Newt Gingrich is still out there, still working. Every time he comes up with a great idea, we should all be asking ourselves, “How the hell did we have a candidate this good and end up with someone like Romney as the nominee?”
Newt Gingrich went to the NRA and dropped a bomb.
He said that if he were President he would offer an amendment to the UN Charter that would make the right to keep and bear arms a universal human right.
Wow!
Gingrich points out that if that were in fact an enforceable right, there would be a lot fewer people killed by dictatorships, fewer women raped and fewer dictators surviving.
Mitt Romney went to the NRA and offered a generic offer of support for the Second Amendment. Of course, in years earlier Romney had supported the Assault Weapons ban and other gun control measures. But Captain Etch A Sketch is saying what ever he has to in order to get the nomination.
Newt Gingrich understands liberty, which is the most frustrating part about the traction his campaign has not gotten. Newt points out that our rights come from God, not from man. Ergo man is not allowed to take them.
Newt is a man for whom words like Freedom and Liberty are not simply talking points or the punch line for a speech.
As soon as the nomination is officially his, Romney will tack away from the right. He is not a conservative and he believes the people who tell him he must move to the middle.
We will watch with dismay as he does that and if he does get elected, we will watch in disappointment as the conservative ideals he claimed he championed during the primary season are forgotten.
And many of us will be asking why the GOP did not put Newt Gingrich in the White House.

Gail,
You are exactly right. It's bread and circuses while Rome burns - if you can forgive the mixed metaphor. I'm willing to bet that American Idol has more voters than have shown up for the primaries!

Permalink Reply by James Vian on April 14, 2012 at 11:07pm Are you for us or against us Brad? With those having an attitude like yours, yes the party is stupid because you make it so. Grow up! If all we ever had were those like you, you wouldn't have the freedoms you do to support or not to support. Have enough fortitude to stand and at least try to fight the good fight with us, at least that way we can say we tried! On the other hand, maybe you're actually an Obama man just trying to discourage us.
