Not surprisingly, just a cursory examination of Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports shows Romney banked over $798,000 from employees of TARP recipients.

So? I work for a bank, therefore I am an "employee of a TARP recipient." Does that mean I, as a rather lowly employee of a financial institution who is simply working whatever job he can get to feed his family, have no right to participate in the political process?

I'm not a Mitt guy, but c'mon.

Ok, I understand. His big donors rec’d TARP.

Rush pointed out that the ony candidate who opposed the TARP bailout was Newt.

You know, you (mening I) tend to worry about how Newt will do in these debates... but then I think about the conservative priniciples, which Newt understands, and I think he tends to take that bent when he answers the questions.

In other words, the question goes in, and come out with a conservative answer.

Only, Newt does something special, he brings in history or an anecdote.

And he doesn’t repeat it, e.g. Romney not being a career politician because Kennedy beat him...You can only use that once.

I also got the idea that Rush was excited about Newt’s answers. Newt clearly, in just a minute articulate what we all here believe in.

Yes, Santorum and Perry do too....even Romney in his own way does it....

BUT NEWT HAS A SPECIAL WAY OF SAYING THINGS, KIND OF LIKE REAGAN DID WHEN HE CAMPAIGNED AGAINST FORD. REAGAN WAS FULL OF ACTION...STRONG...VIBRANT...HE WAS THE SAME WAY WHEN HE BEAT CARTER, BUT FLARED OUT HIS LAST FOUR YEARS.
