Notwithstanding, waiting for the Newt-haters to arrive in 3, 2, 1...
The Fix is in—it will be Romney and that is that. Four more years of Obama. Not so fast—you did it with McCain, you did it with Dole—the GOP will not get away with it this time. Pushing another loser down our throats will not work again.
I would call them the RINO establishment Republicans. I see Jennifer Rubin of the WaPo had her 4th hit piece on Newt published today. I saw a couple of flat out lies in the first piece and have discounted her ever since.
Fixed it.
The So-Called Conservative Media Attacks So-Called Conservative Newt Gingrich
I’m Here!
Here’s an idea. If all of the delusional Newt supporters would stop compromising conservative issues to support a RINO and get behind a real conservative like Michele Bachmann, then we could actually have a real conservative to go up against Obama in the General Election.
Hey! It took 5 posts? You guys are slipping!
The Tea Party is quietly waiting. They want 10 million Tea Party conservatives at the convention, then go ahead, nominate Romney. Shades of 68', only this time from the conservatives.
That’s because the GOP establishment is trying to mask themselves as the so-called “conservatives” and are backing RINO Romney. The last thing they want to see is Newt and the Tea Party to win this one.
Yep.
As someone who agrees more with Bachmann than Newt, I would still support Newt because
A: he understands the battle is about Obama, and not about the other Republicans and
B; MB is too dull to figure that out and
C: Newt will actually accomplish more for conservatism than MB will IMO, even though she is more conservative philosohpically.
Being a mom of 58 kids and thumping your Bible harder does not make an effective leader (and I love kids and the Bible...just sayin’ what I’m looking for out of government)
Some of his later admittedly dumb statements and doings aside, Gingrich’s actual congressional record and actual conservative accomplishments are conservative enough for me at this time. Especially when compared to Obama’s Marxist record and Romney’s liberal progressive record and purely evil accomplishments.
Obama’s a Marxist. Romney’s a liberal progressive abortionist. Gingrich is a budget balancing, pro-life Reaganite!!
GO RUSHBO!! GO NEWT!! FUBO!! FUMR!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Because Bauchman is not electable??? Like her but no way in hell she gets the nomination.
Rush prefers Romney over Obama.
Does that get him banned on FR?
Personally, I wouldn't put him in the McCain category. I trust him over Romney only because I think does understand the danger we're in and Romney does not.
Romney actually said to Sean Hannity that he does not express "inflammatory" positions because he doesn't want to offend general election voters. Holy crap. At least Newt gets excited once in awhile.
My CA primary vote doesn't mean a damn thing so I don't have to decide, but I really want Michele Bachmann to win Iowa.
Rush Once again proves that he is not a true conservative. He has not been one since the Early 90’s when he sold his soul to the establishment.
I’m angry beyond words. Our side is really on the commie’s side in this. Also the purists on our side (some Freepers) are not voting if Gingrich is the nominee or Romney, and thus, are allowing Obama.
Obama gives “speeches” like today’s in Kansas (or Texas) and blames everything on us and our side does nothing but says we must not attack Obama. We are true idiots...I despise Will, Krauthammer, Rove, and many, many more. I actually think these commies want Obama to win as they financially benefit somehow.
How is she not electable? How?
Please tell me the state(s) that John McCain carried that Michele Bachmann would not. Which one? Which demographics would flee her that supported George W Bush in 2000/04, which ones?
The truth of the matter is that Bachmann, just like ANY GOP nominee, is going to carry ALL the states McCain won. Additionally, she would carry the traditional conservative states that McCain lost (NC, VA, IN) because she is an ACTUAL CONSERVATIVE.
In FL, are we to believe it is better to run a moderate, like say, Charlie Crist over a conservative? Because in 2010 in a 3 way race, the Conservative nearly got a majority over a RINO and a Lib.
That leaves OH and 1 more state for the win.
So which state is it that she loses, and despite Obama’s weakness, Obama somehow carries?
Your “unelectable” argument is illigocal. You “think” she can’t win because she’s not electable, but the numbers and facts are there to support the contrary.
Except for Romney and Paul, it doesn’t matter who we run. That person (Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, Perry, Gingrich) would win the Election with pretty much the same map. If that’s the case, it makes the most sense to support the most conservative candidate in the race: Bachmann.
Spot on!
All right now. Who has hacked JR's account?? Somebody is going to be in big trouble.
Really (pleasantly) surprised to see this, Boss. I applied the Bill Buckley rule and the result of that is Gingrich.
Really? Anybody who pulls out in front gets questioned, criticized, and sometimes attacked. By conservatives as well as by members of the "Republican establishment" -- who not so long ago were called conservatives themselves -- and by liberals.
I don't think you saw a frantic "Republican establishment" going after Perry, or Cain or Bachmann. They raised questions, as conservatives did, but the real attacks came from the liberal media.
Newt's a different kettle of fish. He has a record in Washington and a lot of people aren't satisfied with it. That goes for conservatives as well as "establishment Republicans" and liberals.
