"I think Mitt Romney is clearly the frontrunner. I think he will probably get 1,144 but I think he has to earn it."

*************

Well, doesn't that ruin the day.

Still- I'm in, til Newt's out.

“Paul Ryan is one of the rising stars in the Republican Party.”

Well that explains it. I am sure he was made aware that the Republican Party expected certain things of their rising stars.

*** “I have no doubt that once he gets 1,144 delegates we will all unify and support him,” Gingrich added. ***

Son of a *$#!&

Now Newt is a RINO! The list is getting long.

Coulter
Limbaugh
Rubio
Demint
Ryan

It’s going to be a long 4 years during Obama’s 2nd term.

Looks as if Newt is in the new administration. So, I guess better that than nothing.

Gawd, to think these slime ball establishment bastards have managed to pull off another theft.

I puke when I see the present man child president on yapping his lying mouth in front of the cameras. I will gag and wretch when Romney gets in front doing the exact same thing.

So, the only thing to do is load the administration up with insiders to do mischief.

How very, very sad for what’s left of the Republican Party.

We’ll have another Dole/Bush/McLame candidate who is:

Pro-Abortion
Pro-High Taxes
Pro-Homosexual Lifestyle
Pro-Mandatory Health Care shoved down our throats.
Pro-Appeasement at all liberal shenanigans

It’s sad that people like Newt, Palin, Bachmann (my favorite), Bolton, and Santorum are not anywhere in the race and, therefore, we’re stuck . . . again . . . with a certified liberal. I am so fed up!

The liberals must be laughing like hell at us . . . the perfect chance to get this illegal alien out of our White House, and we have a DO-NOTHING-CONGRESS and a highly liberal, willing-to-tell-you-anything democrat at the head of our ticket.

I guess Romney Inc. finally met Newt’s asking price. Pathetic.

Newt may not be perfect, but then nobody is. However Newt is certainly the smartest, most fiscal & defense conservative of all who ran in 2012.

Well how about that. Newt meets secretly with ROmney. Adelson (Newt’s main source of funding) indicates he’ll support Romney. And now, Newt is playing nice with Romney. mmmm mmm mmmm

Why didn’t he drop out for Santorum?

Newt is not saying anything different than he ever has. He would support Romney over Obama if push comes to shove. He feels with Ryan endorsing Romney before Wisconsin, it helps Romney over Santorum and Rubio also is a huge influence. But Newt will continue as he has always said. The establishment is circling the wagons and trying to shut things down quickly. Newt still plans to go to the convention.

I’m in with Vin.

Make the bastuhd earn it and then I still won’t support him.

Doesn’t matter. The sycophantic California GOP does and they don’t need me anyway.

Eff em...

The probabilities are that Romney will get the nomination. If by some miracle he then wins the election, those supposed conservatives who endorsed him must be held responsible for keeping him on the reservation. Rubio, Ryan, et. al., will own it when Romney does his inevitable lurch to the left.

To be fair, if Gingrich hadn’t called Ryan’s budget ‘right-wing social engineering’, perhaps he might have had a shot at an endorsement.

To those suggesting that Newt is selling out- I genuinely don’t believe that’s true. If that were the case, the smartest thing to do would be to withdraw and endorse Romney- and that would end the race.

Newt’s only hope is to be the consensus candidate at the convention. One can’t be a “consensus” candidate by tearing down Rick and Romney.

With the left/right media and establishments now in full court press for Romney (for their own selfish reasons), Newt is trying to get to the convention and remain viable by flying under the radar.

Ryan and Rubio are the hope for the revival of free market economics.

Newt has some of the best policies, but Romney is the supply-side candidate and the vanguard of Reaganomics.

This is not news, but realitly politics.

Politics is the only track this competition runs on, in the absence of more Novembers, like the results we had last year in the mid-terms.

Without more Tea Party mid-term wins, what can be expected of Newt?

We are not going to get any short cuts. We can not escape building a movement any more than the Marxists could escape building theirs. They just started earlier, while we were at the beach with our feet kicked up.

I say it starts with our plans for primary night. Will we give a large enough damn to show up at our precinct meetings and become delegates, or not?

Whining is no longer going to cut it, patriots, and its time to start looking around locally for leaders in our own communities who are articulate and persuasive enough to get a strategy in place, increase our numbers and our morale and rebuild the schools, churches and institutions that matter.

Rush L just said that rumors are floating that Gingrich wants to be SoS if Romney gets elected.
