Gingrich: GOP will unite behind eventual nominee
Associated Press ^ | March 4th, 2012 | Unattributed

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Newt Gingrich says he has no doubts that the Republican presidential candidates who fall short of winning the nomination will unite behind the eventual nominee - despite the often tough rhetoric the contenders are throwing at each other during the campaign.

Thanks.

I won't vote for Romney. End of story.

And for those who are already trying to rally the wagons and goat and guilt-trip us into voting they just do not get it. Even if Romney gets the nomination he will be sliced and diced before the 0bama machine.

What nobody seems to be seeing is the very image Romney projects is that he is part of the dreaded 1%. He is walking Wall Street, banker, and oil baron. And if you listen to his campaign staff, it is realizing he is indeed out of touch with middle America. Discussing his wife's two Cadillacs! Yech!

We will get 4 more years of 0bama, because Romney can't win. Romney simply does not have the image for an America in recession. Romney is unelectable.

I, like others, will NOT submit to the Elitists who have chosen and promoted "their" pick (Romney-the-RINO).

I'll write-in my choice, if he's ultimately put up as the (R) Nominee.

He will NOT get my vote (I would vote for Santorum or Gingrich, as it now is left up to those two only).

My HOPE is that a brokered convention occurs, where a Conservative is Nominated.

Anyone who votes for Willard Romney is as much of an ideological sellout as he is. Would I consider voting for a RINO? Maybe, if the circumstances were important enough. But an open socialist, the father of universal health care in America? Never!

Turncoat conservatives will get no sympathy from me regarding how “hard” it is to “hold one’s nose” and pull the lever for him.

"So President Ubama would be better than President Myth?"

NO DIFFERENCE IN OUTCOME with EITHER.

However, the inner-city parasitic tribes will NOT invade suburbia in panic, IF "Myth" is ultimately foisted on the Public.

Imagine inheriting a beautiful vintage home. It has been a very dark and desperate time in your life and you can not believe your luck, as you had no idea this could be happening. You are given the key and you enter. All the original woodwork, in just about pristine condition. The lovely hardwood floors, still shine. The multiple fireplaces in perfect working condition. The exterior brick is flawless, sitting on an immaculately landscaped estate-like property. As you look around, you glide up the winding staircase, all three floors hold your attention. Suddenly, you open a door that goes into a storage attic that is empty, save one very large chest. You slowly open it, and you can not believe your eyes. There are many old maps, original handwritten historical documents written by founding fathers. The chest is brimming with old rare coins. There are civil war relics, it is a remarkable find of immense value and history. You have discovered a national treasure, Newt Gingrich.

I’m a mormon, I served in the military. Retired Navy. I knew of many other mormons who served as well.

Real conservatives don’t make stuff up. That’s what seperates us from the dems.

Are you one of those leftie plants?

"I think the Republican elites don’t want to win the White House this time."

Nor did they want to win the last election. Sarah tried her BEST to pull mclame over that finish line and they fought her every step of the way.

This country is in deep doodoo.

I think you’re wrong here. The largest and most united constituency in the republican party is the ABOers.

******************
If you were right, Rick and Newt would not collectively have more votes than the Gop-e’s Mr. Electability. Right?

This is a test, if it turns out it is Romney then the GOP needs to engineer a win with out me. If they win so be it. Just win with out me. After this election, I am leaving by the right side door. I’ve voted for my last RINO.

Bailee’s SWAG on Delegates Super Tuesday.

Ga-Newt,Santorum,Mittens-2&3 will be close.
TN-Newt,Santorum,Mittens-1&2 will be close.
Ok-Santorum,Newt,Mittens-1&2 will be close.

OH-Mittens,Santorum,Newt-1&2 will be close.
ID-Mittens
VT-Mittens
VA-Mittens

Look where the Candidates are Campaigning.
Santorum has 2 events in OK and 1 in OH(Miamisburg-pop 20k).
Mittens has 3 events in OH(Canton,Youngstown,Zanesville-pops-73k,67k,25k)
Newt has 1 event in ID(Callin). 3 events in TN. 3 events in OK.

Can some of the pro Santorum tell us why he only has 1 event planned in OH with him slipping in the OH polls. Mittens is already moving his campaign out into the Smaller Cities. Leaving me to believe he is feeling confident in the larger population cities like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati.

Not trying to stir the pot. Santorum has to hold the line in OH.

Not seeing anything that I said as being a victim of anything.

Simply stating the truth about how Romney will be pilloried by the 0bama machine.

If you can’t actually see that coming...I guess you can’t hear the train whislte either.

Thanks so much. It is exactly how I feel about Newt, a treasure found in desperate times. You can post it wherever you like, if it could help.

If Romney puts Santorum or Gingrich on the ticket he might get conservatives in.

I fell for that last time and voted for Palin. Never again.

If Mitt heads the ticket, I will write in Palin. If he selected Palin as VP, I would not fall for that again. Mitt will not get my vote period.

So put him up there you E-Pubs and se what happens.

Please, you can’t look at it that way. At the very least, Romney will do a few things to get the engine of the economy shifted back to the private sectors.

Some of us will have the honor of fighting against barack with our Chosen Candidate, I am believing I will be one of those with Newt. Others will just have to fight against Obama. Either way, Obama must go.

I consider this the solution: On Jan 21, 2013, tpartiers, evangelicals, christians, all conservatives convene and decide on a candidate to primary willard in 2016. You can lay a lot of track in 4 years. Meanwhile, he can be a placeholder. He will do less damage in 4 years than Obama will to the ship of state. That is a truth. If it comes to it, romney buys a little time, and the patriots regroup.

Newt may be right.

But I am a conservative, I am NOT GOP.

The Republican party is no friend of Conservatives.

I won’t vote for a liberal. I don’t give a damn what party they are in or who the alternative is.

I will NOT vote for Romney, on any ticket, for any position, under ANY circumstance.

Hopefully by 2016 there will emerge a real Tea Party candidate in the Republican Party

It will always be Next Time, because they feel you have to vote against the other guy, so they will keep doing this to us as long as we all for it.
