Newt Gingrich took the stage at the Georgia Republican Party state convention on Saturday wearing a Mitt Romney sticker, focusing his attacks on President Barack Obama and attempting to energize the crowd around his former Republican rival.
"To every conservative, everywhere in America: When your choice on the one hand is Barack Obama, and your choice on the other hand is Mitt Romney, no serious conservative could possibly believe that electing Barack Obama is acceptable ... for America."

My opinion, put briefly:
Because S V is a long time, patient, leftist Troll/Mole. His posting history supports that. It is very easy to read between the lines.
He is playing games on a conservative forum.
“This is the 4th time you have endorsed surrender in the Presidential election on this thread.”
In the army will called it economy of force. You use your forces were they will do the most good.
It is not surrender, in my view, because I consider voting for Romney to be surrendering to GOPe Tyranny and continued liberals and rascals representing the conservatives of the GOP. So, in my view, you are surrendering to the GOPe to vote for Romney.
Like I wrote another person on this forum. Do you really think the GOPe has your best interests and values at heart? Do you really want them to continue to foist undesireables like Romney on the conservative base of the party? Is that what you think is in your best interests? I don’t think it is in mine. Romney doesn’t remotely represent my values or views....he is a country club GOPe elite and answers to the Salt Lake Mafia as well. It doesn’t get much worse than that. Plus, he literally bought this primary. Is that in your best interests?
So, as I see it, we have two serious enemies to conservatism. Obama - the very obvious enemy. And the GOPe and its flawed candidate Romney. Both are to be opposed.
Answer a series of simple questions. OTHER than being the GOPe candidate running against Obama, does Romney represent your values and interests? Do you agree with Romney’s views and record as governor of Mass? Can you really support Romney knowing how flawed he is? Does Romney represent you or the GOPe? Don’t dodge, but answer the questions honestly.
You stated you understood Mr. Robinson’s principled stand. Why can’t you understand that he just cannot support or vote for Romney because he does NOT represent conservative views & values. Not even close.
That is it. You have surrendered to the GOPe’s continued rule over the future of the GOP when you let them foist Romney on you. You “may” see him beat Obama. But as I have said, does Romney trully represent your values and views? What victory is there in him being POTUS? If you are a conservative, YOU LOSE WITH ROMNEY AS WELL AS OBAMA.
Well, whatever, we have gone in circles over and over. Nothing has been resolved, only irritation or worse has come about.
I am going to make a confession here. Although, as I have said, my disgust for Romney is greater than my fear of Obama. Should Romney actually win, I will probably feel some temporary “relief” because I do fear Obama and four more years of him. However, I know in my soul, that this relief won’t last long. Down the road all that voted for Romney because the feared Obama so, will regret putting Romney in office. I sincerely hope I am wrong though. I think I am right on this issue, but I don’t want to be if Romney should be elected. I don’t want conservatism set back. I don’t want the GOPe to continue to rule.
I guess ultimately, it is want your side and my side fear the most that drives our actions. History and time will tell. I hope I am wrong, should Romney be elected. Should Obama be reelected, I hope I am right that congress with increased numbers from NOV we be able to neuter him.
At this point, I don’t see any further use in us discussing the issue. I know you cannot resist having the last word...so go for it.
I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.
Quite a "confession" indeed for someone who openly mocked as "irrational" anyone's fear of the spectre presented by another 4 years of an Obama administration.
This county will not survive another 4 years with Obama in office.
If Obamacare survies the USSC in any form, it will take 2/3 House and 2/3 Senate to over-ride Obama's certain veto of legislation to undo it.
It will be a long slog and even if successful too much of Obamcare would be implemented by 2014, it simply won't matter. It will be irreversible. And Obama's appointments to the judiciary and USSC will seal it forever.
If Romney is in all we need is 218 House and 51 Senators + Romey's promised signature to rip out ObamaCare legislatively. And we have real hope that the Tea Party can and will influence an (R) over a (D) especially if my strategy for cabinet appointments is followed.
How's this for a novel idea: Run with your proposed cabinet
Your conservative strategy cred is completely shot, and you owe everyone on this thread a truly humbling apology.
