What’s the clip? He does fine. Hate the tone on the interviewer. So eager to run Newt into a corner. Can’t imagine him using that tone on zer0.

“After seeing it posted however many times, I finally listened to it. It’s a good interview. No idea where the supposedly devastating sound-bite is.”

I think it’s in the ear of the beholder. Imagine, the guy admitted he formed a company based on his past experiences and profited through legal channels. I say we round up any of the varmints doing this and string em up.

No offense... the idea that Obama could duck some or all of the debates is cockamamie b.s.

Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do you Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

Support It Or Lose It

Good grief, what a broken record you are.

Try building up your own candidate and quit trashing all others.

You know, this is starting to get to be a frigging embarrassment, itt’s like watching ducks on the mechanical belt at a shooting gallery, with the “republican base” on the other side of the counter.

Here comes Bachmann.... BANG... over she goes!

Now it’s Perry. PINGGGG...

And, now here’s Cain. WAANGGGGG......!

Next up: GINGRICH.....

And the Rommney campaign staffers manning the booth?

They... just ... smiling....

.... cause’ they know that with this crowd, they will be taking home the whole jar of quarters when the carnival moves on.

Polls are for followers. Learn as much as you can about the candidates, ensure that what you have “learned” is not political bull, let conservatism be your guide...and vote accordingly.

If it were that easy, we would be so conservative we would have flying cars by now.

This fight is not against rational people, act accordingly.

Let us laugh at political convention while we are its recipients, and press for reform on the battlefield more forcefully than the left does.

These polls vary so widely, I’m not placing too much credibility in them right now.

While this is terrible news, Newt's anal exam has not yet really begun and Willard's is on the horizon. Faith in America that this will turn out alright and hard work will bring us to where we need to be.

The good news is Willard is not even close way ahead of Cain, but not even close. Yes Rasmussen is more respected and probably right but his 32% and the Iowa college poll showing Newt at less than 5% say this is not over. In the meanwhile Newt is showing no buzz on face book at all. Facebook support means young energized supporters.

Let's wait and see.

LOL. Well I guess you told me! You're not just a little opinionated, are ya’?

Seriously, I suppose it is more likely that Obama will destroy Newt long before any debate might occur. Therefore; the media assault on Newt will continue to intensify.

Repost: I can’t agree more. Now is not the time to send a ‘message’. We MUST remove Obama.

Any one of the republican candidates would be far more better than Obama. None of them hate America. Like Mark Levin said, I’d vote for an orange juice can.

We’re stuck with this field, someone in this group will be our nominee. We can not let obama win re-election. All you sit it out folks, remember, it’s more dire than any time before in our history. Even re-electing Carter isn’t this bad.

In Iowa, Gingrich and Romney are seen as the most qualified to be president. Seventy-six percent (76%) say Gingrich is qualified while 71% say that of the former governor. Paul and Perry are viewed as qualified by 51%, while 47% say that of Cain and Santorum.

Ouch, hurts for my man CAIN. I have to admit, early in the RACE I thought he had his three points and "winged it". When he answered that Gun control was a state rights issues, that was a misinformed answer. But then I became impressed as he became a quick study on domestic issues and developed and defended his 9-9-9 plan. He became my man and has some of my money...

However, what has hurt him IMHO was not the allegations, but the last debate. He just hasn't been able to be a quick study on Foreign issues. Some of these issue are fairly complex... maybe he has not surrounded himself with the right people yet.. This is a two man race, Newt and Cain. Newt rise is partly due to taking from Romney. Mr. 23% can hardly afford lost support. I also think that the folks supporting the single digit candidates will migrate to CAIN... Thus 2 man race.

NO NEWTIE!

Looks like I'm sitting this election out. Just working to get CONSERVATIVES elected Locally, Statewide and Federally where I can.

NO Newt. NO RINO'S. NO MORE!

Or for those in the Great SW....NO MAS!

And for those who will complain I'm giving it to Obama...HEY...THE GOP LEFT ME! YOU are the ones electing the socialists! GIVE ME A CONSERVATIVE! NOT A POSER!

it looks like it is too late for Conservatives to come up with a major first tier candidate. I hope the Cain folks in Iowa continue the fight. But it looks like it will be a NEWT-MILT race with ronPaul tagging along picking up half his votes from Reagan conservatives (BARF).

THIS race started in earnest one year ago and conservatives failed so we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

I am going to support NEWT in New Hampshire. Either that, or I will catch up on my paperwork and skip the poly-tics.

Newt thinks he has overcome his character issues, and based on these polls, he might be right in thinking that he has outlasted everything that has come up so far.

My problem is I do NOT believe that’s all that’s there.

Call it a gut feeling, but I do believe that there are other unpleasant surprises in Newt’s closet. Surprises that the Dems know about but are keeping under wraps for now.

Should he end up with the nomination, they’ll spring the trap.
