Two National Polls Show Gingrich on the Rise, Now in Second Place

In a somewhat unexpected development, GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich is now gaining momentum as two newly released national polls — one from CBS and one from McClatchy-Marist – shows the former House Speaker surging ahead to second place.
In the CBS poll, Gingrich is tied with Mitt Romney for second place behind Herman Cain. The McClatchy-Marist poll, on the other hand, places Romney in the lead with 23 percent, and Gingrich close behind with 19 percent while Cain trails with 17 percent.
CBS reports:
The field of Republican candidates now has three candidates within striking distance of each other at the top of the list: with 18 percent, Herman Cain is in the top spot, followed by Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich with 15% each. Support for both Cain and Romney has declined since late last month, and Gingrich is the only one of the top three whose support is steadily – if slowly – on the upswing.
…
The CBS poll of 382 GOP primary voters was taken Nov. 6-10. It had a margin of error of 5 percentage points. The McClatchy poll of 347 Republicans and GOP-leaning independents was taken Nov. 8-10. The margin of error was 5.5 percentage points.
In the CBS poll 61 percent of Republican voters say the sexual harassment allegations against Cain won’t make any difference in their vote, while 30 percent say the harassment charges have made them abandon support for Cain. The poll reveals that Cain has lost support among women since October, dipping from 28 percent to just 15 percent now.
According to Fox News, analysts have been suggesting for weeks that Gingrich could be well-positioned for a surge.
Who will take the nomination is anyone’s guess as seven in 10 Republican voters remain undecided, but it is perhaps worth noting that both polls were conducted after the allegations of sexual harassment against Cain made national airwaves.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 5:10pmRomney should NOT even be there:
– What did Christians think of Romney issuing 378 marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004-06? More than any other action by Romney, these special licenses demonstrated where his heart was on the same-sex marriage issue since they were purely discretionary. There was no mandate forcing Romney to issue such licenses. This calls into question his authenticity as an alleged social conservative candidate.
ROMNEY’S 2012 PLAN CUTS MEDICARE–Ron Paul’s plan cuts $1 trillion the first year & balances the budget in 3 years. The plan cuts spending by ending the costly foreign wars, and cuts foreign welfare, corporate welfare, and overgrown federal bureaucracy. These cuts are made so that those who are dependent on domestic spending programs such as Medicare aren’t endangered through a sudden change in benefits. Romney’s plan cuts Medicare, on which many elderly Americans rely.
Glenn Beck endorses Ron Paul. Beck can’t get much more clear than this:

