Newt’s already got the “endorsement” announcement up on his site! If Sarah keeps this up he can have 46 more endorsements by the time the race is over!
Hmmmmmm indeed. If she had said to vote for their guy they'd be dancing in the streets instead of checking their shorts.
Rush is willing to come out against a candidate as he has with Paul, I don’t know why he won’t come out for a candidate. I agree, Newt would get a great bump, Santorum and Perry would have to get realistic and Romney would be knocked on his ass.
That is what I heard. I was watching the cspan with Newt in Columbia and had my DVR paused . . . so will record Hannity @ 11 plus I’ll get to see Levin. Would have bought his book today at Costco but it was POURING down rain, very hard, so thought I’d wait a day or two so it didn’t get ruined.
Please!!!! She just said she isn’t endorsing Newt or anybody else but wants to process to continue and that’s why Newt is the one to pick....she doesn’t want Mitt to run away with this thing, especially if he wins S.C.
We have to stop Mitt but to do that one had to be the guy in S.C. and since Newt is the second guy, he’s the one JUST for now
Yes! And she looked even better after she said she'd VOTE FOR NEWT!
Holy cow they are fast!!!!
Factually vetted, yes. Accused of nefarious financial activities using incendiary, pejorative, and loaded terms? No.
Yep. It's called loyalty.
Fox retribution in 3,2,1...
Haven’t read any articles? They’ve certainly been posted.
I would only add that those accounting gimmicks that you mention are based on laws passed by a government that chooses to meddle in the free market.
LOL! One for each state!
Maybe Sarah’s family appreciates Newt’s defense of Sarah Palin in 2008.
This video is CLASSIC NEWT... He defends Palin and skewers Zero.
No one comes close to Newt’s Conservative debating skills. No One. Not even Rush.
Go Newt !!

I agree, only one person can stop Romney at this point.. and that’s Newt.
I hope she flies to South Carolina and stumps for Newt the rest of this week, because that’s what it’s gonna take.
SOMETHING happened in september/early october that caused her to pull back, and I’m certain it wasn’t the book. She rattled alot of good ol’ boy establishment GOP types with the “crony capitalism” theme and the deconstructing Washington vision. Scared them bad enough they must have sent a pretty strong message. About the same time Perry hit the scene with some inertia. She may have figured there were enough conservatives in she didn’t need to be there.
Now it’s getting down to the wire for a real conservative. Hope it plays out favorably...still alot of time for things to happen if we hold the line in SC and FL.
Per Jim Robinson:

ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!
Free Republic is ANTI-Romney. We no like.
There have been lots of articles posted. A good starting point is here:
http://www.buyoutofamerica.com/
Here are some quotes I scanned from a couple linked articles there...
Bain Capital had a business model that was intended to essentially transfer wealth from its holdings to itself, said current Ampad chief executive Don Meltzer, who was not involved with the business in 1995. ... [They did this] instead of building the wealth of the company that they owned and extracting gains through selling the company.
Contrary to the selling of Romney as a “turnaround artist,” many of Bain’s actions were not intended to right their properties over the long term. For instance, after acquiring medical equipment maker Dade Behring, Bain slashed its research and development budget...
The same month that Dade converted the pension, it used the projections of that very savings as part of the basis to borrow $421 million, which it then turned around and used to buy shares from its owners... Bain and Goldman had only put $85 million down to buy the company, yet in June 1999 they received $365 million from the dividend, 4.3 times their money.
Dade borrowed so much to make this payment that its debt more than doubled to $871 million (68 percent of sales.) Standard & Poors lowered Dades credit rating from the BB to B category...
The strategy of sharply increasing Dades debt alarmed several executives. Mr. Garrett, the former chief executive of Dade who stood to gain from the transaction, said he had argued unsuccessfully against it.
Creditors, unsettled by deteriorating finances and high debts, began to pounce. More layoffs followed. And in August of 2002, Dade filed for bankruptcy protection.
I would love a Newt/Santorum ticket if we can’t have Sarah. I’d like to see Rick get some VP experience. Thought Sarah would go this way.
