I think they are trying to put Perry out in front with Romney so that Perry and Romney take most of the heat and the attacks early on. During this period Gingrich can quietly answer questions relating to his past, raise funds, etc. Gingrich's political career really needs no explanation, he's a seasoned politician, statesman, and policy guru. Yes, he has some indiscretions, but in some ways the average American will be able to relate to Gingrich (half of America has been through drama and divorce) . Then as more and more dirt mounts on Perry and Romney, you'll see Gingrich pull into the front of the pack well funded and dignified. All personal attacks will be neutralized by the answers he's quietly provided during this period of the Perry, Romney, Cain hoopla. Gingrich can state he's answered the questions and that it's time to focus on policy. Then... Gingrich can drop kick Obama off the top rope during the debate and beat him half silly with his book, Winning the Future. hehehe

At least... that's one theory I have. LOL

There isn't any dirt to dig up on Perry. Even Bill O'Reilly said Perry is a much more conservative candidate than Romney. Romney has a huge record of flip-flopping and it appears to be true that he will part his hair any way to get elected.

Perry is who he is and hasn't changed. Clinton even agreed that Perry did the right thing on the in-state tuition because the Federal Government makes states educate K-12. What are we going to do with them after they graduate? The Federal Government needs to step up or get out of the state's way on dealing with their borders.

And on the "having no heart" comment Perry made. I attended a Mexican wedding of about 300 people. My husband and I were the only white people present. Really decent crowd, lots of illegals, beautiful bride and groom. I was sitting in the church thinking, "I understand what he means when he says we don't have a heart." If the Federal Government doesn't do something about the border, we have to do something with these people. Some of the children have no identity with Mexico. You just can't send them back. You can't possibly understand what Perry meant unless you live in the middle of it or deal with it on a day by day basis.

And like he said, "No one has a problem with immigration. It's the illegal immigration we have a problem with."

I also agree with how Perry on immigration. Also, you only state that Rick Perry is a decent candidate because he hasn't changed and because he has no dirt.

Personally, I believe that when it comes to overall policy Newt Gingrich is superior to all the Republican candidates. When it comes down to policy, you can't get much better than Gingrich.

He isn't morally superior. I'm not discounting him as a candidate, he is my second choice from all in the running. I just don't feel 100% comfortable with him not moving to the left on some issues. He's done that in the past.

Gov. Perry is the most "consistent" candidate and that means a lot to me in this dirty campaign season.

None of them are "morally superior", they are all fallen and sinful men.

Such is politics. Remember, politics isn't religion. Politics is the art of compromise and hearing the will of the people one represents. For example, in Ohio many Republican leaders are socially conservative... but they are also pro-labor because their constituents are. Many would say that they are moving to the left... not so. They are representing the citizenry. A President should not ramrod a conservative or a liberal agenda upon the people. Every wise President will move to the left or the right based on where the people he represents happen to stand. In some states Republicans are for government health insurance programs. Why? Again, the people they represent are. So I don't see Newt's positions entirely unrealistic. In a nation as vast and diverse as our own... I see it as realistic. He'll get things done by compromising when necessary for the greater good and will of the people.

It's always the unbending branch that breaks in the wind. Sometimes this can be a sign of ignorance, stubborness, and pride. I don't want a leader who always thinks he's right and never reconsiders. Frankly, some previous Presidents have "stuck to their guns" to America's hurt when they should have compromised for our greater good.

I believe a good leader knows where to find balance in order to get things done and the country working and advancing again. I think Newt can do this. Newt managed to enfluence Congress for the good during the Clinton Administration. Both the Republican Congress and Clinton learned the art of compromise. And we saw prosperity and advancement. Clinton takes all the credit... but he can't. In fact, Clinton's economic policies often angered those on the left because he often compromised with the right. Why? They were right on various issues. The Right isn't always right... and neither is the Left always wrong. A wise man can indeed discern when each side is right and when each side is wrong on the issues. So, I'm not troubled by Newt's being willing to consider the validity of the other side. After all... it's about what's best for America... not what's best for a political agenda.

I would be very surprised if Newt could get more than 10% of the women in this country to vote for him.

LOL

Clinton was nearly adored by women for being "all too human".

I highly doubt the women of this country will want to vote for Obama.

Do you really think American women will vote for a man who wrecked the nation and has drawn out one of the longest economic recessions over a policy genius who architected the Contract With America that helped to bring budget surpluses and increased jobs and manufacturing... just because he had some personal issues with regards to women in his life?

Jeeeeshhhh.... I'm starting to think many would vote for Judas over King David because he had his issues with women. lol

Listen to Gingrich...

Is it me or did it not take much time at all for Perry to prove he's not very bright? lol

The most anyone can really have against Gingrich is that he was into the ladies. The rest is political fodder and opinion. America knows that Newt sowed his oats. And in spite of all of that Newt is still a very popular political figure. I call it the "Clinton Effect". Newt will defend conservative values, conservative philosophy, and be a strong international leader who is tough on our enemies... but he will not do it with the hypocrisy of a "moralist image". He's a sinner, like the rest of us... but he wants to make a positive difference for our nation... and he's very capable of doing so. I liken him to David. A man who was a great leader... perhaps the greatest... a man who was a man of faith, a man after God's own heart... but given to normal human weaknesses.

I would stand proudly by Gingrich any day.
