Fire ants, sinkholes, spring breakers, and hurricanes aren’t enough for these people? Floridians want a wonk with liberal credentials, a veritable Al Gore in Romneyskin?
It’s funny how Hillary followed Geithner in announcing, but she was more confident in not considering extending her stay of duty. The no confidence vote, like the Democrat Economist don’t want their reputation associated with this administration, they know economically this country never gets better, as is by any current growth prediction, there is little to none.
A lot of seniors are selfish? If you mean seniors in high school, yeah, they are.
If you mean senior citizens, not sure I understand.
A lot of seniors do like food, clothing and shelter but don’t we all.
That, or Hill and Tim just aren’t Red enough!
I chalk it up to insecurity, uncertainty, and/or fear - or some combination. People are impatient and want a knockout in the 2nd round; they are afraid of Romney, and of course we are all uncertain about the future.
I don't particularly care for Santorum, for various reasons, but I'm glad he's in the race, and I think he should stay in as long as his finances and determination permit.
I have a strong preference for Newt over Santorum, but I think Newt's chances to win the nomination are unharmed if Santorum stays in the FL race. Sure, it puts more pressure on the Gingrich campaign, but trial by fire makes a stronger end product.
And just suppose that Newt wins in FL, with some of his potential supporters casting ballots for Santorum. That would give the impression of strong popularity.
I’m with you. I used to go to Drudge daily but it’s been years since I’ve done that.
I only went a few times recently after I heard here what he was up to with Newt.
But we must remember that a lot of people go to Drudge EVERY day and have him as their home page.
People change. Drudge, Brit Hume, Ann Coulter—people we used to count on have fled the conservative coop. Don’t ask me why.
Nobody is claiming Newt is Moses or has no faults, although Moses was a broken man when God chose him as was David and Solomon as were most of the great leaders in History. Take a look at the lives of Churchill, Grant, Patton, Franklin and Payne if you want to point to people who you wouldn’t expect to be good leaders.
By the same token, Rick is no Mother Theresa as he has worked with the establishment himself. His answer on Social Security was really lacking when he should have backed up privatizing socialized Security.
Vote for who you want and I understand it, but do you really think in FL a vote for Rick is nothing more than a vote for Mitt right now? Especially when he has left the state?
Pray for America
Do you know what Rick S. is polling in Florida?
Is it enough to beat Romney when combined with the Newt vote?
I’ve read a lot of polls lately and they seem to vary widely.
If Santorum is actually planning to pull out after Florida then it would be nice if he did it now.
But, if he’s planning to fight on, then ????
Agreement here, the first few debates never gave Santorum much time to speak, but now he has had some time, and yet it is Newt who is memorable differentiating himself. My thought is Rick should stay in if he can sell the ways conservative solution win what this administration has fouled, giving example in great detail
As someone who proclaims herself head of the Tea Party, it is incumbent on Bachmann to come out against Romney.
If she won’t do that, she should give up her crown.
The washerwoman always sounds like that its what happens when you insist on talking through your nose.
If you are so inclined, please visit the Prayer Thread ... America needs our prayers:

Just an FYI...Tom DeLay does not fit with the other two you named. And thehe interview from the local Houston radio talkshow where ex-Majority Whip DeLay recounted the conservative rebellion in the House when Speaker Gingrich was undone during the Clinton years is not “proof” that he does. The take on it that he does comes from political opponents of Gingrich wanting to group DeLay in with Dole and McCain as Romney supporters, which Tom DeLay is not. Been discussed and explained already on threads the last two days.
That was
I listened to Bondi and they tried to ask her if all the things which were wrong with Romneycare in Mass. were ok with her if other states wanted to implement it. She stumbled a bit and said it is all about what each state wants. (They do not have the video up yet.)
Are you okay? Your communication suddenly stopped and I hope you weren’t abducted by aliens or something.
I was interested in what you were saying about Tom Delay. I know he had some less than complimentary things to say about Newt when Newt was speaker, but I don’t remember the details.
She’s a “sociopath” in that she believes her own lies. She’s also part of the most corrupt Democrat regime in LA in years. She and her whole family are little dictators from what I’ve read.
By the way, per an earlier comment, Paul Ryan did great on FNS. He certainly did not hurt Newt and he explained that he could not endorse anyone because of his leadership position in the RNC for getting candidates elected. BUT, the positions he outlined were exactly what Newt has been saying, not Romney.
I think the great pause is Newt has shown the Republican base that initially doubted his being competitive as he is going to be very competitive, and the confidence in him has grown exponentially in the Republican base, but the elite don’t have that confidence and would rather side with Romney, their safe bet.
