Newt is trying to let people know if we elect liberal Romney; expect to have a risk of implementing an agenda towards conservatism. If we don’t have control of the house/senate, Romney will do whatever they want with him. He was very easily swayed in Massachusetts. I think the GOP-e figures, if they lose enough conservatives voters; the liberals who are worried about Obama, will vote for Mitt. If they could get rid of us (especially the soc-cons), they would.
Mitt will not have a platform for change- we will all be waiting to see what he does.
Newt admitted the insiders are begging for him to leave. Why should he? Anything could happen-think about it-If I were him, I would stay until the end. Newt is smart and knows once he leaves, the subject of conservatism is gone. I am sure he cannot stand that Romney may be the nominee (like a lot of us) and hopefully his contested convention idea from all along, can give us a another candidate.
We don’t have to accept Romney. If the delegates cannot be bought off, we can reject him and ask for another person. Too bad, Santos is getting the 2nd tier role-he will be creamed in the general. If Newt were in 2nd, we’d have a real fight on ideas. Time to vet Mitt so we know what we are taking into the general. Being such a jerk with his negative ads, will make certain a lot of voters will never vote for him. Romney is a disaster and we are on a suicide mission. The conservative issues will be set back for years since Romney would move to the center. He is talking tough like Bush did to get votes. It could be too late since most patriots are keeping quiet. I’m with Newt all of the way. I would rather stand with my convictions vs. making excuses to accept Romney (who is a fraud)
There goes another strange Newtiac meme - the urge to "vet" everyone over and over again.
No matter how hard you try neither Mitt nor Santorum is going to turn out to have three ex-wives, one of whom he called on the phone for a divorce after cheating on her with another woman for years.
