You’re right. I think it’s because they don’t really understand where he came from, the socialist doctrine he was raised on- i.e. Alinsky. Most folks don’t look into it that deeply, so they assume he’s just a politician-as-usual. In fact, he is the most radical leftist we’ve ever had, who saw his chance to finally fast forward the leftist agenda to “fundamental change” of this country, which the socialists have been pushing incrementally for most of the last century. He thought he had a mandate, but a lot of people who voted for him didn’t understand it either, what he wanted to do, and so have turned on him, thank God. There was a great piece in the American Thinker yesterday about why Gingrich has taken off, and how the “mainstream” pundits don’t get it. They drastically underestimate the HUGE backlash that is coming in November. We have had years and years of this crap shoved down our throats, and we are sick of it...As I told my wishy-washy boyfriend just now, now is not the time for a polite, polished, go-along-to-get-along leader (like Romney)...we are at war, and have serious business to attend to, like undoing all the crap that Obama has done. It’s going to take decades, but we need someone with the clear vision of what is needed, the ability to articulate it, and the will to begin the process. Romney is not that person. Gingrich, for all his flaws, I believe is. Our task is to try and educate people who think it’s business as usual.
