Gingrich to Georgia GOP: Let's rally around Romney
The Florida Times Union ^ | May 19, 2012 | Errin Haines

Posted on 05/19/2012 5:59:36 PM PDT by Innovative

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."

If Gingrich is FOR RomneyCARE and Romney LIES
and the rest of the Romney facade,
then he is no longer one of us.

Goodbye Mr. Speaker.

So, when will you be joining the Obama campaign?

There is no longer even one primary candidate, opposing Romney. Pick a lane.

169 days until the election.

Two things:

1. Romney is for repealing Obamacare.

2. Did it occur to you that maybe Gingrich does have the country’s best interest at heart, unlike some of the “cut off your nose to spite your face” types around here, who would rather see Obama get reelected and watch the country destroyed, than to act sensibly.

We now have a two party political system with a single unopposed agenda.

Did it ever occur to you that some of us had publically stated that if Romney gets the nomination the GOP will lose and Obama will win another 4 years?

Well, some of us need to save face and make sure in the end our predictions come true.

Pride above country, that's what I say.

I will do all I can to prevent Barack Hussein Obama, an evil, avowed enemy of my beloved country, from having a second term.

I’m in line.

Gingrich stumps for Romney, calls for unity

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/19/gingrich-stumps-for-romney-calls-for-unity/

“At the convention, he stressed the importance of making a Republican sweep not only in the Oval Office this November, but also in elections across the country.

“I am not for a narrow victory,” he said. “I am for crushing the left in every single way.”

Gingrich’s campaign appearances this weekend marked the first of a string of stops the former candidate will make for his former opponent. The two will share the stage together for the first time at the end of May at a Las Vegas campaign event.”

This is not unexpected. All major party figures will endorse Romney—with varying degrees of emotion and support. To do otherwise would be political suicide.

But as far as rallying around Romney...I think that I’ll pass. I received a Romney fundraising call this week wanting me to donate some amount (perhaps $100; I forget). When I declined, they asked for a lesser amount. I explained that I was a social conservative, and that Mitt Romney was my enemy.

Dead silence...for about ten seconds.

Then they hung up.

I don’t need someone to agree with me 100%, but I will support the Republican Party nominee when the Party nominates someone that is not my enemy.

That didn’t happen this year.

Maybe next election cycle they will seek my vote. Maybe not. But they will not get my vote by nominating a social (ahem; wink, wink) moderate.

“I explained that I was a social conservative, and that Mitt Romney was my enemy.”

But Barack Hussein Obama is your friend?

McCain is the last liberal I will ever vote for. I will certainly never vote for a liberal like Mitt. Adios, GOP.
Thanks for taking advantage of my loyal support all those years.

That’s sad that it came to that. What makes them think that abandoning/alienating the social conservatives will result in either political sense or the country being turned around from its present downhill slide?

“I am not for a narrow victory,” he said. “I am for crushing the left in every single way.”

That is the Prime Directive.

Newt was my guy but as I've said over and over I will never vote for Romney.

BTW If you disagree please don't waste the bandwidth telling me so...
