He said last week: "I don't want to bloody [Obama's] nose, I want to knock him out.” A Limbaugh listener recently said: "What I really want, Rush, for our side is to have somebody in the White House who is gonna be a street fighter for us, not the class president." Newt's thuggish bombast appeals to such voters.<br /><br />But I doubt it appeals to independents, and they decide national elections.Mark Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022137257615203375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8697060800242665861.post-59725829514819703162012-01-23T16:22:27.725-05:002012-01-23T16:22:27.725-05:00Something that I have issue with is that many don&...Something that I have issue with is that many don't call him on his "morality" because they believe him when he says he has asked God for forgiveness. When he told SC that what they needed was someone who could defeat Obama and that he was it, Newt wasn't lying. Only Newt would attack with whatever means at his disposal to beat Obama and he will be best at deflecting any critisms as well. Romney has already starting talking out against Newt's history, but I'm sure Newt won't loose any sleep because he knows he can fight dirtier than any other canidate and he has been shown that the voters want that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00078542280298489457noreply@blogger.com
