“what the voters are craving in the debates and on the stump is someone who can look liberals squarely in the eye and tell them why we are right and they are wrong. The American conservative base has had to put up with being called stupid, racist, greedy and unfair for decades by not only the Democrats but the vast majority of the media. The pent up frustration of these decades is magnified by the fact that George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush and John McCain would not or perhaps could not confront this.”
Mittsy Flippsy is another mushy Rino who dares not confront the media and cultural elites that attack conservative values on a daily basis.
Newt genuinely despises the elites. As the article states, that’s where he gets his biggest applause lines.
A strange calculus seems to be afoot: The more the elites attack Newt (ex-wife interview on eve of SC primary), the angrier the Republican base become
s and the more they rally to Newt’s defense, especially when he fights back.
The MSM still doesn’t get it. They’ll dredge up all the old charges to derail Newt in the days ahead. Quite possibly it will backfire in their faces.

You could call it pent up frustration. On the other hand you could just say I am pissed off after seeing the compassionate conservatives turn the other cheek so many times and getting plowed all the time. For the last 50 years we have been beaten back three steps by the left and respond with compromise to not even level the playing field. Face it, we have been crapped on for at least five decades. The likes of Bush, Dole, Bush, McLame, Bohner et al have allowed the right and the producers of the United States to be buried under a great steaming heap of dung.
I’m tired of pretty boys and politically correct hacks. I want a President who will jerk the enemy up by the nose and beat the living hell out of them. This may be our last stand. Nobody can turn the attitude of the entitlement class, created in the last 50 years, around in four years. Legally, I see no way to even turn around the massive system of laws and regulations that have all but destroyed the United States. Instead, I see it likely that attempts at change will only enrage the entitlement class and their lefty over lords. Maybe they will be too lazy to even rise up in useful protest? I know that the over lords will at least try to whip them into a frenzy and the lib lovers in the media will do their best to make it an across the board crisis.
I don’t know what the real answer is for lasting change to return us to our principles. We may only see a season of encouragement. Either way, lasting change or a season I want a President who will act boldly and continuously against the left with the same aggression the left has acted against the principles of our founding and the Constitution.
