    It was Romney surrogates that went after Gingrich these last few days. Gingrich has the command of history, defends himself, is quick on his feet and direct to the point. Good chance Romney will end up looking like a wind up Ken doll if forced to defend the dirt.

    Should be interesting

    Oh I see, so when Romney’s campaign does a negative ad against Newt, he claims he doesn’t know a thing about it and then doubts it’s his ad. Uh huh.

        No it’s not. Paul is right on this foreign policy issue. You cannot influence people unless you enter a dialogue with them. You can still disagree with them – and that’s fine – but both you and I are going to have a much greater chance of ending up on the same page down the road if we interact with each other over long periods of time rather than stay enemies forever and a day. This is just basic common sense.

        • KenInMontana

          I don’t think Paul has a clue about the situation on the ground in Central or South America to be honest. I don’t believe that Santorum really knows the whole of the situation but, that said, he has a bit more of a hint than Paul.

            because cuban sanctions have worked soooo well for the past half-century. Now we’re trying the same with Iran… as if that will work any better. The only thing that will work with Iran is war or trade… and war is too expensive of an option for us right now (not to mention a disastrous long-term option).

            You mean like all the connections back through Mena?

            • KenInMontana

              Beyond Mena, however an awful lot of the accusations regarding Mena were sensationalized conjecture. Were the aircraft of traffickers used in ferrying materials to the Contras? Absolutely, as were some of their jungle landing strips in the region, after they were sanitized. I can say that there were more Northbound “loads” that never left those jungles (diesel fires are incredibly detrimental to base), than any amount that actually did leave successfully. You will also recall that stateside seizures were way up during that period. Do you really believe that was coincidence? I should add that a lot of firepower that was intended for the Marxists (from the USSR and China via Cuba) showed up on the battlefield in the hands of the Contras and other anti Marxist groups as well. Were there the occasional outbreaks of “blindeye”, I think it is safe to say yes, there likely were, money has that effect on some.

                You’re probably correct – and I’m sure all that would be filled in with the assumption of office.
                Bottom line for me–> Can we just get someone who is honest and someone we can trust to act on our behalf and keep their oath – please? I don’t care if it’s not Paul.

                • KenInMontana

                  As far as “filling in” ,it would not be a likely topic as it has been some 30 years or so. This was the type of “operations” often referred to as “brush fire wars”, “low intensity conflicts” or now a days generically as covert ops. Likely any files are heavily redacted and stored in some disused sub-basement at Langley. If they still exist at all. These type of operations were far more widespread, during the Cold War, than most people are aware of, casualties listed as “training accidents” (a well worn explanation) and as far as most in the halls of power are concerned, ancient history. But there are those of us out there that remember and do not care if the world remembers.

        No it’s not. Paul is right on this foreign policy issue. You cannot influence people unless you enter a dialogue with them.

        • K-Bob

          I rarely call people names. Sometimes as a joke. I use “Ronulan” a lot because it’s less offensive than most of the names people use for Ron Paul supporters.

          But no, it’s a home run. You can influence people all day long without ever talking to them, or even seeing them face to face. Paul’s naive notion of “opening a dialog” assumes none can happen under the current scheme, and worse, that no one has tried or is interested.

          He didn’t invent diplomacy. Nor does he fully grasp the underlying factors of it. He falls prey to post-modernist nonsense about feelings and dialog when the men he would tangle with are thinking in terms of intimidation, deception, power, and blood.

      Traditionally it has, but the industry is a lot more matured now… plus you’ve got to pump A LOT of money into it to get that technology out of it. We’re seeing more private sector interest in space now than we ever have before. I guarantee you that commercial space exploration will eventually profit far greater technologies than government exploration ever did.

        The change that we have to make is in getting the private sector up front and center. There will be tons of jobs available to our country with this program. It’s really a win-win situation. Right now, NASA is just a Muslim outreach program.

