Gingrich Tells ABC News: ‘I’m Going to Be The Nominee’

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

Next year's elections will be a wake-up call for the RNC, a clear message of the American people that putting a bunch of wackos into the spotlight was a serious move in the wrong direction.

The Republican party used to be a party of conservatives who oftentimes disagreed with liberal politics, but they still used common sense and voted for what's good for the country and the American people where it was appropriate. All this has changed. Now that there's a black dude in the White House their only objective is to hurt him as much as possible, even if it hurts the country, the economy, and the American people even more. Since not all Republican voters are stupid right wingers, Rednecks, or Christian fundamentalists, the Republican Party needs to reevaluate its strategy. They won't be able to prevent Mr. O's second term and all-the-while the social unrest grows and the American people become more and more disenfranchised. Like a drug addict, they have to hit rock bottom before they can get better. Looks like they are only a year or two away from that.

Palin or bust for me!

So you are discussing the realtive merits of people you will not vote for anyway because they are Republicans.

Which one will you NOT vote for most?

Did you ever vote for Republicans?

I won't vote for any of this crop, won't vote early, and won't vote for them often. However I have voted Republican in the past, largely for local rather than national Republican candidates, but there has been absolutely nothing about a single one of the side show freaks the Republicans have thus far put forth for Presidential candidates which would lead me to even be tempted to consider a single one of them.

Reagan is NOT to be found within this bunch of buffoons.

I have never voted in the U.S., save for the city council past month, simply because I couldn't.

But I'm an independent, share some ideas that are rather conservative and others that are liberal. I do not vote along party lines, because I do not belong to any party and don't want to belong to any party. I will vote for that package that seems to provide this country with the least damage, and that will be Mr. O next year. I have zero problems voting Republican if they present a candidate that is not a total wacko.

But let's look at that package, simplified:

Republican:

Pro war, including Iran

Full corporate power

Less taxes for the rich

No health care for the middle class

Stand on illegal immigration unknown

Democrat:

Still pro war, Iran excluded

Somewhat less corporate power

Less tax breaks for the rich

Somewhat affordable health care for the middle class

Pro DREAM Act, yet record deportations, twice in a row now

While almost all current politicians are members of the Corporate Party of the United States, and I don't like the mandate to purchase private health insurance, I am still convinced that voting for Mr. O. is the lesser of two evils. He's not my favorite, not by a wide shot, but none of "the others" come even close.

So what is your opinion about if you do not vote and would not vote for Republicans if you did? I may as well say "I do not like PING golf clubs" Or "PING golf clubs suck" What does it mean? Nothing. I am not going to buy ANY golf clubs so who would care what I think?

Seems like most of these threads discussing Republicnas are nothing but Dems who won't vote for the anyway.

I never said he was.

Now that Cain has been run off, I will vote Libertarian again. It really makes no difference now. The nominee will be Gingrich or Romney and they are both just slimy politicians and cannot possibly do anything better than Obama, nor do they have any desire to. I am not going to hold my nose and vote for one of them.

Reagan was the last Republican I voted for for Pres. I have been voting Independent or Libertarian since. Even though doing so handed the election to Clinton..TWICE, I do not care. George HW Bush had proved himself nothing but a go along politician and you can be SURE Bob Dole was. George W was just a buffoon.

The economy will eventually rebound and it will eventually collapse again, because as long as we refuse to address the core problem of funding the government with tamper proof revenues, this will continue to happen as each party manipulates people for their own purpose.

Cain dropping out will favor Gingrich. Look for him to take a big jump ahead of Romeny and he will beat Romney in the first few primaries at least
