>> Gingrich, however, embodies the vanity and rapacity that make modern Washington repulsive

Said Will...

[iowamark]

George Will calling Gingrich pompous. Look in the gilded mirror, George.

[mirkwood]

Sometimes NO really does mean NO!

[mylife]

I don’t need to read this article to know that Will the shill is shilling for Romney.

[maine-iac7]

Will - you used to have a brain - long time passing.

Give it up - you’re so transparent it’s laughable, RommneyBOt

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

All we needed was for one to run.

Still leaning Cain.

[mylife]

Well, shut my mouth!

Will isn’t shilling for Romney!

[Huck]

There is almost artistic vulgarity in Gingrich’s unrepented role as a hired larynx for interests profiting from such government follies as ethanol and cheap mortgages. His Olympian sense of exemption from standards and logic allowed him, fresh from pocketing $1.6 million from Freddie Mac (for services as a “historian”), to say, “If you want to put people in jail,” look at “the politicians who profited from” Washington’s environment.

Damn. This is the best thing I've read from Will in a LONG time. I love the unvarnished contempt and disgust. I can feeeel the hate!

Mitt Romney, a conservative

Not wasting another minute on George Will after reading that idiotic phrase.

Mitt Romney is the most liberal Governor in American history. He unilaterally imposed sodomite fake marriage, socialized medicine, implemented $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions, homosexualized state government and the government schools, and banned guns with gusto. And more.

The Republican Party is dead. The sooner conservatives face up to that fact the sooner we can get down to the serious business of saving this free republic.

[maine-iac7]

Is anyone else having as much fun as I am watching the utter puzzlement and dismay of the Establishment pubbies who just cannot figure out “What's gone wrong! It's Mittens ‘turn. That's the way it's done! WE rule!.”

Back before I became an ole great granny, back in my politically active days, this “Who's turn is it” practice in putting up candidates frustrated the he*l out of me.

It's the Achilles Heel of the Republican Party.

It's exhilarating to see WE the PEOPLE deciding who our candidate will be and breaking that too long held control of the elitist Establishment Cocktail insiders.

Even Ann Coulter is shrieking - well, turned it up a notch.

I am smiling just thinking of the day when it's official and their boy is NOT the nominee. I will enjoy seeing Will's face - and Rove and the rest of the pompous as*hats when they realize their gravy-glitter train is OVER.

And the new President didn't to to Harvard or Yale. Horrors. (IOW, not trained in One-World 101.)

[Cincinatus' Wife]

What a spot-on OpEd.

Food for thought:

Jon Huntsman inexplicably chose to debut as the Republican for people who rather dislike Republicans, but his program is the most conservative. He endorses Paul Ryan’s budget and entitlement reforms. (Gingrich denounced Ryan’s Medicare reform as “right-wing social engineering.”) Huntsman would privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Gingrich’s benefactor). Huntsman would end double taxation on investment by eliminating taxes on capital gains and dividends. (Romney would eliminate them only for people earning less than $200,000, who currently pay just 9.3 percent of them.) Huntsman’s thorough opposition to corporate welfare includes farm subsidies. (Romney has justified them as national security measures — food security, somehow threatened. Gingrich says opponents of ethanol subsidies are “big-city” people hostile to farmers.) Huntsman considers No Child Left Behind, the semi-nationalization of primary and secondary education, “an unmitigated disaster.” (Romney and Gingrich support it. Gingrich has endorsed a national curriculum.) Between Ron Paul’s isolationism and the faintly variant bellicosities of the other six candidates stands Huntsman’s conservative foreign policy, skeptically nuanced about America’s need or ability to control many distant developments.

I was for Cain. I figured he was the best to run against the Political Class, being well-spoken and having never even held elective office.

But if Cain can't make it, where to turn? I prefer Gingrich to Romney, but sheesh! the guy has enough baggage to fill both Air Force Ones! Maybe Huntsman or the lovely tax lawyer or the tongue-tied successor to Sam Houston?

Will’s wife works for the Perry Campaign. Does he disclose this FACT?

[mmanager]

They have succeeded in taking Cain out, knocked Perry down to size and now Newt’s up to bat with the MSM. All part of their plan to give us Romney.

[Berlin_Freeper]

It’s not like George F. Will has been carrying the MSM’s water for decades... /s

[wardaddy]

Will is in no position to lecture on anything but bi focals and bowties

Kilpatrick was real conservative from that era....JJ

[Joe 6-pack]

Santorum gets the Joe 6-pack endorsement.

It's a good hill on which to die; the only decent one of the lot.

[BunnySlippers]

America will regret a Gingrich nomination.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Let me guess, he’s supporting Perry because his wife works for Perry? Conflict of interest, anyone?

[A.Hun]

Will is exactly right about Newt.

What a terrible mess America, and FR, are in.
