Newt Gingrich Is In the Race...

[Garb]

I was going to say, I like Newt, but he's probably unelectable due to decades of bad press.

That being said, I, for one, don't care who a politician is doing. I figure maybe if he screws his secretary, he'll be too busy to screw me.

I look at it this way. If he would cheat on his oath to his wife, why would he not cheat on an oath to the Constitution?

 

[rambone]

Not a chance I'll vote for Newt and his personal baggage has zilch, zero, nada to do with it. He's an establishment guy.

This. His family baggage doesn't concern me. His "establishment" baggage does.

 

[ATOMonkey]

Yep, he's definitely a fan of big socially conservative government.

No thanks.

Even his fiscal conservative credentials aren't much to get excited about.

In a recent Hannity interview, he said that he would be in favor of raising the debt ceiling to keep things moving, but move towards reducing the deficit.

Wow! That's just crazy talk!!

I would vote for him if it came down to him and Obama. However, I would prefer another candidate

 

[czar996]

I really don't think Newt is electable. If we have him going up against Obama, Obama wins. Probably not a good thing.

Bad form when you serve your dying wife divorce papers in the hospital because you are doing your chief of staff.

then serve her papers on the death bed?

Cite please. According to the article posted and everything I can find. He discussed the terms of the divorce while she was in the hospital recovering.

There is plenty to bash him on, no need to be untruthful about it.

I could give a rat's ass about his wife. What about stuff like this?? Basically a push for carbon taxes.

All that proves is that he's a ****** idiot.

As Cavuto said last night: "The GOP has lost it's balls"

Wow! I opened a can of worms.......

It's INGO if everyone here agreed it would be a boring place. You could start a thread about how the sky is blue and someone would state your an idiot, it's plainly green.

When you start talking politicians/politics it gets even worse. Almost as bad as glock vs 1911.

Please everyone that knows anything knows that Sig is better than both. P220/P226 pwns all enough said.

Thanks,

Who? Gingrich? Rambone? Both?

I'll take what's behind door number 3 Monty.

Newt is a very smart man with alot of good ideas IMO. Do I believe he is electable.... no. As someone posted before, I would LOVE to see a debate between him and Obama. Newt would hand Obama his ass.

Problem I see on here time after time after time is NO ONE is good enough to be President. No one is perfect and I probably could dig up dirt on God if I was given enough time.

Everyone needs to get off the "perfect" person for President, it isn't going to happen. Every candidate will have baggage. You simply have to vote for the one who is the closest to your beliefs/desires/good for the country, etc... Taking into account the current occupant of the White House, they also need to have SOME idea what their doing.

Reality tells you it will be a Democrat or a Republican that is elected in November 2012. Believing anything else is wishful thinking. IMO ANY of the Republicans that have announced they are running would be a MAJOR improvement over what we have now. NOT PERFECT, but better.

It is amazing the political purity that many members of this group have.

It's also amazing that "they" NEVER give a name of someone they WOULD vote for. Wish "they" would, I'd Google them and post up dirt on them too just to prove a point.

 

[bigcraig]

Unfit to lead.

Look elswhere.

I'll give you a name. Mike Church.

I like Ron Paul.

Never heard of him. I wish I had Sirus Radio to listen to him, as he sounds interesting. Didn't see anything about him possibly running for POTUS though. I feel the media would have a hayday with him.

Rambone, I like Ron Paul too, but he is as unelectable as Newt. The media has made him out to look like some kind of a kook. So IMO he is unelectable.

This is why I keep coming back to using the term reality. You will have two TRULY electable candidates that will be running in November 2012. A Democrat, and a Republican. One will have to choose for one or the other. As NO third party is really capable of fielding a candidate that can really win, if more vote Democratic than Republican the outcome is obvious. THAT IMO cannot be allowed to happen. So a Republican is the only REAL alternative isn't it?
