I believe you better check that out again to see if your statement is all that correct?

.....and see how my views of Newt are about the same now as ever.

I like Newt
newt is a far better voice for the conservatives than Mitt ever will be.

Newt clearly has a set of core views that drive his words and teachings.

So i would vote for Newt over Mitt at this point in a primary.

But the trouble with Newt is the problem all conservatives know all too well...
Newt is always saying and doing things that go too far....

Newt going against Obama in a debate would be fun to see...but Newt attempting to control himself for month after month of a national race?.....thats asking too much of him.

I have always felt that Newt is just one more comment from dropping out of the race.

I cant support a guy that i am always going to be afraid will drop out tomorrow...who could?

Newt is a good guy to have on a team.
Newt turned things around back in 06.
Newt stood up to Clinton.
newt can take a lot of credit for many of the good things that congress did, and also credit for stopping many of the bad things that almost happened.

Newt only issue is that he acts a little crazy at times....his mouth has no "mute" switch.



So to sum up my views about Newt-
I like him.
I like him more than I like Mitt.
I think Newt has a real conservative core that is more real that anything I see out of Mitt.

But Newt is not a person i would really like to see lead the ticket.
The reason is that Newt tends to self-destruct right when conservatives needed him to be at his best.

So, I would vote for Newt over Mitt
But Im not sure I would vote for Newt over Obama....


This is how I feel about him.
I believe this is right in-line with all that I have ever written or said, or believed about the guy.

Now if down the road i see that Newt has turned over a new leaf?
Then I will judge him in a better light.
Im not going to say that "he is always crazy" just because I felt that way at one time...
I would give the guy a chance to improve his standing in my eyes...


I dont believe that we should say to people,,,"A while ago you said once you didnt like him, so how can you say you do now?"

That would be silly...and non-Christian to take an at***ude that once a person falls we wont allow them the chance to do better.

it's like with my friends that get divorced.
I would rather they did not get divorced.
i would rather they went back to their wife and got remarried to them again.
But be that as it may, I will still respect the new wife they have, and i will offer my friend the friendship we had with his 1st wife....

I allow the person to make a real honest change.