    I agree with Paul on the medical care question. Good grief, I am not that old (even if I feel like it) but when I was a kid, we went to the same doctor for EVERYTHING. I was an accident prone kid- I broke bones, spilt my head open, got hit by a car, among other things.. and not ONCE did I ever go to the hospital. My mom took me to our family doctor, who took the x rays himself, looked at them himself, stitched me up a multitude of times himself, he is the one who gave me medicine, shots, and crutches. My parents never had to worry about medical costs, because there was no insurance or government beaurocracy back then. Then came insurance, then came slip and fall lawyers, then came government. Get rid of all of that, pay as you go, and people could afford it again. Let the doctors practice their medicine that they have gone into massive amounts of medical school debt, and have to pay millions in malpractice insurance. I could go on and on.

    I am also very glad Santorum showed mittencare is obamacare.

          Their frustrations are of their own making. Anytime people fall for the “victimhood” con they get taken. The OWS “marks” are being taken for a ride by the Marxist in chief, who has been selling this phony, class warfare crap since he became a community organizer.

    My only quarrel with Romney’s business at Bain Capital or any other company is when they borrow from or drain employee pension funds. I do not believe they have the right to touch those for any reason – PARTICULARLY – for CEO bonuses or for investment company profits.

    I remember where I was driving when I heard about an Airline using employee pensions as capital in some deal or restructuring plan and thought it was a horrible crime… a betrayal of their employees.

    Likewise, if Reagan and other presidents and congress voted to use Social Security funds for other projects and expenses, that is also wrong.

          Sorry for the delay. Been away from ‘puter for a couple of days.

          It looks like Bain Capital bought Damon Corp. in 1989. Romney was on the board of directors of Damon sometime between the buyout in ’89 and a sale in 1993 to Corning, Inc. The criminal activity of Damon occurred between 1989 and 1993, which was discovered by Corning after they bought it, but Romney was never implicated in the matter. He did, however, make about 1/2 a million dollars on the deal.

          “On the one hand, he said he hadn’t known what was going on at Damon; on the other, he said he’d helped to put a stop to practices later found to be fraudulent — Michael Kranish and Scott Helman (in ‘The Real Romney’)

If there is enough water discovered, it could sustain life and be used for power in many different ways. It is not out of the realm of possibility, but neither was sending a man to the moon, as crazy as everyone thought at the time.

    When this whole process began, back when Pawlenty and Santorum were among the first to throw their hats in the ring, I gave Santorum no chance. I was hoping for a Palin primary run. Then I felt like I was stuck with Herman Cain, even though I didn’t want his tax plan, and he occasionally said things that were kind of odd. Then my hopes shifted to Perry, though I didn’t give him a real chance. Now I have to choose between Newt and Santorum, and Rick’s performance tonight makes that difficult, because he turned in a very good performance, overall.

    Sadly, I think his strong stance on immigration hurts him in Florida.

    For this coming Florida primary, it’s clearly between Newt and Romney.

    Newt hit Romney hard tonight, and also hit back against Romney’s hardest return punches. However I don’t think either one made a stronger case for their candidacy. Romney’s strongest “attack” was ill-timed, though, and seemed petulant because of that bad timing. It didn’t fit into the flow of things properly, so he ended up sounding like an afterthought. Plus he accused Santorum of “being angry,” which was poorly framed, since Santorum sounded emphatic, not angry.

    I think Santorum helped himself to stay above 11%. Paul might pull some votes from all three, though in Florida.

    It’s still a dead heat between Newt and Romney.

    It is important to keep in mind that Florida is a closed primary, winner-takes-all 50 delegate state. There are only two people with a realistic chance to win those 50 delegates, Newt and Romney. I believe Santorum would need a win to get back the momentum he partially had after Iowa (should have had more but was slighted by the media) but it just isn’t in the cards. He will likely suspend his campaign on Wednesday, possibly even before the primary if he sees the writing on the wall. Ron Paul has a completely different longer term strategy and strong organization, so whether he gets 9% or 12% or even more in Florida is of little consequence to him.

