Romney and Gingrich are both RINO’s at heart, and will be indistinguishable if elected president.

Both have flip flopped on mandates, amnesty, etc to the point we can’t trust either one of them.

NEITHER.

Newt has just reinvented himself to fit what he believes will get him elected.

He thinks Repubs are so stupid(apparently he’s right according to polls) to remember the years of Lobbying (consulting. And his embrace of Global Warming and Dummie policies like OBAMACARE. He even worked with KERRY to get his clients interest addressed. You know those electronic records everyone was yelling about........NEWT.

"Romney was never brutalized like the moronic author says.
Romney has gotten off scot-free. The MSM and National Review
act as his personal proctologists.
Heck, I endorse Milt. He is one of us.

“it’s not altogether clear that Gingrich is that far to the right of Romney. ‘

Ridiculous assertion. There is no question that Gingrich is and would govern as a conservative, whereas Romney is merely an opportunist with no real convictions.

This article is a pathetic attempt to push Romney. Jonah Goldber should be asamed of himself.

My gut is that Newt would govern much more conservatively than Mitt. Reason: Mitt lies about his positions and record. And moves between alternate positions on the same issue with the deftness of his hairdresser apply grey to his temples.

Let’s not find out. Let’s get a real conservative as the nominee. I am firing off another check to Michelle Bachmann before it is too late.

Romney looks like the picture that comes with the frame. Gingrich looks like he should be ensconced in royal velvet as he gestures at you with a half-eaten turkey leg in one hand and a sloshing goblet of wine in the other.

I laughed out loud at that one.

Newt has been a movement conservative. He would tear the executive establishment asunder.

Mitt would buy them all new staplers.

I’m voting for Cain in the primary (if he’s still standing), and will support Newt if he’s the nominee. Will not vote for Mitt even if he is the nominee. Unlike Mitt, either Cain or Newt can rally the conservative base to exitement levels that will allow a sweep of the congress. I’m hoping they team up.

Romney could not help to pull a single congressman or senator into office. He’s bland, bland, bland.

The northeast country club Republicans are not happy with Gingrich. He is a southerner with a proven conservative record as Speaker. He didn’t go to the right colleges. He not one of THEM.

They, with the help of Democrats, already drummed him out of office on false charges one time. Now, like a ghostly apparition in a horror movie, he has returned to threaten their chosen one - Romney, the successor to McCain.

However, the logic presented by Goldberg is baffling. Romney, admittedly the more liberal one of the two, will govern to the right to avoid displeasure from the Republican congress. Gingrich, the more conservative, will govern to the left to prove he can reach across the isle.

Really Jonah?

My feeling exactly. I can’t trust them. They’ll drop us the moment the convention is over and swing left.

HELL, NO! I got principles. What part of double-crossing us does the establishment not get?

“My gut is that Newt would govern much more conservatively than Mitt.”

One of the few times I agree with you.

If I have to pick between these two, I will go with Newt.

I am still looking at santorum.
