If Newt Gingrich were running in the Republican primary who would you support

I agree but Newt's negatives are just to high.....I don't believe Hillary can beat the top 3 republicans, Guliani, Thompson, and McCain but she could beat Romney and any of the second tier candidates......

That is why DD is constantly pushing Gingrich and Romney.......He knows Hillary would probably beat them.......

Wrong....as usual.

Yes, I would gladly support Newt because I think he would lose to any of the Democrats including Richardson in an election. So I would love Newt to be the nominee. It would further define the GOP for the party that it has become.

However, my support for Romney isn't about that at all and I have told you this a least 100 times. I would consider supporting Romney, despite the fact that his views are almost 180 degrees from mine because I seriously believe that he is the one candidate that might be able to repair the damage that GWB has done to this country.

As you are well aware, GWB's entire history has been about using wedge issues to divide the country. Rather than try to bring the country together, GWB decided it was better for him and the neocons politically to divide the country and using wedge issues and fear. GWB has taken this country to the brink of financial and moral bankruptcy and to the brink of a cultural civil war.
Romney took over a trouble 2002 Olympics and made it a HUGE success. He has shown that he can reach across the aisle during his Governorship.

If Romney gets the nomination, I would consider voting for him...it would depend on who the democratic nominee is...at this point it looks like Hilary but in politics....a lot can change.
 
Rudy could very easily win California and Pa. plus if he picks up Huckabee he will win all the southern states... Ohio will never go blue either........You are in deep kimchee my left wing friend and you know it......

You are absolutely hilariouis Navy....Giuliani wouldn't have a chance in California. Especially if Hilary is the nominee. Bill Clinton is considered a GOD to a lot of people in California, whether deserved or not.....It will be decades before a Republican will carry California. Although California has a history of electing Republican Governors, it is highly unlikely a Republican could carry the state in a Presidential election these days.

Now PA...I can't say. I don't know enough about it.
 
I read an article that made a case for the country being fatigued of the Bush/Clinton Dynasties, and that will hurt Hildebeast

And Clinton had goodwill for his terms, but that maybe Hildebeast wiill fail like W

Newt Gingrich has indicated that he is considering a run for the whitehouse. If Newt runs, who will you support in the Republican primary and why?

I voted for Newt because I think that he is the one possible candidate out there that truly represents the views of the Republican party today. Giuliani is too moderate. McCain has self-imploded and is no longer a serious candidate. Romney is too much of a wild-card and the other candidates are not strong enough to be a serious contender. Choosing Newt would give voters a real choice between candidates on the right and on the left.
We love the United States, why would anyone vote for a Salamander? Pure slime.

Read my lips DD Bill Clinton is not running I know a lot of moderate democrats who would never vote for Hillary in a million years........
 
I don't agree with what he did in New York, but to an extent it's really hard to argue with his results. Suing the gun companies is absolutely unforgivable though.

This will probably be the only time I ever agree with a right winger. Yea suing the gun companies is unbearably stupid its the equivalent of these right wing parental groups who want to sue Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft after a school shooting.
 
All I know is when Guliani became mayor in NYC it had one of the highest crime rates in the U.S. During his term he cut gun crimes in half......that is good enough for me.........

There is a big difference in banning guns in NYC and on the plains of Oklahoma.....
That's the most asinine statement I've heard all day.

So OKC doesn't have a crime problem, eh? How about Dallas? Should guns be banned in Dallas?

Seeing as how you think the ends justify the means, should NYC allow beating confessions out of suspects and deny them lawyers also? That would probably make the results even better. :roll:
 
Newt 2008!

Hillary 2008!

Your choice, mark my words now, I’m telling you, that is the only choice you will get unless Hillary shoots herself in the foot.


She already has.

1) Her announcement of bringing back her healthcare plan.

2) She just waffled, again, on her Iraq withdrawal (non)plan.

3) The clincher, she announced today that she's proposing to give $5k to every child born in the US. The sketchy conditions included the completion of high school and a few other conditions not yet specified.

You think we have an immigration problem now, wait until the poor and the minorities get wind of free money.

I just saw this on the news, I'll look for a link and edit my post.

:rofl

Doesn't seem to stop you when you try to use him to smear Hilary...now does it?

The reality is, just as you use Bill Clinton to ATTACK Hilary, people will support her simply because they like Bill Clinton as well.

Silly you....you should know that.
 
I personally would likely vote for Huckabee

Out of the big four, I think I'd be more likely to vote Romney than Newt, though it'd be close.