    Even though Santorum was right about the petty personal attacks going on between Romney and Gingrich all week long, I think once he said that, it took the wind out of Newt’s sails. How could he possibly defend himself effectively after that? If he did, then he’d be showing his “pettiness” and when he didn’t, then he fell flat. It was a no win situation for Newt, which is probably what Santorum wanted.

      Didn’t you all notice that with all the concerted attacks coming from all sides, Newt managed to look as victim instead of a deranged, uncontrollable vengeful man as he is frequently depicted by his detractors? He might have lost a debate today, but having done that, he might have managed to win a second look from his skeptics. He did not lose the debate to Mitt, he lose it to Rick, who by the way, managed to destroy Romney’s credibility. I will be curious to know how the Romney operatives and the Republican establishment elites destroy Santorum’s credibility in the coming days to neutralize the effect of his charges against Romney.

      And probably why the rest of the debate went bad for Newt.

      He got put between a rock and a hard place where there are no good choices.

  • cabensg

    Pretty damn shrewd of that #$@%@#% Blitzer. Go to Romney or Santorum first. Then Gingrich has to change how he says his answer because Romney and Santorum are mouthing what Gingrich said originally either in a previous debate or speech. It’s to bad they cant’ charge them with plagiarism in a speech. It worked beautifully by making Newt not look nearly as effective. If I’d know this was going to happen I’d have written it down.

      It’s true — I can’t remember one question that went to Newt first, or if there were any, there were very few in comparison to the others.

        I think the first one did and it was a “why are you so horrible to Romney” question. Or else it was “Romney said thus and such. What do you have to say for yourself? And by the way, there is no right answer” question.

    Tonights final Florida debate was definitely much better than the first Florida debate.(it was a snoozer) It is sickening to see how much the Republican establishment is willing to sink lower in effort to get their man in to the top spot. As for Mitten’s performance, I think he was more agreesive but tonight revealed alot about why Mitt Romney should NOT be President.

    First, he argued he did not have smear ads out on Newt and when confronted with the truth he said ”it was not me!”; ”it was my staff.” Second, when asked about his finances and Newt hit him on his ownage of Freddie and Fannie stock he said ”it was not me!”; ”it was my accountant.” Third, when he was dinged on him having foreign bank accounts in effort to avoid taxes he again said ”it was his financial managers” and ”not him.” …..Notice a pattern??? This is the way the man will govern and it is no better than Obama!

    He then goes on to say he earned all his income….Since you have all this in a blind trust how can that be Mittens??? When it comes to wrong things about Mittens it is his staff or accountants or financial managers but when it comes to earning moneis…he did it.

    Also, he smeared Newt pretty bad tonight and I was really shocked at how Newt missed alot of opportunities to strike back at the merchant of Smear. Instead it was Rick Santorum who really stuck it to RINO ROmney and left him excuseless finally admiting he is for government run healthcare.

    Here is where the establishment sickens me….THEY ARE SUPPORTING THIS GUY even though he stands for everything the GOP should be against.

    While Newt is obviously had an off week I think his lack of defense and weak counter attack on RINO Romney may not be enough to prevent him from taking the state of Florida because Mittens and his smear merchants are having a field day smearing and producing false truths and lies in their effort to win one for the FLIPPER.

    Santorum on the other hand….HE ROCKED the house tonight….New Suit, Newt Tie, Direct attacks on Romney and all Romney could do was sputter…..

    In my opinion Rick Santorum won tonight but because this splits the Conservative vote that points to a Romney win.

    Too bad because the Conservatives are much better than the RINO.

