Draft Newt at Convention?

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com

If the primary season reveals no decisive front-runner, and if conservative delegates head toward the GOP convention with the nagging feeling that our best candidate wasn’t in the race, we urge them to consider acting on what so many Republicans and Reagan Democrats are thinking. Drafting Newt Gingrich is a real solution to the current leadership problem. Even as a vice presidential choice, Gingrich would solidify the ranks and reinforce the GOP’s position as the party of bold ideas, but as a presidential choice he could bring about a truly needed Second Reagan Revolution.

By Perry Atkinson and Bob Just

McCain is simply too distasteful to me, too liberal, too much for compromise, too little a conservative. So, why not put out a call to all conservatives to try and deny McCain the nomination and wait until the convention to draft Fred and Newt? That has to be a better solution than Juan McCain!

Anyway, I think it is an idea worth considering!

I don’t think newt is electable, nor have his ideas since leaving the House been all that good.

If we’re to draft someone, why not Fred!?


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Why couldn’t a person named Juan be President.

McCain has a guy named Juan Hernandez on his staff…

Dear little friend Whistler, I will try again in a language you can better understand:

Even though the original story was just about Newt, Mr. Neiman said: “Draft Fred and Newt”

So, my little friend Mr. David did mention Fred.

So, my little friend Fred’s name came first.

So, my little friend when the adults have two grown up men running for the President’s job in far away Washington, the first name is the guy that will play President and the second name is his helper, what we call a Vice President.

Last my little friend, we can even draft a horse if we want to or a horses ass like McCain, but not only did Mr. Neiman say Mr. Fred could be drafted, Mr. Nieman also said he could play the part of the President, okay? All clear now?

Now finish your milk and Graham crackers because next is nap time, okay?

Juan McCain is a playful name conservatives I know use for McCain because he wants amnesty for criminal aliens having come to this country without being invited. It was a freaking joke, a twist on his freaking name “John” for reasons of amusement. I am sorry I didn’t include a million freaking smiley faces to make sure ya’ll got the damn joke!

Sorry I didn’t ready fully. 

But I don’t think Newt would help the ticket. 

Besides generally you would only draft the top of the ticket who nominates his own VP.

I knew it was a Joke, that doesn’t make it less offensive.

I got it and I assumed it was referring to McCain’s support for illegal immigration against the wishes of the electorate.

Whister: I was teasing you, did you not see the smiley faces? I went out of my way to include smiley faces and last, the idea was to fight for a brokered convention, not for Newt.

I knew it was a Joke, that doesn’t make it less offensive.

Offensive to whom, the millions of criminal illegal aliens that should be arrested, driven at warp speed to the border and rudely deported? If so, I don’t care! We have been invaded by a horde of illegal aliens, our national sovereignty is a joke and Juan McCain wants to say, “Hey that’s okay, pay a fine we’ll legalize you and enroll you in the Democrat Party. No need to learn English, no need to adapt to our culture and no need to earn benefits, hell we’ll grant you more benefits and rights than natural born citizens” and I hope I offended every one of them including McCain.

Whistler: I am headed back for work, but I have always liked you here at SA, I would never say anything mean spirited to you, it is just my perverse sense of humor that I couldn’t just say you missed my point, that would be too boring, so I was just having fun at your expense.

Don’t worry about it.  No offense taken whatsoever.

Newt?  I strongly want to believe he’s truly repentant for how he treated his ex-wives, but reality is that even if Newt is truly repentant and it’s not a real character issue, the media won’t let it die if he’s drafted as a candidate.  He’d be slaughtered.

Plus, he’s a little bit too much of a fan of government for my taste.  Beats Hillary or Obama in my book, but that’s not exactly saying much to me.

Some are getting too focused on Newt, when the thing to focus on is how to get a brokered convention rather than be stuck with McCain.

Are you talking about the ’68 convention?

He was purrty good at getting out of the draft back then, I’m sure he will find a way to get out of this one.

On the other hand, he does have a big back side…perfect for drafting but do you think he can actually get up to a decent speed?

Oh to have a Newt/Rudolf ticket! Visions of sugar plums!


Excuse me, you were saying?

Draft who you want. It doesn’t make a difference.

You support the party of war, of greed, xenophobia, and bad ideas.

America has matured and left you behind, choking on your own hatred and anger.

Besides---you need to remember that the Republicans are NOT vying for the presidency.

They are vying for the pleasure of getting stomped like a narc at a biker rally by either Mr. Barak or Ms. Clinton.
