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!!!

Hahaha. :)

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!!! (and not Christie, either)

That's not going to happen. Santorum has no chance and nobody else will be steping up to the plate. The choice is Romney or Gingrich.

Ed says what I’ve been arguing in comments for the past two days, regarding polling numbers and relative strengths. He probably said it better, or at least is a better vessel to possibly convey this message.

They say it isn’t talking to yourself that is a sign of insanity, but when you start arguing with yourself.

Samwise, I do think we’re seeing the same thing here.

You are backing Newt Gingrich, so you should know all about putting a shine on that one.

"If you're a conservative, there really is only one place to go right now. I would even argue farther than that. If you're a Republican, if you're a Republican in the broadest sense, there is only one place to go right now and that's Mitt Romney." –Rick Santorum, 02/1/2008

OUCH.

Yes.

But not to worry, Mitt’s the one you’ll be voting for.

The establishment knows Gingrich is his own man. He has no more skeletons, and he knows what needs to be done to fix this country.

They see him as a loose cannon. Point is, they’ve assessed him, what he’s been saying and what he’s been doing, and they know he’ll go rogue when he gets to Washington.

Yes, of course I knew she had recovered -, at least was out of serious danger.

I actually did mention that, so what is your point?

It appears that you are trying to stir up anger. Ay least be honest in your replies to others.

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.

“1998 ACU Ratings: Gingrich 100%, Paul 88%, Santorum 84% [last year all 3 were in Congress]”

Thanks for this.

Anyone still believe Rush, or Fox News, or Drudge?

Anyone still listening to them, watching them or going to their websites?

Lifetime ACU ratings are more revealing: Gingrich 1997 ACU was 75, btw.

Gingrich thru 1998: 90
Paul thru 2009: 82
Santorum Senate thru 2008: 88

Trivia for Reference:
Joe Scarborough ACU lifetime rating: 95

Here you are SierraWasp, here was my first reply to you:

Ladysforest to SierraWasp

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.

HERE IS YOUR RESPONSE:

“”He was not with his daughter yesterday.”

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.”

We see that you tried to pretend that I did NOT mention Bella being out of immediate danger, tsk, tsk.

Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to make trouble out of nothing? Why?

Well okay... I also am leaning for Gingrich among the remaining contestants...but does that mean that I think that he is the Conservative that he pretended to be in the 90’s?

No Way!

Will I probably vote for him, yes - simply because of the candidates left in the race. Do I enthusiastically endorse him, heck no. He has changed his philosophy several times over his tenure in office and especially during his time out of office. Seems that is a problem that money creates.

This should have no causation on your put down of other Republican candidates. Be Conservative but not argumentative.
