SONNY119 in AK , meet Jason in AK....
I cannot believe I share a state, even one as large as Alaska, with anyone so stupid, or ignorant (you are certainly one of the two).
1.) Newt has no morals, no spine, is an establisment puppet for profit, should be in jail before the white house.
2.) Palin is an aspiring female Newt. She was an idiot when she was running for office here and she was a money grubbing swine when she found the spot light and she never deserved that spot light for which she abandoned her constituents. When she was in office she created heaps of controversy by overstepping her office and abusing power and never actually did ANYTHING for this state, all campaign promises untouched.
And the truth shall set you free....

newt is an insider,the current regime is outside,as in always leaving Washington to avoid the heat of battles.Newt knows how to get stuff done,a little compromise and less finger pointing,goes a long way with the opposition,like working with Bill Clinton,as terrible as that may sound to right wingers;but who else are you gonna work with?Congresses will be split for the foreseeable future,till rational people see the folly of liberalism(europe)and embrace American STRENGTH(we aren't WEAK!) Criticize his past marriages if you want to,but the sterile candidate has yet to be invented.

Newt Gingrich Is Not Acceptable
America is looking for a leader with moral convictions, someone who stands on principle and will be respected not only for what he or she says but for the way that person sets an example with their life both in the political arena and in their personal life. All people can make mistakes in their life but most people can recognize when they make a mistake, and will make an effort not to repeat it. This is not the case with Newt Gingrich.
Newt did one of the most despicable things a person can do when he cheated on his first wife when she was battling cancer. This selfish act speaks volumes for Newt's character but it didn't stop there. Newt then married cheater # 1 (the one that replaced the one with cancer) but later did the same thing to her too (less the cancer). It turns out that Newt had his eye on cheater # 2, the one he eventually settled for and is currently married to. This is truly a man with no moral values, and if Newt's poll numbers are going up at all, it is because people do not know this little fact about this pathetic man. How many more women would he have deceived if he had not found his adulterous "soul mate"? But this is just the pathetic stuff about Newt. When you look at Newt (the man), you see only an extremely arrogant man who has somehow convinced people that he is just SO smart. In actuality, Newt may have a fat head but it is not brain matter that is occupying the space. If he really were as smart as he thinks he is, his 1990's "Contract With America" wouldn't have been such a worthless pile of dung. Now, he has pulled the old "Contract" out of the toilet and dried it off, trying to once again put a new spin on his new version of the same watered-down do-nothing plan. The problem is that Newt still thinks that he is living in the year 1994, yet he is still the same neocon establishment puppet that he was then. The only difference today is that he has stolen Ron Paul's playbook and is saying things in 2011 that he wouldn't have said just last year. Newt has resorted to stealing Ron Paul's positions because he knows that they have become popular, when we all know that he is just talking out of both sides of his mouth.
We can not allow this pathetic, lying, mealy-mouth establishment clown to pull the wool over our eyes.
Ron Paul is the real deal! A family man who has been married to his wife for 54 years. A man of good moral character who as an OB/GYN delivered 4,000 babies. A man who does what he says and says what he means. His positions do not change depending on which way the wind is blowing like Newt and essentially all of the other candidates (less Gary Johnson). Ron Paul was right on the economy, foreign policy and everything else he talks about. This election in 2012 will be too important to leave in the hands of someone like Newt. Ron Paul will restore America and bring back the respect and pride that our nation can have once again.
Ron Paul for President in 2012!!

As for Newt Gingrich, 2 reasons for Newt's rise and eventually Nomination, as the Republican Party Presidential Nominee for 2012..

1 - the others are so bad, the dog catcher looks better than these Crony Capitalist Republican Party RINIO elitists, ie; Gov's Perry and Romney.. and the rest, fare even worse.. and 2 - Newt Gingrich, who is the only one with the experience, the knowledge, the intelligence, the skill, the wherewithal, and the guts, to know, see, and actually do something about the problems we are now facing, and the people causing the problems..

So with this current situation in the prospective field of Presidential candidates, Newt is the only one, who stands out as a real serious candidate, who is not a gimmick, that lasts longer than the flavor of the week, for the media to play games with..

After Gov. Palin quit and abandoned America, and her supporters.. again, Newt became the only one left, who could be the President, with real true grit, with the US Constitution as the official and final law of the land as his basis of Policy and conduct., and the only one who can not be turned into an ignorant spineless puppet..

Here's the real question:
What would happen to the ObamaBots if Newt became the nominee and Obama debates newt without the teleprompter?
Newt would nail Obama to the cross with smashed up teleprompter pieces in a debate.
And when this happen would the ObamaBots heads literally explode?
WATCH OUT FOR ALL THE GOOP!
