Every time I read something by Bernie Quigley I think “this must be what taking acid is like.”
About the time some of us wonder where you’ve been, you show up! :)
I must say, I am disappointed to see Rick Perry come out for DEWHURST over CRUZ in TEXAS. CRUZ supporters gave a lot of money and energy to prop Rick up as well as all other conservatives, who are interested in men serving and not more effeminiate pols, metro-males thin on courage who circulate among the halls of power for a permanent career.
Just, “Blast it”!
HAHAHAHAHA!
LOVE IT!
The academics are killin’ us.
I think we have Quigley’s number alright.
Too much time at the nail salon pondering his next column on bubble blowing.
That nexus is just beyond me ~ unless it has some connection to the professional lobbyists like those at The Hill who have their own otherwise inscrutible interests.
People saw Perry and had flashbacks to GW Bush.
Of course you’re right... comments like mine are intended to slap some of the Newties on this website into reality... I am no big Romney fan, (but of course many here think just the opposite). The reality is that Romney is going to be the GOP nominee, and if Obama is to get kicked out on his can, everybody’s going to have to swallow hard and vote for him. Eats my craw, but I’ll be damned if I vote in any other way that will ensure Obama another 4. Everybody here... laugh a little and move on...
““Next to Romney, Perry was the only other one on stage deserving the post of president.”
Only if your criteria is the amount and quality of the hair on their head.
Perry’s biggest obstacle was overcoming Bush bumpkin syndrome, not that he or Bush either one were bumpkins. The leftist media had successfully created that image, and people were wary of it. They wanted an intelligent candidate to run against the halfwitted “genius” in the White House. Perry’s poor debate performances and gaffs sealed his fate. He didn’t need Newt for that. As for Newt, he may or may not have been a spoiler. It will be interesting to see how his campaign debt is put away.
So you get a kick out of bearing false witness, do ya?
If Speaker Gingrich is a Romney plant, it is proof that Mitt Romney has assembled the most efficiently ruthless political organization in US history.
And probably deserves to win.
Seriously, he must be omnipotent, and a rather great leader to have so meticulously, successfully played the entire primary as if a symphony.
It’s amazing, his power over people.

PALIN 2016
So please explain how attacks on Gingrich by Romney supporters is gong to draw Newt's supporters to the polls to mark their ballots for Romney. Seems to me such attacks will have the opposite effect.
Thank you for being one in a crowded wilderness that understands traditionally conservatism and posts about it on a "conservative" web site.
George Washington, during his farewell address, also warned us about political parties and what they would do to the republic. His warnings have all come to pass.
I think that’s the thing about Rick P - just when you want to love him, he does something curious. I think it’s safe to say that if Perry were really who we thought he was and wanted him to be, he would be the presumptive nominee with a huge lead in the polls,
I think it’s also safe to say that while he is some of that, he is not all of that, thus he is not the nominee. Sad. So many folks had great hopes. I still generally like him a lot, but he does disappoint from time to time.
What makes you think this is the work of a Romney supporter?
Seriesly I’m asking.
It seems like someone trying to damage something, certainly. Who would have anything to gain, by angering Gingrich supporters?
Romney looks on track to win without doing that. The primary’s not over though, who else might have an agenda?
The 2012 GOP primary ran eerily similar to the 2008 primary season.
Several (as in too many) conservatives jumped in, while the elites coalesced around one major contender.
As the conservatives cat-scratched and did each other in, the elites’ preferred continued to add delegates.
The conservatives found themselves splintered and shattered, with the few delegates spread out over a half-dozen candidates.
Result: the elites won the primary race again.
Even though their candidate might very will lose the general — again.
Rick Perry destroyed Rick Perry’s political career.
Stop blaming others for his choice to run for Presidency, the things he said on the campaign trail, the positions on issues he had as governor.
And that’s what I’ve been pondering: Perry says he wants to run again in ‘16, but can’t very well do that as part of a Mittens admin, so.... does he expect Mittens to lose? Or is he going to attempt to dismantle the FED out from under Mittens?
Thanks... you get it... yo made me laugh...
