Romney brings out big guns, shoots self in foot (Romney imploding)
Legal Insurrection ^ | 12/8/2011 | William Jacobson

Romney is losing it. His coordinated assault on Newt does not make the case for Romney.

And it’s embarrassing. Romney brought out former Congressman and former Senator Jim Talent to bash Newt’s leadership as Speaker. Talent forgets that the internet has a long memory, and that Talent supported Newt for Speaker of the House even after the issues Talent now complains about were raised:

Old Quote from Talent: Allegiance comes from Rep. Jim Talent, R-Mo., who says, “I intend to support the speaker”

As I mentioned last night, bringing John Sununu to the rescue just reminds us of the appointment of David Souter and the breaking of George H.W. Bush’s “no new taxes” pledge, in both of which Sununu played an instrumental role as Chief of Staff.

Lost in all of the bad news lately is one fine glimmer of hope. Romney appears to be imploding. Finally, something FR can unite behind, the undoing of Willard!!!

It doesn’t matter which side they all lie back and forth to each other and can’t keep track of it.

We began to see some of it at Huckabee’s candidate forum. The Mitster appeared uncertain and disjointed. Was a wondrous sight to behold. :)

Romney MAY be done. However, Gingrich is just as bad.

The GOP is hopeless...They got lucky with Reagan and then George Bush washed Reagan down the drain...hell the GOP did not back Reagan ..it was the Southern Conservative Democrats that got the tax cut passed...

I think Newt is worse. Just something about him I dont trust. Maybe its the image of him giggling with Botox Pelosi on that couch...

I think we will be sorry of Newt is our nominee.

Anyone get the feeling that this is all kabuki theater and that the fix is already in and the nominee all all but chosen? The process is just an illusion for the sheep.

I’m leaning towards Perry. He’s a former USAF pilot,(other than RP, the only military vet running),a clean personal background (as far as I know) he’s a real conservative and has a fine record as Governor. What more could you want?

I don't trust Newt either.

It's just that I trust all the others a little less......

Cept Willard, who can never be trusted at all.

‘What more could you want?’

Someone that can string a cogent thought into a proper sentence.

Let's not count Romney out before anyone even votes. He does sound frazzled lately but he has a lot of backers. Newt has a lot of backstabbers.
