Newt is a “conservative” when it suits him. Anyone that tries to make me believe that the individual mandate is a conservative value ain’t no conservative.

[ez]

Is it possible the GOP-E is trying to get Newt out asap so they insert another candidate in the race?

[Walrus]

The war was over in South Carolina last week, too, and the people spoke, loud and clear, above the inane yammering of the media cognoscenti.

C’mon, Florida. Power to the people!

[G-dzilla]

My sentiments exactly.

[Carry me back]

In Romney Obama and the establishments world they are to have the money and control all of us.. They are a bunch of corrupt people. Corporations get rich off the taxpayers then ship the jobs overseas. The world Obama and Romney lives in.

Just a thought....No one is mentioning the per centage of undecided vote...What per cent has not decided? Are those taking the poles ignoring this group?

Tampa Tribune, thanks Jet Jaguar.

Just got through making about 30 calls for Newt’s phone bank. Had to stop because it is now 8PM in most of Florida and to late, in my opinion, on a Sunday evening to keep calling.

About 30 calls
Spoke with 6 people,

2 said it was to late and didn’t want to talk. Very pleasant though.

2 said it was a wrong number and not interested.

2 were nice conversations by already supporters.

6 were voice messages where I left a scripted message Newt provided.

The rest were either phone busy or no longer in service #’s.

I recommend everyone consider signing up on Newt.org to make call outs tomorrow. It is a lot of fun standing for our country!!

Newt can win a general election, Santorum can't.

That is the simple fact.

Great job, bondserv! Newt(and we) need more patriots like you! And I agree, it’s rewarding to talk with these folks in the line of duty. No matter what happens in Florida it goes on. I think we can see how Romeny’s war chest must be dealt with going forward. More grassroots, volunteering on the phones, sending donations, exposing Mitt’s past transgressions against conservatism, online advocacy for Newt, and definitely some innovative measures are in order.

Good one Frank ...again!

You have the most extensive graphics library I've ever seen, and your ability to quickly transfer thought to picture is utterly amazing.

God bless you my FRiend.

[Roos_Girl]

That may be, but let’s not pretend that Newt is actually a conservative.

[caww]

Here’s two for Newt in Florida... both my brother and his wife !!!!!!!

Go Newt Go go go go go goog gogogogogogogogogo!!!!!!!

You were my inspiration Dysart. I followed your link and went for it. Simple as pie.

Unfortunately I work till 5PM PT, 8PM FL time tomorrow, so I might have to get up early, 6AM my time and make some calls before work. Leaving voicemails is good too, because volunteer calls are not Romneybot calls, and the folks know it!!!

-- No one is mentioning the per centage of undecided vote...What per cent has not decided? --

These polls are hilarious that way. Maybe 8-10% or so "undecided," as in not having a current preference. But something like 30% of those polled, who have a preference today, say they might change their mind before they cast their ballot.

Add those two groups together to get the percentage of voters up for grabs.

” - - - Gingrich would be able to attack the looming entitlement without apology,” the paper said.-—”

It cannot be said enough, that Newt would attack entitlements, whereas “Milk-Toast Mitt” would just find an easy, bipartisan cave-in to the Entitlement Plantation headquartered at 1600 Plantation Avenue.

GO NEWT!
GO FREE REPUBLIC!!!
Newt Gingrich @ The Villages in Florida Sunday January 29 2012
In 1980 we were involved in a campaign like this and it was clear that we needed a conservative that was a long way from Jimmy Carter in order to win because you had to show the difference.
And I would argue, we tried a moderate in 1996 and we couldn’t show the difference.
We tried a moderate in 2008 and we couldn’t show the difference.
If we are going to beat Obama, he’s going to have a Billion dollars and almost all of it will be used negatively because he doesn’t have any posistive record to run on.
So he’s gone from yes-we-can to why-we-couldn’t as his theme. So we need to have someone that can show a sharp distinction.
ObamaCare and RomneyCare are about this far apart (shows about one inch.) you can’t make the difference.
Where we are as Conservatives is about this far apart. Obama will not able to hide from the difference...

I’m watching the BEST special on FNC - Luntz/audience Q&A with Newt, Santorum, Connie Mack & Mary Bono (married) and Allen West.

Should be on again at 11 pm central - check it out!
