If Newt had won in Florida, Republicans would not be “arguing that rules and laws should be changed after the fact” and the losers should get a share of the delegates. Republicans did not demand that debate moderators should allow applause, catcalls, etc. when such had been disallowed to level the playing field. Republicans never attacked capitalism before.

“I do not want to play by your rules when they do not favor ME, ME, ME,” said the Angry Muffin Top.

Republicans did not do these things, but Newt did. And they’re all out of the leftist playbook.

The articles I have read indicate that the head of the RNC in Florida brought up the issue of the proportional delegate allocation. Is it politically motivated? Probably. But it is an issue, not only for Newt, but for Santorum and Paul as well.

To my knowledge, there has never been any restraint on audience participation during the debates in the past. It was very enthusiastic during the South Carolina debates. The debate that incurred the “silence” command was one of the few on regular t.v. The moderator didn't want to look like a goof on national t.v., imho. The next Fla debate..the silence ban was lifted..and benefited Mitt..not Newt. “Leveling the playing field”? Why should that even enter into the equation.

I actually took the Bain Capital attack as an attack on the halo Mitt continually places above his head. The media, as often happens, distorted the intent.

GOOD. We need to take a few more tactics from the leftist playbook. Exactly how long did it take for the left to get the Komen foundation to back down from the pro-life people? We need that kind of clout. We need people to know we can get things done and turn things around as soon as we chose to. We need to make them think twice before they take us on in any way, shape or form. We need to scare the heck out of them.. We need a great grand bastard - and we have one... his name is Newton Leroy.

These are not days for timid souls looking for a lily pad...
