Egomaniacs R Us: Trump to pick Newt
Washington Post ^ | 2/2/12 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 02/02/2012 5:37:18 PM PST by KansasGirl

By Jennifer Rubin Herman Cain, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Sarah Palin and now, it seems, Donald Trump have lined up behind Newt Gingrich. It’s convenient to have a candidate like Gingrich who attracts the unserious, the unpresidential, the uninformed and the unpalatable all in one convenient locale. It saves the time and effort needed to determine who is a credible Republican and who is not (Gingrich supporters). The move is yet another boost for Rick Santorum, who definitely is in the category of responsible and credible candidates (whatever you think of his views) and has been struggling to wean the base off its attraction to Gingrich.

Snip

And all of these pro-Newt characters share a penchant for extreme, nasty rhetoric with a disdain for productive governance.

Snip

Really, what’s next for Newt — a Duke Cunningham endorsement from a jail cell?

But, they will get huge mileage out of that the “Fire Twins”, and it will be another of the death knells that signals Mitt’s loss to Obama.

Trump knows it, too. I assume he’s in it to lose.

What happened to the conservatives? have we dwindled down to just a few? if either Obama or Romney win...we are finished. Our country is going down the toilet. The Coulters, Trumps, Romneys, MSM, Faux, Rove all live in a different elitist world.

Wondering the same thing myself Katie.

It's getting where there is nowhere to find solid conservative thought anymore. Rush is little more than an entertainer at this point, and while I believe Mark Levin is rock solid, at the end of a long diatribe he says, "but I'm still going to vote for whoever our candidate is, even if its Romney."

True conservatives have one alternative it seems (well, besides Free Republic, of course) and that is get out of the way. Even rock solid Tea Party people seem to be swept along by all of this. Oh well, for me nothing has changed...

I will NEVER vote for Mitt Romney!!

I won’t sell my soul and vote for RomObama. Not ever. I voted for McCain and we know what a jerk he turned out to be...love this country (what is left of it may be a memory) too much. No one will cram that pos rino down my throat..ever.

Been saying the same thing Katie.
They have been living in their elitist north east DC bubble world and have no clue how we have to count pennies, to go without etc.

I think what we have is conservatives around the country spread out and many feel boxed in by their big mouth liberal pals, neighbors workers etc so therefore they stay silent on such issues like marriage etc.

I do not however LOL

FOX has lost me since they did their attacks on Newt.
Is it too much to ask for news coverage with out the host bringing up their bias?
The likes of Megyn Kelly got me so pissed off that her show will never appear in my house after how she attacked that shrink and her pushing her cross dressing homosexual agenda because she has pals who are that.
Now Sally Khon who is mates with Kelly is hired at FOX.

A media matters, homosexual activist stooge now works at FOX, what is that about

OK rant over LOL

Yes, that’s the whole point. She wrote this when she thought he was endorsing Newt not Romney.

Maybe Jim Robinson needs to buy an am radio station...The Free Republic and broadcast out of Fresno. Bet the audience would sky rocket! manc, it is so pathetic..lol..I have to google and research my own news and look up votes, past records and bypass the media. I even hate to use google...what a messed up mess we are in...bet if all the conservatives lived in ONE state..that state would be a success IF they could keep the govt OUT of their lives...I am done with Fox and drudge. FR is my only outlet and God help me if this site changes.
