LOL. I didn’t think it was so bad. Actually, I got alot more info than from that bread and circus last Thursday featuring Newt running around the stage with John King’s bloody, severed head in the clutches of his teeth, thumping his chest while the crowd screamed for more news people to be fed to the lions…..how long can that last? Everyone is addicted to the adreneline rushes of last week. Not me, slow and steady……Santorum was superb. I’m tiring of Newt’s glib, obscure factoid references about the 70′s & 80′s, that would secure him a trival pursuit or jeopardy championship, Mitt’s hand in the pocket, yacht catalogue poses, and Ron Paul’s Mr. Magoo impersonation- they are all becoming like cartoon characters to me. lol, I guess this is how it goes. I pick Rick!! But mostly, I want Obama GONE, his rotten marxism completey repealed and a reasonable resoration of sanity to be acheived. That will be a good start!

Regarding the 70′s and 80′s- you should have been there. The country was rotting under the stench of Watergate and the VN war which dragged on and on. Conservatism had just been rejected by the youth who were moving into the work force. Then Jimmy Carter became president and, for a few months, we all thought things would go back to normal, the way they were when Kennedy was in office and we were very young.
Things did not improve and the foul mood in this country, the “something is definitely wrong with this system of government” feeling just got worse. The division among the people of this country was as strongly felt as today but it did not have a racial element.
Reagan was elected in 1980 and nobody gave him a chance. I mean, nobody who wasn’t in congress or on TV.
Then something so minor, so insignificant in the scale of history, happened in 84. The underdog USA hockey team not expected to do anything in the Olympics, beat the Russians. It was like a miracle occurred when nobody expected it. I’m not kidding, You could feel a wave on patriotism sweep over the land like an earthquake. Overnight the chant “USA USA USA” was heard everywhere. Flags were everywhere, people were smiling, talking to each other. I was light walking out of a disco and finding that the sun had come up after ten years of dancing in the dark
The economy began to improve suddenly and dramatically in 1986 and so did the mood and the pride of this country. The late 80′s and the 90 were the most stupendous boom age I could ever imagine and I am glad I got to live through those years.
But Newt was there in the early 80′s and he was a believer. Newt was right in the middle of thing in the 90′s and as an average American, it was pretty hard to like him but impossible to find fault with his results and his values.
Newt speaks a lot about what happened in those distant times and I’d give a left nut to have ‘em back.

I’ve wondered how much my perception of Newt is colored by the unremitting bad press he received during that era. I also lived through those times but I was not as informed as I am now and didn’t recognize the media bias or the radicalism in the Democratic party (especially).

As Viet Nam vet, I was still pretty conflicted about what the Republicans had done abandoning the troops in the filed and the men who died there believing in their country. There was a lot of skepticim in the younger working groups about “republicans” in general. Thinking about it now, it was very similar. There were those of us had had no doubt at all about the principles of this country, but little understanding about how to keep those ideas alive. We did not understand how critical religion was in understanding the basic principles nor had we any appreciation of history before WW2.
But we had seen the economy turn around and believed that it would never end. We had seen the Russians crawl and scurry away like rats when the bulldozers gobbled up the bricks in the Berlin wall. These were people who been march from school rooms to learn to lay on the side of the football stadium during a nuclear blast. These were people who’d never seen a news cast that didn’t lead with some new atrocity perpetrated by the communists and that continues our entire lives.- By 1992, we seen the good life, daylight, and we were living it and it was good.
Gingrich never came across as sincere, but we were a much tougher and more confident audience in 1996. We just assumed, that, like the communist empire had fallen, the Democrats were headed to the waste bin of history too.
We were wrong.

Excellent comment: heartfelt and true. I especially liked your bit about the importance of religion.
- Anonymous
One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I did nothing to inform myself even when my gut was telling me something was wrong – about 30 years ago. My husband was a Viet Nam vet and he felt that the government had betrayed them – his words were that the troops were out on a limb and the government was down below with a chain saw.
It wasn’t until I learned of the UN interference in every conflict we have been involved with since WWII that I began to understand.
And I agree with Mary O – and yourself – about the importance of religion in our country’s founding. I think it was Adams or Madison that said our form of government was suitable for only a moral and religious society. - http://www.facebook.com/jatspage Jim Thomsen

