I was at this event. This man is simply brilliant. I hope he is the nominee because he would make Obama look like a kindergärtner in the debates. There is absolutely no doubt that he would be able to turn this country around.

i like newt gingrich but i believe Ron Paul would be a better president and would also own obama in a debate like newt would. plus, Ron is the only candidate that has offered a real plan to balance our budget right away

newt knows he has no chance of winnig. he is part of the old guard, and simply trying to ensure the republican debates are framed correctly

@thomasjefferson6 I agree with you and I would further state that Pres Obama is not the present danger to freedom. The danger is the existence of a growing populous that would elect such a man to such an office. The Bible (Dan 2:21) tells us that God removes and sets up Kings. I pray the God hears the prayers of the people who are praying for Jerusalem. I pray that a new season will come and God sets up Newt for 2012.

The proposals that Mr. Gingrich makes in his new Contract with America seem, in many ways, to be very radical, but that is only because America has drifted so far away from its roots, founded in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The greatest internal threats to what America is all about are the Academia and the dictatorial judges who claim (falsely) that the Supreme Court is supreme over the other two branches of government and over all aspects of American life.

@Requinix17 His specific words were, and I quote, "See, I knew you couldn't resist on that. I'm not going to answer. I think that you should-- you should really go home and think about why you even asked that today." I find that very condescending. But it's obvious we're of two minds about him, so I'll just let it go at that.
