Thank you. I neither tweet nor socially network.

Santorum is wrong. His voting record is well known - I post it regualarly here on FR - and he is no conservative. We can win this election, just not with Santorum himself or Romney the Closet Democrat.

One thing I now recognize: none of the three candidates is what I can honestly call, “a nice guy”.

I’m not looking for “a nice guy”. I want someone who can take Democrats apart and downsize government. Why the Republican National Committee is determined to throw this spendid opporutnity away, is beyond stupid to me.

Obviously trying to give Mitt credit for the “rally” before the Dems can fully lay claim to it for the Bamster. My guess is neither one will be able to claim the “rally” for very long; as I suspect it is based upon false optimism over “manufactured” unemployment statistics.

As Newt pointed out in his press conference last night and in interviews this morning; if we took the number of people who have given up on looking for a job and those who are in a job where they are still looking for a better job comparable w/their old job the unemployment levels would be around 17%.

I would also suspect that there is some serious gerrymandering going on with the “seasonally adjusted” figures. It's all “smoke and mirrors.”

Sorry for the day late reply. My pings get lost among the FReepathon graphics. Newt addressed this issue in his presser last night. Seems that Mr. Adelson will support the GOP nominee if the nominee isn’t Newt, so long as the nominee (Romney) is adamantly pro-Israel. Mr. Adelson is entirely against the current _resident/occupier in the White House.

I have trouble there, because I can’t fathom trusting a slimebag liar, but Mr. Adelson is a staunch Republican... so perhaps his money can work miracles when it comes to Romeny and Israel.

Hey! I just got your source link. Extremely rich writing there. Thank you very much! I learned a lot. I see it unfolding. But, anything “versable” is reversible, no? Thank you again!

Nobody buys off Sheldon Adelson, Nobody! I suspect that Adelson expects Romney to betray Israel and knows that it would never happen with Newt.

So, what’s the attraction to Romney and not Santorum? That’s quite a campaign killer for Newt to have your premier backer announce, or to allow to be announced, that you will eagerly toss your millions forward to another just as soon as your guy suspends, implodes, or is eventually taken to the cleaners. Doesn’t say much for his confidence in a Newt victory.

Thank you so much for your reply! I wasn’t able to see Newt last night, and wondered what all of the hoopla was about WRT Newt, Mitt, and Adelson.

“I have trouble there, because I can’t fathom trusting a slimebag liar, but Mr. Adelson is a staunch Republican... so perhaps his money can work miracles when it comes to Romney and Israel.”

That’s true. From what I’ve gathered, Jews are leaving the ‘rat plantation. Adelson might be able to persuade a lot of people.

I’m still not voting for Mitt unless there is some kind of strategy in place to replace all of the RINOS ASAP.

I have always liked that the TEA Party wasn’t an organized entity. But, given the fact that we can affect future elections, and get rid of RINOS one at a time as we did in ‘10, maybe it’s time to organize and take over the R party.

NYT is playing mind games with Newt’s base.

Looks that way.

Well, we're ready to fight (like girls)! LOL.

Bray wrote an interesting piece, and I thought about you right away. Goes along with our conversation here.

I'm just now signing out for the night! See what you think about the piece. I'm pretty sure you'll know the election he addressed.

Good night and God bless you, dear dixiechick2000!

I’m sorry I missed your Braying on your Saturday thread. I caught it late last night while I read the Sunday Talk show thread.

Koch brothers are behind Romney.”

Well. I know that most freepers are firmly in the “obama is better than Romney” camp.

I’m certainly not. But I have to say, I was unaware that the Koch bros were behind Romney, but if that is the case, that is about the strongest endorsement that Romney could possibly have in my book. I admire and trust the Koch brothers. Romney, not so much. But if he is good enough for the Koch brothers, that says something....

Adelson is pro-Israel, end of story - and he is absolutely a fierce republican - he is the founder of the Republican Jewish Coalition which is responsible for bringing Jews to the GOP. He loves Israel.

Adelson is saying he will support whoever wins the nomination. He CANNOT publicly endorse anyone because of the Super PAC.

BTW if Santorum wins the nomination Adelson will support him too, there is no doubt of that... He may have only been asked about Romney.
