Newt Gingrich, stumping in south Alabama, presses attack on White House......"Addressing a packed crowd of breakfast patrons at the Captain's Table restaurant on the Mobile Causeway, Gingrich blamed the White House for failed energy policies and high gas prices.

At Mama Lou's restaurant in Robertsdale, Gingrich rapped Obama as a big-government liberal.

"I want to pit unemployment and food stamps against jobs and paychecks," he told an audience of about 200 from the restaurant's front porch."......

UNLIKE Rick and Mitt, Newt Gingrich didn't sit on his laurels complaining about the liberal political landscape of his state. Newt CHANGED the political landscape in GA (as he did in Washington), brought Democrats into the party, rallied people to get involved in politics -- all by pushing conservatism.

________________________________________

"ATLANTA — It wasn't so long ago that the Republican Party in Georgia was just an afterthought, and Democrats were in firm control of all the levers of state government. Back then, Newt Gingrich and other die-hard GOP stalwarts ventured across the state with the far-fetched message that Republicans could reverse the tide.

Now with commanding majorities in the Statehouse and control of all statewide offices, Gingrich is hoping his vision for how the GOP could overcome decades of Democratic dominance in Georgia will pay dividends. He sorely needs a victory when his home state votes Tuesday, along with a big chunk of its 76 delegates, to prove his stumbling presidential bid has staying power.

Many Republican figures in Georgia still credit him with championing conservative policies, outlining a framework for what a GOP majority in the state could accomplish and broadcasting talking points to a generation of up-and-coming conservative leaders. He's also applauded for lobbying conservative Democrats, like then-Rep. Nathan Deal, to switch parties.

"Everyone else was trying to lose as slowly as possible, and to die with dignity at the Alamo. He was talking confidently that the Republican majority in Georgia, in the South and nationally was right around the corner," said Ralph Reed, a veteran Georgia GOP operative who founded the national Faith and Freedom Coalition. "On the one hand it was crazy, but on the other it was just the most exciting thing you've ever heard.".....................In Ga., Gingrich helped build conservative base

The only thing missing from this video is the lullaby theme.

This ****s getting ridiculous

How can you win Oh or Pa if you havent had scrapple? a panini or perogies?
None of them has ever had city mock chicken

How do you win Ky or Tn if you never ate burgoo?
How you gonna win Tx if you never had an armadillo egg?

Am I watching an election or the food network?

Gingrich: I'm more Southern than Romney

Why doesn't Newt leave the divisional politics to Obama.

Besides, Newt sounds like where he came from: Pennsylvania

Last time we elected a candidate because he was a Southerner, we got Jimmah Carter.

I’m tired of identity politics. Just give me a conservative.

Mark Steyn used to be my favorite EIB Guest Host ... he's refreshing, with a keen Shakespearean wit ...

Then came the 2012 Florida Primary, with Newt Gingrich leading in Florida ...

I (living in Florida) listened to Marjk Steyn day-after-day ... while he performed a hatchet-job on Newt Gingrich ...



So ... it's radio ... and everyone has a right to their expressed opinion ...

Of course ...



But Mark Steyn's "grevious" crime was lambasting Newt Gingrich, while leaving Mitt Romney virtually untouched ...

And all of this happened from behind Rush's (self-proclaimed) Golden EIB microphone of "GOP political primary neutrality" ...

It was disgusting to listen to ... day after day ...



I'm just calling Mark Steyn to account for this ... that's all ...

I could try to get in as an EIB caller ... but that's almost impossible ...

And besides, I'm beginning to suspect that Rush Limbaugh has his own cadre of "seminar callers" ...

who faithfully support Rush's "party line" for the day ...



Again (again, LOL) ...

Rush Limbaugh, Mark Steyn and Shawn Hannity have every right to say what they want ...

But (when appropriate) they should stop the "pious nonsense" of claiming "conservative" political neutrality ...



Did anyone hear Rush's defense of Mitt Romney's "southern grits" verbal gaffe(s) yesterday (Friday, 2012-03-09) ?

It was amazing ...

Rush has formerly "dive-bombed" Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry (et al) when they've tried to put on a "racial" or "regional" accent for a speech ...

Mitt Romney tried it ... failed MISERABLY ...

and yet Rush Limbaugh defended Romney to the hilt ...

Somtheing I haven't heard Rush Limbaugh do since ...

well, since he was (daily) defending Little Ricky Santorum's campaign gaffes ...

So Romney's now a Southerner!! Perhaps he should use as The Man from the South as his campaign song.

I’m keeping track of Romney’s robo-calls = 16 thus far.

Most folks might get tired of that nuisance.

Lord knows, I am.

Going to Newt Gingrich’s Rally in Brandon, Mississippi, at the City Hall tomorrow night!

Unless something truly unexpected happens at the convention, I plan on voting for Newt twice this year.

Not by much. Newt is from PA and Mitt was born in Michigan. Both are Rust Belt states.

I just want to know that the Republican candidate is more presidential than the current goon in the white house.

Just sayin’....... :)
