WE NEED A "NEWT" CANDIDATE

I was thinking, what if a new candidate stepped into the fray? I read an article by Michael Reagan today, and he brought up some points I would like to share for those who are looking for a TRUE Conservative to run for President. While none of the potential GOP candidates resemble Ronald Reagan in every way, they all represent some of his ideas. Romney: a fiscal Reaganite. McCain: national security issues (except the border!). Rudy: hard-liner when it comes to crime. And Huckabee: embodies Reagan's views on faith and religion.

Some of you may be asking why does Reagan even matter. Well, I will tell you: we NEED a Reagan conservative. We do not need anymore RINO's (Republican In Name Only) getting power, especially the most powerful position in the world. Reagan resurrected a country that was short of being crippled by a RINO (Ford) and a liberal who could not find his butt with a map and a compass (Carter). To me, someone who chooses the RINO stance is selling out for moderate votes. Well, Reagan did not want moderate votes. He wanted the votes belonging to the Republican base. He wanted to give the average, God-fearing American hope again, and he did! Too bad we have let a semi-RINO (Bush I), a liberal who would rather follow polls than listen to the people who elected him (Bubba Clinton), and a RINO who has loved big government like it's going out of style (Bush II) take us back to the Ford-Carter days.

"Skeeter, why all the frustration?" Because I don't want to have to choose between the lesser of two evils! I want a man who stands on principle, a man who is more than willing to re-light the lamp on that hill Reagan so eloquently spoke of so that we can once again shine for all the world to see. As a country, we have lost hope, and we need someone who embodies hope, someone who is realistic, yet at the same time idealistic. A man who BELIEVES in America and her sovereignty. A man who looks to the future, who prefers to look towards the sunlight rather than waller in the mud being slung around by today's candidates (mostly the liberals).

"Skeeter, who is this man?! Hurry up and tell us!." Well, you should know who I mean by looking at the title of this post. Newt Gingrich is the man I want, and he is the man we need. "But Skeeter, did he not cheat on his wife? Has he not done some less than pure things?" As a matter of fact, yes he has...and we should forgive him and move on. "But so did Clinton, right? Why should we not have done the same for him?" That is a darn good question, and here is the answer: because Newt has confessed his sins. He does not hide behind charisma, he does not tell lie after lie about it, and he certainly doesn't pull a Bubba Clinton and blame the other Party for his behavior (i.e., Clinton and his gang of left-wing nuts!). I respect a man who is honest. It takes character and integrity to admit when you are wrong, and Newt has got those qualities.

The other thing I love about the guy is that he looks forward. He is aware of the past, and he knows we need to learn from it. The key, though, is he believes we should apply the lessons and move forward. His website http://www.americansolutions.com/ and his book "Winning the Future" are terrific. Check them both out. I firmly believe you will buy into what the man is saying. If so, contact and SCREAM at the man to run for President! If not, we may just have to settle for the lesser of the two evils.
