Just sent Mr. Gingrich a hundred smackers.

In politics, there is the third rail of SS. It is referred to as the rail that thou shalt not touch, because like the subway rail, it is hot and will fry you.

Well, there is another third rail. 200 million people who were otherwise qualified to vote did not register or vote last time, because they could care less.

Both candidates were different sides of the same coin. What was there to get excited about?

However, after three years of open warefare, with the aid and abetting of the willful media, this country is going down the toilet.

People have noticed what happens with silent aquiesence. They are mad, they are driven, they want that scumbag set back on his heels, and the GD media enablers with him.

That is the third rail of the electorate, and Mr. Gingrich has located it and tapped into it.

Mr. Gingrich is going to ride it all the way to the White house, and the next eight years. We are going to carry him there.

JR says rebellion is brewing. It is way past that, it has come to a boil and the pot overflows.

Lets work for a sweep from dog catcher to President!

Meanwhile... Santorum dismisses the idea that the South Carolina primary reshaped the race into a Gingrich-Mitt Romney face-off. Saturday’s results could very quickly be overshadowed by the Jan. 31 Florida primary, in which he’s hoping to reemerge as a factor. "The Race Has Just Begun!", he said on sunday

Yes, all of those years of compromising with the left has left him with an inside angry spirit that is hard to detect...but now Newt will bring it out, and rightly so.

Santorum is not a viable candidate. Sorry.

They said that about Newt about three months ago. A lot can change very quickly. If Newt suddenly bombs you will regret Santorum having dropped out of the race.

Although I could vote for Newt in the general, frankly, I think many at FR have shown poor judgment in expecting that Mr. Gingrich will do what he has led them to believe. But then, I said that when so many fell for Arnold in California.

Can you please define what an “election eve concession speech” is? Let me guess, you weren’t exactly at the top of your high school graduating class, were you?

LOL...man, I miss that paper. I’d pick it up once in a while and nearly every page was a gem. I was genuinely sad when it wentout of business.

“If nominated Gingrich will give one of the most articulate, imaginative and forceful election eve concession speeches ever.”

I voted for Bush in the 1980 Primary. Unfortunately the ‘unelectable’ Reagan won. What a bunch of STUPID Republican voters, nominating that actor who was ready to blow up the world because he HATED the Soviets so much.

Carter never had a happier day than to learn that Reagan was his opponent...

Yeh, I knew what you meant. That statement Romney just made about foreclosures, may be true, but it’ gonna leave a mark. I’ll enjoy seeing him try to squirm out of it.

Santorum can just suspend his campaign and then get back in, in the event that those space aliens Newt met in the ‘90s come back to abduct him.

Newt was winning Florida in December before all the negative ads hit. These people have come back to Newt. He’s got 2 more debates this week which is always good for him. Imagine the lead he would have if Santorum would drop out and endorse him. You have to consider Newt the favorite. They’ve thrown the kitchen sink at him and he’s still there. The people want a strong leader who will take down Obama hard. This is no time for the weak and timid. Newt will beat Obama so everyone needs to stop with that silly argument. They were the same people telling you Romney had this wrapped up hoping people would believe them and just handed over to Mitt. I think people don’t want to be told what to do by the elites in the media. I would say, just put on C-Span and listen to a Newt Gingrich town hall. It’s just common sense and we know Newt will give the country a clear choice by clearly defining what Obama is and not being afraid to say it. Newt says what we are all thinking and that’s why he’s resonating. Go Newt!

God bless you, going hot!

I know you’re right about our third rail and Newt Gingrich has not only tapped into in, he’s leading the charge and the lamestream is well aware and trying to downplay and fight back!

I’m going to send him the money I saved for over 3 years for Sarah Palin. I’m all in for Newt Gingrich and I’ve decided now is the time he needs my Sarah Palin money. I’ll try to find more when he’s the nominee.

“FINALLY - a source more reliable than CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC combined.

Considering the knee jerk liberal media sources you listed, you must mean the National Enquirer.

Your tagline is wrong. Try Gingrich/Perry or Gingrich/Palin. Not Newt. That is his first name and their last names! DOH! lol

They’re saying FL is one of the states hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, so that’s why Mitt is trying to slime Newt with trumped-up Freddie Mac accusations. Just like with the Bain layoff stuff, Newt needs to slime Mitt as a heartless Wall Street tycoon with his foreclosure comments, even if the millionaire wing of the Republican party recoils a bit.
