I say you be nice to the relative conservative to the conservative...but to people like Ron Paul or Romney, you give no quarters.

Gingrich surrendered?

I think you throw down the gauntlet. It's the law you lay down.

Exactly, Newt was partially right. People didn't want the candidates to be attacking the other candidates...um the other “conservative” candidates!

We have been DYING for someone to effectively attack Romney!

Only Perry ever tried to attack Romney, but his apparent brain damage which keeps him from stringing two sentences together without losing his train of thought was an impediment.

Gingrich however could make mincemeat of Romney without ever breaking a sweat.

This is just pathetic. Dick Morris had it right tonight...Newt wants Mittens to be positive because he has no money to go negative. And the campaign reports bear that out - Newt simply did not have enough time to raise cash as a frontrunner before Iowa. Cain did, but dropped out. Perry has, but nobody seems to care. Mittens can write a check all day long, and the GOP elites fund his “PAC”. It doesn’t look good for Newt,

“Gingrich however could make mincemeat of Romney without ever breaking a sweat. “

You better hope so. If Zane goes all in and falls flat he is finished. He is taking the bait. The only thing driving his campaign ( aside from feelings of nostalgia from the geezer contingent ) are his so called debate skills.

That's why it Newt in the primary as Mittens can write a check all day long, and the GOP elites fund his “PAC”. Mittens has nothing to run on - so he using money to buy his way in with the help of the media and GOP elite. Only WeThePeople can STOP him.

To be frank, what is actually “pathetic” is that money buys you the role of being one of the world’s most powerful leaders in this country.... =.=

You need knowledge to debate like Newt. He's got that hands down. You'll never see mitt burning the midnight oil studying about America. So much for your so called.

exactly. When Newt wins South Carolina in a landslide, Iowa and New Hampshire will be a distant memory, and with all the also-ran probably out by then.. things should be looking pretty good for Newt.

Right and barry feels he’ll need $1B of other people’s money to retain his power to bring down America more and his current lifestyle.

That’s why it’s Newt in the primary.

Now its going to get good—Two weeks of Mud slinging by some old hands at the art. Fun two weeks. Get your popcorn ready! My money is on Newt as a dirty political player he has been around the block—as a Mormon, Mitt has a few good retorts ready (ever hear of a Mormon fist sandwich>)?

You have it wrong - Mitt is the KNOWN backstabber - having his pawns doing his dirty work.

Mitt has BIG GOV’T libs, the liberal media and the GOP elite. Name one thing mitt has done FOR America. This is not rocket science that mitt is the worst of the worst and he will be forced down on us - we have one chance with Newt in the primary. The GOP elite and liberal media are itching to take him down. He goes down, so does America.
