Amen.
I think it's become clear with this week's document drop on Drudge that he's made a decision to do the same sort of thing the Manchester Union Leader does today, and that in the old days was done by Hearst, Pulitzer, and others, namely, aggressively selecting news to back or attack a specific candidate.
I believe in capitalism and don't have a problem with him doing that — his property, his rules — but I've never been terribly happy with Drudge anyway due to his problems with social conservatives in general and evangelical Christians in particular. I've usually used Free Republic the way others used Drudge.
How a homosexual Huckabee-basher could turn into a backer of a Mormon is beyond me, but politics makes strange bedfellows.
If you go back and read what you just posted..you will understand Romney's real agenda and why the gay republicans are pushing for him. As far as him being a Mormon..well, if he can lie about other things..why not that as well? MINO?
George Washington lost many a battle, until he WON the war.
Attitude and determination to weather the storm of opposition, while continuing to fight by any means for what you believe in is paramount....just ask any soldier.
We must stop signaling defeat with words like “we're done, it's over, we are dooooomed! Remember, if soldiers in WWII had signaled defeat in the heat of battles fought, we would have LOST the war! We must dig deep within ourselves for courage, swallow our fears, join forces with like-minded people, keep moving forward and fight like hell. May God bless us all in our fight to save the United States of America.
You sound like the clintonbots - no way could all this be true.
Mitt's been setting up his campaign for years! He has no good record to stand on. So getting the media on his side was his first order of business. He already had that part in full swing in '08. And his liberal agenda gives him the MSM's cover.
Someone in the Romney camp sure seems to know the secret to pushing Drudge’s “buttons...”

Drudge: ‘I Do Not Love Sex With Men’
4/6/2009
Drudge has never been said to particularly relish his homosexuality or embrace it; in fact his gay romantic/sexual side has been described (when alleged) as conflicted and awkward.
David Brock, the former right-wing writer, wrote in his memoir Blinded by the Right about a “scary” date in which Drudge, after bringing Brock flowers and navigating the Santa Monica gay strip “like a pro,” stepped on a competing suitor’s foot “really hard” (in Drudge’s purported words) in a nightclub to scare him away from Brock.
Alec Baldwin stated that Drudge made an advance on him in an ABC Studios hallway, a proposition that had “kind of a creepy quality to it.”
Drudge denied he was gay to the Miami New Times in 2001, even as he launched into a disquisition on (as the New Times put it) “the reigning DJ king of gay circuit parties” and summarized his nightlife thusly: “I go to straight bars, I go to gay bars.”

Ann Coulter Named Honorary Chair Of GOProud
“Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.”
The board includes some other names you may recognize as well: Margaret Hoover, Grover Norquist, Andrew Breitbart, Liz Mair, Chuck Muth, Lisa De Pasquale, Christian Josi, Roger Stone, Andrew Langer, Kathryn Serkes and Bob Carlstrom. Last year, Coulter was a big draw at GOProud’s first-ever Homocon event in New York City.
It’s not treason to support someone else over Newt, just to support RINO Romney over Newt. Sure Romney’s getting a lot of support from mindless, ignorant idiots who can be easily led around by the media. We can’t necessarily hold moral outrage against them. But when people informed enough to know better support him, they reveal themselves to be traitors to the conservative cause. Whether or not they’re unprincipled, have been paid off, or are just too cowardly or insecure about conservatism to back a conservative candidate, they are either useless idiots or the enemy within to us.
Not likely, check Wikipedia.

“In the months before his death, Hume, an alcoholic, had begun drinking again. The night before his suicide, Hume was jailed for drunk driving and tried to hang himself in the U.S. Park Police jail cell. He was evaluated at a psychiatric facility and released. He went home and took his life with a hunting rifle. He left a long note expressing shame at the previous night’s events.”
Thanks for posting. I hadn’t seen that.
Agreed.
The fact that Drudge chose not to post an equal number of anti-Romney pieces, is a glaring indicator that he's intentionally conducting a negative information campaign against Gingrich.
I'm sorry, but I simply can't see it any other way. I'm very surprised that Levin doesn't see this.
Dixie, didn't Drudge get rid of FreeRepublic's link a long time ago? If I recall it was around the same time Luciane Goldberg quit posting here and got her own site.
I used to go to Drudge first then click the link to FreeRepublic, but then Drudge took it away and I quit going there altogether. Did Drudge put the link back up at some time?

