No delusions, only history. Anyway he's not "my boy", although I have much admiration for his knowledge of American History and his firm grasp on the subject of conservative ideology. His only problem for me; that he doesn't always stick to his publicly avowed political agenda.

Rick Santorum is the correct conservative candidate. It's very clear now. There's not much more illusion.

I don't know if he can win the nomination; I don't know if he can win the general election. (unlike everybody else on this forum, I've no crystal ball, it seems)

I just dislike all these attacks generated by the liberal media complex and then spit back out at me by all these liberals who accuse Republicans of not thinking for themselves.

"Delusion": Taking it personal is going to get you in trouble. Try just addressing the topic, you'll last longer.

Just like I said, disingenuous hypocrites. Or.. maybe nothing more than scared little leftist children afraid their anti-America savior and current food stamp presadent is going down in flames.

Let's try to seperate out all of your jumbled opinions.
1) Yes, Clinton was a complete dog of a husband. I think everyone knows that. However, he did leave office with an approval rating in the 60s. A good many right wing children had to be of that opinion for it to be in the 60s. Bush has ratings that high only after 9-11. He left office with ratings in the mid 40s I believe.
2) Newt is also a dog. They can both be dogs. Newtie dog was doing the SOME THING that Clinton was doing while leading the attacks on him for impeachment. You want to talk hypocracy....start with that little fact.
3) Obama is not Clinton...Obama should be so lucky.
4) Maybe Marianne Gingrich came out now because this lothsome creature of a man is now in a race to be the repub nominee...and he can do some real damage to the country. While he laid low, collecting his ill gotten gains, there was no need for her to say anything.
5) I am not afraid of Obama losing the election....I would be scared if I though Newtie had a chance in Hades.

Exactly...folks have mighty short memories.

IMHO this is just another attempt by the press to dig up trash to report on. This is just the latest example of the lack of character that the press poses today. I don't know what ax this ex wants to grind but I pose the question " How much was she paid for her staged, rehearsed story?" Isn't this convenient of the timing? All stories, especially divorce stories become distorted over time. The press seems to be able to manufacture trash in order to further their (the press) agenda. The press has made up their minds who they think poses the most risk to defeat our current president and have a mission to discredit anyone who could pose such a threat.

No one in the press forced Marianne G. to talk. She was not paid to speak up, and by many accounts is a republican and a conservative, so not likely to be trying to subvert the party's chances in November. Does she have a personal agenda? Of course she does, but that does not mean she is lying. In fact newt's past behavior would indicate she is likely telling the truth. As for gingrich's friends he suggested could vouch for him -- how could anyone else know what was said between husband and wife? Newt is just the latest pol to blame the press to deflect attention from bad behavior. Sure the press likes a juicy story, and maybe some like them coming from the right more than the left, though I have seen plenty from the left as well. However, that does not make the stories fabricated, nor excuse bad behavior.

Everyone's got to stop rewriting history on Bill Clinton.

The impeachment was because HE LIED UNDER OATH!!!!

It wasn't because of his employee kneeling before him.

Give it up on Newt. He was kicked out of his job as Speaker of the House by his own party. He was fined $300,000 for Congressional ethics violations.

Is this like the second or third time you've posted this? Just another lame bait and switch.

I'm seeing scared little lefties that know Newt would take apart Obama at the seams.

In a debate Newt Gingrinch will be able to handle anything thrown at him, and counterattack, turning it back on Obama who'll be forced to think on his own to respond.(uhhhhhh, ummmmmmm, errrrrrrrr, aahhh)

Romney is not nearly so eloquent in his own defense and will have "humm-ana, humm-ana" moments with attacks prepared for Obama to clout him with.

In a debate Newt will take Barry to the woodshed.

It might not matter to you, and that is your right. However, I THINK that it is likely to matter to a lot of independents, and moderate republicans, who are needed to win the presidency.

As I was registring was told that I was the first to vote in my region (Laurel Manor)

So now I will just sit back ignore the political rhetoric because irrespective of the Republican winner is, he is getting my vote.

There will undoubtedly be several million like you, but if it is Newt I predict there will not be enough.