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 5:48pmAs much as I like Glenn Beck, I really don’t care that he is endorsing Ron Paul. I don’t need anyone to tell me who to vote for. This is his opinion. I can think for myself and for me, I truly believe Ron Paul could not win against Obama. As far as Newt’s baggage…who doesn’t have baggage? I saw Newt on TV the other night and when the commentator asked about his past, Newt said he has asked God’s forgiveness so that is good enough for me. Lord knows we have all done thing in the past we wish we would have done differently and to punish Newt for his past when he has asked forgiveness is wrong. I don’t know who I will vote for yet but I do think Newt would wipe the floor with Obama. He is very quick on his feet, knows what he is talking about, is extremely intelligent, seems to really be standing up for the American people and won’t take any crap from the left or the media. He calls it like it is and that is the kind of candidate we need to defeat Obama. Cain is good too and I don’t care what he did 15 years ago. There is no, nor will there ever be a perfect candidate.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 5:58pmGRAMMAB, none of us are without sin, and if you think Newt is any different you would be wrong, and at the same time, I think he has come clean on more of the things he did in the past and has asked and received forgiveness from God (it really isn’t for you or me to judge him, and at the same time he needs to be judged on his merits since his skeletons and sins have been divulged). I know what his sins were, what he has done for the past (what) 13years since then, and I think he has done his penance for his sins a lot more and according to Judeo-Christian values and rules a heck of a lot more than is really required, so I forgive him, and of all the people on stage (besides Herman Cain), I think Newt can do more to help this country and the world than Romney or Perry (specifically).
Look at just a few of the things he has done (for the good) since removing himself from public office and you will not see a bunch of greedy money-making power hungry stuff, you will find help, direction, historical and religious books, helping with troops. He still made money, but not to the extent of some that have been thrown out of office, he has a lot of charity work and organizations. When was the last time you saw Clinton doing charity work that didn’t have a natural disaster attached to it?
Newt and Cain, or Cain and Newt, happy both ways.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:23pmRomney has Romney care and some other issues that conservatives do not like. But the man is polished and he’s done very well in the debates IMO. I have no doubt he would do well against Obama in a debate.
Newt has baggage, but overall I believe he’s done the best in the debates with the best and most in depth answers (Romney comes in second in debate performance IMO… though I do think Romney won this last one… the man seems unflappable). And I believe Newt is the smartest candidate running with the most experience in dealing with the DC political machine.
Cain’s biggest problem IMO is his inexperience. On matters financial and economic he has an excellent resume but other issues he’s often not even informed enough to express an opinion. Given the state of the world today can we really afford another president who is naive and inexperienced with regard to foreign affairs?
Ron Paul – I love many of his ideas (I’m a libertarian, how could I not) but his stance on foreign policy scares me. He understands that one of the government’s main roles is to protect us from foreign threats but somehow seems to think the best way to do that is to bury our head in the sand and ignore the rest of the world.
Gary Johnson – My personal favorite. No one can touch his record of fiscal conservatism. Period. End of discussion. My dream ticket is Johnson/Gingrich. If I can’t have that my second choice would be Gingrich/Johnson.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:52pmYes, Newt could easily whomp Obama in debate.
Then again, when conservatives and liberals debate, it’s never a fair fight—it’s the difference between real, substantive ideas and empty, fluffy feel-good slogans with excessive appeals to pathos and shameful displays of ignoratio elenchi. A liberal can only “win” if the conservative isn’t brave (or knowledgable) enough to call them out on their lack of rational substance.
Unfortunately, a brave conservative politician is hard to come by.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:55pmTo those who are lecturing me on forgiveness, whether Newt is forgiven is between him and God. But, a man’s actions define the content of his character, which I am entitled to judge when I vote. And, most independent voters will not care one whit whether he has been forgiven, just that he serially betrayed his wives and was run out of Congress under a cloud. If he will betray the person to whom he has made vows, and whom he has to face every day, he will betray anyone. Besides, Callista is creepy, and he keeps mentioning her in every sentence, as if we are getting a twofer.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 7:00pmNewt is the only candidate right now that could take on Obama. Plus, the leftist media has already been digging for dirt for years and what have they found. Multi-marriages – and he has an account at a jewlery store for $750,000. I doubt that they will find anything more.
Report Post »Now for his attributes: he knows the history of the US, the US Constitution, and he is a statesman. He is also not a push-over for foreign countries. He doesn’t need a teleprompter at a debate. So far, I have not seen a question he couldn’t answer immediately. He has balanced the budget with a president of the other party.
Although I would prefer to see more of a hawk, I do not believe that Iran would be blazing ahead with him in the WH. Problem is, Iran will probably have the bomb before he takes office and he won’t have the military that Regean did. It will be in much worse shape because of the leftist administration we have in there now. Hopefully, he will have sufficient time to build it back up before needing it.

Newt said this in a 2009 interview, “We need to fundamentally transform litigation, regulation, taxation, education, health, energy, infrastructure, and our national security apparatuses. The policies that we have in place today reflect the realities of the twentieth century. We can’t compete globally with our current laws, systems, and obsolete bureaucracies that cannot operate at the speed of the twenty-first century; they don’t have the flexibility or effectiveness required to manage the issues of the day.”
Newt wants to FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA, from a sovereign nation to an EU look-alike called the North American Union. He believes our ‘current’ Constitutional government system is obsolete and like his mentor, Alvin Toffler, wants it abolished.

