Still, the GOP seems intent on blowing it back to Obama. Let's get a team together and go after the Mombasa MF. Newt/Santorum, Romney/Santorum?
And Ron Paul is right on the budget. Whole departments like EPA/ED/ Gotta Go. Right now, the problem is still "serious" not "grave." If we can cut the Federal Budget by 15% in 4 years we are getting the problem 80% solved.
Right now we are playing the MSM game and looking like crap. If you want the MSM/Obama Game Plan in detail, just listen to NPR for 1 hour. Team Obama has a brilliant campaign going, as a result of which the ignorant voters who put the Mombasa MF in office in the first place, would be led to plausibly believe that everything from the earthquakes in Youngstown, to the Jobless Recession, to high gas prices is the fault of racist, crazy, evangelical, gun-totin' Republicans and George Bush. Obama is focused and campaigning his ass off. Why all of our troubles are due to this do-nothing Congress! Things are improving! Why change now? etc. ad nauseam.
Romney? Oh yeah, he's the best of a bad lot according to the MSM. Let Romney and Newt fight, OK? In My book, Newt's main problem? He ain't Cewt!
Santorum will not attract Independents. And, he does not inspire. He doesn’t inspire me. Looking forward, Newt has the best tried and true jobs and economic plan - Reaganomics. And, he is focusing on that messaging now.
Only Newt can unite the various wings of the GOP: Tea Party, lovers of life, the conservative base, etc., and have it play well on a national level. Newt will take it to the media too challenging the premise of the media questions. The media is enemy #1, not Obama. Obama can’t stand up on his own without the media propping him up.
Btw, Newt’s ACU rating is more conservative than Santorum, ever so slightly. Its 90 Lifetime. The National Taxpayer Union gave Gingrich A,A,A,and A, his last four years in the House. That made him 11th, 4th, 2nd, and #1 most conservative compared to other Republicans. Look it up.
I like Santorum, enough. But, I don’t think he is presidential timber. Newt has led a Republican majority. Newt understands our dual enemies: the radical left secularist and radical Islam. Failure to grasp these two key issues could cost us our future. The American people will overlook baggage for accomplishments. Give Newt a war chest, the game changes. If people don’t coalesce around Newt, say hello Romney and say hello Obama because Romney cannot beat Obama.
Just my 0.02.
