Why I’m Endorsing Newt Gingrich
Written By : John Hawkins

A few months ago, I got together with my friend Ali Akbar to hash out the idea of doing an anti-Mitt Romney website. A few weeks ago Ali and I, Yates Walker, Matt Mackowiak and others came out with Not Mitt Romney.

At the time, I hadn’t settled on a favorite candidate and I was asked on multiple radio shows something akin to, “Well okay, if it’s ‘Not Mitt Romney,’ then who is it?” At the time, Herman Cain was on top and although I like him and Michele Bachmann a lot, I said that I thought Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry were the two most viable alternatives to Romney.

Now, more time has passed and we’re getting closer to the home stretch. We’re less than a month away from the Iowa Caucus. Newt’s ahead in Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida. Mitt’s ahead in New Hampshire. No one else other than Ron Paul is in striking distance in any of those states and let’s face it; Ron Paul is a Libertarian, not a conservative, and he has absolutely no chance of winning a general election. So, barring a major scandal or flub by Newt, it looks like either Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee.

Picking a candidate in cases like this for me always starts out with the same question: Who’s the most conservative candidate that can be elected?

I’ve decided that candidate is Newt Gingrich. To begin with, he’s a conservative and Romney’s a right-of-center moderate.

I also believe Newt’s more electable than Romney. That’s not because he polls better than Romney against Obama right now — although he does according to Rasmussen. It’s because Mitt Romney is a weak, bland, moderate candidate who inspires no passion and who seems to have no core convictions whatsoever. These are features, not bugs to establishment Republicans, but conservatives have fought too long and too hard to keep embracing guys like Romney just because a bunch of Republican careerists in D.C. like him or because it’s “his turn.” Is it too much to ask that the conservatives who provide the vast majority of energy, money, and the ideas in the GOP have one of our own as the nominee?

I don’t think it’s too much to ask and, yes, Newt Gingrich is a conservative. I won’t sit here and tell you that he has no flaws or that he hasn’t gone off the reservation a few times. But, I will also tell you that other than Ronald Reagan himself, Newt Gingrich has actually helped push through more conservative legislation than anybody else in the last 30 years. This is the man behind the Contract with America, welfare reform, and a balanced budget in D.C. He has a lifetime ACU rating of 90. This isn’t a man who governed as a centrist and is now telling us how conservative he’ll be this time around. This isn’t a man who simply said “No” to everything that came down the pike because it wasn’t “conservative enough” for him. This is a man who actually moved the ball forward for conservatives on Capitol Hill. When was the last time we got off defense and actually started moving D.C. to the right? Oh, yes, it was when Newt was the Speaker. So, people can criticize his performance as Speaker all they want, but no Republican in D.C. since Newt left has even come close to filling his shoes. Even the best people we have in D.C. right now are doing nothing more than holding the line. There’s a lot to be said for that, but we’ve got to do more than that if we’re ever going to turn the country around.

I’m not going to tell you that Newt doesn’t have any flaws. He does. He committed adultery before he converted to Catholicism. He hasn’t always been a doctrinaire conservative over the last few years. Sometimes, he comes across like he’s wrestling to keep his ego in check. But, there are no perfect candidates running. Everybody in the race has flaws that are just as large as Newt’s, if not larger. However, Newt also has some tremendous strengths. He’s an excellent speaker and a phenomenal debater, he’s extremely knowedgable and competent, he’s actually gotten things done in D.C., and he’s not cowed by the Left. That’s what we need right now because this country has a lot of problems and although it’s vital that we defeat Obama, it’s not good enough to just replace him with a Republican who’s going to govern by the polls and try to maintain the status quo.

Make no mistake about it, folks, the next year is going to be tough on conservatives. Barack Obama has been one of the worst Presidents in American history, but he’s not just going to roll over and hand the presidency to the GOP. Since he has almost nothing positive to campaign on, he’s going to run an extremely negative campaign and the mainstream media will do everything in its power to help him. The attacks on the GOP nominee are going to come fast and furious for the better part of a year. I’ll support whoever the nominee is, but I would feel good about fighting on Newt Gingrich’s behalf for a year. I could feel good about telling people that Newt Gingrich would be a competent President who would make this a better country. I could feel good about the idea of having Newt Gingrich as our President.

