Sarah Palin is correct. Vote for Newt so the vetting process continues. The longer the primary season continues, the clearer picture we have of the GOP candidates. Bishop Romney, Santorum and Ron Paul appear to be entering the world of SMALLVILLE. As time goes on Romney continues to try to buy the nomination and he continues to expose himself as a Moderate on issues, ie. He just proposed that hikes in US minimum wage should be tied to the inflation rate. Most conservatives know this would be a job killer especially for entry level jobs. Bishop Romney also said that...

Unlike Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney has not detailed or spoken of his policy positions in detail. Why? Is Romney an empty suit? Trump said he endorsed Romney based his talking about China and OPEC oil cartel. I have not heard one detailed policy speech about China or oil from Romney. Romney's web page only has cursory mentions of China, no detail. Compare Romney's student council level of speeches with the detailed speeches and web page content give by Newt Gingrich. Newt.org. Trump's speeches and TV appearances are extremely shallow and devoid of any detail. He repeats his sentences over and...

The video link at breitbart.tv is both instructional and revealing. It gives Romney's Mormon family history including the polygamy of his great-grandfather. Some may think that this is unfair journalism. Others would agree that when the GOP is vetting a candidate for President, the GOP should get this info out there before Obama's team uses it to destroy Romney if he is in the general election. What do you think? The Breitbart.tv link is below. http://www.breitbart.tv/msnbcs-odonnell-whiter-than-white-romney-tried-to-rewrite-ethnicity/

Graham said that what Gingrich did as Speaker back in the 90's while Bill Clinton was President was something to praise and appreciate. Graham was in the House while Gingrich was Speaker. This points out something to me. Truth is very important. It should be. For Santorum and Romney to cloudy the truth about Gingrich to garner votes is despicable. During the month of February, the Truth about Gingrich's legislative and conservative success will be clarified. Also, the Truth about Santorum's spotty success and spotty conservatism will be clarifies. Lindsay Graham has begun the Gingrich clarification.

I am totally in touch with Newt's call for PEOPLE POWER, since as an American Citizen and resident of liberal New York State, I feel helpless. NY State needs many reforms, but our representatives fail to deliver. For example, NY needs to be a Right to Work State and it needs to get rid of the Tri-borough Amendment which guarantees Teachers and Municipal Union employees the present day contract remains in effect until a new contract is agreed to (causes ever-escalating union contracts). These 2 union perks in NY State have caused NY State to be last or close to...

Tonight after the Florida Primary results were posted, Rick Santorum spoke from Las Vegas, Nevada. He said that he was staying above the fray, above the mud-slinging between Romney and Gingrich. We all know the only reason that he has not been hit with much mud from Romney or Gingrich is that his lower position in the primaries. He boasted that he was more positive than the others. However, since Gingrich is a mortal threat to Romney, Romney started the NEGATIVE ads against Gingrich. Gingrich had to counter with negative ads toward Romney or drop out of the race. Santorum...

The Conservative Movement is in crunch time. We are keeping score and taking names. Rick Santorum is definitely hurting the Conservative Movement by announcing far-reaching plans to stay in the race. This severely holds back the Conservative consolidation under Gingrich. Does Rick Santorum even know what the Conservative Movement is? He is damaging himself severely with Conservatives. We will be watching him daily to see if he keeps ignoring the predicament of the conservative movement. He will continue to get Black Stars for his arrogance and stupidity. Todd Palin, Mike Reagan and Herman Cain get Gold Stars for the selfless...

The US Conservative Movement has come to a moment of truth. For the movement to survive and win, we conservatives must stop being politically correct and call a spade a spade. Rick Santorum is now HURTING the Conservative Movement. Let's join Jim Robinson of Free Republic, to ask, urge and definitely PRESSURE Rick Santorum to drop out and endorse Newt Gingrich. This is not time to play around with nice words, like "He has the right to stay in." Rick Santorum must be told that if he is a true Conservative, he must push the current Conservative Movement by preventing...

Have you been watching some of the Florida primary rallies and speeches on TV? Be Honest. Do you agree with me that Gingrich seems more Presidential speaking of ideas, plans and methods of executing those plans, whereas the Romney is basically the Chief Cheerleader at his rallies with many pretty family faces and feel good phoniness? Translation--Romney would be a caretaker president with shallow ideas and major benefactors, such as Wall St.and Mormon Church backers. Translation--Gingrich will be a true change agent leading Washington and the country to focus on preserving the principles of our great country for our children...

I don’t mind Mormons, such as Chaffetz and Bay Buchanan pushing a candidate, such as Romney, but I still say Americans in general should look into and consider that Mormon pundits and politicians’ may be directed by the religious leaders such as the current Mormon president and prophet to act in the interest of Mormonism and Mormon business interests first and the American people second. Congressman Chaffetz and Bay Buchanan, Mormon converts, are following Gingrich campaign to distract news people from Newt's presentation. It seems that Romney followers are motivated by the orders of Mormon leaders. If you have children...

