Bloomberg Debate - Newt & the rest

I find it very discouraging how the Republicans never learn from their mistakes.  Yet again it looks like a Beauty contest more than a Presidential campaign.  Additionally, all these debates are the best prep for Obama or Hillary in the upcoming Presidential debates.  You know they're taking notes, you know they're prepping... they will be very prepared for the Nominee of the Republican party and I believe they can beat all but one of the current Candidates.

The support for the current front runners is a recipe for disaster as well.  We are setting them up for failure.  They don't know how Washington works.  They don't know, and are guessing, how to bring about permanent change in our current, corrupted system.  They are the band-aids.  We don't need band-aids, we need a Surgeon and that would be Newt Gingrich. 

Unfortunately petty jealousies, self-righteous attitudes, feelings of abandonment, amateurish analysis, or outright ignorance will keep people from voting for Newt Gingrich.  Whats ironic about that is that most if not all will acknowledge that Newt is the smartest guy in the room but.... I've found that "but" is code for all the aforementioned feelings, in other words, the heart.  Their minds say yes but their hearts say no.  There are ways to overcome it but should not necessarily be addressed by Newt's campaign.  Newt should do what he does best, he should stay on point.  Others should do that heavy lifting.

Last night in the debate you heard every Candidate preen about their substance or the need for substance.  Yet the Contract of America has more substance than all of these Candidates put together even in raw form.  Newt's campaign needs to do a better job of "reminding" people of who Newt is, what Newt was and is, how Newt did it, and why Newt is exactly what America needs. 

Newt alluded to how the his campaign could accomplish those goals last night when he said look at the mess the Politicians have created in the last decade.  In other words- look at the mess the Politicians have created since I left office, its time for me to finish my work.  Hows that for a campaign theme???

Lastly, if you closed your eyes and listened to Perry's or Romney's impassioned verbage for their programs, you would never have guessed they were Republicans.  I now firmly believe they are secret agents from the Democratic party.  I've never heard Republicans use emotionally dishonest rhetoric in defense of a or in creating a program that serves their cause & no one else's.  Thats always been the Democrats specialty.  I grieve for the Republican party if either one gets into Office.  It will be Bush all over again.

Huntsman's Ken doll looks, Cain's sloganeering, Santorum's fiery attacks, Bachmann's continually reminding people that she keeps picking fights and losing are not enough to make a President.  They do not have the depth needed.  Ron Paul is the Jekyll & Hyde of the group... good for Halloween and ending the Fed but thats about it.

Newt is the only one that has the knowledge to make permanent changes.  Yet feelings trump Reason. 

Newt knows the Why, the Who, the What, and the How of America. 

All the rest know most of the When & Where. 

We need to get back to Why America was created - What it was supposed to be - Who we were supposed to be in America - How America works & How to get back there. 

The rest know dates of When things happened and Where they happened (I hope). 

We need Newt's knowledge and his experience to remind us of the work he started and the work that needs to finished.
