I wasn’t smearing anybody, or trying to, my focus was on what the gop plans to do to all conservative candidates on down the road... including Santorum. They’ve about emptied their load on Newt, and they are expecting Santorum to be next... and they will dispense with him, probably easier than they did Newt - unless newt manages to hang on - Newt and his campaign are all still holding on... but we are tired and have gotten a glimmer of what the romney machine has to carry on... The ad buys alone here were 15mil - Newt 3mil. do you have any idea what amount of work you have to do grassroots to counter and maybe cover a gap like that... it required superhuman efforts...

don’t call it a smear job - because I say twice I didn’t know if it was true, but my point is it doesn’t matter if it is true, because they will do whatever they have to to undo Santorum the way they are trying with Newt..

I can’t prove it... that’s why twice I said, it doesn’t matter if it’s true... I don’t know if he was trying to discourage me or worry me, or what... his point was, you might as well get on the romney bandwagon now, because once they finish Newt off, and they plan to, they will start on Santorum, and once he’s finished, if need be, they’ll deal with Paul... IOW, don’t waste time and energy fighting for any kind of conservative or any Tea Party candidate... the deal is done. And it did discourage me, and worry me, but that is the battlefield, for everybody, not just Newt, don’t think Santorum will escape it... or Paul for that matter.

Well, that was my point - to a lot of people the truth does matter, but not to those guys. I am really tired and I must not be expressing myself very well. That’s what some so called gop bigshot told me - you or I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true... but he just might have said it even if it wasn’t true, like I said, to discourage me or others. We are tired in Florida, and so easily discouraged, but still fighting. But I think the mindset of the romney gop evidenced in his remarks to me is spot on: Whatever works...

Yes you were, and you did, and it was a pretty disgusting piece of work. Your first post said all about you that I care to know. Please don't ever post to me again.
