Come on, Imp- not gonna happen.
FLASHBACK- JANUARY 31, 2012–
BACKGROUND: NEWT Lost FLA- but still leading nationally: Rick loses in NH, SC, FLA, and soon, nev- . Did he bow out with honor?
No, just the opposite. Instead, of competing with Newt in the arena of ideas, Rick went “romney”- he back-stabbed his mentor and fellow conservative. From FR:
***************
“Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign announced a new television ad that will begin airing Tuesday in Colorado and Nevada.
The ad attacks Newt Gingrich as being too liberal for the GOP nomination by arguing that he shares many policy positions with President Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “All three supported radical cap and trade legislation that would destroy American jobs and drive up energy costs. All three supported giving illegal aliens some form of amnesty. All three sported the government health mandates which take away our freedom and is the core of ObamaCare. And all three of these politician’s supported the Wall Street bailouts that was a slap in the face to the Tea Party,” the narrator says.
It goes on to refer to the trio as “cap and trade loving, bailout supporting, soft on immigration, big-government mandating politicians.” The commercial is a sharp indictment of Gingrich, with whom Santorum has split more conservative voters in early primary contests.

Rick set the rules on how one deals with fellow conservatives– now he has to play by them. You reap what you sow— Rick understands that.
Like Sarah said “oh boo-hoo. No way should anybody drop out.”
I am really surprised that there are so many FReepers who are supporting Newt vs. Rick Santorum.
This is the same Newt who sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi and declared that global warming is caused by manmade activities and then he was to come out with a book about his BIG, BOLD IDEAS concerning MAN CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING errrr “Climate Change”. (conveniently you cannot find that book being peddled by old Newt yet...Hmmm, I wonder why?)
Then we find out that he also supports the “individual mandate” or also known as ROMNEYCARE and Version II which we all affectionately call OBAMACARE. So let me get this straight, Newt is on the side of OBAMA and MITTENS, and yet “he is our man” ?????
Now Rick Santorum isn’t perfect, I’ll grant you that. No one is. But I’ll take someone who understands those two basic issues and stands on the side of freedom vs Government Tyranny!
Newt needs to drop out and endorse Rick yesterday. He is done, and all he will do by continuing on is to split the vote and allow Romney to waltz into the nomination. Those calling for a brokered convention are delusional.
What happened to you FRiends? Has FR gone insane?
Here we have the most Conservative Electable candidate possible in Rick and you guys are cheering on a Super-RINO?
No.
I will not support Rick. The only possible way I see to defeat Obama is if Newt wins. Mitt and Rick would only delay the inevitable.
It would be funny to watch Rick and Myth get slaughtered. Between the three Statists (rick, mitt and obama) the one honest enough to run in the Statist party will win.
Convention ....
Let me add my lack of support.
Go Newt.
No. This needs to go on. Sorry.
Both Santorum & Romney are weaklings. They won’t fight Obama tooth and nail, the way this election will have to be fought. You saw how McCain folded, like a wet hankie. We need someone who will fight to the last inch. Even then Gingritch might lose to “Deep Pockets” Obama. But Gingritch is the only one who will take it to the bitter end.
Noot has actually balanced the federal budget.
Uhm. No.
I don’t want Santorum - not one bit. He’s a fine man and all... but I don’t want him for my president now. I want a mean-ass fighter thank you.
Santo may not win a single state vs ozero. He has no chance.
Newt.
100% correct. Folks need to wake up.
Heh. That’s pretty funny. It’s not going to happen. Not all voters are feminists with desires for big revenues going to social services (Santorum’s voting record).
Why wast his time endorsing Rickey, when he could just go all the way and endorse Obama?
He’s pimp, whadya expect?!
Let Santorum bow out. Newt is heading for Tampa.
I agree.
I haven't read the replies yet, but I'm here to tell you to go to hell with your fracking idea.
You're a fracking IDIOT to even suggest that Newt step out of the race.
Rick Sanctamonious IS A BIG GOV'T republican and a PILE OF CRAP, who has not done a fraction of what Newt has done to push CONSERVATIVE POLICIES. And this pile of absolute crap ALWAYS has an excuse when he screws up instead of manning up and accepting responsibility for his actions.

Nope. Let santorum bow out
