What happened to Newt is what has happened, and will happen, to any Republican except Romney: he underwent an anal exam with every little comment pulled out from the last 10 years. Conservatives, including some of York's friends, attacked him for being too liberal. You can say that about almost anyone except Bachmann and Palin, and they aren't in it anymore.

And as soon as Romney is alone at the top, then the long knives will come out for him.

Yep. Exactly. And I’ve been saying it for months... Conservatives have a problem with EVERY candidate in the field. The most consistantly conservative was Bachmann (and Palin but she never dove in).

We couldnt nominate Perry because he has poor debate skills and is soft on immigration. We can’t nominate Newt because he’s too liberal on global warming. We can’t nominate Ron Paul because he’s a kook with foreign policy. We can’t nominate Cain because he cheats on his wife and is inexperienced. We can’t nominate Santorum because he voted constantly for earmarks and bigger government. We can’t vote for Romney because he flip flops on abortion and supports Romneycare/Obamacare.

I understand conservatives are angry at this field. But the reality is that none of these guys are perfect. We are not going to have a perfect candidate. We are going to have to punt on an issue somewhere.

So true, and they are right here on FR trying to paint a negative light, cause discord and disruption.

We need to pray then Keep speaking the truth and fight the fight.

My brother’s right, for both the Republican and Democrat political elite this is just another Super Bowl. They just play the game and don’t give a thought to the danger this country is in. They’ll destroy anyone they don’t want and they’ll pull out all the stops for their guy.

Saw the hideous Debbie "Washerwoman" on Greta the other night and it was nothing but projectile regurgitating of the Dems line re: Romney. They're already after him ... and it's not going to be pretty. What was MOST disturbing was a lot of what she said was actually true (everything he has flip-flopped on, etc.)

Exactly. It is that simple and Newt at first did not have the resources to fight back. Those days are over and Newt is now fighting back. GO NEWT!

The knives will never come out for Romney because he has no chance of winning the presidency. And even if he did, he’s an Obama clone, so nothing would change and the GOP would be effectively neutered, so the left is probably actually rooting for Romney to win.