Although I gritted my teeth and supported John McCain in 2008 once he won the nomination, I couldn’t say any of those things about him. I also couldn’t say any of those things about Mitt Romney. I’m tired of being stuck with the “lesser of two evils” in presidential elections and that is ultimately why I’m endorsing Newt Gingrich. He can win the nomination, he can win the general election, and I believe he’ll govern conservatively and actually get things done for the country. That’s someone I can feel good about about voting for and endorsing for President.

    Seriously? Head to head you have to choose Romney.

    Newt is a career legislator with zero private sector experience. He had four good years in the 90′s, mostly taking credit for other people’s work. He was forced out by his own party amidst scandal and corruption, and has moved steadily left ever since. His most recent political acts were to endorse a liberal Democrat for Congress and make a global warming commercial with Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi. He endorsed Obamacare.

    Romney has executive experience at the highest levels of government and industry. He’ll always be a squish, but he’s at least moved to the right over time. Romney is a true Washington outsider, while Newt is pretty much king of the Republican Beltway Establishment.

    If those are the choices on the table, Newt is absolutely the wrong choice for every reason.

    • Mr. EMT

      No. head to head you have to pick neither.

      for starters its too damn early to pick between the the two worst at the bottom of the barrel. If you are stuck in the general against obamao it may be one thing to do what you have to do in the privacy of a polling booth.
      But bailing out on REAL conservative in the field still fighting is bullshit.

      • Anonymous

        That’s why I said head-to-head, and not including the entire field.

        But who is the Great Conservative Hope now? If the primary was today, who do you vote for?

        I refuse to elect another Obama, so for me it’s between Romney and Perry. Honestly I probably pull for Perry since as flawed as he is, he’s the closest to a conservative executive we have…damning the GOP the whole time that he’s the best we could produce.

          Perry? Thank heaven his campaign is dead. The people don’t want another Bush in office, whose presidency is actually run by the vice president because the president didn’t even know where Afganistan was located and other trivial matters.

            Yeah, I’m sure the American people would just hate to go back to 5% unemployment and a good economy.

            We would all rather be unemployed but be able to worship a real genius like Obama, who is the only one to recognize all 57 of these United States.

          • http://www.cavalierx.com CavalierX

            “the president didn’t even know where Afganistan was located ”

            Is it one of Obama’s 57 states?

          • Mr. EMT

            First place his campaign is not dead.
            Newt is going to implode his campaign, he cant last in the spot light especially while engaging in class warfare and making absurd claims such as having ended communism and that calista is the perfect blend of nancy reagan, laura bush, and jackie kennedy.
            Everyone on the right who is against him opposes him for his known record and are busy informing everyone else. Meantime the left is digging up new stuff such as how much tax money he takes from liberal beaurocratic agencies to lobby for their support from GOP rinos.
            Newt is on a death watch and as soon as he realizes it he will do like caint and fly the surrender flag and go back to making a living for telling people what they want to hear.

            Then it will come down to Perry Vs Romney.

            Meantime Perry’s support is rising due to the fact he has the largest conservative support behind him from people such as Marcus Luttrell and Joe Arpaio.
            the FEW reasons that people on the Right incorrectly opposed him are being knocked down one by one.
            No longer can he be attacked on immigration with Joe Arpaio behind him.
            You cant attck him on the TTC with Wayne Christian behind him.
            And thanks to bachmann no one wants to be viewed as a raving lunitic attacking him over gardasil, which his stance earned him support from the cancer and medical community.

            Perry IS THE Conservative Choice, and if you call yourself a conservative and have not realized that fact yet, you can look at my other reply to this thread to find out why or do the digging yourself and figure it out if you know what conservative means.

          • http://www.cavalierx.com CavalierX

            I would MUCH prefer Perry to either Gingrich or Romney.

        • Mr. EMT

          Yup and that is why im not going to be mean spirited on you. I do understand for some people they feel as if there is only one choice and it has to be “the lesser of the evils”
          But that is all the more reason to reload, not retreat.

          I have articulated my endorsement on another discussion forum recently and I am going to post it here.
          But I want you to contrast why I pick my candidate Verses John Hawkins and decide for yourself, if john is really doing his job as a host of a conservative news blog because I feel he is not and his feet should be held to the fire over it.

