Dear Fellow Conservative: I’m deeply concerned about our nation’s future. I believe that we must nominate and elect a President candidate this year who will stop America’s slide and fight for the values that made our nation great. I believe that candidate is Newt Gingrich, and I am proudly supporting him for President. I deeply hope you will, too. Just like my wife Sarah, Newt tells the American people the truth and what he believes, not what he thinks they want to hear. He doesn’t flip-flop on core issues to advance his political chances. Like Sarah, Newt can take hits...

Bachmann sources tell me that Charlie Black, the longtime GOP power broker and Romney backer, is reaching out to the Minnesotan, urging her to back the former Massachusetts governor. But Bachmann has rebuffed the overtures, sources say. “We’re not endorsing anyone,” one source says. “They’re trying to get us to sign on, but there has been no commitment on our end. She will not endorse before South Carolina, she probably won’t endorse before Florida, and she may not endorse even when the likely nominee emerges.” Bachmann has mixed feelings, sources say, about the remaining contenders. She respects aspects of Ron...

After showing him closed with a couple points yesterday, the surge in Rasmussen's vaunted polling (accuracy born of asking only likely voters, not just 'registered' or 'adults') continues today with Newt now out front of a nervous Mittens by 2 pts now.... Add Perry's pending endorsement, and it's 'Marianne who?' Bring it on, MSM scumbags! btw, I just watched that interview with her anyway... Marianne (herself a homewrecker) DIRECTLY contradicts what she said in a 1999 WaPo interview!!! (-here-)

I've been hearing the same ad for Newt over and over... Michelle Bachmann praising Newt in some sort of speach, talking about him in glowing terms "changing history" yada, yada, yada. The ad is paid for by Newt's SuperPAC So here's my question: Did Bachmann come out and endorse newt or did they dredge up some old speaches and take the statements out of context to craft it to look like Bachmann endorsed Newt?

In one of the first endorsements for former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum following this weekend’s meeting of evangelical and social conservative leaders that had them supporting his campaign, the head of a pro-life women’s group has backed the GOP presidential hopeful. Penny Nance, President and CEO of Concerned Women for America, issued an endorsement for Santorum in her personal capacity, not speaking on behalf of the organization that represents hundreds of thousands of pro-life women.

I have been hounded in media interviews to give them the scoop on which Republican presidential candidate I ‘m going to endorse. When I respond that it will be “unconventional,” they go nuts because they cannot conceive of what that means. That’s not the way they think. So they try to guess what it means based on conventional political practice. You will be endorsing yourself getting back into the presidential race, they guess. Nope. You will be endorsing someone that’s not in the race, they suggest. Nope. You will be endorsing two of the remaining candidates instead of one. No...

(VANITY)Word has it that Mr. Herman Cain, a strong conservative presidential candidate incessantly attacked by the national media, the DNC and the RINO Establishment slime machine, is in a position now to endorse in pivotal South Carolina prior to its presidential primary.The problem is, some indications are coming out that such an endorsement, while "unconventional" may be going to Mitt Romney, the worst possible choice for the Republicans in 2012 and certainly no conservative, easily beatable by Barack Obama in November. Sucn an endorsement would be highly inadvisable. Many of us, former 2012 Cain supporters, volunteers and donors say this...

President Barack Obama’s December wish list didn’t include what he hoped to get from Santa Claus. Instead, he listed big names whose endorsement he hopes to secure before Election Day in November. The star-studded list, dated December 5 and published on Wednesday by The Tennessean, contains past and current “surrogates” who Obama hopes will support him this year. In all, the list of Hollywood heavyweights, professional athletes and Washington power players is seven pages and 194 names long. It includes entertainers like Jay-Z, the Counting Crows, Tina Fey, Tom Hanks, Lea Michelle, Robert Cray, the Jonas Brothers and Oprah Winfrey...

John Bolton announced a few minutes ago that he has endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 election campaign. He believes Romney is the strongest conservative, who is electable. Bolton has informed himself of romney's writings and beliefs, and considers him the best conservative in the race. Greta's show repeats on Fox a 1 a.m.

According to the Associated Press, Tim Tebow will not be endorsing a candidate for President in 2012. Sensing the excitement and loving his message, Tebow is also being courted by Republican presidential candidates. The quarterback recently told The Associated Press he's been asked by more than one of the contenders for his support. He wouldn't name names, but did say he'd declined the offer. "I think you have to have so much trust in who you support, just from product endorsements to endorsing a candidate because if that person or company does something (bad), it reflects on you," said Tebow....

