As I will vote for Newt should he win. Anyone but Willard or Obama.
This is all that needs to be said - I support X, but will vote for Y should he win the nomination.
The incessant trashing of Santorum in favor of Newt, or vice versa, is juvenile and needs to stop NOW.

A very reasonable post. I posted a similar point way back when Gov Perry was still in the race; however, it didn’t change things here in the “trenches” of FR.
I agree it would be better if posters could “accentuate the positive;” however, there are some posters who are “serial flame posters” who skip from thread to thread using the same inflammatory tactics; then, move on w/o defending their “hit and run” posts. Who knows who these posters really support. Maybe they just like attention.
I don’t mind a Rick or a Newt supporter intelligently countering an argument or point made against their candidate or defending against something that is provably untrue. It’s posters that make unsupported allegations, counter reasoned arguments w/ad hominem attacks; make vague allegations; use “strawman” arguments or employ “guilt by association” methods whom I take issue with.
So, while we can at least agree on these terms; of course, we should also expect that others will play the political game according to their own rules ...such is life, love, war and politics!
