How unpatriotic. /s
Bumping that to the top!
Hear ye, hear ye!
The bossman speaketh! Go Jim Rob!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Republican Party does not nominate a conservative candidate, then I believe the Tea Party will have to run for the election as a third party with its own candidate, also as a punishment against Republican Party for going Rhino, even that would mean split votes. In other words, Republican Party needs a change from pressure outside with warnings that Tea Party will stab in the back as a kamikaze in the election if the Republican Party nominates a unpatriotic leftist. Even that means defeat for the Republican Party, the stab from the back with split votes and less seats will force the party never again to nominate a Rhino candidate running for president. The Tea Party may not have a chance as third party, but it may still defeat the liberals within the Republican Party to clear the path for 2016. We must get rid of the liberal congressmen within the Republican Party first.
It would be marvelous if Newt went Reaganesque on us once he gets elected. My biggest worry is keeping him in line 24/7 he strays so easily always wanting to seem amicable to the left.Classic error.
OH YEAH! So agree with your assessment.
Thanks for the post. People need to be reminded of what Newt has accomplished. Evidentally over, and over again.
I love the 2A and despise anyone who does not respect the 2A......thus Romney is one of the worst candidates. That being said, if the choice Romney or Barry, I will crawl across broken glass to cast a vote for Romney.
I like Rush’s analysis about Newt being a good alternative to Romney:
“Who was the last person to actually cut government? Who was the last person who actually led a movement that balanced the federal budget? Who was the person that did that? You’re not gonna take a guess? That’s right, it was Mr. Newt! He was the last guy who gave us a balanced budget. Now, there are a lot of other Republicans involved — Kasich was key and a lot of others — but Gingrich was Speaker. The last time this budget was balanced, the last time there was true welfare reform, the last time government was cut, Gingrich did it. Who is number one enemy of everybody today?”
What did Newt do for conservatives? He gave us the Contact with America and actually got most of it passed.
What did Romney do for conservatives? Well, he knows how to look good and give a great speech. That’s why National Review is all for him.
While no self respecting tea partier would support Romney, one must appreciate the fact of picking the lesser of two evils.
I still have hope we can find someone else who can take down 0.
Great post, Jim. I just sent the link on twitter.
If the Tea Party decides that they’re the party of wishy-washy Massachusetts liberals like Scott Brown and Mitt Romney (or of radical libertarian cranks like Ron Paul) they will be finished as a movement. They need to get behind strong, fearless candidates who have a long history of standing up to the establishment and moving the country in a more conservative direction. The only candidate that meets that standard right now is Newt.
The TEA Party fought Obamacare tooth and nail. For Romney to claim the TEA Party mantle is ludicrous. He did the very same thing as Obama, he has Romneycare hung around his neck choking the life out of his campaign. We aren’t buying what the elites wish to sell us.
You are not kidding about rebellion brewing. Every year the GOP establishment puts up another Bob Dole and we all see them positioning to do it again. We're saying, this time, "Oh, no ya don't!"
I listened to Ann Coulter on O’Reilly the other night and I caught a glimpse of why she “supports” Romney over Gingrich, not that I’d ever vote for that flip-flopping b@st@rd, but I think I see what she’s getting at.
The 2008 voters were completely ignorant, devoid of logic, and thoroughly enchanted by Obama’s stage presence, style, and “perfect” family that they didn’t base their votes on quality or quantity of experience. Obama was a picture-perfect candidate (in their ignorant view). Ann seems to think that the stupid voters are disenchanted with Obama’s policies and need a reason to vote for someone else. She thinks the stupid voters will see Romney as similar enough to Obama circa 2008: smooth-talking, non-threatening, stylish, good-looking, prom-king-ish. All style, no substance. She thinks we can win by luring stupid voters away from Obama to Romney. She sees Newt as the typical old white guy who will turn off those disenchanted with Obama and considering an alternative.
She’s right about that, but she’s wrong about our priorities on this. Settling for someone who can attract Obama voters should NOT be our goal.
Isn’t it amazing that the MSM cannot even be heard saying the name Rick Santorum? If we think there is any media outlet telling the truth, we are sorely deceived. Each candidate should be discussed in equal amounts by news outlets.
But I’ve gone “Galt” on MSM. I will vote for a conservative, no matter what the Republican party tries to shove down. I have drawn my line, and this is where I will stand. My vote may be meaningless to everyone but me, but when I go to sleep on election night, my conscious will be clear.
God first, and my vote will reflect that. I WAS thinking, after the debate, that Newt wouldn’t be that bad if he had a conservative running mate, but after further reflection, I realize that this is the analogy...
America with Obama is America in the throes of death.
America with Romney is America in a vegetative state on life support.
America with Newt is America receiving cancer treatments and a 50/50% survival rate.
America with a true conservative is an an America that stands a fighting chance.
I’m watching the Ricks and Michele. I’m leaning heavily to Rick S.
AMEN and AMEN!
