Thank you, Jim.
Yes, Newt Gingrich had a great debate and I don't dispute that but a good debate from another candidate won't make me turn my back on my candidate.
Maybe a few girlfriends falling out of the ceiling might such as with some of the other faux conservative candidates but that is not going to happen with Rick Perry.
If we use your theory that we should all support Newt in order to stop Mitt than you must think we should all support Mitt, should he be the candidate, in order to stop Obama. What s the difference?
I am in Florida and prefer Newt due to the fact we are going to be up against some vicious tactics and Newt is a fighter. I also like that he defines Obama for the radical that he is and pulls no punches. America needs to hear the truth and have it spelled out clearly. I love Santorum’s enthusiasm and spunk as well as his conservatism. Perry is obviously great too but having a hard time catching up quickly enough. Whoever we end up choosing I will support. Watching Romney gaining is making me nervous.
I am not giving up.
We absolutely need to coalesce around a conservative candidate. It is time to put all of the differences aside as to realize we will never have a pure candidate and go with one candidate. At this crossroads, Newt has fired me up more than anyone has. When he is spot on, he sounds like a leader. I can't see that excitement in the others. I have given funds to all candidates from day one but last night, I put all of my support fully to Newt. Newt has been in the establishment, I know. He has the experience to get in there and makes changes on day one because he respects our constitution. The issues with his past wives is not of my concern. To those bringing up Clinton, Newt looks tame, besides is it for me to judge him. Clinton did things in the oval office as the lap dog media knew which is a big difference. Yes, the libs hate him for the welfare reform; Pelosi would hate him being back in charge. That reform lifts people out of the poverty cycle. Newt needs a badge for that alone. If we don't support Newt in a strong voice, we will get Romney then Obama. We are running against an open primary when dems are voting to cause problems so we need this unity. We don't need to lay down and allow liberal Romney as the nominee. We have the best message which Newt showed beautifully last night. If we cannot win with that message, it's like we are giving up or allowing to not even try. Both Ricks say Mitt is too liberal on many important issues and he is no conservative. It looks like they both are only thinking of themselves now, not a bigger picture or they never really wanted a chance to try for a change. IMO.
Right. As of now, the fate of our country hangs by a very thin thread. If we let the conservative vote be split, it will be a disaster.
Exactly! If Santorum or Perry could drop out and work with Newt then we would would have the best candidate with Newt. With the support and endorsements of either Santorum or Perry then Newt would clobber mittens and go on to clobber the Marxist!
If Santorum does poorly in SC then he should drop out and support Gingrich. There is still time(and hopefully money) for Newt. Reagan lost seven of the first nine primaries in 1976 against Ford. He almost won the nomination that year.
Its true Jim; Perry and Santorum have failed to improve their position in any meaningful way; it is time for them to take the pill and endorse their successor. They’ll only look like stalking horses for Mitt if they stay in any longer.
I agree Jim but I’ve seen this movie before and doubt the egos will allow it to happen.
I think everybody should vote for Herman Cain. That way nobody is supporting a candidate they don’t want, but we can beat Romney in South Carolina. And we have Steve Colbert helping us.
I agree with you, Jim. I don’t want Santorum out this early. There is a chance Gingrich can shoot himself in the foot. And like palin says, steel sharpens steel. I liked Perry last night too, but maybe he should be the first to take one for the team.
After SC, Perry, Santorum and Newt need to call a press conference and announce, “We are living in historic, perilous times in American history where our Constitution is under attack by the potus. We are at this time taking a historic stand together by two of us immediately dropping out of the race and endorsing (whichever of those 3 wins SC) in order to advance the Republican candidate who will protect the Constitution and individual rights as the next potus.”
It would be monumental and ensure a win against Romneycare AND zero!
wonder if Santorum could bring PA...his track record there is spotty
Count me in. I wanted Newt to run back in ‘96. Alas, it was not to be.
 GINGRICH IS A CLOSET PROGRESSIVE - SANTORUM! ROMNEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED - GINGRICH! SANTORUM IS AN ESTABLISHMENT BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN - PAUL! PAUL IS ISOLATIONIST KOOK - ROMNEY! |
If you want off my ping list get over it!
