Newt is delusional. I see this as a ploy to get more contributions to bail him out of debt. He wasn’t competitive before and he won’t be after Santorum’s departure. Santorum was the last true conservative left in the race.
I was going to donate this week to help get him out of debt. He espoused my values. Now, I just doubled my previous amount. Guess I am one of those “Born Every Minute”, but I know he made me feel hopeful and I owe him for that.
Still, I want to say “Go NEWT!!”
Newt’s done more for the conservative movement than all but a handful of people since the dawn of the Reagan era. Santorum isn’t even a blip on the radar screen. Santorum was one of the Republican leaders who helped squander the majority Newt built in Congress and whose missteps made it possible for Obamacare to be forced on us.
Maybe so, maybe not. But by this statement of yours, you proce that YOU are truly delusional: "Santorum was the last true conservative left in the race."
Santorum was no conservative at all. He was and remains a Statist through and through.
