I can NOT stand whiney little Rick.<<<<

Rick Bachmann, you mean? I even changed my tag line. He grates the nerves. And he’s done, too!

Santorum is really disappointing me tonight. He's coming across as a whiny crybaby and his attacks on Romney and Newt were easily repudiated by both of them.

Breaking News: Gingrich just put his tax returns online...

I think you mean Newt got his ass kicked.

Santorum: Newt supported an individual mandate based on a 150,000 dollar bond for 10 years.

Newt: Harumph, Lincoln-Douglas debates.

Lol

Gingrich argued for 10 years for healthcare mandates. Nice try.

SANTORUM is getting into that Bachmann II mode again. Too loud, too long, too desperate for an applause line and praying for a standing O. What a cranky nag he becomes sometimes.

Sad but true. He comes across as petulant.

I hate CNN and the MSM. Such a double standard on Rs vs Ds. The Newt story is slimy and timing is horrible. Brian Ross is a hatch guy. They did it to Palin and so many other republicans. But leave all the dems stories alone. The media is a threat to our national security.

Unfortunately, this one is going to stick on Newt long term. Some people can accept a one time affair. But to talk about Open Marriages, 6 year affairs in your wifes bed. And doing this twice with different women. Regardless of how much we had the media, the meme on Friday around the water cooler is going to be Newt’s lewd and borish behavior.

All of the folks on here who think this won’t impact Newt negatively are dreaming. It won’t backfire on the media, because it never does. It is so depressing what they can get away with. Those of us on here are much better informed than 95% of the rest of America. 40-50% get their little bit of daily news from the MSM.

And besides, we must stand for moral value and capitalism. I am very disappointed to see so many here dismissing what Newt has done. The very same folks who raged against Clinton/Lewinsky. Lets stick to our principals.

I am afraid all of our candidates are becoming unelectable. A circular firing squad of sorts. What should have been an easy win for the republican nominee in 2012 is fast becoming less probable. It’s sad. Whoever gets the nomination, we must support. We can’t afford 4 more years of Obama. Any of Newt/Santorum/Romney, are better than Obama.

Yes, but IMO, he just knocked Romney out of this race.

I'll say it again, IMHO, Santorum just took Romney out of this election.

Hey Mitt, your plan f**king sucks! Hey Mitt, the STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS decides what private health insurance meets THE STATES STANDARDS, not the EMPLOYERS. IT IS STATE INSURANCE YOU LYING PRICK!!!

If you consider Newt a RINO you’d have to more consider Santorum a RINO. His record is much more big-gubmint than Newt’s. And Newt has a litany of conservative accomplishments where all Rick has are positions.

It’s because Santorum doesn’t handle losing well. During one of the earlier debates, when Herman Cain was in his prime, Santorum started trying to bring audience members into the discussion by asking if they wanted 9-9-9.

You are wrong. Santorum was shamed when Newt said, Yo, I helped you when you were a Junior Senator.

Then RIckey got all snotty on Newt when in reality Newt has helped and supported Rick’s career along the way.

Rick is disgusting for not respecting Newt for Newt’s willingness to support Rick’s early career. Why Rick S even be on the stage if all he is going to do is bash the most Conservative Candidate?

Newt's never hid from his past support for the concept. As he's said throughout the primary season, just like the Heritage Foundation which originated the idea in the late 80s/early 90s, he realized it was unworkable and a bad idea.

“I love Newt... but, he would NOT be good President. He’s a BiG Government Progressive.. and, PROUD of it.”

Yeah, you’re probly right. Sarah Palin and Jim Rob are supporting him. He must not be much of a conservative. We all know what dumbbells they are.
