Don't use that broad of a brush on this. I've fallen into that false sense before. It is the VOCAL few. You're battling some of the "stars" on this thread. Your perseverance and resilience is admirable. A little crazy, but still admirable.
Forget your (subtle) sarcasm tag?
It's definitely about his debate performances. The defense that I would give to support my thesis is that Newt has had great debates from the get-go. However, he has ONLY moved up in the polls after the faltering of Bachmann, Perry and now Herman Cain. Last man standing.
Has she ever criticized him about anything, like oh, say... Romneycare?
Maybe she has; I'm just axing.
>> CEW’s post #97 answers all of your “questions”. There is no PR cult of personality around Newt, manufactured or otherwise. He is simply a potential “last man standing” who can beat both Romney and then zer0, which is the objective. >>
Correct - and obvious to anyone with reading comprehension.
Correct - and perhaps an “anti cult” in fact.
Correct - and brilliant use of potential, making it more correct.
Correct - because if we don’t do that, nothing else matters.
On all four points. Thanks.

Critique accepted, and you’re right. As for “a little crazy” - yes, you are right, a little crazy in that I am kind of like the detective Adrian Monk (TV show). He was OCD about things being in complete order. That was his gift and curse. That’s why he could solve crimes.
I am that way about linear arguments and logic. A curse? Yep, I can’t turn it off. But it’s also my strength. I engage in some of these food fights simply as a way to hone some skills and keep in touch with attitudes out there - and there is a method to my madness.
But yes, it is part madness.
He’s not a Newt plant, but he is about as smart as a potted plant.

>> TO MNJohnnie: Again, your questions were answered, and since you didn’t like the answers you act like a child. Nobody here is saying Newt is a saint, but if you need to build some strawmen to make that argument, you better get busy rounding up some more hay. >>
He really does argue like a child doesn’t he? And he creates more straw men than Obama. It’s like beating your head against a wall. Until I read his page, I really did think he was in middle school or high school and just starting to get interested in politics. I really did assume that, just based on his public postings.
Obviously you thought the same thing.
Glad to see the exact same
Different time. GOP RINOs rule that roost. I would change Reagan’s 11th Commandment to read “Thou shalt not speak ill of other conservatives”.

Now just stop it with that logic. Give the common sense a rest. There’s no place for that kind of reasoned perspective around here!!!

Actually, many people take Reagan out of context here. He always spoke ill of liberal Republicans in primaries and off years. His commandment was once the GOP had nominated their man or woman - that then thou shalt not speak ill. He went after Gerald Ford and the Rockefellers and others darned hard in other times.
So in that way, Reagan agrees with your sentiment.
“SHE is the actual “Grizzly Momma”..”
SHE is a backstabbing, CHEAP imitation of the actual Grizzly Momma...and has been since the ACTUAL Grizzly Momma got her re-elected, whereupon she declared HERSELF Queen of th TEA Party.
Michele Bachmann is an ambitious pol with a stilletto out for anyone who gets in her path. No more, no less.
She lied from the moment she entered this race and lies every time she is interviewed. Pay attention.
Go Bachmann!
Thanks. I appreciate the insight.
Yeah, that doesn’t fly with me. Being fine with a baby being murdered because they were conceived under horrible conditions makes no sense.
Thanks for letting me know though.
