So much for another elite GOP meme being peddled these last 24 hours or so...

This about the only thing that makes me feel good, such is my disdain for the GOP elite. As much as I love to listen to Gingrich speak, he is the one candidate still in the race who is more liberal than Romney. A year ago, he was persona non grata here for his liberal ways, but now people are cheering for him.

Conservatives are suffering from BNS: Battered Newt Syndrome. He writes a book and lets a wacko environmentalist professor write a chapter, and we are outraged. He attacks the media, and we love him again. He sits on the couch with Pelosi, and we say we're through with him for good. He apologizes, and we take him back. He supports Romneycare, and we curse him, but after a good debate, we love him. He tours with Al Sharpton promoting socialist education policies, and our jaws drop. A few conservative words, and he's back in our good graces.

We seriously need to form a support group to help all you people remember why we left him a hundred times! Sometimes I could use this group myself as I've found myself forgiving him. I realize why conservatives oppose Romney, but but for sins far less than Gingrich's. Romney just can't figure out how to say anything inspiring, so conservatives love to hate him. I don't want Romney either, but with Gingrich as the alternative, it's Romney.

Still I wouldn't vote for either of them in a primary.

So, a man's positions while out of office, mean more than his actual ACCOMPLISHMENTS while in office?

Even after he's confessed that he erred in taking those positions, and has since adopted strongly opposing views?

Your position is about the same as mine. I figure that none of the candidates are worth a pinch of pig poop, so I’ll have to content myself with watching the GOP “elite” squirm, rant, yell and soil themselves.
