Why the 11th Commandment was important, or Et Tu, Brute... (or Mitt, or Rick, or Ron)?

Once again, we have Newt Gingrich show why we need this year’s primary season to continue into the Republican Convention. While some of the others are trying to jump into Newt’s shoes, and go after the media for their lies and twisting of the facts we all know, Newt not only points out the medias misrepresentations, he also demolishes the policies of this failed, (from an American’s point of view), president.

Newt realizes who the real target is. He, from the inside of the electoral process, and Sarah Palin from the outside, is more interested in bringing down Obama than playing gotcha games.

The MSM loves to point out how the Republican field is taking a beating in the polls because of the divisive debates and attacks amongst the candidates.

No one points out that had they followed the lead Newt Gingrich tried to set, and stayed away from attacking each other, this division would not have occurred.

Can you imagine if instead of following the smear machine tactics of Mitt Romney, the candidates had instead turned each and every question from the media against the real target, Obama?

For example, had the original answer to George Clinton Stephanopoulos’s stupid question about conservatives and birth control been to point out the cost, in human lives, of the infanticide policies backed by Obama and the ultra-liberal Democrats, and how all conservatives stood against Obama’s disrespect of the most basic of rights for the most vulnerable of Americans, and repeatedly referred to Obama’s position every time the media brought up the contraceptive policy, how long would the Obama-protective media keep bringing up the issue?

After all, they only raised the issue to...

I’m convinced most Santorum supporters weren’t aware of his existence until after Florida. That’s how he got away with the whole “above it all” meme he himself pushed, even while releasing anti-Newt ads like this one:

“The Florida results are in and despite spending millions Newt Gingrich went form a big lead to a big defeat. Why? Because voters discovered Gingrich wasn’t a true conservative. Like Romney, Gingrich supported the Wall Street bailout, job-killing cap and trade, and radical healthcare mandates. Gingrich even supports giving some illegals amnesty,”

But Santorum rose above the bickering, of course:

From the piece:

“Can you imagine if instead of following the smear machine tactics of Mitt Romney, the candidates had instead turned each and every question from the media against the real target, Obama?”

If you remember that is exactly what Newt did in the Michigan debate while Santorum was explaining the ins and outs of Senate votes, and confessing he had “taken one for the team”. He took King’s ridiculously premised questions, reframed them, and hammered Obama. IMO the Michigan debate will go down in history as the turning point for Newt’s resurgence.

You are so on the money with that. So RIGHT on the money. Drives me nuts.
