Me too, sir, me too.

Also going to add, Romney, the GOP, and Karl “The Worm” Rove better understand that they have zero pull and zero influence left.

The GOP needs to be put down IMO.

I'm not counting him out, just celebrating signs of an imploding campaign.

I thought we all needed a little bit of good news today, and this counts.

I think Newt is worse.

Same here. Something about him makes my skin crawl... Pretty tough to run on morals and values as a three time married blowhard who left his cancer stricken wife.

I'm fine with Gingrich.

I trust him to take it to the Marxist and to appoint strict Constitutionalist to SCOTUS.

Newt Gingrich spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition candidates forum. After his speech he answered questions from audience members.

Fro starter’s she never had cancer and he didn’t leave her. Their divorce was already underway. The divorce that she wanted.

I could not believe what a sniveling little twit Rove was during the last election. He even gives Rino’s a bad name. Sarah and Herman out foxed them for the most part.

It is hard to run a campagn when the press is against you, the DNC is against you and the RNC is against you.

SARAH WHERE ARE YOU GIRL?

“Pretty tough to run on morals and values as a three time married blowhard who left his cancer stricken wife.”

Blowhard, huh? You gotta stop reading Mother Jones, Wingnut;

“For almost three decades, Newt Gingrich has been dogged by a story that he served his first wife divorce papers while she lay in a hospital bed battling — or in some versions dying from — cancer. It didn’t happen that way.

In fact, Gingrich, the presidential candidate and former House speaker, and his first wife, Jackie Battley, had already separated and were planning to divorce before she was hospitalized. And while Battley had earlier undergone cancer surgery, this time she was in the hospital recovering from surgery to remove a tumor that — according to one of the couple’s daughters — was benign.”

Jackie (Newt’s daughter) wrote;

“As for my parents’ divorce, I can remember when they told me. It was the spring of 1980. I was 13 years old, and we were about to leave Fairfax, Va., and drive to Carrollton, Ga., for the summer. My parents told my sister and me that they were getting a divorce as our family of four sat around the kitchen table of our ranch home.

Soon afterward, my mom, sister and I got into our light-blue Chevrolet Impala and drove back to Carrollton.

Later that summer, Mom went to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for surgery to remove a tumor. While she was there, Dad took my sister and me to see her.

It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won’t repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here’s what happened:

My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested. Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother. She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor. The tumor was benign.”

That whole story was a fairy tale propagated by a media hellbent on bringing down Newt with the “morals” card because liberals know we live by a higher standard than they do and they know they don’t have any morals or values. She didn’t have cancer, she wasn’t on her death bed, and she wanted the divorce.

Like I've said before, I have grave doubts.

But right now I do trust him more than all the others that are left. I'd vote for any one of them other than Romney.

1. He fights, he will take it to the Marxist better than the others.
2. He's responsible for the only balanced budget in our lifetime.
3. He can articulate extremely well.
4. We can push him to the right by pushing the house to the right and taking the senate with a few more conservatives in this cycle, then he would likely be a bit more under control.

Honestly, I cannot blame Sarah or Herman for not running.

If you have to go into battle with enemies at all sides, even to the point of your supposed friends are your mortal enemies, then that is a battle that can’t be won.

Better to let them all do themselves in.

For the life of me, I cannot imagine Old Mittens Romney taking on Obama in anyway, shape, or form. The only people Mittens hates are conservatives. He's Barry Obama-lite. Heck, he'd be falling all over himself not to “offend” this Marxist usurper. Mittens would probably do a Juan McPain endorsement of his buddy Barry.

Why do Establishment Republicans have a death wish? Because they live, work, and get sucked into the liberal DC mindset. They have no contacts with “Flyover Country” and they don't care to. They're all about playing The Great DC Power Game.

The problem is they don't realize the major players are now hardened socialists/Marxists and they're playing by the old rules. The other guys aren't. The Stupid Party never disappoints — they remain the Stupid Party. They will not learn. They are inbred fools that intend to destroy the best country on the planet for the sake of political expediency.