Remember how Jeremiah Wright's influence on Obama was not thoroughly vetted in 2007 race? Let's not make the same mistake now. The GOP & Media Must investigate and expose, before the DEMs and mainstream do, Romney, who is a Mormon clergyman, and his Lifetime Promises to the Mormon Church and Mormon Objectives. We Must Find Out any Romney-Mormon Conflict of Interest Now! Romney is a Mormon priest and highest level member of the Mormon Church. Many Freepers have said that the Mormon Church is as much a business as it is a religion. I am appalled at the lack scrutiny...

Does the thought of Mitt Romney, a devout Mormon and Mormon leader, becoming President scare you? After reading this testimonial of an ex-Mormon ((http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_packham/why.html)), I am scared of Mitt Romney becoming President. Remember when Barack Obama was seeking the nomination in 2008, his 20 year attendance at Jerimiah Wright's church where radical preaching took place was glossed over by the American public and the press. I say we do not make the same mistake with Mitt Romney and his leadership role in the Mormon Church. In the GOP nominating process, let's explore Mitt's Mormon beliefs. Am I totally off base?...

After enduring tons of lies and half-truths from Romney's spin maching, Newt Gingrich finally cleared the air this week to establish himself as the heir of Ronald Reagan's Conservative Principles and Actions. The coup de grace was Nancy Reagan's direct quote saying that Ronald Reagan passed the Torch of Conservatism to Newt Gingrich. Also, Rush Limbaugh clearly stated that Newt was a Central Figure in the Reagan Revolution. Sarah Palin said the Newt was being crucified unfairly by the press and others. She means that the American people are being saturated with lies and half truths about Newt by the...

Are you tired of the slanderous attacks against Newt Gingrich from Glenn Beck, Matt Drudge, Fox, and the establishment GOP? We must give Newt a BIG grassroots FLORIDA victory! Newt encourages grassroots citizen participation. The other candidates just want your vote and then they don't want to hear from you again. Please go to newt.org and volunteer to make calls or volunteer on the ground to get out the vote in Florida. Let's "bury" Romney and the elite in Florida!!!

On his income taxes released today, we see that Romney gave $4 Million tithe donations to Mormon Church. Do Mormons help poor Americans with these donations? Do the Mormons have something similar to Catholic Charities, which helps thousands of Americans (both Catholic and non-Catholics) with basic life needs, medical help, childcare help, education help, etc. The main question is do Mormons use the $4 Million from Romney to ONLY advance the Mormon religion without helping the American poor. Does Romney even know or care what the Mormon Church does with his $4 Million donation? I think that is a fair...

Correct me if I am wrong, but unlike Newt Gingrich, Romney and Santorum rarely speak about specific legislation that they would introduce or push if they are elected president. Gingrich often speaks about elements in his Contract with America listed on newt.org. What I usually hear from Romney is boasting about being a business man and how that may translate into a good president. He rarely pushes specific economic or cultural policy items. What I usually hear from Santorum is his boasting about his family values and he being the go-to guy in congress. He rarely pushes any specific legislative...

On this Sunday's Morning's Fox and Friends, Ann Coulter continues her Kamakazi mission for Mitt Romney. She continues burning her bridges to the possibility of eventually supporting Newt Gingrich for President. When a smart person does not acknowledge Gingrich's shining victory in South Carolina and criticizes the people of South Carolina by saying they were becoming like Democrats again, Ann is acting like a doctrinaire Liberal who does not acknowledge the success of their political opponents. Ann is risking her credibility and seems prepared to go down with Mitt Romney.

Remember Ronald Reagan the Great Communicator. In my opinion, he was a great leader, because he was a great communicator. I the GOP primaries, Newt Gingrich is by far the best speaker, orator, and communicator. Since he espouses the conservative values, methods and action plans that we mostly agree with and since he does give the best, most interesting and easy to listen to speeches, he has the potential to be the best candidate against Obama and to be the best president to help we Americans to clean up the mess made by the Obama administration. Also, Gingrich is not-only...

Should American voters ask Romney and the other candidates what their philosophy of life is and what in their beliefs shapes their worldview? Also, should American voters ask the candidates about the degradation of the American culture especially among young people? I know we all have past sins, ie. Newt. However, Newt Gingrich has openly talked about his conversion to Catholicism and his reconciliation with God for his past sins. Rick Santorum openly talks about his devout Catholicism. Rick Perry is very open about his strong Christian beliefs. However, we do not hear much from Mitt Romney about his Mormon...

This is a serious comment. Every time Newt Gingrich speaks he mentions specifically what he would do on Day 1 of his presidency. On his web page (Newt.Org), he outlines his Contract with America where he pledges to accomplish specific items. He is specific. Romney, Perry, Santorum, and Paul only give cheerleading speeches where they brag about what they have done in the private sector, or in Texas, or in the Senate or about personal freedoms. All of Gingrich's opponents speak in general terms. In most cases, their speeches are not translatable into legislation and action. Gingrich speeches are usually...
