Sarah Palin: Newt Gingrich's secret weapon

Well with reports of Romney now having regained the lead over Gingrich in FL, I hope she becomes not so secret a weapon and goes all out between now and Tuesday.

I’m not sure she appeals to a different group of voters than Gingrich does. Maybe she peels off some of the Santorum vote?

The thought brings a smile, but FL is winner-take-all and it’s in four days...

I’d like to see her just go all out and support Newt. The time is now. She needs to hit the campiagn trail for Newt and give the establishment a kick in the face.

Sarah is right as usual.

What I saw lastnight was a dusgrace, and for the establishment elite to totally ignore the fact that Blitzer set Romney up to continuously attack Newt shows me they are no better than slimeball libs.

Lastnight was a complete farce. Romney was way to prepared. How strange that he never knows what his advisors are doing (Bain bonds), and he doesn’t know about the attack ads (seems strange because his answers defending the ads show he’s a liar). Romney repeats verbatim the attack ads and continues to tell the lie no matter what proof Gingrich releases.

I believe the debate lastnight DID NOT do Romney the good the media is trying to make us believe. I know what I heard and saw and I certainly do not need the talking heads to tell me not to believe my eyes and ears.

Romney is RINO scum. Sarah was once where Newt is. GO SARAH!!

It would be great if Sarah goes down to Florida to campaign for Newt. Sarah Palin knows how to campaign.

That said, I don't think she will go down there without an invitation from Newt. Not sure if Newt will request this of her.

Oh yeah, she draws from the only vote for conservative conservatives not just the lesser of two evil conservatives.

Nope. That would be a mistake. What the Palins are doing is exactly right.

Palin and the rest of us have to succumb to reality and make decisions based on what is on the table as far as the candidates we are left with.

Santorum was my preference up until the South Carolina primary, and now I realize that, he’s just not that appealing to the majority of republicans, and so, we have a choice between Gingrich and Romney.

So, Sarah and the conservatives have only one choice, and sitting on the fence hoping for the best is not a plan.

Romney is the governor who gave the country a model for nationalized healthcare, that model being “Romneycare” in Massachussets. We don’t want to take a chance that he could end up as president, and all that would happen then is to leave Obamacare in place, or with minor tweaks. We need to have someone in there with the promise to repeal that Obamacare monstrosity, and even if Romney has stated he’ll do so, his liberal qualities cannot be trusted, and I’m skeptical that he would repeal Obamacare.

So, we’re left with Gingrich, and, though not the best possible candidate we could have hoped for, he’s the only one left that can bring us some hope for some conservatism in the White House.

So, Sarah needs to get off the fence and fully endorse Gingrich before Romney gets any momentum and becomes “our” candidate in the fall.

Listen carefully everyone......Mitt Romney has been setting up a Victory in Florida since 2007 and has just recently spent up to 10 million in local ads. If he wins Florida it will be a very small victory and will be ahead of Gingrich by only 30 delegates. BIG WHOOP! The media will play it up as a massive win and Romney is now the undeniable candidate. It’s all BULL-SHIITE!! Gingrich can easily make it up in another state. Don’t fall for the media baloney!

It is time for wide circulation of this 2008 video of Michelle Bachman literally paying homage to Gingrich and his role in the conservative movement, here

Send to your friends.