          Recently since i wrote this, two things have happened. Joe Arpaio has endorsed Perry, something I see a sickeningly lack of cover from conservative news sites, and Marcus Luttrell has come foward to champion for his dear friend, Rick Perry.
          Down the list of reasons, is a link to Red State on what Rick Perry does in his private time and is WELL worth the read to any red blooded conservtive if you have not already read it.
          And with out further fanfair, i present the case for Rick Perry, with the first link being the ad from Marcus Luttrell.

          Flat tax with cap on spending
          Agressive domestic energy program for more jobs

          Strongest voice on Abortion:
          Passed the sonogram bill and defunded planned parenthood in Texas. Due to legislation Perry pushed for and passed, 13 abortion clinics in Texas have been shut down and more will follow.

          Gun Rights:
          Having the stance that there should be no laws restricting the right to bear arms. Perry signed into law Castle Law (the game winner for me personally and why I am a loyal supporter) and further amended legislation to include the law extend to our vehicles and further be allowed to carry concealed with out a permit while traveling with the clear and simple definition of traveling to include going to and from your home to our car and any destination there after.
          Perry is a CCL holder and this 60 second clip with a 5 second response from Perry on gun control is all any conservative needs to know how he legislates the issue.
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OenAw39A0b8

          Taxes
          Perry has signed legislation totally 14 billion in tax cuts, among them a veto on the internet sales tax, and bills signed cutting property and franchise business taxes.

          Government size:
          Perry has signed into law protection against eminent domain and when alerted to the threat of land grabs from the TTC, so scuttled the program and bound by law under scorched earth mandate that the TTC shall never rise again under an name and earned him the endorsement of the highest ranking conservative in Texas, Wayne Christian

          http://texasgopvote.com/2012-presidential-election/most-conservative-state-representative-texas-endorses-rick-perry-president-expla-003248

          Perry has also signed into law several bills protecting Texas against EPA over-regulation and is the worst enemy of the EPA
          http://www.texastribune.org/texas-politics/2012-presidential-election/perry-vs-ep-epic-illuminating-clash/

          When it came to TARP, perry recognized there was a crises and co authored a letter to congress urging them to act and stop passing the buck.
          However, when it came to dipping into tax dollars to bail out, he drew the line where Cain, Newt, and Romney did not:

          AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement:

          “In a free market economy, government should not be in the business of using taxpayer dollars to bail out corporate America. Congress needs to take off its partisan gloves and work together to bring both short and long term stability to the credit markets. They need to stop blaming each other and start thinking about solutions that put the taxpayers of this country first.”

          http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/11363/

          Perrys record includes 2 tort reform bills including the famous loser pays law, 400 million in increased budgets for local law enforcement to secure our border and assigning Texas Rangers to recon the border and do the job the federal government refuses to do.
          Vetoing a bill that would give state drivers licenses to illegal aliens, vetoing another bill that would give official recognition to a mexican national ID to illegals and our state Voter ID bill requiring everyone wanting to vote in our elections to show proof of citizenship with an ID that can only be lawfully obtained by US citizens.

          There is NO ONE in the field who has a record that comes close to matching his for conservative values.
          And when it comes to Perry’s private time and special projects:

          http://www.redstate.com/onemovoter/2011/11/21/the-private-life-of-governor-rick-perry/

          When it comes to distinguishing himself from obamao, again no one in the field with him contrasts more than Perry
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZCorLNHrwE

          Perry is the only one to identify the FED, Social Security as threats to citizens when it drew criticism from the other so called conservatives.
          Perry is the only one who has a tax plan that includes a spending cap.
          Perry is the only one who has a plan and agenda to cut the knees out of establishment politicians and make them actually work for a living and that includes a salary cut to the office of president.

          The only damned things you can throw at Perry is the fact that he CARES.
          HE cares enough to sign a bill into law the Texas Dream Act that had 99% legislative approval behind it that benefits Texas Tax payers, which Reagan Himself would have done.
          And he doesnt want to see kids end up with cancer so he used an Executive Order which carries no weight of law and came with an OPT out to  “Protect the Rights of Parents”
          http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/2292/

          Which was a hell of a lot more conservative than what his loudest critic Bachmann did when she was taking over 140k from drug lobbyists and did not mind her own state issuing a mandate for an STD vaccine that was ordered with out any form of opt out or parental protection measure.

