Im noticing something. Every single repub is being attacked and eliminated one by one, starting with Sarah the most conservative, and working their way forward. Only Mittens seems immune from GOP and media attacks.

Santorum, Cain and Bachmann, while not perfect (who is?), are the true conservatives in the presidential race.

Newt’s explanation for his now inconvenient history is that he only adopted his pro-mandate position in the early 90’s for the purpose of derailing Hillarycare

Right Newt. Telling us that your positions and beliefs change with the situation certainly makes us all feel better.

lol

You can catch the authors screeds in his Mother Jones Blog and Op-Ed ht pieces on anything trying to block Obama-care.

Now let me ask the first thought that I had when I saw this mongrels name on this hit piece.

If Newt is such a shoe in to do a back door deal to make it all happen, why is he blowing the whistle on him? Would Bawney Fwank blow the whistle (pardon the pun) on Chuckie Schumer?

NO?

Then why would you pay any attention to this piece of shit and ignore the explanation of the man who reformed welfare and balanced budgets?

Are we REALLY the Party of Stupid?

Go ahead and waste your votes on someone who can’t win and prove it. Write in whoever the hell makes you happy and get an ironclad guarantee of Marxism. Then we’ll have no chance to continue to stack the House and change Congress.

You support socialized medicine and ObamaCare, you are now on the record. I DO NOT.

“You support socialized medicine and ObamaCare, you are now on the record. I DO NOT.”

We take a seat this election and we got a guarantee of it. I’d rather take a shot at stopping it.

If I understood your comments correctly, essentially none of our candidates will meet all of our expectations but if vote for the most conservative tied with with the best possibility of winning, we can work out the bugs with Congress after the election.

For instance, Gingrich loves that ethanol crap. I'm convinced we can turn him around on this hokey, phoney, global warming, crap and trade bullsh1t and he is a "drill here drill now" proponent.

First we need to WIN... Then scrape off the warts.

When they work as hard on Mitt - get back to us. Until then, whatever media says falls on deaf ears.

When Santorum was questioning Mitt on Romneycare - MB cut off Santorum and said we don’t have to worry about obamacare as it will be repealed. She is Mitt’s buffer. I have no idea what Cain’s position on obamacare is as he never brought up Romneycare with Mitt. Do you know where he stands on this?

The “hits” just keep on coming to all of our nominees.

Insinuation seems to rule the day.

Newt did work with Hillary in a Democratic congress before he became Speaker. Yes, I know, Newt supported the mandate for individuals with a certain high income in recent times.

I have seen the Pelosi pic...a lot of people believed in global warming at one time. It has only been recently been debunked.

And..he is also a horrible capitalist. /s

I don’t think that Newt is perfect by any means. But, as you have very accurately pointed out...he has also done some great things that deserve attention.

I don’t know if Newt can win against Barry (I’m not sure we have anyone that can) but he could give him a fine run for the money.

Cain's stand on Obamacare:

"Obamacare...", groans, looks up at the sky, blinks fifty times, moves his water bottle, adjusts his suit jacket and tie, "That's the new health care law, right? Just making sure." Fiddles with his water bottle some more. "I got all this stuff twirling in my head!"

"Oh wait, I got it... I would have done it differently, by hiring the right people and then making a decision. 9-9-9."

Ok, you support a mandate. Might as well vote for Obama then.

As far as Romney, he is getting trashed on twitter 24/7 and thousands of blogs.

The problem is that knuckhead evangos whine about him being a MoMo. That has no relevance to an independent or a middle of the road voter. Instead, Romney should be attacked on RomneyCare 24/7 non stop. The average voter understands these ‘Cares’ and a majority of them oppose them.

And now we have NewtCare. So folks like you have a problem with attacking Romney on his Romneycare because it also takes out your favorite ‘influence peddler’ Newt Gingrich with his NewtCare.

Obamacare will define this presidential race. That will include RomneyCare and now NewtCare.

You can not defend one without defending them all.
