I’m in St Augustine and not one person I know want Romney, we all see him for what he is.

My wife and I tried to get tickets but was told off the Duval GOP that there would be 3000 seats but only 800 to the public.
The lady was nice but it showed that the establishment took those seats and filled them with Romneybot RINO’s

No surgery at all is better.

Nutrition/herbal therapy ALWAYS works when no invasive treatment has been done. Its the ones that have been given up for dead after failed treatment that have a lesser chance at healing, because they have been so severely weakened.

I am beginning to believe that the entire cast of candidates for the republican nomination are out to destroy the conservative movement as well as the republican party. It would be best if all of them simply withdrew and let uninstructed delegates come up with the nominee. This is a year which conservatives should easily win the election but the tawdry performance by all concerned is going to lead to the ruin of the republic by the reelection of Obama.

Don’t you get it Mitt is a democrat. That is why the establishment is pushing him. I would never vote for Romney.

Thank you Kristinn. I will check your article out, and I see sheik has now found the Major Garrett column he just posted also. Thank you for your excellent web wrestling!! You’re among the best at threading the needle on our debates.

I know.
It’s ridiculous.
All will be forgotten by 2014.

Santorum - "The rights within our Constitution, they are not unlimited rights. There is and can be limitations on them...There are limitations to all freedoms. There are not absolute rights."

Well he is right. The rights we have are not unlimited: 1) We have a right to free speech but not to libel; 2) We can bear arms but not a nuclear weapon; 3) we can be secure in our home but can be served a warrant; 4) Goverment cannot take private property for public use UNLESS just compensation is given. Etc...

Either something is an inalienable right or it isn't.

If there is no inalienable right to own a nuclear weapon but there is an inalienable right to own a gun, then the inalienable right to own a gun is absolute.

If there is no inalienable right for a felon to own a gun but there is an inalienable right for others to own a gun, then the inalienable right by non felons to own a gun is absolute.

Santorum claims that there are no absolute rights.

An inalienable right by definition is an absolute right.

Santorum doesn't understand inalienable rights, or at least he didn't back in September.

they are and newt knows this and knows his history unlike all the others but trying to tell the facts today with the bias media and trying to get the truth out is hard because of the establishment, the liberals and the MSM which are the same.

I agree with you, bray. I stopped watching but I taped it. Don’t think I’ll bother though.

Very depressing.

I wanted very much to be reassured about my support for Newt but ....

No, not Paul.

Sorry, should have included crazy uncle Paul.

He is such a non-entity in my mind that I just naturally dismiss him as harmless in the long run.

He will never be nominated, never.

“I’ve been repeatedly told that “Santorum ended his chances,” since November. “

Ignore all of them except for the first one. When Santorum filed, he ended his chances.

He’s never had a chance. He lived in Iowa for three years and still will never realize those Iowa Caucus promises.

Exactly that is why Fox is pushing Romney they want Obama to win just like last time. The don’t want Obama care or the destruction of the American economy to be reversed.

I hope Mitt is not the nominee. But if he is, Newt cannot blame it on RS

I will vote the republican nominee regardless.

I won't. I am fed up with the Fords, Doles, Mccains, Bushes, and Romneys. I will vote for America and the Constitution -- I hope that will be Republican, but with the leftist elitist establishment running the GOP, I just don't know.
