Gingrich Labels Obama 'Dangerous,' Places Second in Gwinnett GOP Straw Poll

Presidential contender also makes campaign stop in Forsyth

Ron Paul finished ahead of Newt Gingrich on Saturday in a straw poll taken during a Gwinnett County Republican meeting in Suwanee, Suwanee Patch reports.

Paul collected 115 votes to Gingrich's 73 in voting at Collins Hill High. Finishing third was former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum with 60 votes. Mitt Romney, currently the overall delegate leader among GOP candidates, got 25 votes.

During his speech, Gingrich outlined his presidential plans and called President Obama the "most dangerous president in modern American history."

The meeting was just one of Gingrich's campaign stops today. Early Saturday morning, Gingrich, along with former candidate Herman Cain, attended a rally in south Forsyth County.

Alpharetta Patch reports Gingrich said no matter what the "lamestream" media says, it's still anybody's race for the Republican nomination, citing his own and Rick Santorum's successes against Mitt Romney.

Lame title. Why cant you people ever acknowledge Dr. Paul when he wins? Newt second? Newt is slimier than his name covered in sanatorum.

"There are people in all levels of government office who would like nothing more than to beRead More able to conduct all the public business out of public view" The problem is, who's going to stop them? Certainly--no one from this justice department who is complicit in multiple overreaches and coverups.

I wrote this on another post but it so applies here and is worth repeating: James Madison wrote inRead More the federalist paper (no. 51) concerning the separation of powers and need for limited government , "“ It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government……” We need to have a "Madison moment"...
