I am just sick I tell ya

One thing I can say for you is that you have a flair for dramatics. I wonder if your profession is acting. If not, you should go to Hollywood. You would be good at it.

No, it is an irish thing. Not dramatic just adamant that Newt is the last great hope for America in my lifetime. I believe in him.

Have read RS and Romney's records and could not take one for the team and vote for either one of them. I will do a write in ..and vote on issues that effect my state.

Maybe she's acting, but if so, it's a very good act.

I've been watching katiedidit1 and a group of other Gingrich supporters for some time because I've been trying to understand what motivates the more militant of Rick Santorum’s opponents. I think katiedidit1 is sincere and on the level, and is not acting.

One reason why I've been paying attention to Katiedidit is that she and I both live in the Missouri Ozarks and that means there aren't the regional complications of people who may hate Santorum for things I wouldn't understand without understanding their local political dynamics.

Bottom line is I think she's telling us her honest opinions and is really upset about Rick Santorum winning over conservatives. I'm still not sure I fully understand why, but she's one of the people to whom I'm paying attention in an effort to try to understand what makes the anti-Santorum people tick.

As a conservative and as a Republican, I need to understand my fellow conservative Republicans even when we disagree — perhaps **ESPECIALLY** when we disagree.

There is a new dynamic in this year's presidential race. I've written about it here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2859059/posts?page=25#25

I'm very unhappy with that dynamic. I believe it is destructive to the moral foundation of the Republican Party and if successful will steer the Republican Party into a European-style secular conservatism where the definition of conservative switches from classic Judeo-Christian values focusing on personal morality, strong families, private property, and national defense into a libertarianism that values private property and nationalism but has forgotten the biblical basis of private property, capitalism and national defense.

I'm certainly not saying katiedidit shares that dynamic. I do think that dynamic is out there, it is dangerous, and to the extent that the Gingrich campaign has attracted secularists who are passionately opposed to a role for religion in public life, we need to remind such people that Gingrich himself doesn't agree with that viewpoint.
