I am leaning Santorum because he doesn’t carry the baggage Gingrich does. I am speaking of his time as a “consultant” for Freddy mac and his prior endorsements of RINO candidates, especially in NY.

Gingrich can’t carry the base and is too polarizing. This isn’t 1968 and you just can’t be like that these days.

Think when our enemies are so well defined; determined; and emboldened; and our nation at precipice. . .what is called polarizing is not a bad thing.

Mitt and the RNC think calling Obama a "nice guy;but. . ." and "well intentioned; but. . ." is the best/safest MO to win by a strategy of 'NOT offending' our opposition. Incredible, really. NOT the way to win an ideological war. Much less, the wars per our foreign and domestic battlegrounds.

The time for mind-numbing political correctness - and the death of brain cells it creates; and by turn, the death of a nation - is over. Or, should well be. . .

Newt tells like is; he is not afraid to offend; the truth not always pleasant; and it is often confrontational. Our Country is on the brink; and 'Mr. Nice Guy' is not going to save it. The truth should not be be diluted into the palatable. . .or into 'pap'.

Most interesting; is that the those who do speak with a bit of bombast i.e. 'put lid on political correctness'; who dare to speak a truth; are met with kudos (witness Donald Trump and Chris Christie; who created a positive storm by doing just that). Americans; by and large; are willing and wanting; to hear the power of authentic truth spoken.
