The 2012 Republican primary race has passed well beyond the rabbit hole into some extra-dimensional bizarro world where up is down, black is white and the allies of the candidate who disavowed Reaganism would have us believe that the leader of the second stage of the Reagan Revolution is somehow insufficiently Reaganesque.
Its no secret that the GOP establishment backs Mitt Romney. The same folks who gave us John McCain and Bob Dole have picked their winner. When Mr. Romney is down, their panic shows. They start floating desperate ideas like late-entry candidates or a brokered convention. They also pull out the long knives for Newt Gingrich. After the former speakers decisive victory in South Carolina, insiders launched an all-out assault upon him. Unmasked and panicked, the GOP establishment unleashed the tactics of the left upon the right.
GOP insiders first dredged up 2-decade-old debunked partisan ethics charges that damaged Mr. Gingrichs reputation until the Internal Revenue Service finally exonerated him. Mr. Romney couldnt resist seeking cheap points by joining the discredited Democrats who started the whole sordid mess. Mr. Romney featured, of all people, Nancy Pelosi with her innuendo of Mr. Gingrichs supposed wrongdoing, ironically blasting out an email slur just as Mrs. Pelosi was backing away from it. Then came something even worse: the salacious insinuation that Mr. Gingrich somehow betrayed former President Ronald Reagan.
The anti-Gingrich onslaught reached an apogee on the Drudge Report as Romney allies fed one negative story after another, amassing an impressive 10 pieces on the influential website at one point. A screaming headline claimed that Mr. Gingrich had repeatedly insulted Reagan. The unseemly issue of Mr. Gingrichs second marriage managed to resurface. To cap it off, Ann Coulter, the surprising new head cheerleader for the moderate movement, enjoyed seeing her latest anti-Gingrich...

“I have never seen this side of the republican party”
1976 and 1980 when Ronaldus Magnus sought the nomination.
I wish I knew how he succeeded in 1980.
...He is a lot like Churchill. There are good moments and crappy moments....
...but I'll say this....better than the Morman dufus....
and more likely to get my vote.....
Sent a letter to Human Events from where I used to get Ann Coulter's columns. Told them if I ever received another column from her, I would cancel my subscription.
Cancelled the preset in the car radio for Michael Savage. Yeah, he's another one.
Bye-bye "tools"!
Sign me,
Someone who actually cares about this country more than your egos.
On top of everything else, we now are finding out who the real conservatives are and those that are phonies. The 'proof is in the pudding' like Grandma used to say. If the establishment succeeds in defeating Newt Gingich then let them be damned. They can then obey Hussein.
Rick Santorum is making a difference but, unfortunately it is the wrong difference. We will soon be learning if he is one of us or not. He needs to swallow defeat and join the Tea Party Patriots that are trying to restore this once great nation.
GO NEWT!
ROFLOL! Perfect! Thanks Jim, I really needed a good laugh. :)
Waving the Constitution at DC produces paroxysms among the RinoCracy...somewhat similar to what happens when waving a crucifix at the devil....
Gingrich Launches TalesofMitt.com
###
From todays Morning Score:
Newt 2012 has launched a new website to document all of Mitt Romneys flip flops and new stories trying to explain his liberal record. There are two new web videos up on the page: Which Mitt Is It? and Mitts Blind Trust Bluff. Gingrich spokesman RC Hammond goes on the attack in a forthcoming press release announcing the site:
Of course, the issue really isnt the correct understanding of blind trusts, despite Romneys convenient interpretations. Its whether voters can trust Mitt Romney. And as weve seen in 1994, 2002, 2008, and 2012, Mitt Romney will say anything and change any position just to get elected. Check out TalesofMitt.com: http://bit.ly/x4umCN.

That’s beautiful! amen
I just e-mailed Drudge I’m done with them...can’t stand seeing them pin Newt the way they are....so I’m done there.
Not that it will matter but I feel better...enough is enough.
Piss on Romney
Yep..me too...got rid of Coulter’s books...Savages are next...Done with Drudge and Faux....I can only stand my legs being kicked so long!
Oh I’m liking that!
Santorum is more like Romney than he is like Gingrich.
Oh I like TalesofMitt!
Ode to the Grand Olde Party, and their BFF, the Obamanator.
When Newt or Paul rocks the Establishment Boat,
The GOP oarsmen pull knives from their boots.
The hacking and slashing puts extreme fighting to shame,
Never, no NEVER rock the Establishment Boat!
They cannot win elections, by choice of their suits,
A RINO Nominee is a Democrat, - - - - one and the same.
Two Party as One Party is what they adore.
Never give voters a choice, or politicians
Are out of life-time jobs forever more.
As we pay our bills,
And hold our noses
As we vote,
The Obamanator holds
His cold knife to our Country’s throat - - - - .
I was 100& done with Faux 2 years ago. I have never looked back.
I think Santorum is pitching for the #2 spot.
MILF Romney.
(Moderates I’d Like to Forget).
Hello houeto...I don’t think Santorum’s going to yield until NEwt’s people ask him to, and then I’m not so sure he will...he’s already moving forward...as Bella’s out of the danger zone now...he’s off to his campaign.
If and when he does yield hopefully it will be when it matters the greatest he does so..meanwhile Ron Paul continues to cover Romneys flank.