      Your analysis is quite good, but there is something missing. By having Rick Santorum confronting Romney, no one can blame that it is just “dangerous” Newt wanting to score against a hated rival- thus the health care issue against Romney will gain more credibility and more teeth in the coming days. Had that attack came from Newt, Romney and his supporters can just pooh paahed it as a political attack from a sour puss and a sore loser. You might think Newt lose that debate, but actually Romney has just been successfully defanged by Rick Santorum.

      • http://twitter.com/113KriEger 13Krieger

        I agree that Rick Santorum’s attack does add credibility to the fact that Romney is a lying two faced progressive. But the fact that the Conservative cause is still split will not help either Conservative candidate and by default Romney will most likey pick up the state.

        It is just sad because the Conservative candidates are sooo much better than RINO Romney. Rick Santorum was my primary choice but with Newt’s performance in South Carolina it just proved he is the one that can win against Obama in the general.

        I agree. Even though this was not Newts best performance, Rick did an excellent job with Romney. Will it cause a surge for him, might be but probably those voters might go with Newt since he is the highest not Romney out there. I think that comment Romney made to Rick about it is nothing to get angry about might hurt him. If Romney wins over Newt in FL by less than 10% it shows that his coronation as the nominee might be more difficult to gain.

    I would use stronger words,but Romney is a snake. You all saw how when Gingrich tried to take the high road he stiffed him with the help of the debate moderator .

    All I will say is, enjoy it while it lasts Romney,because once you are annointed, the media who are pals with you now, will take those kid gloves off and you will be stuttering all over the place in the debates when Obama takes you apart .You are wooden and you are robotic, and have no convincing core beliefs or vision,Obama you see for all his disgraces has a vision,even if it is about turning the US into an eastern european country. You will be exposed .

    You are made for him and his leftist friends to paint as ‘the one percent’.And there won’t be a gingrich to copy or paint in a negative way.Your media friends won’t allow it. You see once you are annointed ,all these other ‘friends’ like coulter, drudge the fox team, no one will listen to them, because the conservatives if they don’t feel stiffed now will, the ron paul supporters will probably vote obama or not bother. Your ‘friends’ probably want an obama victory,because it is how they sell books and ratings.

    No it wasn’t gingrich’s best showing, he needs to always win the debates because of what is going on in the media concerning romney. It isn’t fair,but thats the case. It’s the best exposure he gets. Santorum did very well, and landed a good blow on romney,but it will make no difference as it will either be ignored or shown to be just a flesh wound. I liked Ron paul as well and he had some good points to make,but again both of them are just a sideshow now for the media and the republican establishment who decided who it was to be long ago. Rick is useful to take votes away from gingrich, and paul is a good attack dog. Neither are threats to romney so they are being allowed to stay for now. But believe me if either were,they would be in the crosshairs as well and stiffed.

    Newt frightens them because they can’t seem to do unto him like they did to another guy I thought got a bum hand and was stiffed by the dirty tricks, Herman Cain.

            I used to love Fox News until they took the “left hand turn” a few months ago. At the time Murdock was under fire in the UK, and I really thought he was threatened behind the scenes here by the FCC that if he didn’t change his programming and add more liberal contributors they might go after his license. So far that seems to have happened. “Turn Left or we will take you off the air”. Note to Fox, Turn left and your viewers will no longer watch.

            I used to watch Glenn everyday when he was on Fox, and even signed up for GBTV, but frankly I was terribly disappointed and cancelled my membership after a few months. (I think he’s gotten a little too big for his britches, and I’m not talking weight.)

          I agree. I meant to comment last night, but TRS went 4 paws up for me and I had to shut it down (Looks like it’s ok this morning). I thought that Santorum won the debate, hands down, Newt came in a slow 2nd, with Paul and Mitt pretty much tied.

          Paul had some great one-liners, but that don’t get the nomination. Mitt did a good job attacking Newt, but the sniping back and forth between the two got tiresome and having Rick say it was refreshing. He was indeed the adult in the room.

