The establishment is fighting back, alright.

This has not received a lot of national attention, but the Republican legislature in Florida is about to push through a plan which puts Allen West at serious risk, and the person leading the effort is one of Mitt Romney’s spokemen. As reported by The Shark Tank:

Newt, Palin, Cain, West, and possibly Paul could form a nice core for a new party. If that many influential people banded together others would follow. Then Romney and the rest of the socialism supporting scum could finish what remains of the GOP (what’s left now certainly doesn’t live up to the “Grand” moniker)

Might as well. We’re fighting them now — it’s not just as easily apparent to the untrained eye.

Corrine Brown though still has her seat being gerrymandered into continued existance. So, the GOP majority legislature is definitely anti West for purely political reasons within the party so much so they would rather have a dem take his seat then he, a conservative republican, remain in DC.

Well, if this stands, it is time for a third party and I don’t care if the GOP ever wins another election anywhere...we can do our own gerrymandering. Please no one tell me this is bad because the dems will win. The difference between the “moderate” GOP and the rabid dems is a distinction without a difference. Let them spend the country into extinction, the real spirit of America will rise from the ashes. This government has become nothing envisioned by the founders. Time for a redo in the US and if it cannot be done constitutionally, let it be done by the bankruptcy referees.

I agree with Santorum, the Declaration of Independence has the values of America, the Constitution is a plan to protect them.

Allen West needs to open for Newt at a rally in Florida, and condemn the Rombot by name. Thanks w4women.

While she may be the best looking Attorney General, her discussion of this issue reinforces the blond “air-head” image !!! Goodness gracious she had difficulty making any sense as to who Obamacare is bad and unconstitutional, but RomneyCare is different !!

If he doesn’t have a district to run in, he can run for President.

A similar thing happened to Newt back in the early 80s. He was 6th District congressman, when the 6th District was in Middle Georgia. The dims who were in control of the Georgia legislature then, redistricted and did away with Newt's district, but created a conservative district in the North Atlanta suburbs and renamed it the 6th District. Newt moved up from Middle Georgia to the "New 6th", won and you know the rest.

I can’t figure out how Romney obtained all this power in our party. He’s an unimpressive one term governor from a liberal state. Dick Morris keeps mentioning how Romney set the February primary schedule to his favor, and now we see how he is impacting florida congressional districts. Where I’d his power and influence come from?

I can’t either. People sell their soul to this guy. He’s got congressrats going to Newt’s rallies and talking Newt down. Who does that for someone?

Romney is extremely rich and has a lot of private sector influence. He also has no hardcore conservative beliefs that would keep him from being a complete big-government gop stooge. He believes in money and power and that’s it.

McLaughlin just said Newt got 15 million from Adelson! I’d read that he hasn’t (yet) received the SECOND $5 million, much less a third $5 million.

Which is true???

Indeed, we are.

West and Palin need to join forces with Newt to beat Romney and win the White House in 2012. I think the more conservative powerhouses that Newt can bring into his campaign, the better our chances to win in 2012 and save our country. I’d love to see West and Palin make time to drop in and stump with Newt. Newt all the way to the White House in 2012!

Yesterday I heard someone say (I think Newt) that we need to run a conservative against Bill Nelson. Allen West v Bill Nelson?
