My GOP Endorsement

Well the race for the GOP nomination is heating up and no matter what the pundits and the establishment tells us, there is a long way to go after Florida. This primary is a referendum of the GOP establishment. Conservatives are sick and tired of the establishment shoving down our throats moderate RINO’s as presidential candidates. They did it to us in 1996 with Bob Dole and again in 2008 with John McCain, they both lost. They are trying to do this again by anointing Mitt Romney, which has done more to hurt his candidacy than anything.  It is time for conservatives to elect the most conservative candidate in the field and nominate him for President, because unless Obama pulls off a Kennedy style election result throughout the country like JFK did in Illinois in 1960, whoever the GOP nominee is, that person will be President in January.

With that said I am endorsing Newt Gingrich as the GOP nominee for President. I feel he is the best of the group that is left running and while his personal life is better compared to Bill Clinton than that of George H.W. Bush, I feel that his track record as a Congressman and as Speaker of the House is far more conservative than Governor Romney and far outweighs what has happened in his personal life, especially given that his actions in question were almost 20 years ago. There is no argument that Speaker Gingrich was one of the leaders of the Conservative resurgence in the 1990’s and delivered a major in both houses in 1994, which was the first time this happened in a generation.

 

I am tired of watching RINO’s lead the GOP and completely ignore the conservatives. The establishment fails to aggressively promote the Republican and Conservative agenda and it has bit this county in the ass, culminating in 2006 we lost Congress and the support of the people, and deservedly so. Now we are left with a President that makes Jimmy Carter look like a moderate. The Tea Party Conservatives have taken the bull by the horns and at least restore sanity to one branch of Government and if they can beat back the establishment we will successful retake the Senate in 2012. Republican moderates are not successful in a Presidential Election. We must have a candidate that can motivate the base and articulate conservative ideals that the majority of Americans believe in. While Romney may be more conservative than his track record as Governor of Massachusetts, but can we afford taking that chance when the stakes are so high? We must elect someone that we are sure holds our conservative values, especially when it comes to National Defense, the Military, the Economy, and upholding the Constitution.

In the end I am endorsing and will vote for Newt Gingrich because I feel his actions in Congress and since he has left Congress have far outweighed whatever Mitt Romney and others can come up with. Newt has walked the walk. His leadership forced President Clinton to reform welfare, and balanced the budget. While he isn’t the best looking or the “sexiest” candidate out there he is the one with a proven track record. In this perilous time we can’t afford to take chances and while we still have a choice, Mitt Romney is not a chance worth taking.