          I don’t watch Greta much anymore. Other than her voice and neverending sentences, she seems to like to have guests such as Trump, McCain, Lindsey Graham, Geraldo, etc. Seems like the political Nancy Grace show to me. And I really don’t know what crystal ball Morris is looking into, but I think it needs flushing. It’s full.

          • Linky1

            I think all four candidates have debate fatigue and it showed last night. Romney was off his game. Wolf Blitzkreig was bound and bent to press Gingrich into a “gotcha” moment but he didn’t rise to the bait. No, it wasn’t his best performance – Santorum definitely had a good night but when you have CNN hosting, it’s more baiting than substance.

            Looking at all of the debate post mortems, it’s plain to see that the media, the Dems, the Republicans are in an all-out war against Gingrich-Drudge is trashing him, FOX is trashing him, he is getting it from all sides. Not enough attacks on Obama – dissing each other is taking away from the real goal-to defeat Obama.

            Polls show Romney & Gingrich in a dead heat in Florida. They’re running scared because Romney was to have the nomination sewn up by now.

            Just for the record-I’m not a Gingrich supporter, just someone who follows the debates closely.

              Very good analysis. I would like to see Newt go head to head with the 0, but I’m ready to get down to one candidate, so that we can go full bore on the 0. There is sooo much material to work with there.

    Santorum did very well tonight.

    Since my favored candidate is no longer in the race, I viewed the debate somewhat dispassionately. Romney was strong and probably helped himself. Gingrich’s best moment was when he spoke about the war on the Judeo-Christian religion perpetrated by the secularists. He received an enormous response from the audience.

    I think this could be a long primary. So far none of the states are winner take all. The delegates will be split and it may be very difficult for any candidate to get the necessary majority to win. It isn’t entirely out of the realm of possiblity that another candidate might enter the race. There has also been talk of a brokered convention. But, if Romney takes Fl. he will be ahead in the delegate count and could pull ahead in the race. There is a lot of concern about whether either of those two could beat Obama. Even though Santorum has really improved in the debates and did a great job this evening the odds against him are great.It takes a lot of money and organization to run for the presidency. He didn’t run any ads in Fl. and his only exposure was the televised debate.

    We can’t know how this will come out but there is a real worry about whether we are going to get 4 more years of Obama. I, for one, am concerned about the issue of electability.

  • Nicholas Crowder

    Newt really let me down tonight. He was weak when talking about the negative ads, and his big space race ideas will turn away voters who are concerned that the candidate won’t have priority 1 issues in mind when they become President. The idea of establishing a lunar base in 8 years when we are 15 trillion dollars in debt and climbing is absurd.

    • K-Bob

      Depends on what people mean by “base.” It’s all old technology. Several wealthy adventurers want to take over the space entry vehicle game, and the moon can be mined, so prospectors want to find ores.

      A “base” doesn’t have to be much more than a small outpost for starters. Sponsorship could pay for a huge chunk of the effort.

      But mostly it’s a sop to space coast Florida voters who are out of work thanks to Obama turning NASA into a Muslim outreach program.

      • Nicholas Crowder

        I can’t imagine who would want to invest in a risky program like that in this economy. I like Newt, but this is an example of politicians making promises they can’t keep.

        • K-Bob

          It’s not as risky to the economy as a stimulus program. It would create jobs (Aerospace and Defense). And yeah, it’s something he probably can’t accomplish in 8 years, but that’s not going to hurt the economy at all.

          In fact, the whole “moon” era of space exploration was a boon to the economy, and paid huge dividends in defense. It doesn’t have to be run like an entitlement program. It can be run more like the way they run air travel and shipping.

          • Nicholas Crowder

            I’m not disagreeing at all about the importance of the space program and its future restoration. What I’m saying is that talking about building some sort of moon base, station, whatever in EIGHT years TURNS away voters who will then label Newt as an irrational man with irrational ideas.

