I already explained it. You are free to agree or disagree.

yeah - I just don't get your explaination.

You have a weird way of parsing your judgements

Newts knowledge is scary. Very intelligent, presided over congress in one of this nation's best times, and incredibly experienced. 240, I agree with nearly everything you said in this thread (wow!).
IMO, Newt is the most qualified person in either party to be president. I always thought he'd be crucified because of the marital affair (and preaching family values) so he avoided running, thats a tough one to swallow but right now many can look past it because of the state of the union and the direction Obama and Pelosi are taking the country.

If Obama doesn't turn things around by 2010 (and doesn't stop putting us in debt!), its ripe for a strong conservative leader like Newt. He is not a right wing loon. He's incredibly smart and worked well with moderate democrats to get things done in the 90s. I still don't think he'll run but he'd have my vote. I've listened to his ideas the last few yrs on debate shows and am completely impressed with him. More impressed than anyone else that I can think of on either side.

BB, I'm baffled.

You would prefer someone who is marginally qualified (Palin) be elected because she's "all religious n stuff".

You would choose her over Newt, probably the smartest person in DC and certainly one of our shrewdest national leaders... because 15 years ago, he put his weewee someplace bad while he was running a partisan witchhunt?

Look, the President gets to carry the nuclear football and can start wars, holy war, economic wars, and all sorts of other messes.

If you had to punch a name on a ticket for President - BB and everyone else - Would it be Palin or Newt?

No disrespect to BB but Palin and Newt are in different leagues.

Please run, Newt!

As opposed to Barry's "progressive" ideas which are shit and are going to ruin this country.

Post the quote from me where I said I would prefer Palin "be elected because she's 'all religious n stuff.'"

No disrespect to me, but thanks. I never get offended by stuff posted on the board. And just to clarify, I never mentioned Palin. That's just 240 making stuff up (again). Palin doesn't have anything to do with whether Newt runs for president in 2012.

Wow, you're too timid to answer this one.

Instead of just saying which candidate you'd choose (so we can learn your position of qualifications vs. religious positions and actions), you dodge it.

Come on, you're better than that. Take a stand. Which person would make a better president - Newt or palin, beach bum?

you were doing really well for a while.

suddenly you can't say whether a 1-tem governor would be as strong a president as a man who ran congress for a decade.

You were doing pretty well for a while, telling the truth and all, then you reverted to just making stuff up:

And why the heck do you care so much about who I'm potentially going to vote for in a primary election nearly four years from now??

I know enough to know he is a human shitstain.

Newt is soooo 1995.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:19:32 AM »

I bet most people would love it to be 1995 as far as the economy goes. The mid 90s were a very good economic time. Clinton/Gingrich combo worked well. A hell of a lot better than Bush/Pelosi and Obama/Pelosi.

Wow, you're stuck reading from the McCain playbook circa summer of 2008. I hate to break it to ya' son, but McCain got his ass kicked on November 4th. That show failed at the box office. You might want to try something new. Oh, I know!

You can follow Obama's plan an be on the right side of history!

That's okay, I'm not a big fan of Barry tanking the economy further, creating a Socialist environment and supporting people who won't even try to support themselves. Maybe if Barry ever held a real job and worked among constituents who did the same he would realize redistributing wealth is a stupid idea. It took him a little over a month to create dissent within his own party. Your boy Barry is putting his agenda ahead of the good of the country, because the two sure as hell don't coincide. He knows he has until the 2010 elections to pass his stupid ideas and it doesn't look too good right now.