You’re one of these rabid dregs who must have a candidate in lock step with whatever delusional fantasy you might be embracing at the time you decide to voice your biased opinion. Nobody is good enough for you unless you feel he shares your pretension of moral superiority. Get over it, old man, and view the real world as it actually is.
“Gang, he’s as Progressive as any other establishment guy. Just because he‘s patriotic doesn’t mean he’s Constitutional.”
What’s with the “gang” moniker, referring I suppose to people on here as part of your cadre of moral supremacists? Very few people agree with most of what you espouse, so don’t refer to all of us as a “gang,” as if we belong to your particular brand of decadent moralists, eagerly awaiting your delusional direction.
If you want a “gang,” why don’t you bolster up your flagging courage and go out and start one. Several of us on here did. It’s called a “militia.”

Posted on November 13, 2011 at 8:12amGingrich is very smart. However, I would suggest that we should look at what he has done instead of what he says.
As a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, he appears to be a supporter of One World government. Even though he claims to be a conservative, his votes when he was in Congress were not.
Trust, BUT VERIFY.
It’s very sad to see there is no one with real integrity or honesty running for president. Guess there are no true leaders or true conservatives anymore. Bachmann comes the closest, but the media hates her, and most Americans believe the media, regardless of what they say.
Although I agree with Ron Paul about a lot of things, his foreign policy is naive and dangerous. We can not turn the clock back 200 years…we have involved ourselves all over the world, and it is a scary world.
Am I the only one that thinks all this may very well be a waste of time, and the outcome has already been decided? That is, the person who will run against Obama has already been picked, and we are beating our heads aginst the inevitable?

Income tax and sale tax needs to stay at the state level and in the control of the people, recirculating currency throughout the states and creating more business within each state, in which creates more revenue for the Federal Government. Most needed governmental agencies would be more efficient at the state level if the people stay involved in their local governments and communities.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 5:46pmThere are over 1000 taxes levied on the cost of making a loaf of bread. I think the way it will really work, since everyone is paying the 9% flat sales tax on new goods only, not used or second hand goods, that 9% will be part of the cost of the purchase and the businesses will pay that, not you at the register. You will pay local (state, county, city) taxes on goods just like you are right now.
There is more than HALF a TRILLION dollars spent each year on paying, enforcing, and collecting Federal Income Taxes, which is all saved costs in running the government.
Push this idea to business, large and small companies, and going through business classes and such, there is so much time calculating the costs of different taxes and fees in order to attach a cost to allow for profit and growth, with this, I can walk into any business, I can add 9percent to the cost of all taxes and I am done. I don’t have to worry about a penny here or a penny there from some new tax showing up, it is just 9% and I have saved so much time it isn’t even funny, which translates to lower overall costs which equates to a lower price overall, and a stability I can count on to grow, thus more jobs, thus better competition against overseas jobs, and more jobs returning to the USA.
Besides, the 49% that don’t pay into taxes, the small amount you pay in makes you have a little more skin in the game, but not a lot.

http://999calculator.net/
For example a $100 item under the 9-9-9 plan – even with your State Sales tax – would now be $98.18. You actually pay less after 9-9-9 plan goes in effect – only now you will see a visible 9% sales tax on your receipt. Right now you don’t see all the hidden embedded taxes that brought the $100 item to market.

Remember when Mr. Cain patiently tried to explain apples and oranges [Fed sales tax vs. State sales tax] to Mr. Romney—who did not understand or pretended not to understand in order to use up Mr. Cain’s time?
Mr. Cain has explained several times that the whole tax system needs to be reformed. With regard to the sales tax—all those present layers of tax at every point of manufacture and delivery would be deleted, thus lowering the final price of an item, and the 9% would then be charged to that lower price. There will not be VAT taxes. Also, there would not be a tax on used items—only on the original new price. [Ummm. The thought just occurred to me---that should help the used car business!]