          When I look at what choices Perry has made I can see that he weighed them against “What would Reagan do, and what would our Founding Fathers intended when they framed our government”

          You sure as hell cant say that about cain, newt, or romney.

          Santorum does not have a success record to match Perry and cant even pick himself off the floor long enough to be taken serious. And Bachmanns mouth has made everyone with a brain dismiss her. And Ron Paul does not count as a conservative so im not even going there, the only reason he is on the GOP ticket is for votes and obviously not because he thinks he can win on his own.
          And none of the others have a record of leading and legislating anything close to the scale that the burden of the Office of President of the United States carries.

          Oh and probably one of the most important things that show he is a conservative. Judicial Appointments

          Judge Willett took over his predecessor’s six-year term with 15 months remaining when Mr. Perry appointed him in 2005. He said the governor had chosen judges who reflected his judicial philosophy, which Judge Willett described as “unabashedly conservative.”  Mr. Perry, he said, understands the importance of judicial appointments and would carry that understanding into the White House were he elected president.

          “If you’re president, it’s often your court appointments that seal your legacy with a capital L,” the judge said. “I’m confident Governor Perry gets that, consummately.

           “He doesn’t do squishy. His judicial picks, from the Supreme Court on down, will not be philosophical ciphers, but impeccably credentialed conservative stalwarts who act judicially by adjudicating, not politically by legislating.”

            I think probably in person he has a lot more personality than he comes across with on the big stage.  Its a big flaw in a national politician, and probably didn’t show up at the state level because there’s less pressure and isn’t as nerve wracking.

            Dream act? Nope, that would be newt who favors it.

            The Texas dream act is a separate matter and it favors Texas Tax payers and passed with 99% legislative aproval.
            And I like forced vaccines as much as Washington, Jefferson, and Madison and the Supreme court.

            Not much of a conservative to me if you dislike what Perry did on those two situations compared with what other people claim they would do or did do when facing what he did.
            Come back when you can tell me who Heather Burcham is at least since it is obvious you have absolute and total disregard to what our founding fathers believed regarding vaccines.

            This is the price the GOP paid for overspending and ignoring the base, and getting hosed in 06 and 08. We lost a lot of promising governors in those elections above and beyond the damage in Congress.

            People that are just now getting replaced with up and comers like Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Christie, Walker, etc. We’ll be fine 2016 and beyond I think, but when you lose the farm system, the pro team suffers.

          “If the primary was today, who do you vote for?”

          Bachmann, of course — a consistent, principled Conservative.

          • Mr. EMT

            A consistent principled conservative who lies her butt off representing her issues with obviously absurd yarns to substantiate her correct stance on the issues, panders with promises that dont have a snowballs chance of ever meeting reality such as building two border fences and “redeploying troops from south korea to south texas” and makes hypocritical attacks at her fellow candidates such as accusing Perry of cronyism for taking five thousand from merk while she was taking about 150k in donations from other drug donors including and especially from merk’s only competitor, and attacking newt for having the same stance on immigration she had expressed herself just a few months prior.

            She may have the correct voting record for now, and she may have the correct stance.

            But I dont need someone telling lies about why my beliefs are the moral and legally correct ones.
            Bachmann needs to go away someplace where her mouth is not relevant to her job.

      I disagree.  They are basically a push but for two things.

      First, Romney comes across sleazy and untrustworthy when he says he changed his mind, while Newt comes across as plausible.  I don’t trust either of them – they’re both lying politicians.  But in terms of public perception, Newt wins that confrontation.

      Second, Romney has that health “care” bill around his neck like the albatross and because of that he removes his biggest weapon against President Obama: the incredible resentment and business fear of the federal version.  With Romney in the race, most voters can’t see a clear choice between the two.

    “Why I’m endorsing Newt Gingrich” by John hawkins

    #1 Because as I came to realize over a year ago when I stopped coming to this site, john hawkins is clueless about being a REAL conservative and just pretends to be one in order to get hits to his website with a name eyecatchy to conservatives.

    #2 because John Hawkins is a big believer in talking what he does not walk
    What happened to that guy who bragged about learning shoalin long fist and fighting dirty in the real world and in politics for your beliefs?

