FR is supposed to be the bastion of conservative values, small government, religous piety, morality, etc.
The vitriol spewed towards a Mormon like Romney who from all accounts has led a moral life, been married to the same woman, and raised a large family is astounding. It is especially troubling because the same people on here attacking Romney all seem to be giving the Newtster a complete past on his past transgressions.
Newt seems to me a cross between Jimmy Swaggert and Barack Obama. Like Swaggert, Newt admits his sin and begs forgiveness. Like Obama, he then attacks anyone, especially in the media who brings up this uncomfortable subject.
Newt is the classic opportunist, who will say anything in prusuit of his objective. He is a smart guy, but too smart by half, because he now has a long record on which to be judged.
Anyone who is to beat obama will need to beat him on the issues. That is the economy, smaller gov't, less regulation, lower taxes, real energy program with drill baby drill.
If Newt somehow gets the nomination, Obama will be happy because the issue will be NEWT. His reprimand and House ethics investigative papers are sure to be leaked. His ex wife Marianne will be all over the networks. The issue will not be Obama's failures, but Newts. That is just the way it works folks, the MSM is the enemy and they will do Obama's bidding.
I have made no secret of my wish for a brokered convention. I was talking about it long before Rush and Scarborough brought it up. It is the only hope to restore sanity to the Republican Party. Newt has no chance, and like Cain before him, Newt has enough baggage to fill a 747, and is nominated, his campaign will crash and burn like none we have witnessed in modern times.
Newt is the bulldozer we've been waiting for.....
Willard is NOT conservative.
Doesn’t matter who the GOP nominee is, they’re going to get the same savage treatment. Someone who fights back would be nice for a change.
How can Romney stand up against Obama on the issues when they are virtually identical on the issues?
Obama and his minions have been fomenting the OWS movement over the past few months for one reason: they thought Romney was going to be the nominee and he is the epitome of the “1%”. Transferring the anger from an imaginary boogieman into an actual person would have been quite easy. Romney has ZERO shot at winning the presidency.
Good luck in all your future moronic endeavors.
1. I, for one, am sick and tired of seeing this country destroyed because we demand perfection. We are not going to get it.
2. Newt is the only one left articulating what needs to be done to save this country. Paul gets it on economic issues. Santorum gets it on social issues. Newt gets it on all issues.
3. There is not all that much "love" for Newt here compared to GOP candidates of the past (Dubya, Sarah etc.)I, for instance, don't particularly like him. But, oh yes, I'm supporting him.
Romney and BHO BOTH pro-abortion
Romney and BHO BOTH anti-2nd amendment
Romney and BHO BOTH pro-homosexual agenda
Romney and BHO BOTH pro-government mandated health care
and that’s just a start.
If you want to support Romney go ahead, that is on you but don’t try and couch it in how morally bankrupt Gingrich is as a cover for your support for Romney the guy who has said I am a moderate and love working across the isle.
Be honest for crying out loud.
That is a good question. Why don't you ANSWER it....or are you a post 'em and leave 'em type of guy?
Romney never met an issue he didn't like both sides of.
A political wilderness, eh?
Now where have I heard that term before?;-)
Here kitty, kitty....kitty.....
Watch out, Jim’s going to purge you for a thought crime.
“Romney”
You obviously know nothing about Romney. He is hardly a Constitutional supporter, a moral man, or of small government.
One more thing: the vitriol against Mitt isn't because he's a Mormon -- for the most part, anyway. I'll grant that there are some Mormon haters here.
The vitriol is because he has at times aggressively taken the wrong stance on important social issues such as abortion and anal-sex marriage, and because he pioneered ObamaCare.
Perry Person, now a Newt Person...Did I make it IBTZ?
IBTZ
Thanks for reminding why I stopped reading Powerlessline .
A bunch of Whiney moderates .
Mittens is the father of Obamacare the most
Destructive laws ever to be ram thru illegally in my life time .
We won back the house due to Obamacare and
You want the Idiot who created it to Be our candidate !
The entire Obama media had been prepped to
Dismantle Mittens .
Newt just gave us a small appetizer of the
Upcoming Soros media plan .
What is even odder is just like McCain
Mitten’s will run a vile destructive campaign against a fellow Goper but
Run a scared and sweet campaign against this
Evil Soros puppet who plans to be a dictator if
We do not stop him .
Mittens is clueless moderate Democrat
Trying to fool. Someone he belongs in the GOP .
That is why Newt called them on it in the last debate. The SRM is running scared of him for that reason. Go Newt!!
Really. I was getting completely beat up by newtbots here on FR yesterday. The guy cannot keep his hands off women and then acts nefariously to boot.
He is a sick narcissist that actually believes what he wants personally matters and that he can do whatever he wants to get it. His character is deeply flawed and is a liar and a sneak and takes advantage of those who love him and takes advantage of his political position. I make this comment based on factual information in the public domain.
Now, if I had been on his team, I would have advised him to say this: “I made a lot of mistakes and deeply hurt Marianne. I wish I had done better and have deliberately walked the straight and narrow path since my conversion to Catholicism. I offer my sincerest apologies to those I have hurt and will do whatever I can do to make it up to them.”
That is what people want to hear, not “she’s a liar”. He is such a loser.
Seems like a pretty miserable field of candidates who are good at dividing just when we need someone to unite the country against Obama.
Except for the whole furthering $50.00 infanticide thing...
