****Let’s confront the truth, guys.
The FACT is that the primaries have been kidnapped by democrats, who are playing the GOP like a fiddle.***
And their cohorts in the MSM.
Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Why are you calling him a liar?
Same here. I can't count the times I've stood up and cheered Newt. His message and his vision are so far above the rest, it practically makes them non-existent.
Amen CW... and THAT is what I am all about today.

CW supported GOVERNOR Perry---not Romney; get your accusations straight instead of flailing around blindly. And I supported the governor as well. He's a fine Christian man with solid conservative principles.
We need to support Santorum only to get this thing to convention. There, we can nominate Newt.
LLS
IT IS NOW THE GOP/EE... THE “EE” STANDS FOR “ELITE ENEMIES”.
LLS
That's an understatement....even Santorum knows if it weren't for Newt taking the heat he'd be done in by all the forces which have gone after Newt.
Santorum's not going to withstand what's coming at him ahead should Newt even consider stepping out, (and that's not going to happen), he's already losing in Illinois with the Romney and Establishments campaign ads going full bore against him...and I don't see him winning there by any means.....there are too many wanting Romney at the lead and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to put down Santorum there, and they have the means to do so.
Further the state is Blue.....so I won't be surprised if Romney get's it there.....even without the ads...he's just not taking any chances Rick will pull ahead. Romney wants this decided now and so does the establishment.
On to CONVENTION!!! And Go Newt GO!!!!!!!!!
I believe many of the Romney / Santorum voters are un-enthusiastic because they were turned off Newt by the Negative ads, compleate with lies and distirtions, and by the media and pundits that continue to say only Romney can beat obama. Newt can beat obama. Without a candidate who can generate enthusiasm, obama will be re-elected.
My GUESS is that the true Paulbots got surprised and disappointed to find out that Paul and Romney are close (and their wives as well). They know what Romney's record is and it is NOT consistent with what RP seems to stand for.
I'd love to see Paul in charge of all financial matters and nothing else and I had been convinced that he was one of very few genuine politicians even though I disagree with half of his policy (or more).
I couldn't figure out why he never attacked Romney and when I heard the story that he had cut a deal with Romney for Rand to be VP, I found the accusation to be believable.
I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him. Maybe the Paulbots now feel that way too. I hope so and I hope they figure the one person who has a record of cutting DC power and the slime bags running it from the shadows way back is Newt.
In Tennessee, they tried a different underhanded tactic and succeeded… Hours before the election, Santorum met with several state delegates declared on the ballot for Gingrich, one even the Co-Chair of the Gingrich campaign, convincing them to switch to Santorum delegates even though the state ballots declared them all for Gingrich.
It amounted to election fraud, as millions of Tennessee Gingrich supporters cast vote after vote for Gingrich delegates that had quietly switched to Santorum hours before the election. The old backroom switcheroo had worked and Santorum won Tennessee, snatching the number two spot in the GOP race from Gingrich for the first time.

GOP-EE it is!
Newt Gingrich explains why he is cheerful:

Hear! Hear!
Newt all the way to Tampa!
It’s a crime that Romney ruined this primary with his attack ads in Iowa and Florida.
Newt Gingrich had this primary in the bag and America would have been the winner. Now we need a brokered convention for any hope.
GO NEWT!
“I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him.”
Romney is the least capable of uniting the voters for the national elections. He will fail, as the polls indicate 18% of republicans will stay home in case of Mitt’s nomination and the GOPers will lose heavily in the Congress as well.
Texas Governor Perry is not a liar. You can take issue with him, as you have, but he is out of the race, so slamming him really doesn’t serve any useful purpose. Our former governor Haley Barbour was heralded as a conservative, and look at the way he departed his office! For that matter, Governor Bryant was just given a TEA Party award, and he endorsed Romney for crying out loud!
Yep.
Newt Gingrich can run a national campaign and beat obama with his own Alinsky tactics.
Newt Gingrich is 100 times smarter than obama and I’m being conservative stating 100 times smarter.
Yikes! Yosemitest - I was complimenting you on the effort you made composing the poem in Post #47.
And thank you onyx.
