“But, did you hear Newt? Did you hear that fight in him? He’s ready to debate Obama right now, tonight and beat him. Really, I didn’t see a lot of difference between Santorum or Newt but there was a difference and it was Newt is ready to fight, fight and fight. ... He has my vote.”

Yesssss!

For Newt after Santorum goes stark raving, March ‘improving economy’, Mad(ness)..........."Prior to Santorum’s weekend remarks conceding economic issues to the failed Democratic incumbent, we thought we had cast our Stone Mountain of Georgia precinct primary vote for the best candidate to evict the American economy wrecking machine, also married to Michelle, from the White House. Our trust was betrayed.

Hopefully, our present advocacy for Gingrich that we hope is heeded by Alabamians and Mississippians voting in Tuesday’s next installment of Newt’s I-85 Primary, won’t be betrayed before the sun sets on March Madness after the Kentucky Wildcats finally deliver a national championship to Coach Calipari.".....

I would very much like to see Gingrich take Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas.

Do you have a “quote”” where Rick said he was pro-abortion?

At least he wasn't necking with Nancy on a luv seat on the beach about global warming—saying the Obamacare type individual mandate was a good idea, called Paul Ryan's budget Right Wing social engineering called socialist FDR (not Reagan) the greatest president of the 20th Century, screwed around on not one but TWO wives...

I can go on and on—and provide quotes.
Try not to make a pro-Newt thread just another Santorum hate fest,ok?

Voters need to wrap their heads around the fact that Santorum endorsed Romney in 2008.

Here is something else the voters need to recall (since the GOP-e and the MSM has been working 24-7 to crush Newt):

Gingrich wins Union Leader endorsement "GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich received the endorsement of the influential editorial board of the New Hampshire Union Leader on Sunday, providing another boost to his surging campaign.

The endorsement gives the former House Speaker additional momentum after a month which has seen him vault to the top of national GOP polls.

"We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing," said the editorial by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid.

"A lot of candidates say they're going to improve Washington. Newt Gingrich has actually done that, and in this race he offers the best shot of doing it again," he added.

The Gingrich campaign said it was "honored to have the endorsement," calling it "an enormous boost to our campaign," reported NBC News.

The Union Leader endorsement is highly regarded in the early primary state. Candidates often meet with the editorial board and place great emphasis on securing its backing.

The failure to win the board's endorsement may be a setback for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign which has struggled to win support from Tea party-affiliated voters and the right-wing of the GOP base.

Drew Cline, editorial page editor for the Union Leader, spoke about the board's decision on CNN Sunday morning. Cline said that the board's "two favorites were probably Perry, Gingrich."

He added that the board, which failed to endorse Romney in 2008 as well gave "every candidate serious consideration."

However explaining his view on the difference between the two candidates, he added that "Romney's a guy who wants to be liked, a politician who wants to be liked. Gingrich is a politician who wants to be respected."...........

For Mr. Santorum will not initiate anything, Mr. Gingrich should do the followings:
1. Announce that HE WILL ONLY campaign in Louisiana, NY, Arkansas, TX, New Mexico, and Montana.
2. Encourage his avid supporters like myself to vote for Santorum in Missouri, Wisconsin, Penn., West Virginia, Cali., Kentucky, South Dakota, Nebraska.
3. Tell Ron Paul’s supporters that he will make Dr. Paul the Secretary of Treasury in his administration to reign on the Fed if he get elected.
4. Tell Santorum’s supporters to see them and Mr. Santorum in the brokered convention if they work hard for him in the states he will campaign.

There is no chance both Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Santorum can force a brokered convention if they divide the conservative votes between them, in reality, divide delegates equally 3-way among them and Romney in all conservative states and yield all delegates to Romney in more liberal primaries. Please check the numbers here:

They have to take turn to beat up on Romney to force a brokered convention where they can have a chance to fight another day. Otherwise, it is all over soon as Romney will have more than enough delegates to clinch the nomination.
I can’t stomach my priests having to give out Communion to lesbians or marry homosexuals in church and force my kids to sit there and watch, or to witness them kissing each others in public.
All the sexual promiscuities will take place if Romney nationalizes same-sex marriage as he did in Massachusetts.

I disagree. It is unwise to limit a campaign.

If either Santorum or Newt reach >50% in the state level or congressional district levels, he will collect ALL the allocated delegates leaving none for Romney.

If they both campaign for the same delegates at the same CD or state, they will never achieve >50% votes, therefore, the allocated delegates at that particular CD or state will be awarded proportionally to all three candidates plus Ron Paul.

Unfortunate!

So bringing up Rick's past negatives is ok but not Newt's?

And Newt is STILL in favor of the individual mandate and if he can't debate Obama on THAT really big issue he is a defeated man walking.

I'm a Santorum supporter and when he is unfairly smeared I defend him and I don't care when or where..

Do you have a “quote”” where Rick said he was pro-abortion?

Here's the top quote on the page:

Rick Santorum: "I Was Basically Pro-Choice All My Life, Until I Ran for Congress"

Oh THAT old thing from 23 years ago when he was running in a liberal state for the first time.
Showed he was ambiguous about some aspects of the abortion issue but definitely NOT pro-abortion—his views were, at the time, with President Bush the elder—IOW- a moderate Republican.

Long ago and far away.
