Comments on: GOP Blast From The Past Polling Well

Newt Gingrich Could Be Well Situated To Woo Highly Prized Conservative Voters

[candojj1]

All of you write sooo much c*r*a*p*o*l*a. You can not put your self in the shoes of a poor man. Nor can you see the soon to be poor man squeezed by his poor decisions of his adjustable rate mortgage and the terrible housing market. Nor can you see the plight of those being squeezed by the predatory banker who, at will, bait the average consumer with low rates only to send them some hidden piece of, what looks like junk mail "opt out" statement which the consumer probably does not see and probably does not understand. Furthermore, few consumers know enough about having to write letters to merchants to dispute a charge (in triplicate) BEFORE contacting the credit card company.
So what do these candidates offer to the average Joe? Absolutely nothing. It was Paul Volcker who tried to put some safeguards into place and without his leadership the country would truly be a gangster driven banker's paradise. However, as it stands, these candidates are just stooges of the most evil empire on the face of the Earth. There is no Luke Skywalker in sight.

Newt is also another Neocon, draft dodging, college professor, never worked a day in his life p.u.s.s.y!

My prayer for Newt: Please, Lord, let Newt get the Republican nomination. I humbly ask this, Lord, because Newt is the personification of the Republican Party itself. He is whiny, self-absorbed, and condescending. He is also preachy, arrogant, and perhaps the ultimate Know-it-All. Even better, he doesn't try to hide any of these qualities. This is who Republicans really are, God, and I pray that you may reveal this to your people once and for all. Amen.

As far as the dems "parading" around as beacons of shining virture (some nonsense like that), do you mean like ms clinton (look up clinton legacy on any search engine),

Prescott Bush (grandaddy): Had assets frozen for giving aid to the enemy (Hitler) during WWII

George HW Bush (daddy): Fomed the 'Carlyle Group' inpartnership with the Bin Laden family. The Carlyle Group has a history of questionable activities for four decades.

Neil Bush (brother): Silverado Savings and Loan. Raked off million$ for himself while the taxpayers bailed Silverado out to the tune of billion$

George W. Bush (decider): LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TO CONGRESS TO LEAD OUR NATION INTO AN UNJUST AND ILLEAGLE WAR WITH IRAQ FOR OIL PROFITS AND TO LOOT THE US TREASURY.


And the list goes on.

Let him run, the neo.cons may get a little misty eye for the GOP good ol' days, but this guy has so much baggage he'd give King Kong dressed as a bell hop a hernia!! We really don't need any more comic relief in the race. LOL

perception5: You are day dreaming again if you think the GOP is moving toward the middle! Guilini doesn't have a chance with the religious freaks! McCain and Romney neither one can make up their mind what they are for or against! The GOP doesn't have the backbone to alienate a large portion of their voting block! A lot of us moderates left in the 80's and have never once looked back as they have gotten more and more radical! I won't vote for them again until they lose the religion, war mongers and the hard core nut cases! That includes the moderates!

[perception5]

Americans will elect a Republican President in 2008. With three strong moderates....McCain, Romney, and Rudy the GOP has three candidates of which any of the three would defeat the liberal candidates currently running.

The GOP party is moving to the center........the DNC is staying to the left in this predominately religous conservative nation of ours.....

........oh yeah and if Congress doesn't get off this "politicizing" of the war against terror and get some legislation passed that fixes some of the problems that we face.........then they will be voted out in 08........

It's truly disturbing at how much the Republican candidates are willing to exploit 9/11, stepping on the deaths of thousands of Americans to boost their campaigns.
It's as if that's Republicans planned it that way. and you don't have to believe in conspiracies too much to see the possible connection.

9/11/01 solidified Republican control for two major election cycles. Like you said, the GOP still uses 9/11/01 for their campaigns.

If it wasn't a conspiracy, then 9/11 was the most convenient event for Conservative/Neo-Conservative Republicans in U.S. history!

[acauble1]

Newt Gingrich is far from the paragon of virtue. Sure, no politician really is, but at least most of the Democrats are parading around as being the shining stars of moral values!!!

If Newt is all the Conservatives have left in terms of popularity status, then you Conservatives REALLY need to come to God more than ever!

I have my mind made up to vote Democrat. I prefer Hillary, but would be willing to vote for whoever wins the nomination in the Democratic Party. Republicans have made too much harm to our country. That said, if it is the Republican Party the one to win in next presidential election, then I would prefer Giuliani to be President. Not that he is good, it is just that nothing would be as bad as McCain if we want the country to re-start and get going again. McCain is merely an unprincipled opportunist. With Giuliani, you know where he stands and that he is for our nation. With McCain the only thing you know for sure is that he is for McCain.