I would still vote for Tom Tancredo.
 
Darn, it is over, it is the end of the world. NEWT! You have destroyed us… :(

We just have to look for the positive, the black stone idolaters that don’t have any homosexuals will get the Mahdi in the form of an accused lesbean that talks to Eleanor Roosevelt. :shock:
 
Gingrich Says No to White House Bid
Sep 29 01:21 PM US/Eastern
By LIBBY QUAID
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will not run for president in 2008 after determining he could not legally explore a bid and remain as head of his tax-exempt political organization, a spokesman said Saturday.

"Newt is not running," spokesman Rick Tyler said. "It is legally impermissible for him to continue on as chairman of American Solutions (for Winning the Future) and to explore a campaign for president."

Gingrich decided "to continue on raising the challenges America faces and finding solutions to those challenges" as the group's chairman, Tyler said, "rather than pursuing the presidency."

Over the past few months, Gingrich had stoked speculation he might enter the crowded GOP field. He noted that Republicans, especially conservatives, were unhappy with the candidates already in the race.

Yet he also has spoken positively of all the leading contenders, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Just last week, Gingrich said he had given himself a deadline of Oct. 21 to raise $30 million in pledges for a possible White House bid, acknowledging the task was difficult but not impossible.

He abruptly dropped the idea Saturday, apparently unwilling to give up the chairmanship of American Solutions, the political arm of a Gingrich's lucrative empire as an author, pundit and consultant.

American Solutions, a tax-exempt committee he started last October, has paid for Gingrich's travel and has a pollster and fundraiser on staff.

Silly you....you should know that.

There are a lot of independents and Moderates that hate Willie for what he did to the presidency and silly you....you should know that......

Seriously DD like you want Romney and Newt to be the presidential nominee I want Hillary to be the dems........

I can't wait to bring up all the white water and phony stocks she bought as well as Willies past........You think the Swiftboaters went after Kerry..You ain't seen nothing yet my left wing friend and you can take that to the bank.....

Huckabee will be the VP candidate.......Romney has no chance of winning the nomination.......To many flip flops.............
 
I would vote for Ron Paul.
 
GWB has taken this country to the brink of financial and moral bankruptcy and to the brink of a cultural civil war.

While most of your answers are Mickey Mouse, you've shown that you're actually Goofy with this response.

Moral bankruptcy?

G.W. Bush is a God fearing man who is faithful to his religion, his family, and most of all, his country.
To even suggest that he's brought this country to moral bankruptcy is off the charts.

The Democratic party has been THE BIGGEST cause of moral decline in our country for the past 40 years. We're now reaping what the liberals have sown. Abortion, gay marriage, bastard children and out of control STD's because of all the great programs the Dems have offered up.

Cultural Civil War?

Oh, you mean the handful of radical idiot left wing nut jobs who have gained control of the democratic party. Yea, the media plays to them, the liberal candidates dance for them, but the rest of us laugh at you and them.
Your candidates might dance and play lip service to your cultural non-warriors, but your candidates votes can't be hidden, so WE ALL see the truth.


Financial Bankruptcy?

Chicken Little, that's an acorn that hit your noggin'. Bush had to replace all the ammo and gear that the rapist Clinton and murderer Kennedy slashed from the military budget. Plus to wage a proper war takes money. Once we get another Republican in the Oval office, we can continue the righteous war and start slashing some of those bull$hit entitlement programs the dems are famous for.

Kick those lazy bums off welfare and make them work for a living.

Oh yea, no need to thank me, thank the next Republican President for your next round of tax cuts. You might want to buy stock in Kleenex, 8 more years is a long time to use a hanky.

Typical right wing christian, blaming abortion and homosexuals for the quote moral decay of society. What a load of bullshit. Heres a hint how about doing some goddam parenting!!!! Huh is that so hard to ask of these stupid right wing parents who point to gays and abortion when their kids screw up??!!! It must be. Falwell must be your hero since apparently the Evangelical nuts are the only ones that know whats good for all of America.

You know SH!T and you prove it everyday with your absurd predictions which are never, ever right.

You're political predictions are like the loser in Las Vegas...all anyone has to do is bet the opposite of what you write and they'll be a genius...

Remind us all again what you told us about Allen, Santorum, Burns, the total seats won by the GOP in the House, the Senate and in State houses. You got it all wrong...all of it, not one right which is why I think of George Costanza when I read your predictions. :rofl
 
ROFL you of all people labeling me a liberal try again pal.
