Rush has been making it clear for months. The first candidate to talk conservatism wins (part of that is going after the media) - in other words, the first one to sound like Rush wins. Newt has done that, and, I guess, the others were ‘playing it safe’. LOL.

Newt has nothing to lose by doing so, and everything to gain.
What are they gonna do, attack him?
It is more then conservatism. It is about jobs. There are two job killers in America besides regs, fees and taxes. It is the religion of free trade and environmentalism. People who practice these two ideologies do not stop to see what are the results before they plow on. Corporate America (1 percent) spin that they create jobs. Well what type of jobs? Replacing good paying manufacturing jobs with cheap overseas Chinese workers (after US corporations trained them) and now replacing IT American workers with Chinese and Indian workers (after corporate America trains them) reducing them down to service jobs that pay less and then subject them all to creative destruction as M&A, offshoring, downsizing and etc forces workers to change jobs every five years. All this machination increased the income of the few on top while the middle class barely kept up with inflation or worse must hold three jobs to make ends meet. Now the depression (caused by Fed gov liberal mortgage policies and Wall Street bank schemes) just implode the economy and killed 11 million jobs before Obama even had a chance to add his kills in with Obamacare, EPA regs and etc.
America is pissed at environmentalists, pissed at corporate America, pissed at Wall Street, pissed at illegal immigration, pissed at the media, and waiting for the first politician to have a pair of balls to say so.
Newt does pause and see if free trade and Wall Street capitalism is working or not. He doesn’t like everything he sees and like any common sense American raises questions about it. He is definitely against the job killing environmentalists. Now he is questioning the Fed Reserve (who serves bankers on Wall Street and not the American people). Newt gets it that is why he will win. Americans want a mean leader because they are in a mean mood. Obama and Dems haven’t figure it out yet. The one percent hasn’t figure it out yet (but I think some do and have made arrangement to leave just in case the SHTF).
The only caveat is Newt is a politician. They all say one thing when running and do one thing when in office. (This applies even to Ron Paul). Been around too long to know better. Of all our choices Newt is the closest that fit my bill.
For someone like Romney to say that Obama isn't a bad guy, he's just "in over his head" is simply dishonest and everyone on our side knows it. Obama has succeeded beyond his wildest dreams in dismantling the country, and our guys need to address it.
Newt, whatever his flaws, has. And in the process, he pulled the curtain down on the so-called objective press.
