Frank Lunz was on the FOX Post Debate Analysis last night after South Carolina Debate. He made the statement that in 16 years of following Debates, that was the first time he'd ever seen a candidate get a Standing Ovation. Newt did not just get a Standing "O" from his supporters but, by-and-large from the entire crowd when he defended his comment about Barack Obama being the "Food Stamp President" and his stance on young Blacks needing a work ethic rather than government assistance.
Newt didn't just "knock it out of the park" once last night. He "knocked it out of the park" several times. I'm telling you; when the dust settles, if the two major Party nominees are Newt and Obama, Newt will mop the floor with the Marxist in Chief. And, refute this if you want, but most Americans, especially those who are not political junkies and are not tremendously informed, make up their mind as to whom they will vote for by watching the Debates. I've observed this since 1960. The Debates are the tipping points in the elections. Therefore, I submit that Mitt Romney is NOT the most electable Pubbie running. Newt Gingrich is the one who can defeat Barack Obama.
MONEY and POWER is all either party are about today... it is all that matters to any of the DC infections.

Santorum doesn’t have a chance in the general. The current dynamics of this country is not such that a strong conservative like Santorum will draw enough to beat O. O has shocked the country back to the right but not as far right as Santorum is. The move back to the right will need to start with a strong fiscal conservative like Newt who has increasingly move right on social issues as well. It’s time for Newt.
The Democrat Party, at the national level and more, has been taken over by Socialist Marxist Leftists. They are purposefully attempting to bankrupt the United States of America and ruin the private sector free market capitalist economy enriching themselves in the process with wealth and perpetual political power.
The Republican Party is about stopping the Socialist Marxist Leftists from accomplishing their goal and ensuring that the United States of America, individual Freedom and Liberty has a chnce to survive on this earth.
All of mankind’s fate is based on whether we can make this current distinction betwen our two major political parties.
The first thing the “bad guys” will tell you is that both sides are just the same.
Your cynical simplicity in equating the two major political parties of this nation as both only concerned with money and power is very disturbing, defeatist and non-productive.
Astute analysis.
And, judging by the posts on the debate thread on FR last night, there were more than a few "FRools" cheering Newt's performance last night! He CAN take the fight to Obama--better than any other candidate--and we "true" conservatives need to unite behind the one person who has the guts to charge instead of retreat when faced with the kind of "PC slings and arrows" the Left so skillfully launches at us!
Have you called them and suggested this? If you have a great idea, by your own logic, you are responsible to communicate it.
That picture’s hysterical. Nice job!

Well, I’m voting for the consistant conservative Rick Santorum SATURDAY...sweater vest and all.

The vest projects a mama’s boy who likes to avoid playing softball with the neighbor kids and stay in the kitchen with his mother, so he can lick the frosting from her cooking bowl.

We do NOT NEED the perfect candidate--we need the best one of the bunch who will not retreat before the LEFT's PC.
Newt showed he will fight--baggage and all--and we need to drop our "my man's better than your man" mentality and get behind the one who can defeat our REAL enemy!
And--BTW--most of us here on FR do NOT worship Newt or see him as the PERFECT GOP candidate; we worship the only "PERFECT GOD candidate"!
You’re dreaming. The GOP-E has rejected the TEA Party which saved and gave the GOP its historic 2010 win.
Nominate Romney and see what happens to the Grand Old Party.
A enemy inside the gates can do so much more damage, than an enemy outside.
I saw some audience members stand up and applaud at the end of the segment (Part 4) to which FPC linked. Is that the standing ovation you referred to in the original post? If not, which segment is that in?
The sole purpose of the Republican Party is to serve as an ineffective alternative to the Democrat Party.
No they aren't. They are about preserving their power. The Republicans simply usher in socialism slower but they ARE socialists.
Agenda - Grinding Down America
This is a film that you need to watch.
Good for you, keep your feet on the ground.

Well said,Laz and worth repeating.
At least Tokyo Rose in WW2 was honest about who she worked for. She had more integrity than Tokyo Rove.
