And as far as America’s domestic enemies (read:news media) no one skewers and cows them better than Gingrich. Like Palin, he refuses to let them frame the debate and when they attack, he punches them back so hard they see stars
Heck, Newt punches them so hard, even I wince!

Shoot...Newt punches them so hard, even Chuck Norris ducks!

Maybe Newt means the further development of it or something.

[moehoward]

Ain’t it grand?
I want to see him double mittens numbers

[Las Vegas Ron]

Really!!! Annoying the living hell out of you too, I see. :)

Yup...all day!

[Leep]

Santorum almost sounds like he is dropping out?

[dennisw]

My real preference is to fire everyone at EPA and forward their resumes to Burger King, KFC and MacDonalds. Then bulldoze their buildings and salt the earth so they have nowhere to return to

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Santorum is a really decent guy.I really like and respect the man.

THAT is precisely why I could not go into politics...Im far too honest to say “My GOOD friend the Senator from...............” if I were in Congress addressing someone from the other side of the aisle.....When in actuality I would be thinking “This POS, the lying corrupt bastard from............” LOL!!!!

I am NOT PC...I prefer to speak the TRUTH, to candy coated platitutes that mean nothing.
I believe the Tea Party is collectively telling the country and the media...SCREW PC, too :-)

[Shortstop7]

Sure sounds to me like he’s leading up to it. ?

[gramho12]

There was a time, about 20...no, make that 25 years ago - that I really liked National Review. Now? They can kiss my SW butt!

I so agree with you. I used to have therm bookmarked, but when they started trashing Sarah and pushing Romney I haven't read them since. Had a good go round with Jonah and Rick Lowrey, and to their credit they did respond to me emails, but really, what a couple of pansy-$$$$$ inside-the-beltway wimps.

[Bobalu]

Yes, much better than his actions after the last debate. The congratulation to Newt was a classy thing to do. :-)

[dennisw]

Santorum is giving a good speech. So have Romney and Ron Paul. Newt is next.

[garjog]

Gingrich can take it to opposition like Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan Quotes

“Be of one mind and one faith, that you may conquer your enemies and lead long and happy lives.”

"I will rule them by fixed laws [so] that rest and happiness shall prevail in the world."

“A man’s greatest work is to break his enemies, to drive them before him, to take from them all the things that have been theirs, to hear the weeping of those who cherished them.”

I had just graduated from college and almost voted for him (dumbass that I was), but when I stepped into the booth I voted for Reagan.

Good man. I like to think that me not knowing Anderson perhaps 75,000 times on television throughout this great land (and having people say "hey, aren't you the kid . . ." in Boston, NYC, Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Minneapolis, Richmond, Chicago - both O'Hare and Midway - and other places I can't recall right now) helped elect Ronald Reagan in some small way.

[bigbob]

Have to concur. Sure, he got his game on during the debates, but to start his speech by recognizing Newt’s victory was a classy move. One that Mitt couldn’t make, as I commented at the time. Santorum has a great looking family too, and there’s no doubt about where his personal values lie.

[advance_copy]

Yes, he does sound as though he is dropping out.

[Amanda King]

Thanks for your kind words bigbob! I hope our state will be the spark to light a fire of passion in the conservative movement to fight in every state and help Newt win the nominaton!!

[Las Vegas Ron]

Santorum is a really decent guy.I really like and respect the man.

Very gracious in his congrats to Newt.

Gingrich/Santorum?

Would be interesting...

[Pravious]

Santorum: “This campaign was not going to be about tearing everybody down..”

HUH?!

How hypocritical. He went after Newt in the last debate like a hungry shark.
