I keep reading about the 'rich' helping Newt or Romney, but nobody, acknowledges the 'freebies' from Rush, that never have to be recorded.

First off, you are reading those stories about Newt and Mittens because they are true. Rick raised 8 mill last month. He said on Hannity today that 2/3rds of that was with donations under $100. The others cannot claim that. Secondly, what monetary value do you put on someone giving support to a candidate? Newt and Mittens are getting support from others big names. What is that worth? Having Rush, Levin, Beck, Malkin et al saying positive things about Ricks campaign just shows he is the better, more effective Conservative candidate in this race in their mind. Your hackneyed, burned out sour grapes argument against Rick makes me laugh. He was outspent and slammed with negative ads in MI and still walked away with half the delegates.

I did NOT dispute the stories about Newt or Mitt.... How do you know what the others can or cannot claim about their donations? Make stuff up much?

I spoke only about Rush. And given the amount of heavy lifting explaining what we are suppose to think about Santorum, playing parts of his speeches day in and day out is NO different than being part of his campaign. AND if he did the same for Newt I would say the same thing.

Well like most of the Santorum supporters said of Newt after Florida, Santorum stunk big time in the AZ debate. There was NO sympathy about the media blitz and Rush manipulation against Newt in the Florida primary.
