We are the resistance!!
Good! I approve, and I will NEVER vote for that Romney insect, who stayed in a Paris PALACE for his “mission”.
Good for him!
I really don’t understand why one would call for a specific primary. A congratulatory call makes sense at the end of a race, not at each mile post along the way.
I can’t agree.
Calling the winner to congratulate him is a longstanding traidtion and one rooted in “healing” the various rifts, at least on a personal level, once a nominee is chosen.
Calling in this case “concedes” nothing. It simply respects a tradition that has been helpful in bringing together the party after the race is over.
“And it’s not just Gingrich’s behavior toward Romney that I’ve observed, there’s also the fact that according to the Free Republic, 92 percent of ads in Florida have been negative instead of substantive. “
GO NEWT, GO FREE REPUBLIC!
“So, Gingrich didn’t play nice after the fight. So what? At least he’s not packing weaponry. “
Great Article!
Amen to dat.
I’m at the point now that if Romney wins the nomination I would encourage Newt to run as an independent.
I would rather have a GOP controlled congress opposing Obama at every turn than a GOP controlled congress going along with Romney’s liberal agenda.
Newt made the better choice not to call.
Romney is a scumbag! He is not worthy of courtesy from Newt after his scorched earth campaign of lies and smears!
I do not know the answer.
Did Romney call after South Carolina?
I like Santorum but it's a two man fight it seems and he should bail out.
With Newt pressuring him, I don't know if he'd get Santorum's support once he does drop out?
It might be a tradition in the case of an honorable win...but this was nothing of the sort. Romney is not an honorable man.
Hmmmm... sounds to me like Romney is whining.
“Boo hoo, he didn’t call me!!!”
As for the missing phone call? It makes me happy. Newt has pledged his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor. That's enough. He might offend Emily Post by having a little dirt under his fingernails in-between rest stops along the road. Good.
Good for him, after the way Romney and the establishment has acted then I will never vote for their guy if RINO gets the nomination.
Of course we now have a couple of posters on another thread saying that we are now voting for obama if we do not vote for Romney. Never saw that coming, sarc>
Sometimes it’s necessary to stand for principle. Can’t imagine that he could congratulate Romney with all the negatives that he has advertised.
There are limits. Don’t really like Newt’s statements but also don’t like Romney’s statements during this campaign.
To congratulate him after this would be disingenuous.
Your statement just BEGS the questions... What RESPECT was given to Gingrich from Oromney in Florida? Honestly?
What has Oromney done to show that he even cares about what we (true conservatives) think of him?
Oromney is perfectly comfortable with alienating MOST conservatives with disgusting mischarectorations and outright lies about Gingrich. He wants to win SOOOOoooo badly that he is willing to burn everything around him to the ground in order to claim ONE STATES delegates...
To hell with that Obama wannabe elitist snob and he should consider himself damn lucky that Newt doesn't punch Oromney in the nose the next time they are face to face.
I will be writing in Newt Gingrich on my ballot this November. Oromney will NEVER get my vote.
