Newt is very right.

We are dividing up the conservative votes as well.

The anyone but Romney vote, is giving us an unvetted candidate

who will have a heck of time getting women to vote for him. As depressed as the democratic women voters are, he will energize them. Please people turn course, help Newt. Obama's regime has to be fought, on ideas not just to remove him.

also-We have too many people who do not care any longer.

They just don't have the fight left. We have soldiers in harm's way, they are fighting for us with a anti american cic. Gotta get Newt, if we want reform. take it to radicals, I say, before it's too. We need to throw out the richy class rinos...

We certainly are dividing up not only the Republican votes but the votes of our fellow conservatives as well. We have formed circular firing squads when instead of aiming at ourselves we should be pointing out the things our Remarkable President Obama has done.

Can't we get on with that? Please? Before it's too late?

I just got back from the Cobb County Gingrich rally. I did
not know that Herman Cain would be there, but he was and
so was Phil Ginnery(?sp). Lots of people there. I had a
FR for Newt sign, but did not meet any other Freepers who
said they were going. I’m for Newt, then Santorum.

You cannot go through life expecting major changes, without taking risks and fighting for what you believe in. The same old line, in house corruption are causing the depression and throwing hands up. These problems have been there for a long time. People need to put bold changes first or we will never be like we once were. Imo. God only knows our path now.

Gingrich poked fun at President Barack Obama's subsidy for those purchasing electric cars, saying "you can't put a gun rack on them."

Sorry but I think Newt is the one who started all negative ads and Mitt retaliated....and I am not a Mitt supporter.

Sorry, but you're full of BS.

Romney and his sidekick RuPaul ran the first negative ads in the first state Iowa.

Actually, Mitt started the attack...as far back as Iowa when Newt started getting traction.

Mitt is now doing the same against Santorum.

He also pursued this line of “campaigning” in 2008. He is known for this.

The difference this cycle? The establishment GOP has his back...it wasn't his turn last time. It was McCains.

WRONG!

Newt took the high road in Iowa and respected Ronald Reagan's commandment. Mitt's extremely nasty and overwhelming negative blitz the last two weeks in Iowa cost Newt the state.

Don't put a bet on it you would lose" BIG TIME". Romney started all the negative ads and still has more to come. We are watching an election being bought. So far Santorum has been the benificiary but it will not last. Santorum has no chance against obama.

If you want to win the elction in 2012 vote for Newt!

So what justifies Newt by saying this when his own big money man with his SuperPac just gave Newt another $ 10 Million for the very purpose to go after Rick Santorum and not Romney ?
