I can take that from Rush because he is not running for office. Anyone can choose to listen to Rush or they don’t have to.
Newt is running for President. If he does not cut out the arrogance he is going to crash.
There's a very important part of Cain's media lynching that most are ignoring. And it's the simple fact that this wasn't as much about Cain as it was destroying the Tea Party movement.
The three people who were most closely tied to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and Herman Cain, are gone or have been so severely maligned, any chance at a national comeback is slim. Ironically, the only one of those three who has been completely 'vetted' by the MSM is Palin, who by her own choice has decided not to run. We can only hope she reconsiders, but don't count on it.
With the Tea Party influence pretty much gone, there will be a mad scramble between Newt and Romney to claim the movement when, in fact, both are so far removed from the original cause, its almost unthinkable that any support would happen. Romney represents the Obamacare, and Newt the beltway, insider politic- two of the main things the Tea Party has been fighting against. Both have a history of supporting liberal legislation and causes. And most importantly, both have a history of stabbing conservatives in the back.
So what happens to the Tea Party if it rallies behind Newt or Romney? Quite simply, it kills itself. Because the very things it rallied against will be the very thing it has come to support.
And the media will have a field day with it, knowing once and for all, THEY have destroyed the Tea Party, relegating any true conservative momentum under the entrenched elitists beltway bus.
"Vietnam was the right battlefield at the right time." Why didn't he go? "Given everything I believe in, a large part of me thinks I should have gone over," he allowed. But, recovering, he added, "Part of the question I had to ask myself was what difference I would have made."
There in one quote is why Newt is not deserving of any conservative support. It not about making a difference it's about doing your duty, it's about standing by your principles and it's risking your life because somethings are more important then your sorry ass Newt.
I would have made no difference is an excuse, not a reason, there were no vacancies in Vietnam Newt. Someone else went because your were to cowardly to go.
Michele Bachmann is the real deal...
Newt is an Kabuki Theater Actor.. all masks and makeup, strange noises ...
But most republicans don’t even know who the Secretary of State is....

“Part of the question I had to ask myself was what difference I would have made.”
Could have just as easily come straight out of i-bama’s mouth.
Media has this down pat.

I guess we are just all too stupid to realize that:
1. Making illegals legal is NOT amnesty.
2. He apologized for appearing with pelosi, but not the REASON for the appearance.
3. That consulting for, and speaking on behalf of, corrupt cronies for big bucks is not lobbying.
4. That he used his mistress’s religion to try to invalidate his second marriage before he converted.
5. That his definition of when life begins allows for the destruction of live embryos.
6. That he didn’t really mean that Paul Ryan’s plan was right wing social engineering, rather it was an ATTEMPT at ‘right wing social engineering’ which he was proud to disavow.
7. That he pouted for literally weeks after the scuzzyfavors debacle because like obama, he refuses to take reponsibility for his grossest mistakes...ever.
And so much more it would take volumes...and frankly, my stomach isn’t strong enough for it.
He may get to be the nominee , but he wouldn’t beat Obama , especially if someone makes a 3rd party run ( e.g. Ron Paul ) .
I'm sure you know what I mean.
Obama’s next four years will really be interesting, especially when he appoints another Marxist monkey to sit on the disgraced Supreme Court.
I especially feel sorry for the older folks, like myself, who have to die while this creep is still in office.
Too bad we couldn’t have had one more Ronald Reagan-type before we had to be interred.
Both of you are confused. Conservatism is about ideas (conservative principles).
As soon as the conservative starts getting himself caught up in chasing after people or personalities—whether it’s following candidates blindly or turning his ridicule against conservative voters—he’s conforming to the leftist book of rules.
Not saying he’s a leftist. Only that he’s following the behavior pattern of leftists, without realizing it.
Hobson's.
