Birmingham, AL - Monday, March 12, 2012 The Alabama Republican Party hosts a presidential candidate forum with Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum at the Alabama Theatre in Birmingham. AL Candidates Forum: Live at 6:30pm (ET) on C-SPAN. The Alabama Republican Primary is Tuesday, March 13. Fifty Republican delegates are at stake.
I was not happy! it is a looooooooooooong poll! and I am now convinced it is rigged against Newt. In the end they said the results may be checked on rasmussen.com...this entire election sucks!
Newt on Greta tonight!
It's rigged in so many places I think peoples heads would spin if we knew all the ways they're trying to keep Newt out of the race.
But most of all they're trying to make it "appear" he's not significant.....that perception, as you expereinced in that poll....is just one of many IMO.
Just goes to show that power, money, connections etc. can buy anyone, any business, any organization....it's like a game of craps....and yes it majorly sucks! An d frankly becuase it's gotten so rigged this will be tmy last year "fighting" if Newt doesn't get it.
I will be focusing my time and efforts entirely on my family and securing all I can before the SHTF...
REPLAY IN 25 MIN.
I have been polled several times. Most have been fair. Only one was an obvious push poll. They were upset when I refused to answer one of their ridiculous questions.
In Rasmussen’s defense, they do matchups between the leading contenders. Some days they seem to include only Romney and Santorum; other days only Gingrich and Paul; some days they do all four.
Unfortunately Ricks convictions have not always been as he states....and being from Pa, seeing how he voted and operated here to advance his career with his interests first and foremost at the front I cannot see him handling the office of this Presidency by any means.
This country has just one chance now to turn it around...Rick doesn't have the tools needed to do that in a timely fashion....he brings to the table nothing convincing me that he can hit the ground running....and we will need just that and fast after Obama is finished.
How Rick looked is how he has looked before...he does have an issue about sweating in the cameras as others have noted before this. But he did not come across to me as what he spoke about he genuinely can say are his own ideas and thoughts.....rather he's trying to articulate what he should say rather than be himself. So he's not fooling those of us who know him here in PA.
Katie,
The polls have only one goal: to influence the public opinion, not to get a honest temperature on any issue. If you bomb the country 24/7 with gazillions of skewed “polls”, the naive and uniformed people will vote as the polls tell them to.
That’s why the media invented the concept of “electability”. Rass. don’t ask about NEWT, because the media “decided” he is not “electable”. They are trying to kill his campaign and manipulate the electorate.
WHY in the world would we listen to what the leftist media tells us? Their goal is Obama’s reelection, so they deliberately “eliminate” the only candidate who can beat him, and the GOP elite is complicit in this political crime.
I never answer to phone polls.
....I pray for God's sovereign will in this election........but I petition that it will be Rick Santorum.
I thank God that there is a candidate who gives me HOPE.
Rick Santorum is that candidate.
You all can say what you want about your candidate....you're proud of him ...FINE!...I get it.
..but I sure wish you would all stop beating up on mine.
I don't beat up on yours.
How about it?

Get your butt out there and move those signs!! Much more important. You can always catch up on this later. Now move it!!!!!
Go Newt (Oh, and thank you for getting signs out).
Speaking for myself, I followed the thread for a while but not much interested in a couple of pages ripping Santorum apart and the rest cheerleading for Newt. I tune in because I like to talk about what the candidates are saying.
On that note, I thought they both did well tonight. Rick does better when talking about core principles and freedome thus the slow start. But I'd gladly support either candidate if they're the nominee. Just praying it's one of them and not Romney.
I was working, and missed the whole thing. Sometimes I hate being in the Oil industry, there is no such thing as a scheduled break or time off. You have to take what you can, when you can.
It looks like I missed a lot of good things from the Master tonight.
Like I said to you earlier, it appears like it wound up like I preedicted. I would have loved to be there for it!
Be safe and free from harm in your travels! GO NEWT!
It’s replaying now. Newt goes second so there’s time to catch him if you want.
Isa 56:10 His watchmen [are] blind: they are all ignorant, they [are] all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
There is no excuse with the amount of videos and information out on the net with Newt's clear presentation of what this country needs.
I have close conservative friends who have fallen for the Elite Media/GOP-E presentation of Newt. It frustrates me that when I tell them what he is saying, they have no clue. Too busy with their day to day lives to invest time in their children's futures.
I have swayed many and will continue to do so. Talk to everyone you can, post on Facebook, Twitter, talk at work during breaks and lunches.....
I just posted what transpired on Newt’s site and I called Rasmussen and left a message ..also, emailed them and gave them hell
BTTT!!!
Thank you so much! I will!
