Moderators John317 Posted September 22, 2011 Moderators Posted September 22, 2011 I like Gingrich, although he wouldn't be my first choice, but I would vote for him over Obama. My first choice now would be Gov. Perry. I think we could see A Perry-Gingrich ticket. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Moderators lazarus Posted September 22, 2011 Moderators Posted September 22, 2011 The problem with Perry and Gingrich is that they don't have the discipline not to say something dumb. Perry-Gingrich would be great! Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

Maybe the current president has the same problem.Served him well as he was elected believing or saying there are 57 states and he had been to them.Does he lack discipline or does he actually believe we have 57 states states.Either way pretty dumb Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman

Dr. Shane Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I don't like Gingrich but I don't think he says any dumb stuff. I think he is well thought-out and quite articulate. A lot of Perry's comments are "cowboy talk". Much of the country may not get that so Perry probably does need to refine his speech a bit. Cowboy-talk, for those that don't know, is tongue-in-cheek stuff that is intended to make a point but not be taken too literally. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Regardless of who gets the republican nomination I would pay to see a debate between Newt Gingrich and the "Telepromter" The smartest man to grace the White House would look as if he were still in kindergarden Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Moderators lazarus Posted September 22, 2011 Moderators Posted September 22, 2011 I don't like Gingrich but I don't think he says any dumb stuff. Sorry, he does it a lot. He's quite entertaining. Remember Libya, Richard Ried. Remember his comments about the Ryan plan. In the political arena, as premier political commentator Michael Kinsley enunciated many years ago, a gaffe occurs "when a politician tells the truth."

Moderators John317 Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Posted September 23, 2011 I don't like Gingrich You mean you don't like his ideas or do you mean you don't like his personality or character? Originally Posted By: Shane A lot of Perry's comments are "cowboy talk". Much of the country may not get that so Perry probably does need to refine his speech a bit. Cowboy-talk, for those that don't know, is tongue-in-cheek stuff that is intended to make a point but not be taken too literally. It has its roots in the Folklore, such as the Tall-Tales, of early America, especially in the West. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Moderators John317 Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Posted September 23, 2011 Who said he is dumb? Actually, Gingrich is a very intelligent man. That doesn't keep him from occasionally saying things he wished he hadn't. But like former president Clinton said recently, Gingrich is always thinking. People who are always thinking do sometimes say things that aren't right, but at least they are always thinking. What are some of the things he's said that you consider dumb? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Moderators lazarus Posted September 23, 2011 Moderators Posted September 23, 2011 Let me re-phrase it so its harder for you to take us down a side road. Gingrich and Perry and prone to gaffes. Gingrich is know for not having the discipline that it takes to be involved in a campaign. Why do you think his staff resigned? Perry's challenges are evident for all to see. Perry has had to walk back his SS comments and even ideas he presented in his book. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.