              • Nicholas Crowder

                We’re already seeing that in some of the polls now where Romney is ahead by 7 or so points. At this rate Romney will be nominated unless the splintered conservative vote can be consolidated. After the weeks of Romney ads and Santorum’s impressive showing tonight, I think the gap will only widen as some of Newt’s support will convert/return to Santorum, and now Romney will probably win Florida.

    For some reason I can’t reply, so this is to you rosie, I agree I am sick of it all. I think Newt has been battered all day long with this all out assault on him, and he is human and he wasn’t able to muster up a standing o, which is now what we expect(unfairly) What he needs is a real endorsement from Sarah to get away from this debate. I think Romney wasn’t that good either, but for all the reasons we conservatives now know, he was given a pass. Santorum did well until the end, and that probably won’t be held against him. He will take votes from Newt not Romney. I still think, going by the huge crowds that Newt has been getting, he still has a chance. Romney should not be rewarded for being a snake!

      Yep, and don’t you just love how the debates are not so important in the scheme of things when Newt does well, but when Romney has a perceived good night, all of sudden the debate is a game changer and it’s suddenly VERY important in the bigger picture? It’s just sickening.

      I hope you are right about the huge crowds too, but the draw to him was his gumption, and tonight he was given little chance to show it. It seemed he was damned if he did, and he was certainly damned that he didn’t.

        Unfortunate truth: Money wins elections more than message does. No matter where you stand, if an opponent has more money than you, you are an underdog. Newt must excel and surpass the other candidates in these debates every time if he is to compete with Romney’s financial supremacy.

I never thought it possible but the panic of the Republican Establishment elites grows new heights and have a filthy feel in its urgency.

      The consolation is that, Rick Santorum managed to shed a much needed light on statewide Mandated Romneycare. Romney managed to look combative today but tomorrow once people think over the penalty facing Massachusetts residents failing to have health insurance will surely sink in. Even I am surprised to learn about the fine or penalty – it looked like a police state. I wonder how Romney could face the nation and say without blinking that Obamacare is not Romneycare.

        It’s an amazing skill he’s developed over time in being literally all things to all people, regardless of the contradiction. How he lives in his own cognitive dissonance is a complete mystery. I find it frightening.

    Romney has been defending it by saying that he thinks it’s a State issue but on a Federal level, it is unacceptable. So, in other words, in his opinion, it’s OK for the government to mandate healthcare and fine you if you don’t buy it if it’s STATE government, but not OK if it’s the Federal Government. And of course, that is NOT OK, which was Santorum’s point. You either believe in government-run healthcare or you don’t, and obviously, Romney defends it, so he must believe in it.

    This was supposed to be in reply to Ariadnea but I’m having trouble on this site tonight too, even from different browsers.

      Rick did have that comment about bringing the ladder down so people can climb on? Down from where Rick? I think it was a Freudian slip.

      That is just plain double standard. State or Federal follows the same constitution, don’t they?

    In reply to MrMicawber, (I can’t reply by the normal standard for some reason) Santorum did well, he really took it to Romney. Newt was on the defense much of the evening, Romney was a snake, and Ron Paul had a few great one-liners. So by the liberal and establishment standards, Mitt of course won, and now will win Florida. Or so they think. Newt may still have an ace in the hole..Sarah Palin, I think after the way the establishment crucified Newt today and the lackluster debate, she may come out and offically endorse him and stump for him. I can only pray that comes to fruition.

      I agree. I also think an un-told story which I’m sure many will jump on me is Marco Rubio.

      I am beginning to question his status after defending Romney as “Conservative” . Sorry, but to me it says Rubio is in the bag for Romney and that’s a big problem.

      Of course and his intitial sponsorship of SOPPA.

