This is why I will never vote for New World Order Newt, he is exactly one of the main things the Tea Party is fighting against: false conservatives.
ReplyDeleteWhen all the so called bloggers get done bashing all the candidates, then out of the confusion who will you vote for , Micky Mouse? Understand that in this country a person at a certain time can make a decision and then change later. This is called evolving into truth which should be respected towards all elected officials. I Know, lets crucify him along with all the rest until Christ who makes the only right decisions rules and reigns in Jerusalem. I perfer to vote for a highly educated man who is an expert in American History then someone who spout off how they are going to change America. Newts last statement on Fox said that it wont be him that will fix the country, but (US) together united as a nation. One man cannot change the country. I rest my case....Now I hope you can rest yours.
ReplyDeleteI would have more confidence in the list if it were presented in time sequence rather than mixed up as it is. I've listened to Newt in recent debates and he makes good sense NOW. How he would govern if elected is not certain, but he wouldn't then be acting as an outsider. And if he acted badly we'd all be sorry. If he acted well, we'd be thrilled. If his present statements are honest and reflect his intentions if elected, then we should give him the chance. I like Mike Huckabee and would rather have him as our president. I admired Herman Cain and feel he is not guilty as charged. I like Perry and wouldn't mind him becoming our president. We had a fumbler once as vice president and that worked out all right. Perry's record in Texas is good. I suspect it would be good if he became our president. But comments like the list above could possibly be made for every candidate. If Newt is chosen, I'll gladly vote for him. Once, and twice if he serves well.
