Drudge, conservative media criticize Newt Gingrich (Drudge pulls an Oprah on his loyal readers...)
Politico ^ | 1/26/11 | JIM VANDEHEI and MIKE ALLEN

Posted on 01/26/2012 6:12:09 AM PST by jimbo123

Newt Gingrich better hope voters who lapped up his delicious hits on the “elite media” and liberals don’t read the Drudge Report this morning.

Or the National Review. Or the American Spectator. Or Ann Coulter.

If they do, Gingrich comes off looking like a dangerous, anti-Reagan, Clintonian fraud.

It’s as if the conservative media over the past 24 hours decided Gingrich is for real, and they need to come clean about the man they really know before it’s too late.

What will Ann and Matt do if Mitt does not make it?

Everything they can to make sure Urkel gets re-elected.

That's what sucks. If we nominate Newt, Ann and Matt will not go to bat for him. So then, if Newt loses, they can turn around and say, "See? We told you he couldn't get elected. He didn't attract enough independents."

But if the situation is reversed, if Mitt gets nominated and we don't support him, they'll scream like stuck pigs.

Somehow their beloved "independents" won't be to blame if Mitt loses, we will.

For some time now, Coulter has betrayed the very principles which initially made her a marketable personality.

I have not been going to Drudge since he has been bashing Newt. These bashers have no idea how much they are damaging their own credibility and reputations with the rabid attacks on Newt. It is one thing to compare platforms and honestly examine records. It is another to attack him personally. These rabid bashers will not ever recover from their lack of honesty and professionalism. The public sees and rejects it.

As many have said, a “President Newt” would so shake up the status quo in DC for all these folks they can’t stand the thought.

Me neither! I used to have my browser start with three pages: Free Republic, Newsbusters and Drudge. Now I only have two!

Drudge is apparently trying to dispel Nancy Reagan’s annointing Gingrich as the new Reaganesque torchbearer.

Three Drudge headlines:

NEWT FLASHBACK 1983: REAGAN RESPONSIBLE FOR NATIONAL ‘DECAY’...
NEWT 1986: ‘The Reagan administration has failed, is failing...
NEWT 1988: ‘If Bush runs as continuation of Reaganism he will lose’...
VIDEO...

and this:

INSIDER: GINGRICH REPEATEDLY INSULTED REAGAN

NO more drudge, coulter, or fox for me....!

Dittos.
I will not watch Fox after Beck disclosed that they tried to shut him up about Sorros.
I will not go to Drudge (except maybe dump these types of comments in his alert box).
I will not buy another Coulter book.

I am completely flumuxed as to why the elites think Mitt is conservative, why they think he can beat Obama and why they think he is good for us.

Even Sorros agrees that Mitt is the same as Obama!

I will vote this fall but I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ROMNEY/McCAIN/DOLE!!!!

Here are some off FR articles you may want your lists to send him:

AS of today I’m boycotting Drudge.

Stated my-self yesterday. I usually hit Drudge eight to ten times a day, yesterday, one time. To-day will remove him from my favorites and bookmarks.

If the Old Guard refuses to support Newt after he wins the nomination, maybe this will serve as an opportunity for a new generation of conservatives to take their place. Newt’s success is fueling a revival of the Tea Party the likes of which I didn’t think possible just a few weeks ago.

Even party-line Republicans will grow weary of the establishment talking heads bashing their nominee. Where will they go instead? That’s the beauty of free enterprise.

I wonder if anyone remembers the 90s and Newt’s less than stellar leadership ability. Add to that his moral issues and own amount of RINOness, I don’t understand how people think Newt is some sort of conservative alternative. Romney has RomneyCare and Newt has all his little waltz’s with the left from global warming to spending.
