I just don’t understand the man crush on Newt all of a sudden by those on FR and from those in the TEA party. You could not get a kind word from a Freeper about Newt when Cain and Perry were on top and Newt was in the single digits. It’s one thing to have to support the guy because no one else has caught fire. But it’s quite another to get amnesia about all the reasons you did not like Newt a few months ago. And now with Santorum the latest non-Romney candidate to catch fire, you are starting to see how truly loyal the new Newt followers really were. They are storming over to the Santorum camp.
People are looking for a conservative who can beat Obama. They know none of the guys are perfect and many here have had problems with Gingrich and felt Santorum could not win so when he won Iowa, many felt maybe there was a chance. As for those who post all of Newts sins and the problems they have with him over and over, they think nobody has seen any of this before because some people are for Newt. The reality is..people are willing to overlook what they see if they have a candidate to beat Obama. Many felt Newt would take Obama on and although he has warts, he is not the anti-christ as some would have you believe.
