Once Rick Santorum drops out of the race (which should probably happen Monday) it might be time for you to stop trashing Newt here on FR.
Santorum won't drop out.
He'll stay in it; recognizing that Newt is always one hare-brained idea away from deconstructing.
Until Newt proves that he is sufficiently disciplined to stay on a conservative course, without occasional excursions into liberal big government-land, we are best served by Santorum remaining in the race.
Do we have to start pretending that Newt isn't a big government conservative?
I suspect the late reports(Just in time for the SC primary...heh heh!) that Santorum has actually won Iowa was the work of the power brokers who are dismayed that Romney is losing steam. Newt scares them but the only guy left after Romney to counter Newt is “Squeaky Clean” moderate Santorum. Cain would have been a good counter but they mistakenly “shot their load” in getting him out of the race too early!
Newt will get the nomination and perhaps the presidency...but will it already be too late to do any good before our land plunges into fiscal chaos and perhaps civil war?
