I’m a Tea Party conservative.

I speak my convictions.

And Gingrich does not speak for me.

And since when does a voice of conservatism need to be silenced?

After watching the GOP establishment ORDER its voting base to obediently fall on the RINO sword, election after election, I became one of millions that finally stirred to action under the Gadsden flag. I am part of the conservative revolution that is not going to settle for a RINO candidate. With the same passion I had in November of 2010, I’m going to fight for America to be the conservative Republic that I learned to love and respect growing up. My marching orders come from the U.S. Constitution, my friend, not from inside-the-beltway Washington elites.

Yes, my words might offend and annoy some, but for every person that abandons conservative principles, there will scores of others who are inspired to act with courage.

History is on my side. Gingrich’s political past demonstrates that he is not a conservative. He is not Tea Party. He is part of the crumbling foundation of the GOP establishment that is falling into itself.

You know, you can put lipstick on that RINO, but he’s still a RINO.

I respect you more than I can express; you are one of the indispensable men needed every generation. All I'm saying is that the fight doesn't end here; we can't expect to win the entire war in one battle. There will be other election cycles in which we will further the goal post.

At this time, we need a solid victory and can't sit it out because we didn't get our ideal candidate.

Whatever.

You won’t get who you want as president.
So you ought to focus on congress.
Who is more likely to work with a tea party congress: Newt, Mitt or Hussein?

You know the answer.

...with no proof that he's ever been a RINO except for you, the Tea Party spokesman apparently, saying so.....

This gets tiring. Newt Gingrich has ONLY ever ACTED as a Conservative when in office. ONLY. So either find some RINO examples when he was in office or STFU.

It doesn't matter much what he's said in his private enterprises because he was paid to talk, provide IDEAS, and do so in the capacity as a talking head. Of COURSE he will have espoused, and will continue to espouse many many ideas. Because he's an idea man. BUT WHAT HE HAS SUPPORTED THROUGH HIS VOTES HAS BEEN AS AN AUTHENTIC CONSERVATIVE.

I suggest you take that flag, put it down, and start providing some backing for your stance. Otherwise, you are just another blowhard hiding behind a Tea Party moniker.

OK, I missed getting my marching orders from the dreaded "establishment". WHO sent them out and to whom did they send them?

I'm in Iowa, and I haven't seen these "establishment" people around. If this whole election is rigged by "the establishment", why are all these candidates phoning my house leaving messages, sending mailers into my house, inviting me to events and flooding the airwaves with ads?

I don't get this bogeyman "establishment" talk and I would like those who continue to talk about "the establishment" to tell me exactly who you're talking about.

Rush is even doing it and at a meeting with a group of Republicans, I asked the question of the group and some in the group said Limbaugh is the "establishment". I'm confused.

I can't get excited about Newt, either, but I know some very conservative people who are now supporters of Newt--some very strong Tea Partiers so this support for Newt cannot be blamed on "the establishment".

I want someone with a proven record of accomplishment and in this field, that's Rick Perry.
