Who is the Real Rino

I would not be upset if Paul was elected but he is no doubt a RINO.

 

I have not seen anything to indicate that Newt is not conservative. Mitt is questionable.

Ron Paul’s Outstanding Conservative Credentials

 

Have you listened to Newts explanation of his appearance with Pelosi or are you just wanting to condemn him because he is not RP?

 

There is nothing here that indicates Newt is not a Conservative. People really need to think things through rather than compile lists without context.

 

I would like to see the full context of this.

 

You're a big girl, go google it if you're really, really serious about wanting to peruse it.

Then come back and tell us what you found.

 

If you are going to criticize it and cannot place it in full context then your position is not all that credible. Is it?

 

My experience with RP supporters is that they see vague descriptions of the positions of other candidates and jump on them without a any clear context. Their responses are often not very well thought out and are mostly based on emotion much like the left wing. While this is not all of them it appears to be the larger portion of them.

Just posting a single sentence of someone's position should never be evidence enough to make a judgment. Much like scripture context is very important.

 

In reference to Newt supporting the New Deal it seem the left disagrees:

Q: So why did Newt do the ad with Nancy Pelosi in 2007 calling for action to address climate change?

Through his entire career, Newt has supported pro-market, pro-entrepreneur, innovative solutions to our environmental challenges, which he believes are superior to the liberal pro-bureaucracy, pro-tax, pro-regulation approach to the environment.

Newt believes that conservatives cannot be absent from the conversation about the environment and instead that conservatives must offer and explain why conservative solutions are better. Unfortunately, the attempt to get that message out through the ad with Nancy Pelosi failed. On November 8, 2011, Newt told FOX News’ Bret Baier that doing that commercial with Pelosi was “probably the dumbest single thing I’ve ever done”.

In the 1990s, Newt and many other conservatives, such as the Heritage Foundation, proposed a mandate to purchase health insurance as the alternative to Hillarycare. However, the problems outlined above caused Newt to come to the principled conclusion that a mandate to purchase health insurance was unconstitutional, unworkable and counterproductive to lowering the cost of healthcare.

In response to the host’s hypothetical question of whether Republicans should change Medicare even if there is public opposition, Gingrich’s response was no you should not. One of Newt’s basic governing philosophies is that government should offer a better alternative to existing entitlement programs that seniors can freely choose. Gingrich is opposed to any political party imposing dramatic change against the consent of the governed. Afterwards, Newt quickly admitted that his choice of words was too extreme, and he apologized to Congressman Ryan shortly thereafter. Newt regards Paul Ryan as one of the biggest innovators in Washington, D.C. and he deeply admires the seriousness and boldness of his historic Path to Prosperity budget.

Context is always important instead of just relying on sound bites. Doing so does not address the issues fairly and with Christian grace.

 

Well, a couple thoughts about the GOP race and candidates to choose form. I think that there is frustration with the candidates, by some. At the same time feel Charles Krauthammer, in his piece today is correct, we should go with the hand dealt. The choices available are better than the other option of having another 4 years of Obama in the White House.

From his article:

Thought that Dick Morris article from yesterday was nice also. Conservatives need to be weary of an unfriendly MSM, and additionally politicians that do their best to influence GOP picks.

Um, hate to break it to you, but your "big girl" is a dude... :laugh:

 

Riddle me this, what do you call a person who accuses another of breaking a rule then turns around and breaks a rule?

Unless the rules have changed, quadruple posting is breaking a rule.

BTW, Ron Paul has many years of real clear context on record. Why would you need his record explained to you by someone else? My experience with globalist backers is they think double talk will dazzle everyone into a stupor. The other candidates are in the pockets of the big banks and corporations, this is clearly evident in their actions who needs to see vague discriptions of their meaningless positions after being witness to all that?

 

What in the world are you talking about?

 

.....why doesn't 'the dude' tell me that herself?
