Ossified Republican Establishment KNOWS Gingrich Stands Ready to Cream Clark Kent

And they're pulling out all the stops to prevent it...

Even in the wake of a really unprecedented series of attacks on Newt Gingrich from Team Mittens, the GOP Beltway suits, and allied media types, the Georgia doughboy stands up a couple points nationally... while the upcoming primary slate still seems to heavily favor a Gingrich nomination.

You scoff? OK, assume worse-case for Newt in Iowa (although one fresh poll still has him right at the top, with many undecideds expected to break back Gingrich's way).  Then -say- Newt scores a second or third in NH... he won't be doing any worse than that.  

Alas, the south is still most of what matters... and they don't dig Romney all that much: South Carolina comes first, where Newt is up solid double-digits. In Florida Newt's polling at almost 40%, while Romney's been stuck at 30% for what seems like forever. After that delegate jackpot puts him instantly out-front, Newt polls over 50% pretty much everywhere throughout the region... and the GOP establishment knows it.

Thus, the unrelenting, unprincipled, and downright vicious conspiracy to destroy Gingrich that we've been seeing over the last couple weeks- they need to not just chill him in Iowa, but STOP HIM COLD.

Surely Art Laffer and Michael Reagan coming out and endorsing Newt did little to endear them to the Beltway establishment, either. But they're not the only ones standing up and speaking out against how so many in the GOP are conducting a hideous smear campaign against one of our own: a man that has done one hell of a lot of good for the United States of America in general, and the Republican Party in particular.

Rush Limbaugh says he's 'never seen anything like it', as a clearly-frightened DC Republican old-guard has their minions in the media like George Will (his bow tie spinning, steam puffing out of his ears) calling Newt 'a Marxist'... when he's never before garnered the courage to call Obama one (!)

What's up with that?

[goat granny]

ossified perfect word for them

[sheikdetailfeather]

He was just on Fox calling out the Justice Dept. for trying to ensure they can steal the election in SC....GO NEWT!!!!

Matthew Dowd made an interesting comment today on This Week with Jake Tapper, when he said that all the attacks on Newt were made by Romney, plus all of Newt’s rivals vying for “second place.”

It seems that instead of going after Romney, Newt’s rivals were more concerned with Newt’s durability than Romney’s.

Very telling.

GO NEWT!

Newt or Mitt , both make me nervous. The scary thing about Newt is he's a progressive. He's a brilliant guy, but his ego matches. I see him governing like Nixon. Not necessarily the scandals although that's a possibility , but if you remember, Nixon ran as a conservative but ended up giving us the EPA, OSHA, Wage and Price controls, affirmative action etc, all because he and his administration were progressives who thought they knew better than the marketplace.

OTOH Mitt goes with the wind so if the nominee is Mitt we MUST have a conservative leaning congress because, unlike Reagan, Mitt has no core principles and won't stick his neck out.

That being said ,I'm voting for the candidate who ISN'T a Kenyan /muslim leaning marxist.

In the grand scheme of things Iowa is basically meaningless. In a few weeks nobody will even be remembering the Iowa caucus. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are the two top candidates and they will be duking it out for the nomination. Newt is going to take SC, Fl and GA and most if not all of the southern states. He has an excellent chance to win because there is no hard core support for Willard except in the backroom of the RNC.

Rush hasn't been paying attention if he's never seen anything like the attacks on Newt.

Insightful observation here

Have a super 2012, Onyx

[Diogenesis]

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 pts. days prior to September 18th, 2008.
So the RomneyTeam attacked Gov. Palin and her children to throw Election2008.

Romney for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

NO comparison. Rush is right.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“Rush hasn’t been paying attention if he’s never seen anything like the attacks on Newt. “

He wasn’t around during the Reagan years then.

[Texas Eagle]

Crap. Now how I have to look up "ossified".

Anybody care to spare me the trouble?

[show]

Vote for this guy...

[CainConservative]

You would think that folks like Palin, Barbour, and DeMint would endorse Newt. And help slow down the $10 million of mudslinging LIES BY liberals, rOMNEY AND pAUL. But I guess the’re TOO busy with the holidays and all.

Newt or Mitt , both make me nervous.

Mitt terrifies me. As bad as he'd be as an executive with extreme experience in working with both sides of the aisle in pushing through the liberal agenda, his team is even worse, and the GOP being directed by a Mittens team would systematically support all the little Mittens out there who are dying to work with Mitt and push back this conservative body in the GOP.

Newt's team has a lot of axes to grind, but most of those blades are aimed at the very people I despise within the GOP. Yes, we'll have to hold Newt to the fire over and over again, and we'll groan and moan about his intellectual decisions that go against the conservative thought. But he can be controlled and managed through congress and would give a better ear to the TEA party movement.

Newt's not my first, second or third choice, but Mittens is my last choice - I will vote for anyone who can beat him if he makes it to the general.

[Tennessean4Bush]

If he finishes 4th in Iowa and 3rd or 4th in NH, you will find his SC and FL leads evaporated. If Santorum wins Iowa, the conservatives all over will tend to gravitate to him. Of course, if Santorum finishes 2nd or 3rd in Iowa and Newt has enough money to make a stand in SC and FL against the onslaught, he might win. That is highly unlikely. Unlike McCain or Romney, he does not have a huge war chest and alot of personal wealth to last.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I am in Florida. Will be doing all I can to make sure he wins here. I am truly ticked at the dishonesy, viciousness and treachery I am seeing against Newt. I am in “Whack-a-Mole” mode:
