Let us know when the alleged whiz-bangs at TMZ stop covering gay Hollwood freaks, and find even one of the hundreds of things carefully hidden in Obama’s past.

I’ll not hold my breath, or click on that pathetic excuse for a website in the meantime.

Thanks all the same. :)

[Actually, voters like you are why we are in the toilet.]

WRONG again.........It’s BECAUSE of voters like you, we are in the toilet. “The lesser of two evils” paradox and that way of thinking, is the sole reason candidates like McCain and Romney are taking over the GOP and Conservatives are being kicked aside.

Why is it that if Romney is the nominee — or even Santorum for that matter — it is an automatic loss for us? Hasn’t the conventional wisdom been that ANYONE can beat Obama? Who is it selling this crap? We have an awesome chance of winning back the White House. All this negative BS is questionable at best, self defeating at most.

I will vote for ANYONE running against BO, no one on the republican side is near BO on destroying this country. McPain would have been a far better president. Romney may not be the best, although it seems that plenty of people do think so, but he is light years better than what we have now. But more and more I’m hearing this never vote for Romney mantra and wonder just where that is coming from? After all, it was the never vote for McCain that put BO in the White House. Just things that make me go hum when I hear this never vote for Romney. Can this country really afford your platitudes?

Quite frankly, I admire most people who become millionaires, in essence since I am not a jealous, Occupy-type class warfare socialist. It is neither illegal, nor immoral under capitalism if done honestly, and how they did it can often be instructive to other people. Somebody who lazily for years did not increase their net wealth does not have much to teach me.

“We all fall short of the Glory of God”

Maybe, some day, Jesus will run for office?

Until then, EVERY election will always be over the lesser of evils.

ALWAYS!

Yes, I find it hard to believe Newt would be dropping out. Makes no sense to me for reasons mentioned.

Keep in mind PSYCHO that these are the people who want our support, but when the shoe is on the other foot they abandon us because our candidate is “too extreme”...instances too numerous to cite.

And Abraham Lincoln won every one of his election races?

It is far, far too early to begin talking in any way, about working together with the opposition.

It helps nobody.

Until the last moment, until there simply is no alternative left, not one word of compromise.

Perhaps not, even then.

Stop planning for failure please.

I think that Newt is calling the press conference to make his Lincoln/Douglas debate challenge to Romney.

Just my take...

A bit incorrect? Herman Cain often said he had the same spitritual calling. And HE quit. (I supported him)

The country is still here after 4 years of Obama. And Obama has been on vacation, campaigning or playing Golf, for most of it.

He hired countless “Czars” to do his job for him, so he can play and live high and mighty, like a Billionaire. Obama is too stupid and incompetent to do any more damage than he already has done. Another term will get the same kind of resistance that his first 4 has.

If Romney gets in, we will have a far more difficult time, because a Corporate Oligarchy will be formed under him. Regulation will also go through the roof, to cater to and enhance the Mega-Corporation, Oligarchy model.

Romney is every bit as Liberal/Socialist as Obama, he only lacks the Marxist ideal and is more of a Nationalist Socialist, who welcomes full Government control, hand in hand with the giant Corporations.

I don't think Newt's giving up.

Well I'm not sure that I find anything about Obama and Barr humorous. lol

"With that, he announces he’s forming an independent run with Sarah Palin as his running mate, under the banner of the “Tea Party”."

So many are sick of both the R and D, it's clear we are heading to a viable 3rd party. But if your proposition were to come true, what would happen to Newt's delegates?

"Newt probably won’t waste his time in caucus states, as that requires organization on the ground."

Newt had the broadcast advertising field all to himself in Colorado for about 3 weeks, then Romney moved in with a bunch.

I'll be a candidate for delegate, I've had pretty good response so far.

It is interesting to read all the speculation ahead of the actual press conference. Many good theories. All I can say is that I hope his presser is good news for the many of us who support Newt.

Obviously you have no values and standards. No line drawn in the sand. I’m NOT a Republican. I’m a Conservative. Obamney or Obamney is no choice at all.

I agree. I wonder when the first leaks and additional speculations will start coming out and what will they be? The drama is killing me. LOL
