Yes
It's everyone else he can't win over. Social conservatives alone will not get anyone into office. I like him but he represents the old, fat, rich, white dude establishment that the sheep in the middle are rebelling against. |

"He’s got a gender problem,” Land says. "His toughest audience is going to be evangelical women. Evangelical men, depending on what Newt does and says, are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt.” Women, on the other hand, have told Land that they would vote for Gingrich "under no circumstances.” If the general election comes down to Gingrich and Obama, they say, they may just not vote. My wife and M-I-L are both "evangelical women" (very much so) and are both thrilled to see Newt doing well in the polls –– they'd much rather have him than Romney, and prefer him to most others in the race as well.  |

At this point it does not matter as they will vote for damn near anyone but Romney. Despite Newt's warts it's his time to shine.
Unlike Cain's stumbling with personal issues Newt does not seem to really give a shit about them though he's guilty of numerous documented "sins". To be honest he's done a great job of fending off media jabs on several levels so-far. They better come loaded for bear in a one-on-one with him. You know he is on the right track when MS-LSD trotted out Barney Frank to call Newt a liar. It was great. |

If he can convince people he will not use his dick for brains he has a serious chance. I used to be a big supporter but he has trust issues that have yet to be restored. Lie to us once shame on you a second time shame on us. I'll wait and see for now and stay off the bandwagon.

But based on the ARFCOM Romney Precedent –– Anyone who supports a gun ban anywhere is forever unworthy of gun owner support –– if we're going to be consistent then this thread should be full of nothing but "F*ck Newt!" and "Obama Lite!" and "NO MORE RINOS!" comments. |

Newt Gingrich is selling the Republicans a line of bullshit right now because he knows what people want to hear. He is the model of a two faced, lying politician and he'll fuck conservatives of every type, (social, fiscal, whatever) right up the ass as soon as he has power again.
Newt is the ultimate smooth talker. He knows exactly what to say to people to get them to vote for him (or give him pussy, as evidenced by his inability to keep his fly zipped) and the dolts are so desperate to be loved that they're buying it hook, line and sinker. He's hypnotizing Republicans with a bunch of smooth talk to get us into the sack, but once he gets what he wants from us he'll get dressed and go home, leaving us naked and feeling used. Newt Gingrich is a piece of shit. |

On many policy matters, Newt is clearly the smartest guy in the room. His problem is he has basically proven himself to be a weapons grade scum bag in his personal life which will come back to haunt him if he makes it to the general election.

Here's the deal. Newt may possibly be, the smartest guy in D.C. I was listening to the O' Reilly Town Hall on the radio two weeks ago. Not only did Bill sound drunk, but he very arrogantly opened his interview with Gingrich by telling him it was pretty much curtains for him.
I was not surprised as I have almost no respect for Bill O' Reilly. Gingrich, then fires right back at O'Reilly and basically says "watch me bitch" and then he shoots to the top. Could it be flavor of the month, desperation, Newt's debate performance? Who knows. But the guy is, IMHO extremely intelligent. He's a morally bankrupt man, that's nothing to be proud of. Newt is not however, a social conservative, which gets him tons of praise from me. I think the man has the potential to make some decent economic decisions. I think he'd be fairly hesitant to wage war, which is a good thing. I think if he could get there, Gingrich could be a really good president. He has serious image problems, but I'm not sure how much that matters right now, the country is really in a bad position. I'd get behind Gingrich if he won the nomination. That's cool. Not my first choice, but Newt I could live with. |

I agree. To not vote is no solution I agree as I stated in a previous post he does have to prove he has learned his lesson. His actions will speak far louder than his good speeches. I consider Daffy Duck a better alternative to Obuma so who ever wins the primary will get my vote no matter how hard I have to hold my nose. I just can't countenance calling those I'm trying to win over names. I prefer the high ground to help the candidate whoever it might be in the end. |

Romney has never been divorced, never cheated on his wife, never resigned in disgrace, never been the focus of ethics investigations. About the only thing he is guilty of is selling out conservatives in order to pander to liberals –– something Newt has also done, in spades, and on the federal level, no less. To claim that Romney is somehow more "slimy" than Newt suggests to me that there is something more visceral about his dislike. |

That's certainly not a great rallying cry..."Vote for me because I suck the least."...but it appears to be all we're getting this year. As for Romney hatred - My dislike for Romney has nothing to do with his faith....it's got everything to do with my faith that the guy will fuck us over on seriously important shit. Both Bushes fucked us over on important shit, too. I see Romney as that, only without the good things Bush did. The very fact that he's the libs favorite R candidate should be sufficient reason to flee from him in terror. |

I'm as fundamental a Christian as they come but Obuma must be replaced with a president who can restore our basic freedoms. Seeing as Romney supported .gov healthcare and a few other things that Obuma has how do I know he won't fold in the middle of the fight to get rid of these things that in the past he supported? I see two candidates with the only difference being a teleprompter? I'm willing to be convinced by actions but not words. Yes, I would like to know my president is sensitive to God's wisdom and if all things were equal except his faith, Mormonism might be an issue but such is not the case. |

Just thought their might be a quick answer. I don't even know what a "traditional" Christian is. Meh.....I really don't care one way or the other. Just another religion to me. I don't pay them much mind till they start blowing shit up or forcing their beliefs on me. Game-on then. |

Newt isn't Obama. Antifreeze is a slower death than Anthrax, but they both kill ya. The trouble is we're not being offered a choice between mana from heaven and putrescent, ecoil-infected, rancid, puss-dripping meat. It appears we're going to be handed a choice between a kick in the nuts or a national beheading. The R field is unpleasant. Of the current contenders, Newt may be the least unpleasant. That's certainly not a great rallying cry..."Vote for me because I suck the least."...but it appears to be all we're getting this year. As for Romney hatred - My dislike for Romney has nothing to do with his faith....it's got everything to do with my faith that the guy will fuck us over on seriously important shit. Both Bushes fucked us over on important shit, too. I see Romney as that, only without the good things Bush did. The very fact that he's the libs favorite R candidate should be sufficient reason to flee from him in terror. Hey, you know where I stand. I'm nor fan of Newt, but next to my guy, he's really the only guy that isn't a drooling fool. Which takes us back to yesterday, which we don't need to do. 
Gingrich could possibly be the guy that everyone could hate the least as a group. Is that horrible? No. Gingrich could literally wipe his ass with Obama in any debate setting at any point in the history of anything, ever. |

Posts like this one are the reason I suspect most of the Romney hate on this site is just Mormon hate in disguise. Do Christians have to "hate" Mormons to not support one for president? There is something in the middle between love and hate and those in that middle ground are not presidential to everyone. My dislike of Romney has as much to do with his Mormonism as my dislike for Obama has to do with the color of his skin... which is to say exactly none in either case. |

There are definitely some Mormon haters on here, like that one guy who gets warned or kicked out of every Mormon-related thread on here.
You can insert any term you want in place of "Mormon", though. Anything you can name has people on here who hate it. |

I really couldn't give a shit because I'm not paying attention to any of them anyway. |

If you want a slime-free candidate, I suggest taking a look at Gary Johnson.
