The truth shall set you free Renee. You can support Newt, despise Obama and still understand that Newt has flaws and one of his biggest flaws is his tendency to tilt at windmills like mandates enforced by penalties.
Oh, I’m aware he has flaws. I wanted Sarah Palin and now I’ve got to choose who is the least flawed that can beat Obama. It’s a hell of a choice to have to make when my candidate is sitting out.
Santorum was right, that on three of the hot-button issues of the Tea Party, Gingrich was with Romney on the wrong side.
Like TARP. Like the individual mandate.
Unfortunate that Iowa couldn’t count their votes so Santorum didn’t get credit for winning Iowa, and that freepers who could forgive Newt for Dede Scozafosa, cheating on two wives, sitting on a couch with Pelosi, and agreeing with John Kerry about the GOP and global warming, couldn’t forgive Santorum for supporting his fellow republican senator in a primary.
Did Gingrich endorse someone in that 2004 primary?
We probably have no choice but to support Gingrich now, but I’d love to keep Santorum in the race in case Gingrich implodes or screws up. It would be a sad day for conservatives if we chase Santorum out of the race to help Newt and then Newt screws up and we end up stuck with Romney because we chased all the other conservatives out of the race.
