The ineligible Mitt 'Hussein' Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that only FR stands in my way.”
A most excellent piece of work there, Jim. Nicely put!
Just say NO to Willard.
What the Tea Party needs is to pack the Congress with like minded conservatives. They can’t bank on making change with the President. They aso need to widen membership and teach their members to thicken their skin against the racists, leftists, and feminists who will call them all kinds of vile names. The Tea Party needs to awaken the middle class to defend itself. Make the wind blow and even your hated Mitt Romney will bend your way.
Until we get a candidate who is believable, consrvative and likeable, the country will remain divided and volnerable. Herman Cain was that man, and they knew it, so they shot him down with viscious lies and death threats. Obama won re-election on December 3!
Amen. I will never, ever, EVER vote for socialist RINO Romney.
Jim clearly you and I were on the same wavelength. See my post that I wrote about 15 seconds before yours.
Agree Romney is not conservative. Newt Gingich did all those things in 1994 against a back drop of an openly corrupt democrat controlled congress. House banking and post office shenanigans along with Bill Clinton's first acts of Gays in the military and the Ram It Down Our Throats Hillary Care set the stage for the 94 Gingrich revolution.
In the retroscope, Gingrich only stopped the democrat wasteful spending and when Bush took command, the deficit spending resumed, but for allegedly republican backed initiatives. Government grew under Bush at no fault to Gingrich.
Newt was only a speed bump in the road to serfdom for the American People.
I am still uncomfortable with Newt because of his non-lobbying millions from the trough which is the MO for our government to pay its favored sons and daughters.
To me, Freddy and Fanny are just a clearing house to launder tax money and both sides of the isle have taken their turns. Both Franklin Raines and Newt Gingrich, have been in on this funny business. It would not surprise me to see Chelsea Clinton feeding at this FnF trough soon. This is the house banking scandal on steroids!
I agree Mitt Romney is lacking what it will take. He is the establishment's candidate. If he is elected he can claim to be the first female president in much the same way Clinton was declared the nations first black president.
I am not sure Newt is pure as a conservative. But this having been said, he is a whale of a lot better than the goof at the helm now!
I cannot stand him. The hair on the back of my neck stands up when he is on TV.
I’m not in the mood to surrender!
Jim,
This sounds like an endorsement for Newt. If so, would you be willing to pin it to the top of the FR website.
Your opinion and that of FR still really means something in the conservative community. I think it important to show that sites like National Review and folks like George Will don’t speak for conservatives.
If this is an endorsement, would you be willing to make your opinion a little more public?
Thanks
Tea party patriots will never embrace Romney or his Obama-light message and policies.
I consider myself a Team Party patriot and if Mitt Romney is the nominee, I will not vote for him. I will write in an acceptable candidates name instead.
I know this very well could mean throwing the election to 0bama. But I don’t see much of a difference bewteen the two. I think this country will conclude it’s collapse under either ones leadership. Romney will not repeal Obamacare, will not reign in spending, will continue the growth of government and will do nothing to preserve the sanctity of our liberty. Under an Obama second term or a Romney first term, I believe this nation will collapse. So if the country is going to collapse, let it be under a Democrat.
Say what you want about Newt. We know he is badly flawed in some areas. Newt is not my first pick, my second, or even my third. But Newt did play a significant part in reducing government, balancing a budget and forcing a liberal President to move to the right. This is what we need and at this stage.
We need to rally behind Newt and ensure is nominated over Romney (or Perry and Paul). He has the smarts to destroy Obama in a debate. He has the guts to take a hard hitting campaign to Obama and call him out for what he is, an Alinsky styled radical. Romney will only Alinsky’ed as McCain-Palin was in 2008. Newt knows what he is going up against and he CAN beat Obama.
BUMP
I’ll get the old rat tail out and sharpen the tines.
I’m with Jim.
NO Romney! No way!
We are not having a replay of 2008.
Romney is Obama with good hair and a nicer smile.
In the field we have left, Newt is the only one who can take on Obama and win against the onslaught the Dems, the Left and the media have in store for 2012 against all things American.
I’ll take him warts and all.
The sooner we conservatives unite, the better.
We have a country to save, not an Olympics to run.
And I speak as a registered Republican. and I don’t care if Ann Coulter,George Will, Nikki Haley, Christine O’Donnell and all of Fox News don’t agree with me.
I stand with Newt, and with Jim.
Given that the SEC just filed a fraud suit against Freddie Mac's Richard F. Syron on Friday, you've got to know that the MSM is going to turn over every rock laboriously to find a way to connect to Newt Gingrich's very real payments from Freddie Mac to Syron's malfeasance. Newt was taking heat for those payments when Syron wasn't identified as a crook. Imagine what's going to happen IF they prove that Syron & Newt were longtime friends and associates -- which is how Newt got the job at Freddie Mac in the first place -- and then the messy details of how Syron screwed American taxpayers starts invading every headline.
I could be wrong but I don't see this ending well for Newt at all.
Newt was right, it turns out, about Romney.
Why was Bain Capital Not Charged AmPad’s losses when Bain’s bankrupt AmPad company paid pennies on the dollar at its bankruptcy?
Was Bain’s using AmPad to rack up tremendous loans, Bain’s taking huge profits out of the loans, and Bain then leaving shareholders and workers no choice but bankruptcy with tremendous debt, an example of free market capitalism?
If I have my son take out huge loans, then take huge percentages of that loan money as an advisor fee, and our plan is for him to declare bankruptcy, but be protected because I, a non-pursuable person, have socked the money away, what is that called? Free market capitalism or conspiracy to commit fraud?

As long as the “tea party” remains you and I and everybody else who wants America to return to a limited, Constitutional government that stays out of our faces, out of our wallets, and out of our way, there will never be tea party support for Mittens.
Any self-proclaimed Tea Party “leader” who suggests there is tea party support for Mittens is a lying fraud.
I hate revisionist history. The federal debt has gone up every single year since 1957. Sure, Gingrich passed some balanced budget on paper and then voted for supplemental and emergency spending bills. And don't forget, they spent every dime of the large Social Security surpluses during those years, leaving behind massive IOUs. If it comes down to Gingrich or Romney I'll vote for NAFTA / WTO Newt, but I'll need a designated driver to get to the polls.
We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years. The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.
The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.
