The more he debates, and talks, the more sense he makes. More than the others, and more consistent also. He on radio today, REPENTED of his past marital misbehavior, and stated that since then he has repented also to God. Something for me to think about.

No thanks, he voted in favor of the "gun free school zones act" during the Klinton years. 'nuff said.

WOW! YOUR RIGHT! Not only did he vote for it, the INFAMOUS "Lautenberg Act" was included in that bill. Well I guess I got over that in a big hurry. Thanks for the info Doublebass73.

I don't think old college professors are worth a Damn for much of anything. I am sure that I would not trust one to be president in my time. Old professors can give you the secrets to every problem in the world. They however are total strangers to the world and people who exist beyond the class room door.

All true I suppose, but DB's info, plus my checkin it out, was a deal killer. I'm glad for the info.

No problem Dee, I don't think that many people realize this about Newt. It's a dealbreaker for me and it should be for anyone who treasures their 2nd Amendment rights. If that's not enough evidence that Newt could care less about the Constitution then I don't know what is.

I have to say this is troubling. 2nd amendment and abortion are no compromise places for me.

i was liking NEWTs rise....up till now.....he is another republicrat i guess

i don't see RON PAUL overtaking Oromnee

but looks like my primary vote will be going to RON PAUL still

i will cast the ''anti-democrat'' / ''lessor of 2 evils'' vote in the general election

billy_56081 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 15, 2011, 03:56:39 PM »

Well Tim, being from Minnesota I don't have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. This welfare controlled liberal bastion of the north always votes for the parasite bunch. PM me your name and I might write you in with DEE for VP if Oromeny gets the chip.

BILLY. Agreed Sir, newt is a rino. The only 2 running worth a vote is RP and Michelle Bachman. POWDERMAN.

Once upon a time as in the primaries for the last presidential race I thought Newt might make a good President. More careful study tho proved that not to be the case. I could be wrong but don't really see any of those running other than Ron Paul who would be better than what we have now. I cannot vote for any of them other than Paul.

If he fails to get the nomination I'll just not bother to vote as I don't want to have helped another of the ilk of the last three to be elected. I can't vote for any dumocrap but if there is no better choice I will abstain from supporting another RINO.

Quite honestly I think the best thing that could happen to this nation is for some natural disaster to wipe DC off the map on the one day of the year the entire crew is there. Starting over fresh would be preferable to the situation we have now even if it meant those of us with guns in our homes being the primary security force to keep invaders out for a few years.

A natural disaster isnt likely to target and wipe out Washingtom DC but an ecconomic crash certainly would and it would have already happened if it wern't for the combined efforts of the congress and the present and past executine branches.

They will feed the whole country to the dogs to try to keep a crash from happening as they have already proven. It is inevitable. It has been prolonged but it is inevitable.

Sorry to jump the thread but I see little other hope of wipeing out DC. ear

It's sad that the Republicans can't come up with a dynamic leader to beat Obama. Shows how troubled the Republican party is. As I said before, if the Republican party looses the presidental election; they only have themselves to blame.

"REPENTED of his past marital misbehavior, and stated that since then he has repented also to God. "

Kind of reminds me of prisoners finding religion before they are up for parole.

In my own past experience with convicts, I noted that they either find Jesus, or a gang. If they find Jesus, the most times misplaced Him after departure from the pen. If they find a gang, it is usually "to death do they part".
However, your observation is duely noted and agreed with, I am only "expanding the thought".

magooch · « **Reply #17 on:** November 16, 2011, 02:33:35 AM »

Newt surely would not be my first choice, but there isn't anyone on the Republican list of hopefuls that I wouldn't vote for in order to get rid of the regime we're saddled with now. Any other course of action is insane and unpatriotic. Some of you just don't seem to understand the absolute evil represented by Obama and for that matter, the Dumycrat (communist) Party. Of course the Republicans and even the Tea Party are not perfect, but the difference is enormous. I don't think it is exaggerating to believe that the very exitence of this country as it was conceived is at stake.

Newt is an eight year paid bankster lobbiest, namely Freddie Mac. Being that, he is part of the problem, not a solution.

Ron Paul is currently 2nd in Iowa, behind Cain and ahead of Romney.

Dee · « **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:27:56 AM »

As much as I would like to see Paul win, he will not.

BUGEYE · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2011, 03:36:15 AM »

I haven't spoke to Newt in three or four years. but when I did he admitted a lot of mistakes. he didn't elaborate but I hope the 2nd amendment was what he refered to. he may have been talking about his wives. I don't know.

Or a preacher repenting when he is caught red handed. ear

Dee · « **Reply #22 on:** November 16, 2011, 04:21:06 AM »

Tell me blind ear. On the topic of "repentence". When is a good time to repent? When you realize the sin yourself, or when others have pointed it out to you, and you realize their right, or when you suffer the consquences of that sin, and realize that you deserved the consquences, and repentence is the proper thing to do. OR! How about all the above?
God tells us, to judge the sin, not the sinner. Where do you stand on that? I actually don't know Newt's heart, nor the preachers heart. Do you?
If Newt says he's sorry, and has repented, then I have to believe him, unless I SEE otherwise.

SHOOTALL · « **Reply #23 on:** November 16, 2011, 04:23:01 AM »

Newt is a great politican. He is good at saying what people want to hear . He also does as he wishes after the election . If a man will cheat on his wife he will cheat on anyone.
I won't say I will not vote for him but I hope for a better choice.

Dee · « **Reply #24 on:** November 16, 2011, 04:37:58 AM »

As do I.

Dixie Dude · « **Reply #25 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:20:58 AM »

I will probably vote for Ron Paul in primary. However if someone else gets the nomination, I will have to vote for them over Obama. At least the liberal tide could be slowed down. Newt does make sense on a lot of issues. Building the pipeline from the Bakkan oil fields to Texas for refining. Opening up other areas for drilling, offshore, and in Alaska. Building the natural gas pipeline from northern Canada to Alaska, to bring down the 47 year supply of natural gas to the lower 48. Going back to the pre '98 banking regulations. Cutting out several departments no longer needed. It would require a tea party take over of not just the house, but the senate, to get a lot of these things done. 4 more years of Obama and America will be bankrupt and/or have hyper inflation to pay for the excessive spending. A republican might slow things down, or get some things done to keep America going for a few more years.

I am glad to see there are other folks that think like I do. When I evaluate a politician my first question is where do they stand on gun rights. If their stance is unfavorable then that is all I need to hear and will not listen to anything else they have to say.

People have derided me for this stance in the past but if a politician does not want me owning a gun then he sees me as a subject rather than a citizen and that renders anything else he says as irrelevant in my eyes. This is exactly why I will never even consider voting for ANY democrat.

Newt is old time , back when deals were worked out. In the last election the liberals/progressives went to all or nothing politics. They don't comprise , just look at whats going on. Can Newt function in this enviroment ? Is he the man for the job ? Or do we need a hard nosed SOB to go head to head with the other side ?

BUGEYE · « **Reply #28 on:** November 16, 2011, 06:17:36 AM »

my number 1 issue is abortion and Newt would fight for constitutional protection of the unborn.

My # 1 issue is gun rights , with out them there will be no fight to protect the Consitution or any other right.
