How does Newt get to be the conservative after his anti-capitalist, politics of envy attacks on Romney? I was ready to support Newt. At this point I think he is a loony toon and I’m supporting Romney so at least we have a chance to win.
I guess I seriously have to question my fellow tea partiers. Are we just a bunch of prejudiced, anti-morman, populist bigots?
Mitt’s speech tonight via YouTube via ABC news.

Great speech!
The LDS is doing its part to help Mitt. I just wish evangelicals would come out against his faith.
People as you give up so easy-give away give away-You will get Obama. Why? Because many people will not sell their principles for Romneycare.
He backed away from that quickly. I think he was getting desperate for something new to throw at Romney; a mistake, but it had become a free-for-all. Not excusing it but it doesn't make him a liberal.
I heard him defend it on Kudlow to the point of embarrassment. More than a mistake. Major revelation of something really ugly to me.
I just watched our local news (Columbus, OH) and they showed the latest PPP poll. It seems that both Newt and Santorum are beating Mitt in the polls here in OH. I don’t think Romney will take our state. Yay!
Don’t think Romney is a shoe-in.
He can’t get half the delegates.
He can’t get half the delegates.

....46 states to go !
Don’t tease me, Nana. Boot the mitt out of Tennessee!
The thing is most states use proportional method in allocating their delegates
. So, it depends also how big the win/lose each in their ‘natural region. Can Romney attract 20-30% in the Southern states? Can Newt get 20-30% in non Southern states?

But newt already proved he is no conservative with those attacks. He is a populast opportunist. Why does he get a pass?
roughly spent $25 million
roughly 750,000 votes
roughly $33 per vote
Gingrich:
roughly spent $5 million
roughly 500,000 votes
roughly $10 per vote
The big problem with the 25 million dollars is that Mitt’s rich Communications pals got most of it.
Very little of it will bleed down to those who need it.
It has nothing to do with his religion. Newt has made some mistakes by putting his foot in his mouth, but, that’s nothing compared to Romneycare and Obamacare coming our way. Care to defend it?
Thank you, T, for the positivity.
Last night Hannity was telling Newt how good this process is because it makes the candidates stronger.
Newt just gave him that fatherly smile with a twinkle in his eye, you know the one. I wanted to strangle Hannity - it was as if he’d said, ‘Child abuse isn’t so bad, it puts starch in your collar!’ I’d like to see how Hannity would hold up.
Newt was so cordial, as if he knew there was no way Hannity or anyone could possibly know what it really takes.
I’m glad Newt has the humility to say, don’t vote FOR me, vote WITH me, because I can’t do it by myself.
He’s not feeling sorry for himself - he knows the game.
A friend once told me, even a little Christmas tree light has all the power of the Hoover Dam behind it.
I’m praying to know that God is our Hoover Dam, empowering Newt and all of us, giving us strength to conquer this mountain.
Most people are ignorant about the Mormon faith. Google is their friend, if they’d just do their homework. How people can believe that “other gospel” is beyond my comprehension.
I would suggest that you not defy Jim Rob’s explicit orders not to pimp for Mitt Romney at FR.
It is comments like “anti-Mormon bigots” that reinforce how right we are when we say that a Romney presidency will be 95% the same as an Obama Presidency. Just switch “You hate him because he’s black” to “you hate him because he’s Mormon.”
The dirty little secret is: There are gobs more people supporting Mitt Romney JUST BECAUSE he’s Mormon than there are people opposing him because of his religion.
And it was Mitt Romney who started the “anti-Capitalist attacks,” not Newt. Newt just didn’t have the GOP media in his pocket to spread the meme.
Romney said he’ll repeal Obama care nothing to defend. I saw newt repeat his leftist anti-capitalist drivel with my own ears again and again. No way to wiggle out. Has he apologized and retracted?
