Newt may be the choice of the base of the GOP. It would be generous to say that that would be 50% of the GOP which is 35% of the electorate. That's all he can hope to draw in the general. He won't win women. He won't win independents. Do that math...he can't win! He currently has 60% negatives. Good God almighty! And people say Santorum is fronting for Romney.
No - I am aware that he did that. Completely and perfectly the right and proper thing to do!
However, as soon as she (Bella) was out of the woods, he didn’t travel back to FL for the vote, instead he went to Nevada - Las Vegas, I believe.
He was not with his daughter yesterday.
Santorum is just wasting our time.
1998 ACU Ratings: Gingrich 100%, Paul 88%, Santorum 84% [last year all 3 were in Congress]
I don’t disagree with your statements - I did say that Santorum had a questionable voting record but if that is that case - just who do you vote for then?
I see no Republican in the race that is Conservative as you and I might describe them. Vote?
He was in Las Vegas last night during the FL vote. That is what I was referring to.
Verify it. I watched him give his little speech.
“Amazing to me that people have been putting so much lipstick on this turd, trying to dress him up as something he isn’t.”
Gingrich supporters are doing the same damn thing. They are falling all over themselves trying to spit shine that turd.
Any way you cut it we are getting stuck with the choice of the lesser of 2 evils.
There is no true Conservative in the GOP race. Romney is a Liberal through and through. Gingrich is a Global Warming, Individual Mandate loving RINO, Santorum is an East Coast Moderate, and Paul is batshit crazy....... but I will take either of them over what presently occupies the White House.
Go to your room and stand facing the corner as a "time out!" You need to review your intemperate behavior before you ultimately reach actual adulthood!!!
While the voting record might be pertinent, You and I know that Gingrich has a speculative background with liberals.
Gingrich has changed and his actions in later years does require answers.
Sitting with Polosi, Global Warming, Carbon fees, Agreeing with Romney and Obama about health insurance, ah, you know the rest...
Wow! Aren’t we freepers imploding.. shape up people..
Ginrich aint no prize, but at least he is not Romney.
C'mon. If you knew her name, then you surely knew she recovered enough for him to leave her side.
I've got to go back to work now but I'll be back to check this thread later to review all the snide comments that will undoubtedly come my way... oh well.
“He’d probably be better than Paul or Greengrich IMHO... But I wish someone with enough resources and excitement would still step up to the plate!!!”
RONG! So incorrect I misspelled it.
Thanks for the Santorum links. I like him even more now.
Yes, Santorum supports Stem Cell research ie. Adult Stem Cell not embryonic research.
Unlike Newt, Rick didn’t make his campaign about bashing capitalism and pandering to Hispanics by talking about ‘inhumane’ immigration policy. He doesn’t have divorces and affairs to deal with and he didn’t work for Freddie Mac. So I can see why many conservatives would go for Rick over Newt.
Too late. They use it. LOL
I’m for the guy mentioned in my tagline (Newt).
Is he a perfect conservative in every conceivable dimension of conservatism? Probably not. But I’m looking for someone with the right ideas, experience, and will power. And in terms of the philosophy and vision Newt has, he’s decisively on target regarding pertinent issues, in ways that matter to me most.
Can Santorum carry Pennsylvania?
If memory serves, they already gave him the boot.
It breaks my heart to see what Rush has become. Since the 2008 primaries, when he talked up Romney and ignored Thompson, I’ve been in a sort of mourning period, not wanting to accept the truth.
But truth wins over loyalty in the end. I know what Rush is, there’s no doubt in my mind.
