Establishment Republicans now know without a doubt that the base, its leaders and luminaries, can get to the point of total disgust with the GOP, and they will still fall in line.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not me. If Newt doesn’t beat Romney, after falling in line in 2008 and in 2010, this conservative will vote for Obama.
Romney doesn’t have enough delegates yet.
People who endorse the leftist establishment candidate should turn in their Conservative cards.
Coercion of conservative radio hosts to get them to say they support Romney is a necessary step for him to get the nomination.
But at this point, Romney still doesn’t have it in the bag.
I am praying for a miracle. If I don’t get it (and I probably won’t), I have no idea what I will do in November.
Very few people, especially the high-profile ones, will be able to resist the onslaught of the establishment pressure to push Mitt Romney over the finish line, the hand-picked candidate who they have been declaring “inevitable” since before he launched the weakest primary run for the Republican nomination in as long as most people can remember.
Anyone who does stand up to the establishment elites in Washington and their Wall Street masters is to be revered as a true patriot and exalted as an unwavering hero to the conservative cause.
I respect your dream, but I live in realville...
I am in commiefornia and when it comes time to vote, I will be voting for Newt.
Sincerely, 95% of all Republicans

Newt Gingrich vs. Mitt Romney; Comparing Conservative Products of Work

With Rick Santorum’s recent departure from the 2012 presidential sweepstakes, the Republican establishment aided and abetted by self-identified “conservative” voters has just ensured the re-election of Barack Obama.
That’s a view widely held by real conservatives, not just my own view.
The GOP now fields one of the most disliked, ruthlessly ambitious, untruthful, problematic candidates for president in recent memory. Never before in modern history has a Republican presidential candidate been so overtly manipulative of the political process, or of the public mind, than Mitt Romney. (You’d have to revisit Obama’s media-driven, illusion-based 2008 Democratic candidacy to see something comparable). As a result, rarely has the Republican base been left with so unpopular a choice.

Newt Gingrich to hold forum in Richardson [Texas this Monday] Former House Speaker and Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich is scheduled to hold a public forum Monday in Richardson.
The meeting is set for 4 p.m. at Pappasito's Cantina, 723 Central Expressway. Space is limited and the audience will be part of a 30-mintue question and answer period. ..
Three Years After Tea Party Rallies, Perry Presses On [skinning the budget monster - again] .........."The rallies have subsided, and the ideas of the Taxed Enough Already folks have been subsumed into the mainstream Republican Party. Perry is still working it, though. On Monday, he will unveil a financial pledge and challenge candidates in Texas to sign on, agreeing to oppose new taxes and tax increases, to cut "duplicative" programs and agencies in state government, and to push budget ideas that he has been touting for years, like requiring lawmakers to spend state revenue collected for specific programs on those programs, instead of diverting the money to other uses...........magine how it might work for someone with the power of public office. Perry can support or oppose Republicans in elections a strong card to play with just six weeks left before the primaries. After the general election, lawmakers will walk into a legislative session where the guy with the pledges has veto power over their bills.".....
I really didn’t want any of the GOP’s current candidates, but I listened to Newt’s NRA speech over the weekend and I think I might actually vote for him. I’m not thrilled with Newt, but there’s no way I’m voting for Romney.
Heck Karl Rove already stated that the conservatives will have a temper tantrum over romney but they'll get in line just the same. They already "know"...there's no wait to it in their minds. They've been here before...nothings changed from their perspective.
Newt said 3 minutes into this speech on Saturday that he got 6,000 donations since Santorum dropped out.
To me, Newt is still extremely flawed. I don’t even trust him as a conservative. At all. He is pro illegals and pro global warming. He is not a good person and he doesn’t have good economic skills.
This is not about how to get a great man into the Whiite House. My vote in CA will be for Newt if he is still in, only as a protest vote against Romney. It is ridiculous to turn Newt into something he is not. He’s not even close to being as good a presidential candidate as Sarah Palin, and she has some pretty big flaws herself. Still, I would think she could be a great President. Newt couldn’t be, but he’d be better than Romney.
The main goal should be to have anyone but Obama in the White House. He is not American and he is communist. He is an ENEMY at our head. Far better to have a “normal” Democrat in there than a foreign stealth enemy there. And Mitt Romney is kind of a normal Democrat.
Leave everything you've got on the field for Newt... Because We Don't Quit.
It’s apparently official...Cain is IN with Romney now. Cain said it is time to move along! I never did trust him or his 999 plan.
