"I think the tea party is beginning to warm up to him. Newt is a pro-life, Reagan Coalition Christian conservative and he’s knowledgeable, experienced, fully vetted (sought redemption and is largely forgiven), is battle tested and rip-roaring ready to hit the ground running. No on the job training necessary. He’s a deficit cutting, tax cutting, budget balancing, welfare reforming, socialist healthcare program (HillaryCare) blocking, small government, big defense dynamo. He’s already taking the battle to the enemy. In short, we’re desperate and he’s exactly what we’re looking for." -Jim Robinson

"Donald Trump is providing a blueprint here: The way to beat Barack Obama in 2012 is to just go at him." -Rush Limbaugh - Thursday, April 7, 2011

“I’ll tell you this. Whoever in this field takes it to Obama the straightest and the hardest and the most direct, is who’s gonna win. They’re gonna have to take it to Obama. This isn’t a ‘pussy-foot around’ type of election. This is not, ‘Oh, we’ve got to worry about what they’re gonna say about us, we’ve got to worry about PR, about charges of racism.’ Somebody’s got to be willing to take it to Obama. It’s going to be about him and four more years of this stuff and we’ll see if there’s anybody in this field willing to do that.” ~ Rush Limbaugh - March 25th, 2011

I have a feeling that pretty soon, Newt will say what the establishment will think is ANOTHER "stupid" thing, saying something like this:

"With his Osawatomie Speech on 12/06/2011, Obama has deliberately come out of the closet as a Communist, showing that communism is his objetive. That speech was a Marxist attack on America, pure and simple."

"...Folks, I don't think any longer it is improper to use the word "communist" to describe Obama, communism to describe his objectives, nor is it wrong to use the word "communist" or "communism" to associate with the trade labor movement, be it the AFL-CIO or the mine workers or the SEIU. I mean they've made it clear, Obama came out of the closet. We called him out. We set the arena. Obama is now playing in our arena, not the Republican Party's arena..." ~ Rush Limbaugh, December 08, 2011

President Obama's Osawatomie Speech was a Marxist Attack on America ~ Rush Limbaugh, December 07, 2011

‘Oh, we’ve got to worry about what they’re gonna say about us, we’ve got to worry about PR, about charges of racism.’
One thing that the LSM for obvioous reasons do not point out, 0's approval ratings among Blacks for the last 2 yrs have been in the 85-92% range. Not surprising, but, IIRC, Carter and Clinton's app ratings among them were always in the mid-90%. that's more significant than it seems. Seems to me whoever wins the primary, if they can get just 10% of the Black vote, which may not be too difficult, 0 is finished.

"With his Osawatomie Speech on 12/06/2011, Obama has deliberately come out of the closet as a Communist, showing that communism is his objective. That speech was a Marxist attack on America, pure and simple."

Yet he still has a floor of low-to-mid-40s support among likely voters. That says volumes about the stupidity -- or perhaps the increasingly leftward drift -- of the American electorate.

I find it unsettling that the dems can put their most rabidly leftist candidate up for the top office in the land and win going away. Meanwhile, the GOP has to somehow hammer out a tortured path through a string "swing" states in hopes of pulling off the upset.