    I can go on with a “top ten” list but lists are so damned passe. I know they are john’s forte for making a case but they were old when john kerry had his “X” number points for accomplishing them, mitt is showing what a joke they are with his 59 point “Who cares?” list for fixing the economy, and john will continue to use them due to a lack of passion for the issues he acts like he supports, and lack imagination.

    Deal is I can make an affective case why newt is probably WORSE than obamao. I have been doing it on other discusion forums and I can continue doing so at the drop of a hat.

    But you john, you have ASSUMED the mantle of a watchdog, a shephered for the flock and a lamp in the darkness showing what conservatism is and who promotes and who attacks conservatism.

    And John, you just proved what I knew over a year ago. You are an abject failure at being anything other than a joke to conservatism and this shows it.

    You have only two excuses. Either you are somehow totally ignorant to newt and you did not vet him at all before giving him your endorsement.
    Or you did and dont give a damn because you have no qualifying principles for who you will throw your endorsement to and you want to jump on the bandwagon of who you perceive can “win”

    Oh and for anyone who does not know about newt because of how badly john has failed at his job, I have some gifts of knowledge for you to take or leave as you like. And if you get through half of this and still think newt would make a great president, or that he is someone you should support, dont bother calling yourself a conservative or anything close to it.

    Lets start with 7 minutes of highlights of newt Vs kerry in a lincoln douglas global warming debate so everyone has a clear idea what to expect from a debate with obamao.

      I think if you’re honest you’ll realize that as bad as Newt is… he’s not as bad as Obama, particularly in term 2.

      • Mr. EMT

        And I think if you are honest you will admit that neither are good.
        And if the best thing you can compare him with is the worst thing there is… you are reaching a little too far to justify your logic.

        • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

          Sure, neither are good.  You know that, I know that, everyone knows that.  Its no secret they suck.  But one of them sucks more than the other.

          And you have to look at what we have as choices and ask yourself which would be worse for the country?  Which would do less damage?  Clearly president Obama is the far more destructive choice.

          As bad as all the GOP guys are, they’re light years better than President Obama.

          There’s no reaching here.  Its just the plain, honest fact.

          • Mr. EMT

            But one of them sucks more than the other.

            Yeah, which would you rather eat, a crap sandwich or a turd burger or go hungry?

            Right now im still waiting on Perry to prove his value to everyone since I believe he would be the BEST thing for the nation instead of picking between the two least worst.
            Flat Tax? Spending Cap? Balanced budget amendment? part time politicians? Energy independence? Who else is trying to compete with that or even came up with a plan to accomplish those things?

            When Perry is no longer in the field then I will pick between the worst of the worst of my three options. Sandwich, burger, or go hungry.

            Here is some more food for thought for you.
            Do you think the moderate on the right are more likely to support the conservative choice if their rino is not in the field verses the conservatives to support the rino?

            I would like to think a romney supporter would pick Perry over obamao.. but I could be wrong? Which makes me ask, why are they even trying to pretend to be a republican if I am wrong?

          • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

            Right now im still waiting on Perry to prove his value to everyone since
            I believe he would be the BEST thing for the nation instead of picking
            between the two least worst.

            Of the remaining candidates I tend to agree, but I don’t see him going anywhere.  Ideally we should always reach for the best.  That’s not what we get.  So we have to get the least worst, most of the time.  That’s the crap we’re handed because we as a people have lost our honor, our virtue, and our direction.

            Its not politicians that are to blame.  Its us.  In democracies, the people in power reflect the voters.

        Bringing us back to where John Hawkins would rather bloviate and flagellate on why we need to support newt rather than report that Perry is still gaining support from big conservative names such as Joe Arpaio, Marcus Luttrell, Inholfe… i bet nothing was mentioned here of Wayne Christian’s endorsement which I think is actually more important than Sheriff Joe’s.
        If these people are still standing behind Governor Perry then what the hell is john doing standing against them?

    Okay, let’s just answer the question in your title, which I actually read.

    Could it be that you believe we are still in the Reagan era and Gingrich’s pulling out “racist cards” like the one about Black kids without jobs and the need to dump child labor laws, will get him into the White House? That white northern Georgia voters are typical of the national electorate? Or that you believe Newt’s playing around with women while married will be forgiven by the reigious right? I could go on. The inability of extremists to adapt and compromise will sink Gingrich. The man is unlikeable and nasty and that will come out in the debates, should he be nominated.