        Rubio is a bit depressing for me – he seemed so intensely and independently conservative; what a let down. What is it with these people – don’t they have a soul, or at least some principles. Sorry, I’m completely f-ing drunk. lol

    In reply to M_J_S, no one will jump on you about Rubio. I said the exact same thing yesterday about Rubio…he should not be put on a pedestal. We have a problem as conservatives, when we put all of our hopes on one or two guys and then they let us down and we are bitter. Rubio has a lot to learn and I have said I look forward to what he contributes, but I don’t expect the moon from him or any others in politics.

    Fooey. Now I can’t tell if Florida is winner-take-all or not. They do lose delegates for moving up their primary. Check out this article about the status of the primary:

    Besides all the attacks on Newt by the establishments ,the Lib media, Fox,Beck, all the boys (career politicians & left ) Newt slapped around in the nineties and get along with, no ? (sarcs ) , it all come down to this for myself, whom shall I ever trust to go to war with, whom among these fellas won’t betray me at the heat of battle for his own safety ( for lack of better word) whom among them would get to be so technical and move like a jealous evangelist and can’t be a protector to catch my back, some of the few question inside my tiny brain that needs answer to help and determine my liberty,my pursuit of happiness.my constitutional right.etc
    What Newt did in the 80ies stood by Reagan and conservative belief.In the 90ies as speaker and able to accomplished much compare to bohner and pelosi. Since there’s no Palin, Newt and West

    Good job. You are right. I was paraphrasing Gingrich and he was refering to the war on religion and in context I should have summed it up as Judeo-Christian precepts. I wasn’t quoting verbatim.

    It’s late and I didn’t check what I had written.

    I want to be open-minded when it comes to all the candidates. I critic many of them, hoping for each of them to improve and in turn give people better choices. I was also very critical of Newt and his past, not knowing that many I have read and heard from the past are colored by media bias (It is surprising that media bias stretched way that far in the past). Having said that, I put that forward so people who knows the truth could clarify some of those issues.

    What bothers me most today is that many people in the Republican establishments or RNC administration dump many attacks against one candidate at once, which pale in comparison what the Democratic Party and its operatives have thrown at one candidate in one day. The overwhelming attacks looked like a shark bloody feeding frenzy. It is a shame that the Republican Party Establishment or Administration is a party to a character assassination of any eligible member candidate in a contest that they themselves helped sponsor and promote. Showing favoritism should have been avoided at all cost by RNC administrators, to encourage future participation of many good people. It will not only encourage but also show inclusiveness and fairness, when they leave the business of choosing among the electorates.

    I agree Sarah Palin may be Newt’s only hope to save Florida. Newt’s not Superman here, he needs help and now. I’m dissappointed in Rush, he seems afraid to offend all those establishment guys, why he can’t endorese Newt is beyond me. Marco Rubio has already been assimiliated by the Senate moderstae sleaze. I’ve never seen such a back stabbing, plotting, under handed dirty blitz attack by the Republican side, they are indeed actling like sharks. John McCain, Bob Dole and Tom the exterimnator Delay all lined up for Willard, the worst element of the GOP back Romney and people actually support that?
    After this onslaught Newt will need a miracle, maybe only Palin can deliver that now. Just like Iowa, Newt might get knee-capped in Florida. I despise Romney now. Just 5 weeks ago I didn’t, but oh boy do I despise him now. I didn’t know Republicans operated this way, which is to say as low and dirty as anything I ever heard from Democrats.

    Did anyone notice that Romney again referred to Fidel Castro as being sent to another planet?

    Different subject. I am attaching a link that gives the blow by blow of the Georgia court case arguing that Maobama is ineligible to be president. This is very interesting and the timing, what with Fox doing a documentary tell all on him Sunday night may be just what we birthers have been arguing all along. Apparently, trust but verify only means something in the south anymore.

      Thanks for the link. The last line of that article is most interesting. It says the 0 and the DNC has a lot of explaining to do. That is the whole problem with this. The 0 doesn’t feel that he needs to explain anything, or even show up when the courts demand that he does.

      We need to push this as much as possible.

