Gingrich is an ESTABLISHMENT STOOGE.
He is OWNED by PAC money and the banks.

Ron Paul IS NOT OWNED by the establishment or banks.
Ron Paul believes in the Constitution.  The others do not.

The Senate is voting on a bill today that, if passed, would make anyone who owns a firearm, possesses ammunition, or has more than 7 days of food stored in their home, A TERRORIST.

This is 100% fact.  Look it up.  S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act.

Gingrich supported this bill.  Ron Paul DID NOT.

Newt cheated on 2 wives and then left them for his mistress.  The second time he did it, his wife was dying of cancer in a hospital.  Recently, in an interview, he admitted to making some bad choices, but said it was all due to the stress that was caused by his deep and passionate love for his country.

Yet he preaches morality and promises to help restore the moral fabric of our country.  Sounds like the right man for the job!

How can any decent person feel comfortable supporting such a low life.

This country is in a tailspin headed for a crash.  If voters are guileable enough to put corporate-beholden, dyed-in-the-wool politicians in office (like Newt) then the crash is almost a foregone conclusion.  Ron Paul is not beholden…does not and will not lie or otherwise speak candy-coated rhetoric… honors the Constitution… and has a solid plan to pull us out of this tailspin.

This election is a watershed moment in the history of the U.S..  I believe that Dr. Paul is the only hope for this country to remain viable and respectable.  Anybody else—-regardless of party—-will only carry on the current practice of lies, deception and special interests who BUY their votes and corrupt our government.

Barack talked about change…even promised it…but didn’t deliver….because it was just that….talk.

Dr. Paul can be relied upon for more than just talk…he has a proven track record and has unquestionable integrity.  Name me another politician that qualifies for those qualities?

Ron Paul 2012 !!

Wow…..your definition of “Christian” is a bit different from mine.  See comments by “Native”.  They are true—Newt cheated on one wife while she was dying of cancer.  Newt was my representative when I lived in Georgia.  His Contract with America where he promised to eliminate some government agencies—not only were they not eliminated, but they grew in size.  Yes…..he makes fun, outlandish comments in the debates, but he doesn’t seem to live up to promises.  Not to American and certainly not to his wives.

So Newt has emerged as the leader of this group of clowns who are seeking the republican nomination. The only one in this group who is not a nut, womanizer, or big business stooge is Huntsman, and he barely registers in the national polls. Hope all you conservatives are ready for four more years of Obama. Maybe Palin will get back in, won’t that be fun then.

Anyone of the current and/or possible candidates opposing obama would be a step in the right direction.  A big step.

A Newt nomination (and rejection of Romney) would at last put an end to the myth that the GOP stands for family values.
It would also affirm that the party faithful in today’s GOP have a religious bigotry just as strong as their racial one.

Gingrich is supposed to meet with Dumba$$ Donald Trump today.  I’m rather happy about that because so far, all the candidates that have met with him….....Cain & Bachmann, have seen their numbers PLUMMET, and/or have left the race for the nomination.  Go Gingrich…....hope yer next, ya globalist SHILL..!!!

Ron Paul’s poll numbers have been ELIMINATED from reporting in mainstream media because he is always in the top TWO spots.  The lefty-owned media don’t like that.  The GOP don’t like it either.

Ron Paul believes in the Constitution.  Obama and Congress just ERASED Posse Comitatus in reference to the military operating as a SECURITY FORCE INSIDE THE U.S.  This is against the law.

Also, the Constitution, and the U.S. Supreme Court stated that BOTH PARENTS of a U.S. citizen attempting to gain office of the United States must be U.S. CITIZENS.  Obama’s dad was NOT a U.S. citizen, therefore, Obama is NOT ELIGIBLE to be the POTUS.

It’s THE LAW.  Look it up.

NO matter who/whom is elected…..I hope they draw the lines on immigration…to stem the
flow of people & foreign made items. Both are making us drown in our bitter tea. Foreign
immigrants are over loading the social welfare system in most all states and then add in the
imports of manufactured goods….the values that made the USA a good place to live…are
being erroded away & away each month.

JCW, you are really out there dude!.  So I keep seeing that folks are saying because of
Obama’s daddy not being a US Citizen that he is not allowed to the President.


So what about

Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) is the only president born of two immigrants, both Irish.

Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), whose mother was born in England,

James Buchanan (1857-1861) and Chester Arthur (1881-1885), both of whom had Irish
fathers,

Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) whose mother was born in England.

Herbert Hoover (1929-1933),mother were born respectively in Canada

Its even worse then that.  He was cheating on his wife while spearheading the
impeachement proceedings against Bill Clinton, while preaching family values.
and now he wants to be President, can you believe the nerve of this guy.  I would never
vote for a Newt.

Once again, JCW, you’re dead damn wrong.  This time it’s with you blithering birther blather.

Let’s review, Article 1, Section 2 of the Const:

“No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the
Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any
Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years,
and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

I don’t see any mention of 2 parents, do you?  Nope.  Somehow, the birther bozos have created
that out of whole cloth and magic dust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause_of_the_U.S._Constitution

“Status as a natural-born citizen of the United States is one of the eligibility requirements
established in the United States Constitution for election to the office of President or Vice
President. This requirement was an attempt to allay concerns that foreign aristocrats might
immigrate to the new nation and use their wealth and influence to impose a monarchy.

The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been
offered over time regarding its precise meaning. The Congressional Research Service has stated
that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who
is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship “at birth”
or “by birth,” including any child born “in” the United States (other than to foreign diplomats
serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born
abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.[1]

The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several decisions of the United
States Supreme Court and lower courts dealing with the question of eligibility for citizenship
by birth, but the Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question of a specific
presidential or vice-presidential candidate’s eligibility as a natural-born citizen.”

Let’s read that last part again, “but the Supreme Court has NEVER directly addressed the
question of a specific presidential or vice-presidential candidate’s eligibility as a
natural-born citizen…”

Also, JCW: As to your other “Liar, Liar, pants on fire” claim that Paul is ALWAYS in the top two
spots in the polls.

Not so much,

You’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts, JCW.  You really need to keep that
in mind before posting.