    I may read the article later, maybe not. Why bother.

    As someone who really prefers Romney, I find some comfort in your support of Gingrich. 

    My fears about Gingrich is I don’t see him as a leader, and I think he has a huge ego and I think he can be a loose cannon.  This adds up to too much unpredictability for me to support Gingrich.

    It is odd and frightening to me what these next 11 months or 5 years will be like.  I am trying to prepare myself for an Obama victory.  I don’t know how to raise my kids to be happy in a country dominated by Obamunists.  I used to wish that they would grow up to be die-hard liberal marxists, than maybe they would be happy under the regime being constructer, but then I realized that leftist marxists are never happy.

    Yeah, it’s going to be real tough with no Conservative in the race. I may end up voting for Gingrich just to stop Obama, but I sure as hell am not going to be enthusiastic about it. Gingrich is head of the Gingrich party first, and then he’s a Republican, and after that he’ll throw a bone to Conservatives if he has anything left over.

            Also, Obama is shaping up to be able to run as a tax cutter, which surprises the hell out of me, but is nonetheless an objectively observable fact for most working Americans.  He’s going to be able to say that he fought to maintain the payroll tax cut while Republicans fought to make sure most Americans paid more in taxes in 2012 than they did in 2011.   That could steal an awful lot of thunder from conservatives when it comes to winning over middle class moderates.

            On the left side of the fence? Care more about rhetoric than record? I’m sorry but using executive powers to force through a government mandate regarding that which should be an individually made decision or at the very least a decision for the legislature is a left wing position. BTW the crony capitalism charge didn’t just come from the HPV vaccine: “The Post looked at Perry’s top 50 donors, who collectively gave more than $21 million to Perry, and found that 34 received some benefit from Perry’s administration or the state, including grants, contracts and appointments. The donor list was compiled by the nonprofit Texans For Public Justice”-WAPO

            Don’t get me wrong, if Perry wins the nomination I’ll vote for him, and he does have his positives - But it’s a little early to call someone a RINO just because they’re betting on a different horse than you.

            I’m sorry but using executive powers to force through a government
            mandate regarding that which should be an individually made decision

            Supreme court and founding fathers say different, and Perry’s “government mandate” was worded to protect parental rights.

            I find it funny you want to hold it against Perry what the state gave to donors.
            In either event why would someone who has not benefited directly due to legislation Perry has initiated drawing jobs and starting business? Use a little common sense if you arent going to bother looking beyond the surface to find out that all grants pass through 3 seperate legislative panals before being aproved and then must be audited every two years.

            Meantime if that same stick is applied across the board for people who accept money from people who are tied to their legislation you have knocked out every candidate and every politician running for office.
            Donors do not donate to people antagonistic of their own agendas. Duh.
            Thing is that the cronyism charge was leveled at Perry by the candidates over a donation that does not even rank in the top 200 donors.

            And if this is really all you got against Perry while you support the rinos, just bend over and kiss your ass goodbye. Newt is a crony marxist, not capitalist, who has pushed and lobbied for agendas directly antagonistic to the constitution. And when he legislated he was no different.

  • President Friedman

    I understand the appeal of Newt or Romney if your primary goal is to defeat Obama next year.  Those two have the best chance of pulling it off, and some of the other candidates have virtually no chance.   What I don’t understand is how you see Newt as such a clear cut better choice than Romney.   

    • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

      I think he’s marginally better only because of Romneycare.

      • President Friedman

        Well, my main problem with Romneycare is the insurance mandate, and Newt has endorsed that idea in the past.  Currently neither he nor Romney are endorsing it at the federal level, both promising to work to repeal that aspect of Obamacare… so they are equal to me on this issue (equally troubling).

        And that’s the problem;  just like Romney, Newt has been on both sides of most issues.   They are equally suspect when it comes to their commitment to conservative policy (Newt has a history of selling out conservatism, Romney has a history of avoiding commitment to it).  With that out off the table, Romney has fewer character problems in his personal life, and has actual executive and business experience that Newt is lacking.   I think it makes Romney the better candidate of the two, even though it’s sort a coin toss.  

        • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

          Well what I mean is that Romneycare (which he’s never backed off of) really hurts his ability to defeat Obama in the general election.  Gingrich has since repudiated that, so he can actually use it as a campaign point.