        I sent emails to both Scoop and to Bill O’Reilly with the links. WE’ll see who has the balls to actually report a true political story on par with watergate without spin. If, as the link states, it does go to a federal grand jury, it might make it to the supremes and since Maobama is surrounded by LEO’s, it won’t take long to arrest him and drag his indonesian self into court.

          Don’t expect anything from O’Reilly. FOX has such a liberal spin these days, they have “Jumped the Shark” with a little help from the “Spooky Dude.” http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/44164

          Just getting his lawyer in court with the data would suffice for me. They have found one reason after another to redirect the courts and get things dismissed before they even start.

          One case in California was most interesting, where they were told they had to wait until after inauguration to file, and then after inauguration they were told it was too late. Hmmm.

      This should be all over the news but it isn’t. I have been following this case closely through many Facebook pages and it seems that there are more states rising to the challenge.

      DO you have any more info on the FOX documentary – i.e. seen it advertised on FOX – or is it part of this hoax that has been perpetrated? I saw info that this documentary was to run last week but it didn’t. I did however, find this. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/foxnews.asp

        I haven’t been able to verify yet but I will cut and paste the email I received about this yesterday. It is as follows:

        VERY IMPORTANT–SUNDAY NIGHT

        This Coming Sunday– Set Your DVR for the Fox News channel at 9:00 PM
        eastern.

        Maybe this is why the White House has been discounting FOX. Sounds like this
        could be history in the making – someone may go down – either Obama or Fox
        News. It may be that Fox has been holding this information back due to the
        sensitivity of it and out of courtesy. But, Obama has taken on Fox and it
        appears they are ready to spill the ugly beans of truth about the background
        of this individual who has had an extremely radical past. This Sunday, Fox
        News is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama, Sunday
        night at 9P.M. Eastern. The report will go back to Obama’s earlier days,
        showing even then his close ties to radical Marxist professors, friends,
        spiritual advisers, etc. It will also reveal details about his ties to Rev.
        Wright for 20+ years, i.e., how he was participating with this man, and not
        for the reasons he stated. The report has uncovered more of Obama’s radical
        past and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out
        there. It will be a segment to remember. Mark your calendar and pass this
        on to everyone you know:

        Sunday night, 8 PM CT; 9 PM ET. Democrat or Republican, this report will
        open your eyes to how YOUR country is being sold down the road to
        Totalitarian Socialism.

        If you care about the direction of our country, pass this notice on to
        everyone you know.

          It’s a hoax, Mike. I received the same email LAST week. FYI-I watch FOX regularly, nothing has been advertised at all. When I tried them last week after my email, at the time prescribed, nothing.

            That is what I figured when I was unable to confirm anything last night at home. Although, if one were to split hairs, it does say that it isn’t a special show but, rather a segment, meaning it could be included in another show. Who knows.

            I know the Georgia Court case is real. And I know this too. 16 more scientists are calling this global warming stuff a fraud too.

        If you read the related stories at the bottom of that related link you’ll find that NH, Illinois and Masswachusettes are moving to remove Maobama from their ballots, too. And the DNC officer who filed the altered documents for Maobama’s run was none other than Nancy Pelosi.

        • Linky1

          As I said, Mike, the dominoes are falling the way they should be. What will be interesting as well is to see what happens with the alleged 500 fake signatures that got Obama on the Indiana ballot in ’08. People are becoming empowered to stand up and speak out through the courts and the more Obama and his henchmen shy away from it, the more people will push back.

      There are two things we can glean from this. One, if found guilty, he’s gone (Dems may want this, however, so that Hillary can run).

      Two, if thrown out, like all the other cases, he stays. BUT, that also means that Rubio, who’s parents also were not US citizens when he was born, will be able to run for President in the future.

        The democratic party will just be as guilty as they were complicit in covering this up. Notice how they refuse to vet and even denounce those people who ask for Obama’s records?