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:14pmSaranda, you are right. State, County, and city taxes remain, but the overall cost of items will be lower because taxes paid on goods as they are made will remain lower than they are now. There are so many taxes going into each item we purchase right now, almost 40% of the cost of any item by business, and that doesn’t even consider the state, county, and city taxes, that gets passed along to consumers, will all be but gone. The main reason it can be lowered this way is because the process of calculating taxes at the end of the year is so much easier it saves half a trillion dollars or more (the more we grow, the more they get, former President Reagan proved that), simply because the enforcement and collection system is simplified, and on the business end, you have nine percent and then the local stuff, so the only solution to the excess profits is to lower prices and/or expand, which is growth, which helps pay down the deficit.
I am a whole lot less scared of this than what President Obama has planned with his Progressive tax system continuation and more hidden taxes and loopholes. Also, think of all the lobbyist jobs which will go away in the loophole operations….no need for them any more, we are all closer to equal than has been in a very long time.

I certainly believe that you are a republican, because of the way you treat people.
“that statement could only come from an idiot that dosent understand the difference between a hand up and a hand out.”
To let you know, I do understand the difference between a hand up and a handout. However, I didn’t say anything about a handout or any other type of welfare. I understand how it’s easy for people to be quick to judge when they feel like they are being slighted. I’m assuming that you are not of the Christian ilk. If you were, one would think that you would treat people with some kind of decency.
That being said, to defame you was not my intent. I merely meant to comment on our, (yes , I used “our”) tendency to look down on people that we believe are beneath us. Where democrats treat the poor like pets, we make snide remarks about them not doing for themselves or always trying to get a handout. The poor might be willing to look at the republican platform and see we have some sort of desire to help them out of their station, but we treat the poor with such disdain they continue running to the democrats. Even though the democrats treat them like pets; they at least give the illusion of treating them with respect, or that they care about them in some way. If all we do is, tell the poor that we are the ones that truly know what’s best for them; we treat them no better than the democrats do. Thus, we really don’t care about the poor.

How could someone who is apart of the tea movement, Support a fed shill?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can. ~ barry goldwater

If you do not like what I have to say, don’t read my posts. That’s the best way for you not to get tired of what I say.
Newt is not conservative. The guy proposed Mandated Healthcare and now says ObamaCare is horrible. Newt has had 3 wives and went after Clinton for character while Newt was screwing around at the time on the American taxpayers dime!
Cain is not Conservative. The Federal Reserve causes high taxes. 9-9-9 taxes cities differently, rewarding union destroyed cities with lower taxes then right to work cities.
Romney is a democrat! Nothing needs to be said about him as his flip flops show what he is.
So a Republican “Conservative” party supporting any of these 3 is insane and stupid. Not conservative. Fake. PROGRESSIVE!!!
Stupid means inability to learn….If the “Party” supports one of these 3 progressives the party is Stupid for it didn’t learn anything and show it cannot…….
Glenn Beck says it everyday, the Republicans are infiltrated with Progressives. This shows just that……

Please tell me where my post has error?
I‘m not playing the PC game of let’s not hurt anyones feelings, I call it as I see it.
The conservative movement is against ObamaCare (Mandated Healthcare) and high taxes (Federal Reserve drives taxes).
So if the “Conservative” movement again elects someone who is or has been for the very things the movement stands against the movement shows it learned nothing, aka stupid.
If you can repudiate this statement do so….I don’t just come calling names with no reasoning, I come calling a spade a spade and a heart a heart with reasoning, evidence, backing my statement up.
You are mad because those saying they are conservative are being exposed as progressive? Why?

