I expect the silly birth control attacks of the left to intensify. It is the only thing they have to go after him on.

Reverend Ricky needs to stop talking about religion and contraception and gambling, etc... He’s running for president, not Morals Imposer In Chief.

Just wait til Americans finally get it through their reality-TV-addled brains that contraception is not healthcare.

Romney would be doing much better if he adopted the traditional Mormon views on gays and abortion instead of running as a RINO.

Social liberalism leads to fiscal liberalism.

What happens to all those gambling addicts? They go broke and then go on welfare. What happens to all those people who screw around? They end up unmarried, their kids don’t have fathers and...then go on welfare.

We’re in this mess today because of pop culture and the free-sex anti-religious environment in college campuses and yet some people think they can turn it all around just by giving more tax cuts.

Yeah, but if you get to the heart of the problem (no pun intended) it’s really a heart problem-these people need born-again (as Jesus said) and the Churches in America have largely fallen away from sound doctrine!

I started out for Sarah Palin and then Herman Cain. Romney was never an option and Paul is a nut.
It was between Newt and Rick when Perry dropped out so I went with Rick because he was the least imperfect conservative. My vote was not enough however to keep Newt from winning our state but I thought at the time if not Santorum I would be happy with Gingrich winning it and for a while there I thought Rick didn't have much of a chance.

Man was I wrong, that damn Pennsylvania Yankee is gonna be our next president!
On his radio show today Hannity asked Rick about his short list for Vice President. He said Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity.
That had to make the liberals’ heads explode:)

Agreed. He is going to get the Evangelical vote anyway so he can stop pandering to them.

He’s not running as a RINO, he’s trying to run as a conservative. The problem is that he IS a RINO.

So ? the Newt supporters are making a big stink over Foster's " Aspirin " comment.. so ? are Newt supporters for Abstinence or not ?

Abstinence and personal responsibility IS a " Conservative virtue and value " ..

So ? what now ? Newt and his supporters going to appeal to the left and the Wall Street Occupiers with : Newt Gingirch 2012 .... just say NO ! to abstinence and personal responsibility, just do it and let the government pay for it ....

We need a tweet button so I can retweet that.
