Not all of Newt's would go to Rick. Some of us do not want him in the presidency. He would get some, I would think but I think more would go to Romney. Me and hubby have decided to do a write in for Newt-this maybe our last time for voting as registered republicans. We just want reforms for our kids generation.

BS. There’s people in the background not matching up.

I want someone to go down swinging, not standing vainly with his knee on the bow as the ship of State sinks into darkness. We are up against street fighters. We need a SEAL, not Thomas More. And certainly not the ‘Lightbringer’ occupant now residing in the White Hut.

I have had 9 automated Romney calls today. All attacked Rick Santorum. Romney is the bottom feeder of politics in my book.

Assuming Romney gets the nomination.....
Obviously Romney believes in the power of negative advertising but is he too chickenshit to take a black man down, is he afraid of being called racist? The real test is, does Romney have the cojones to unleash as forcefully against the semi-Kenyan? 

Obama's minions can't wait to dredge up Mormon history of being a racist church. Will this deter Romney from slamming Obama with negative advertising

The dual party system is about to shift on its axis. In the great depression, the distinguishing axis was that of socialism vs individual rights. During WWII and the Cold War, the distinguishing axis was socialism vs national defense. Now we’re going back to the socialism vs individual rights.

Seeing the pattern? We have to quash socialism once and for all. Get rid of the red menace, and everything else will resolve itself.

What to expect: the republican party is going to split, the “Tea Party” will form, the big government socialists will go to the democrat party and the republican party will cease to exist. In the democrat party, the moral conservatives will go to the Tea Party, and the socialists will remain. For this election cycle, Romney will win, and will be the last Republican (in name) president. During his reign, the representatives and senators will start taking sides, of the aisle, literally. The left (democrats) will support Romney, the right (Tea Partyers) will oppose him.

Gingrich and Palin will be elected in four years under the new Tea Party.

I may be wrong, but, I have always believed that Romney and his minions were behind all the smears against Sarah Palin. I don’t trust the guy, and he’ on my crap list right next to obama. I still haven’t decided if I’ll vote for him if he is the nominee, but, with him waving that arrogance flag - that we’ll all fall in step to vote for him - makes me furious.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

"I challenge Gov. Romney and his super PAC to pledge to take every negative ad about every Republican off the air, because it dishonors them, it weakens the Republican Party, and it helps Barack Obama,"

Someone needs to remind Newt that this won't do any good. Mitt despises the GOP and doesn't mind helping the socialist in our White House. Newt needs to give Romney a reason that Mitt would care about.

“..he and the GOP-e know the plan and they are laughing at their useful idiot from Georgia.”

So, let them laugh. They laughed at the Contract with America too. The British laughed at George Washington. Washington only had to keep the British from winning to win the war. Newt has 175,000 donors. If they all gave an average of $200, that would equal $35 million. This isn’t over by a long shot, but even if it was, I would rather go down fighting.
