The other candidates/the GOP E - don’t have a thought between them - just trash Newt with negative ads or steal his words for their rhetoric.
It's to the point that most of Santorum's speeches contain more of Newt's thoughts, ideas, plans, visions than those of Santorum's speechwriters. It is really unseemly, santorum, after all, is the good christian candidate. But he never gives newt credits, or says that innocuous thing some candidates say, like I agree with my good friend and colleague, who says.... fill in the blank. He can't even do that.
Newt was his mentor. It is really sad to see, and even sadder how the people who follow him think he is this saint or something. that is the really sad part. He told his followers at a Colorado rally, "God called me to do this" - this kind of religious fervor is a very dangerous thing. Like one freeper said, santorum doesn't seem to understand, when govt opens the door to one religion's beliefs, it also swings the other way, given time. This is a big mess, simply because Santorum has nothing to offer as a candidate other than his behavioral goodness.
And, just how do you know God didn’t call him to do this? Hmmm??? Did God tell you otherwise? Inquiring minds want to know.
Newt supporters are as delusional as he is about winning even a brokered convention. His ego is as big as his ideas. Ideas are great, but, implementing them is a different story. He has too many ideas - people just want a few of the things a candidate offers and to hammer those points home. Plus, Newt has also made his share of gaffes. Can we say sitting on the couch with Pelosi? How about his support for over 20 years for cap and trade? Yes, he has some conservative views, but, has just as many liberal ones.
What people seem to want is to watch Newt destroy obama in a debate. He might do that - or the other Newt might show up too. Its a toss up. And, reality check time - Newt is a mature man and I don’t mean this disrespectfully - but, a younger, healthier man usually beats out the older one. Reagan was an exception to this rule.
Rick can do just a good of job as Newt if elected. We must remember the president needs to surround himself with capable, well-informed advisers. I’m afraid that Newt would be like a bull in a china shop - his way or the highway - in other words - not take good advice from others.
How exactly does this help Newt? On the other hand it does help Romney.
First of all, if you have to say it, it isn't true. God doesn't call anyone who lies about another to gain votes or promoting pro abortion candidate Romney, when there were other pro life candidates. Satan is the master of lies. On the note, have we seen his taxes yet?
Santorum has nothing to offer as a candidate other than his behavioral goodness.
And I haven't seen his behavioral goodness but I've seen his behavior in 'doing it for the team/GOP E' while voting against a conservative. And an underhanded deal with Kennedy so a church could gain property from veterans at way below market value. And his negative ad$ - that lies about Newt - are not goodness.
Might be shocking news to you, but Newt didn’t invent conservatism.

Well, said. I dislike Santorum as much as I dislike Romney. He’s a second-string candidate who few people would have supported if he didn’t seem like the only viable anti-Romney candidate left.
... not that I believe there IS a viable anti-Romney candidate left.
