Newt Gingrich,  President 2012

President 2012: Newt Gingrich for President

I am going out on a limb and today endorsing former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Newt was not my first choice or even my second for the GOP nod, but now, as Sarah Palin says, it is a time for choosing and I am choosing Newt Gingrich.

As you readers know, I have never been a fan of Mitt Romney. I was not a supporter of his in 2008 and found his campaign tactics then, as they are now, reprehensible.

Romney is NOT a conservative, out of touch with most americans and a nominal Republican = RINO (Republican in Name Only). He is a big government, flip-flopping, progressive pseudo-conservative. But, this endorsement is not why I am NOT supporting Mitt Romney.

This endorsement is, why, in my judgment, Newt Gingrich is a candidate for whom I will be voting for in the California June Primary election.

So, why?

I believe, Newt, would fight for conservatives, the conservative movement and people like me from the White House. He would represent me, my children and soon to be born grandchildren. Newt cares about the future.

Gingrich has a vision for American and generates BIG ideas. God knows, we need both.

Yeah, Gingrich has some personal baggage, been wrong on some issues and some foibles. Don’t we all? I mean, after all, look at President Obama, his background in Hawaii and his dysfunctional family.

The question is: who in the Republican field could I see occupying the White House, leading America back to the “shining city on the hill”, while limiting the role of government in American’s lives?

The answer is Newt Gingrich.