          • President Friedman

            C_T, you are giving Newt too much credit here.  He has only backed off that stance very recently, since he started trying to differentiate himself from Romney.     Earlier this year (I think it was in May) I watched Newt on  Meet the Press arguing that a “variation” of mandated insurance would need to be preserved in a post-Obama federal healthcare package.  He will get beat over the head with that interview repeatedly during the general election (and I’m sure that isn’t the only such interview he’s had, it’s just the only one I watcehed), and unlike Romney he doesn’t automatically default to a conversation about federalism when confronted with the issue.    Instead, Newt tries to play the middle ground, saying it is the right policy but hard to implement succesfully.  

          • http://www.wordaroundthenet.com Christopher Taylor

            I am not really giving Newt any credit at all, I’m thinking more in terms of perception and how the Obama team will attack them.  Romney has embraced the Massachusetts plan, Newt has rejected it and that’s as simple as it gets when it comes to the Obama campaign’s ability to defuse the incredibly vast anger there as this bill.

      • Mr. EMT

        Individual mandate being one of the unconstitutional aspects of romney care and being newt’s brainchild.

      Measuring ObamaTurning to the general election
      in Iowa and New Hampshire, President Barack Obama’s approval rating
      remains underwater in both states.
      Forty-three percent of
      registered voters in Iowa approve of his job performance, which is up
      one point from October. In New Hampshire, 40 percent of registered
      voters approve of his job performance, up two points.
      Yet — with
      one exception — he leads all GOP challengers in hypothetical match-ups
      in the Hawkeye State. He’s ahead of Romney by seven points among
      registered voters (46 percent to 39 percent), Gingrich by 10 points (47
      percent to 37 percent) and Perry by 11 points (48 percent to 37
      percent).
      The one exception: Paul ties him at 42 percent for each.

        And if you are a libertarian minded voter, Ron Paul is your candidate in the primaries.  He’s probably who I will vote for.   But let’s be honest:  it would take a miracle for Paul to beat Obama in a national election.   Most likely a Ron Paul candidacy would result in the rise of a third party candidate splitting the conservative vote.   Failing that, the most likely outcome is an electoral map that looks a lot like LBJ/Goldwater in 64.   And that’s the case with almost all of the other Republican candidates, including Perry (he’d do slightly better than Ron Paul, but looking at an electoral map I see no way Rick Perry beats Obama, even if he performs dramatically better as a candidate than he has thus for).  

        So we are mostly choosing between candidates who aren’t very likely to win but will make us feel comfortable with our principles, or sellouts who have a good shot at beating Obama.   That’s what we have to chose from.

        Ain’t democracy great?

          Paul is going to win because of the Blue Republican vote. For the same reason he will beat Obama.

    Interesting that you are again gritting your teeth in endorsing Newt Gingrich.  Why?  Seriously why?  He may be knowledgeable* but far from competent.  Tom Colburn’s Breach of Trust clearly shows why.

    Researching Newt’s past political history, I’ve put him just to the left of Romney, which I know is shocking.  That is leaving out his personal foibles which are bad enough.

    • President Friedman

      Michael, yes, Coburn’s book is pretty damning of Newt.  Newt may share a lot of responsibility for coming up with The Contract With America, but he is also *extremely* complicit in creating the political culture that turned the GOP into the wheeling, dealing, big-spending, unscrupulous party that it was for the decade that followed.  

      Any conservative seriously considering endorsing Newt for President should read Coburn’s book to get an insider’s view of Newt’s leadership style and decision making process.   It does not instill one with confidence.

    I am a republican and Newt makes my skin crawl. As a woman, a republican, and an educated person, I don’t know how anyone sees “conservative”.  He has disrespected women at every turn, he is a hypocrit, and he is a big spender.  Oh, he is a freakin’ lobbyist.

    If that’s conservative, I will sit this one out. Give me the guy married to wife #1, who never appeared with Nancy Pelosi, and who didn’t get fined for campaign violations.

    I guess I am part of the First/Second Wives Republican Club.

    youre an idiot if you think Mr ethics charges, Mr Mandate, Mr.  $300, 000 ethics fine, Mr Fannie Mae, Mt Historian, Mr 3 wives, Mr adulterer, Mr Pelosi, Al Sharpton buddy Newt Gingrich has any chance of winning anythin. Dont we all have  to do a background check at work and guess what, if we were fired from our last job for ethical reasons, WE WOULDNT GET HIRED!!!