Gov. Nikki Haley announced her endorsement of Mitt Romney in mid-December. The Republican presidential candidate, regarded to be somewhat moderate, earned her Tea Party support because “he knows how the private economy works, how to fix it, and most importantly how to solve problems,” Haley said in her announcement. The fact that Romney knows how to donate to campaigns might have more to do with it, though. His “Free and Strong America” political action committee donated $36,000 to Haley’s campaign in 2010. And she’s not alone, either. Romney has, to date, received 35 endorsements from politicians his PAC donated to...

Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney, a Mormon facing doubts about his conservative credentials, said Saturday he had the endorsement of five former US ambassadors to the Vatican. Romney's campaign unveiled a letter from the ex-envoys hours before a debate in which he was to face off against his rivals, including Catholics Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, who have cast him as a weak-kneed moderate. The former ambassadors said they were "united" behind Romney "because of his commitment to and support of the values that we feel are critical in a national leader" and "experience, vision and commitment to the...

Santorum Captures Endorsement From Catholic Pro-Life Group Washington, DC -- A national pro-life organization for Catholics issued an endorsement today for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who shocked the nation on Tuesday night with his surprise close second place finish in the Iowa caucuses. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/01/05/santorum-captures-endorsement-from-catholic-pro-life-group/

Sarah Palin admonished Republicans not to ridicule Congressman Ron Paul. Sarah Palin is wrong. Ron Paul is a disloyal phony who has earned whatever contempt real Republicans have for him and his dangerously naive ideas about foreign policy. Ron Paul has shunned the party in the past, as he was the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988 and in 2008 he rejected the McCain/Palin ticket, instead embracing Cynthia McKinney and other third-party candidates for president 2008. Like a kid who is losing a game, Ron Paul took his ball and went home in 2008. But Missus Palin, sadly, seemed to be...

“This year’s Presidential race outcome will set the course of America for the next several years!” said Michelle Duggar in a statement. “Santorum is a pro-life, Christian conservative with the family values and common sense business perspective that we need to get our nation back on track, to create jobs and to stand for what is right! Rick has a proven track record as a leader in the US Senate he fought to end partial birth abortion, he has stood for defining marriage as between a man and a woman.” Duggar said that the family also appreciated Santorum’s support for...

Ron Paul's greatest liability is Ron Paul, but his second greatest liability are his hippie-Nazi cultists. Not all of his supporters are hippie Nazis, but the aggressive ones are. Since "Audit the Fed" wants to boost Ron Paul, I'm promoting his comments to the front page. Quick, everyone! Get on this train before it fills up. I call this prose poem "Jewess." It's about Elena Kagan. Oh for Christ's sake. She's a jewess. AND a bulldyke. She has no integrity whatsoever. Chief Justice John Roberts: Epic. Fail. I call this sonnet "Hebe Community." I am merely observing the untidy little...

Gingrich Gets Another Endorsement Former Oklahoma Congressman J.C. Watts on his 2012 choice

Ooops, sorry- that was 2008... silly me: "Beloved friend Newt Gingrich": "...made an indelible mark that literally changed the course of the United States" "...leading conservative member of the United States congress from the state of Georgia" "Founded the Conservative Opportunity Society, which I frequent every week. This is the incubator, if you will, of new great conservative ideas, and Newt kicked that off for us." "... he's going to continue to school all of us here in the morning." "...he was the architect of the revolution that wrested control of the House of Representatives from 40 years of...

In this most vital of US presidential elections, many conservative Republicans are quick to tell you that the two current GOP front-runners are less-than-ideal choices... And I agree: it is indeed unfortunate that a more conservative candidate will not be the GOP's nominee in 2012... primary performances emanating from the party's TEA Party right have left much to be desired. But if Obama manages to get re-elected next year, it will most likely be because of people who refused to accept our party's nominee- and thus vote independent or simply stay home on election day Yes, Liberty's (second greatest)...

Sarah Palin told Fox Business Network today that she will not be endorsing a candidate in the next few weeks. “Not before Iowa,” Palin said, in an interview set to air at 10 p.m. EST on FBN. “And Iowa’s not the end of the road. It’s the beginning of the road really. Newt Gingrich, I believe, has risen in the polls because he has been a bit more successful than Romney in reaching out to that base of constitutional conservatives who are part of the tea party movement. [....] She said she was “most interested” in seeing in who Ron...