But there is a lot of behind-the-scenes, very quiet and secretive mojo that goes on,”
Does mojo equal money or power?.....or sex?
>>>Did you know that Drudge got rid of FR’s link?
Who Gives a Spit? Matt has removed that link on perceived slights countless times over the years only to put it back again. It’s meaningless.
I've spent enough time dealing with homosexuals to know that with some exceptions, promiscuity is normal, sometimes even after “marriages” or “commitment ceremonies” or “civil unions.”
The potential for blackmail is tremendous. Also, the visceral hatred for conservative Christians in much of the homosexual community isn't just “potential” but all too real. They don't want to be “judged” by people who believe their lifestyle is immoral.
As for the Romneys being “Mormons in Name Only,” I'm from Michigan and had very limited firsthand as well as more extensive secondhand contact with members of the extended Romney family (not Mitt Romney). It is exceedingly unlikely that any of the Romneys today would recognize my name — Mitt Romney's father would have known some people in my family, but I'm all but certain nobody in the current Romney family would. My list of friends and acquaintances, however, once included people who were in the Romney's circles, though I've had no personal contact, even secondhand, for about two decades.
People change over time and I understand that, but based on what I know from reliable secondhand reports, the consensus in the 1970s and 1980s was that the Romneys were straight arrows who, unlike many in the Republican Party before the rise of the Christian conservative movement, generally believed in private what they said in public about personal morality. I had no reason to pay attention to the Romney family in the 1990s since I was focusing on church issues, not secular politics, but I don't know anyone in Michigan Republican politics who was circulating private doubts about their sincere commitment to and practice of their Mormon beliefs.
The big problem, as I see it, is that Mormons in the upper levels of business have a reputation for hard work and strict honesty, but they have compartmentalized their faith to the extent that they can say, “This is what I personally believe but I won't impose it on anyone else.”
That can make sincerely committed Mormons into useful tools for the Republican RINO elite in ways that conservative evangelicals are not. On many moral issues, they believe the right things, say the right things, and in their personal lives do the right things, but unlike those in the Christian conservative movement, many not be committed to implementing their beliefs in the public sphere.
That makes Mitt Romney's flip-flopping on abortion doubly dangerous. I'm guessing that he probably **DOES** believe abortion is wrong and would try hard to keep a fellow Mormon from getting an abortion. But would he “impose his faith” on non-Mormons? Would he nominate a Supreme Court justice who believes abortion is murder and therefore a fundamental violation of the Constitution? Based on past history, I think the answer is obvious that Romney can't be trusted on abortion.
The Roman Catholic Church, to their credit, has made quite clear that you can't be a faithful Catholic and be “pro-choice” in your votes while being pro-life in your personal beliefs. That's not true with the Mormons.
I'm not going to tell the Mormons how to run their church, but I sure wish they'd get a new “revelation” rejecting the way Romney and others have bifurcated their political and personal lives.
I'm not in any way, shape or form a Romney supporter, and I have Free Republic to thank for waking me up to just how bad Romney's publicly stated views on abortion really were when running for governor. With views like that, he can't be trusted.
Also, I've had no contact with anyone from the Romney campaign either this year or even in 2008. I did interview then-Sen. Joe Biden shortly before the 2008 general elections when the Obama campaign was trying to win rural Missouri, and I treated him fairly, just as I would with any other candidate running for office. However, none of the Republican candidates paid attention to our county in the 2008 elections and it looks like David Limbaugh's speech to a Republican event next weekend may be the closest we'll get to Republican presidential campaign involvement in our area this primary season.
That's way different from what I was used to in Iowa when you couldn't get presidential candidates to stay away from newspaper offices if you tried, but obviously rural Missouri is much less important than rural Iowa in the presidential campaign.
ICAM!!
