The unemployment rate always drops at this time of the year because of the extra work involved with the holiday season, hopefully it contiues to decline but that is unlikely. The mechanism to end the Iraq war was in place before Obama took office. Bin laden is dead, Obama just happened to be in office when he was killed. The only credit there is continuing the policy of finding him. He will not shred Newt in debate because he has neither the intelligence or speaking skills.

Your wrong on all counts to some degree or another.

While this might not be the choice of the Tea Party if Newt is the candidate they will vote for him.

A loose cannon sometimes hits the mark, but ALWAYS kills the gun crew. And sometimes, a loose cannon also takes out the rest of the firing deck as well.

A most apt metaphor for Mr. Gingrich, who has already blown his own party out of the water once. Nominate him at your peril.

You do realize that BOTH parties have to go throw essentially the same primary process?

Not vetting your candidates caused us to have Obama and look what that did? It has nearly destroyed America because liberals should have went with Hillary instead of the bystander.
How was Obama not vetted? Anyone who paid the slightest bit of attention knew what he was about.

Did Hillary get more votes then Obama? I cannot remember but I thought she did but liberals pushed through the idiot we are stuck with right now.
If she received more votes in the primaries, she would have been the candidate...that simple.

Pretty damn good actually, especially considering the alternative.

Obama I think would run and hide from a debate with him. Unless of course he can hand pick the questions before hand.

What I am watching is the liberal whacks to push the personal issues instead of staying on the interest of the American people which is jobs and security.

Then Newt would easily bring up Obama past, I mean his hidden locked up past. He wont be easy on him like McCain was in 2008.

Game over.
Seriously, who is buying this ****? Certainly not anyone with a brain.

Newt is an attack dog, and not a particularly good one at that. He's aggressive and likes to throw around alot of stupid buzz words like communism and socialism, but he's not very eloquent. He also gets flustered very easily when someone fights back, and to the vast majority of Americans who aren't total idiots, he'll get nothing more than an eye roll with his claims of leading the charge against socialism. Compound that with the fact that he'd be lining up against one of the most skilled politicians, orators and debaters in recent history, and you have a recipe for disaster. Attack style politics don't work too well on Obama.

Oh, and considering that you're likely to hear alot of talk about "tightening the belt" in the coming election, who do you think the American people will buy that from? The guy who came from very meager beginnings and went to Ivy League schools on scholarships and student loans, or the guy with a jewelry charge account worth more than the average middle class family home?

We got Obama, the worst in our lifetimes.

So are you against the open look at many candidates or are you for just tossing a dart at a target like you did in 2008?
Not a thought but an observation. The candidates have all the opportunity in the world to work it out within their own Primaries and then the winner takes on the candidates from from the other Parties, THAT is the way it works and if yoiu cannot bet out the candidates within your own Party then you have not earned the right to debate anyone.
YOUR OPINION, many disagree.

Your boy Newt has to win his bracket (GOP primaries) before he gets to the championship level. If and when he makes it, the president will be there to dismantle his weak flippety-floppishness.

I cannot wait for this entertainment. Basically you have someone who actually made a difference in Washington in Gingrich debating someone who is weak and ineffective as well as an empty rhetoric. A simple search of YouTube will show Obama saying certain things and then doing another completely different thing. Obama couldn't debate his way out of a wet paper bag let alone have any original ideas that he could rationally discuss with Gingrich. I also have a feeling that Obama is afraid to debate Newt simply because he knows he would be so exposed and would lose so badly there is no way he could improve how people see him (which is pretty much a very negative light across the country).

Lightbulb Newt Gingrich To Obama: Let's Debate, You Can Use Your Teleprompter

Newt does look smart when he's sharing the spotlight with Bachmann and Perry, no doubt. He hasn't made it past Romney and Paul yet, though. If he's still out front in 2 months, then all of you Obama haters can fantasize about how your chubby chickenhawk hero will run the president out of town.

I imagine that the president's advisors are licking their chops at the prospect of Gingrich stepping onto the debating stage with Obama. Realistically though, it probably won't happen. Most likely, Gingrich will fade and it'll be Romney matching wits with the president.

But look at the bright side...

You Obamaphobes will have four more years to vent your hatred.
