is just blah.
 
What do we not know about Gingrich?

What do we not know about Obama?

I'll take what I know about Gingrich overall 10 times out of 10 over what I know about Obama. I'm not happy with the private life of Gingrich but I despise many of the things Obama has done and wants to do.

Obama is not a bad guy. I just don't like many of his policies nor his unfailing support of the Unions. Even his healthcare supposed triumph from his side is muted by all of the exceptions his side allowed.(mostly for Unions)

Hopefully Newt, if elected, will clean/shake things up. While not perfect, Newt, has lots of clear thinking takes on the various issues of the day.
 
Everyone save yourself some energy, Newt is not going to be the next president, period. Hell even Michael Savage offered him $1 million to drop out of the race cause Newt can't win a national election. Newt, just like Palin and Cain, just wants your money, and he's no real candidate.
 
Funny how all the lefties pronounce Newt as a "no way he can win" guy. Just like every other R candidate EXCEPT the one they want to see run against Prez Hussein: Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney is a squish, to employ a term an old friend of mine at UT used for non-conservative Republicans. He turns off much of America's conservative voters because he has no principles. Yet he is exactly like John McCain and Bob Dole in that he is the mainstream media and Beltway insider's hand picked choice for the R nomination. And as soon as he gets it, the Beltway insiders and the media will immediate go about destroying him, just like they did to McCain and Dole.

**** that. I'm not playing by those rules any longer. I will choose anybody but Romney in the primaries because I have seen this game played out far too often and if it is played out again it will lead to a second term for Prez Hussein. Thank God I am not alone in seeing the game for what it is these days.

Have you been paying attention to what the Republicans are saying about Newt? Those who served with him in Congress? It is not flattering.

But please continue with your "all the lefties" tirade and referring to Obama as Hussein. It makes it all the easier to dimsiss your posts as sour grape ranting.
 
Enjoy the view as you go off the cliff next November sticking to Gingrich, the anybody but Willard flavor of the month.

Exactly. I can't help but think that if the GOP had not been hijacked by the evangelical right-wing ideologues, they (the party) would be able to accept a candidate who: accepted global climate change and the role of man, is for limited abortion rights, is for some kind of health-care reform.

The reason MItt has to constantly flip-flop (besides possibly a lack of spine) is that is what the GOP constituents demand of him. If Mitt were to honestly and rationally defend his Mass gubernatorial tenure the right-wingers would crucify him. So, like any gutless politician, Mitt denies his past.

Is it so hard to have a viable GOP candidate who:
1. is for limited abortion rights
2. wants both spending cuts and tax increases
3. takes a pro-evolution/science stand
4. doesn't go brain-dead when it comes to global climate change?

Evidently it is. And the nomination process, which brings out the extremes, doesn't help matters.
 
Don't use Greece as an example of anything other than a country which is worthless.

Running a national railway system that brings in $100m euros and pays out $700m is indicative of all that is wrong with Greece. They don't need an austerity plan, they need a Black Death to wipe out their populace then have Germany annex them.
 
Since Gingrich just put out a tax plan that adds to the deficit, he can't be called fiscally responsible. As for Paul, well bless his heart. In la la land I guess he is fiscally responsible.
 
I hated how much W Bush spent or allowed to be spent. Obama made me wish for the piker spending, comparably speaking.

Romney will spend far more than W but way less than Obama, while Gingrich will be at W levels or below is my impression.

Newt has plans. He can speak thoughtfully for the most part but is still human enough to gaffe at times. He will be a great president.