    • Dano1881

      the ethics charges were entirely bogus and the IRS said so in 1999, i believe.

      • Mr. EMT

        Oh the IRS backs him up? That cinches it

        By the way the ethics committee was ruled by the GOP majority. Try to overcome the distortions before you start marching out excuses.
        And the 300k fine was an unprecedented amount.

          Newt was cleared on 83 of the 84 counts.  It was obviously a Nanzi Pelosi witch hunt to destroy Newt.

          • Mr. EMT

            considering his hand is being caught now for being in a cookie jar over five years ago, im not going to allow such a gross assumption as that to pass unchecked. Sorry.
            Maybe you are ok taking newt at his word. However his reaction that there is more dirt tells the whole story, “you cant expose me, thats illegal!”
            Furthermore im not aware of any information saying pelosi was in charge in anyway of the ethics investigations.

            Pelosi was involved or she wouldn’t be threatening Gingrich now. Sorry, RomneyCare’s not going to get the nomination.

          • Mr. EMT

            RomneyCare’s not going to get the nomination

            Good?
            I dont think newt is fit to fun for office, and I only barely think romney is unless you get me to thinking about romneycare too much and I realise he voted in an unconstitutional piece of legislation and therefor should not even hold a public office title ever again and should probably be sitting in a jail cell.

            I understand your concerns about Newt–but at least the little bugger fights back.  GWB’s mealy-mouthed presidency left me cold.

            Like I said before–I understand your concerns; but nobody draws leftists’ blood like Newtie!

          Yeah he was punished for something he did.  As in, paid the price.  I don’t know if he’s changed or if he was really guilty of anything or what.  I’m not assuming anything one way or another.

          On that one, I’d have to agree.  I’ve seen the documentary INSIDE JOB which explains who knew what in this whole financial meltdown.  They ALL knew this was coming.  They all knew to the point that every one of the cretins that caused this are now employed by the Feds or have been recently.  Take Bernanke, Geithner, Paulson, Greenspan, among many others that helped Fannie and Freddie sell bad mortgages as securities on the open market and McLame is the biggest crook of all for starting the repeal process of Glass Steagall.  That was the beginning and then Clinton’s CRA was the nail in the coffin.

    I will stay home before I would vote for him it’s the same thing as Obama in the White House.

    It would be a huge mistake to tie conservatism proper to Newt Gingrich.

  • District Attorney Jack McCoy

    I figured you were endorsing him because he’s also a fat, loud-mouth dbag.

      wow, nice e-thuggery there.  feels great to be anonymous on the internetz huh?

  • JK

    Amen.

    Could not have stated it any better.  Is he the preferred candidate?  Hell no.  I would have much rather had Daniels, Huckabee, or even T Paw than Newt.

    However, given the two choices left, Newt is by far the more conservative.  Rommey is a northeastern Republican.  Which is a moderate anywhere else.

    Newt vs Rommey?  No contest whatsoever.  My belief is that most of the primary voting Republican feel the same.  So aside from NH, a NE state, Newt will start to become more and more likely the candidate.   As long as Iowa does not do utterly crazy between now and then.  Or Newt does not have an epic breakdown.

    My only fear is that if he is elected he could very easily give republicans a bad name, although any republican candidate is better than obama, I dont hate him or think he’s an idiot but i think the things he has done is wrong and immoral and blames everyone but himself. Not only that he has basically said if your not democratic then he wont like you. I thought a president republican or democratic was for the american people, not the democratic american people.

    • Brent

      By him I mean Obama not newt.

    I have made a GROSS error in the initial post I made on this article, attacking John Hawkins and need to apologize.

    Not for attacking him over Newt, i am entirely correct about everything i have said about Newt and John Hawkins for supporting him.

    However one of the links I posted was incorrect and instead of sending you to the footage of Newt Vs Kerry global warming debate, it sends you to the ad attacking newt from ron paul.
    Disclaimer: I am by no means a ron paul supporter, but when he is right he is right. However he is dead wrong for being qualified to lead this nation.

    IN either event, here is the correct link to the debate, and my initial post has also been corrected and should now send you to the 7 minute highlight footage of the debate
