Greetings Steelfish:
Insulting the Newt Gingrich wing of the conservative GOP movement adds no value to Rick Santorum’s status nor increases his delegate count.
While a Rick Santorum voter and campaign supporter, I remain quite fond of Newt Gingrich. While neither GOP candidate is perfect, both men boast impressive lifetime conservative voting records; they earned and deserve our respect.
Please, keep it real.

I supported Gingrich all the way until the FL primary. His primary ideas are great. But as Rush says elections is about winning. After Santorum’s one day trifecta, then it because clear to me that Santorum was the guy. This has proved all too true. Yet he keeps getting attacked mercilessly on FR. We are not alone here on FR, several commentators have demanded Gingrich to quit. This is what you do when you lose elections be it Bachmann, Cain, or Perry. Gingrich himself demanded Santorum to quit after just one win in South Carolina. Instead, he stubbornly persists and as internal polling data confirm he siphons off votes that could go to Santorum and sink Romney. Certainly this could have occurred in MI and OH. That much is undeniable. But yet we continue to field indefensible attack on a winning candidate. That we cannot abide.
