You better look around. It’s the Santobots who like to post negative threads about Gingrich. I in-turn will stick to the Gingrich threads, but it’s you SantoBots who come in there to spew on positive Newt articles. I don’t go to Santorum threads to snipe at him. Again to be clear, I respond after you guys have first pooped on Gingrich so I defend him against the nonsense.
The so called Sanbots have a solid argument. I am tired of you folks tearing him down. He is a solid Conservative. Deal with it.
And yet just yesterday you went into a Santorum thread to snipe at him about his DeWine endorsement.
Not that it matters. I try to stay out of all the Newt threads, either pro, or like this one, negative. Once in a while I go into one and try to discuss some policy point, but that rarely is welcome anyway around here.
And there are lots of anti-Santorum threads, and the Santorum people aren't posting them. And there are anti-Gingrich threads like this, and the Gingrich folks aren't posting them. There used to be anti-Romney threads, but not much anymore, people are too busy posting anti-Gingrich and anti_Santorum thread.
However, I will say there is a distinction to be made. This particular thread is anti-Gingrich, but it is a real article from a real newspaper, so it is "news", and it helps to discuss it (I'm not discussing it, I'm reading to see whether any pro-Newt folks have any actual responses to the article, unfortunately not, just complaints about the article, but I still hold out hope).
A lot of the negative articles, mostly Santorum but also some GIngrich, aren't current news items, they are dredged up old stuff being posted again and again. I'm not complaining about that either -- I'm ignoring them, and I imagine everybody is except a few who like to argue about things as if anybody cares.
I think it makes people feel good to post stuff, but it isn't changing anybody's minds. Which is good, because if anybody came here to FR to have their minds changed, we'd end up with Romney winning our nomination.
For example, last night we had an "anti-Santorum" thread posted and the pro-Newt folks where there, and it turned out the article was a pro-Romney article that bashed Gingrich as well.