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 7:22pm@sissy, You could always argue back at him with facts, If you don’t believe the repubs and democrats are in bed together you are the complete fool. Just look at the past few republican presidents.
Progressives know a one party system couldn’t work, they have the advantage when they control both parties.
It’s sad you all have conservatism twisted in your head, fox news and political radio have turned majority of republicans in to closet neo-cons. If you don‘t believe me look at bill o’reily, He banned ron paul from his poll he conducted, Because ron won by a landslide, Fair and balanced right? They snuff the only true conservative to make way for the other progressives on the stage. I look at it this way anyone rush, glenn, fox, msnbc, and cnn promote, Stay clear.
It’s us the true tea party members, Who are tired of being shouted down by you neo-cons.
Oh ya, TEA!

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 9:07amNo one can argue that modern Republicans have become too progressive — too much like Democrats.
In order to figure out who to vote for (and I’m not endorsing one candidate to you in this statement)
Ask yourself, “Why didn’t Bush II close the border?”
Why didn’t Obama close the border
Why is America constantly at war?
Why is America broke (is it intentional)?
What is “global government” (new world order) and how is it applied? (I’ll give a hint here: Study United Nations Agenda 21)
What is a neo-conservative? (just Google it and to find the answer)
THEN CHOOSE A CANDIDATE TO SAVE AMERICA!

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 4:45pmThe MSM, Joe Scarborough, Karl Rove, the various assorted RINO Republicans that show up on MSNBC and CNN will make sure that allegations, past marital histories will blow Herman and Newt out of the way in eyes of more and more Tea Party women. And no scandal Romney will stand alone. Once nominated, every Romney waffle will be played over and over to further discourage the Tea Party. Is the Tea Party strong as ever, men and women or faltering ?

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 9:29pmI don’t think you have to worry about us tea party women being persuaded by any media sources. We are smart enough to figure things out for ourselves believe it or not. I think Newt is a very smart man no matter how many times he has been married. He actually makes alot of sense and I use to not care for him until I really started listening to him. Go Newt!!!

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 7:36amNo Darla, we just have to worry about women voting because he’s a sweet talker. Nothing more absurd that going by what someone says rather than looking into a candidate’s record. And Newt has a proven record of being a Big Gov, global government progressive. In 2009, just 2 years ago, Newt voted for Carter’s Dept of Ed. Newt is a member of the CFR. Newt said our government system is outdated and that he wants to ‘fundamentally transform’ our system. I guess those are words that make sense to you.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 4:44pmPlease stop with the polls The establishment shall get their choice. Votes mean nothing people mean nothing, If you listen to Savage at all you would agree that the system is set up so the Dems can rob us 8 years then the Republicans can rob us for 8 years. Who cares anymore really? Until we revolt against the current system and renew the original system we’re going no where fasdt because they are all globalists except the one choice who is “unelectable”. Stimulus supporting, patriot act voting, war hungry vermin. If you want real change the only choice is Dr. Ron Paul. Pro-life, consitutionalist, who wants to reduce the scale of the federal government.
Who else will tell you they intend on cutting 5 agencies and actually meaning it? If you have an opinion and a free conscience you will surely vote for the man who has been speaking for 30+ years what Glenn Beck and all the other hosts talk but won’t support or talk too… Is one argument with his policy that bad? REALLY??
Dr. Paul or America dies it is that easy.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 6:11pmRemembrance Day in Canada is a big deal. Schools shut, and it is a bank holiday. The entire country observes a 2 minute of silence tribute and much of the day is spent somehow connected to the veterans. Though some may not, I can tell you that my associates in Canada take this day seriously and wonder how we can leave Veterans Day with such little observance. Tonight I am invited to what is an annual Remembrance Day event at which 10 veterans are invited without any real connection to the group of attendees. It is a great way to meet and put a face to the people who gave much and in some cases all. Canada does this day right.

Posted on November 12, 2011 at 5:45amI’m not sure because nobody else has reported on it either, but I’m guessing it’s probably because it drew an embarrassingly small number of people.