I was there too, right in the trenches. Watergate, was a obvious ploy by the DNC to upseat a very popular president, who had got us out of the Kennedy nightmare, Viet Nam. Two green reporters beating the GOP,and the left press, get real. The media then pushed the dope, so the next generation was ruined. Doped out. Jimmy Carter was a huge error fought tooth and nail, by the GOP. RR was the reason the USA, got out of the gutter, JFK created. He brought back pride in the USA, not some silly game. RR policies, hated by the press, brought us out of the deep economy, the liberals had put us in. Only A dim wit, could think of the 20% inflation as good times. 8 years of RR, were the good times. Then the USA tipped left again, driving us into this mess, they avoid calling a depression. There were some pretty good GOP, then, too, and RR led us up, but not out. We have now slipped into a deep canyon, labeled Obamaville. It is going to take a lot more than just changing history, to get us out, Obama has got the entire USA government, hard at work, trying to lie his way into 4 more years. If Ob appointed you, you must now lie, to counter every conservative truth. Entrenched traitors are hard to dig out.

Newt has a tendency to win the battle and then forget about the war. js. I’ll get behind him if he is the nominee, but I’ll be damned if I am crowning ANYBODY king. They all need to work alot harder so that we get all of this ironed out and crystal clear. Conservatism must be clearly defined and people MUST be persuaded- it’s still coming across as a bit mushy to the average guy on the street. The longer this goes on the more clearly Conservatism is defined, defended and more likely to win the day.
- Anonymous
Everyone has said that Santorum has won the last two…now probably three, debates. Yet it hasn’t translated into votes for some reason. The only reason I can think of it was because Newt was basically at home in SC (like Romney in NH) and because of his two times of crushing the media. People love to see a candidate stand up to the media and necessarily bend to their will of stupid or race baited questions.
I hope RS does well in FL though even though I believe he isn’t planning on winning. I just hope the media doesn’t try and end it after whomever wins FL which I’m sure they’ll try and do.

So called “Conservative” Governor Chris Christie just appointed a gay judge to the Supreme Court in NJ. So much for his conservative credentials! I want to see Romney defend this like Christie has defended him.

There is a gay marriage bill coming before the Democrat controlled NJ legislature and I have already called my state senator asking him not to vote for it. Does appointing this judge mean our “conservative” governor will break his pledge to the voters who elected him by signing it into law? Inquiring minds want to know. PS.

This is why as my governor when everyone wanted him to run for president I said I would not support him. He is NOT a conservative. He also did not join the lawsuit about Obamacare and he believes in collective bargaining for public employees.

They THINK they are conservative because the Dems here are sooooooo far left they “look” far to the right but they are NOT, NOT, NOT!!!!!!!!

It is a brilliant strategy:
-First he appointed a Sharia judge that NJ muslims bought with Christie campaign money.
- That gets the gay community all worried because they know what homosexuality gets in Sharia.
- So then Christy sells the gays a judge of their own. - Anonymous
It’s even more than that because gay marriage is coming before the legislature and I have already called my state senator to vote no. This is a set up by Christie, “the conservative Governor” to get his liberal agenda while calling himself a conservative.

OK, everybody knows the meme against Sarah Palin getting in the race, “Oh but if she was serious about running, she would have gotten in the race when everone else did.”
Did you hear the commentary after the debate? David Gregory and whoever the other snipes were repeated the days rumors about Romney’s campaign staff trying to get Mitch Daniels, Jeb, or Christie in the race if Romney goes down in FL.
I think she’s been shaddowing the sidelines for this very reason: to keep the Elite’s alternates on the Bench.
That double barrel Christie jab was a pre-emptive show stopper for Crispy.
She also said something tonight I haven’t heard her say before (agenda wise) about Replacing Senators- who have played “go along to get along”.
That’s big here in MS where our Republican encumbant Senator is up for re-election, a TEA party candidate qualified for the Repub primary against him. Also, the filing deadline for independent run in the general has not yet passed.

the “ruling class” (I use this term in the pejorative sense) and the libs live in fear of her. They see her as an existential threat. The amount of abuse she and her family received is unprecedented. Yet she still keeps fighting for real American values. She is a hero.
On the other hand, we have Christie…he needs to stay where he is as he has shown he is not a national level conservative. He has way too many rino tendencies and his service to Romney exposes him.

Haley Barbour Defends Gingrich’s Leadership As Speaker:
“Well of course when I was head of the RNC we won the biggest midterm majority sweep of the twentieth century in 1994. Newt was at the very very front of it and deserves enormous enormous credit for it. And they did Contract with America and they did exactly what they said. The first balanced budget in a generation. Welfore reform. Huge accomplishments in that period of time so I don’t discredit Newt a bit on what was done then,” Barbour said about Gingrich as a leader.”

I wish there was a video where Sarah would dedicate the time to the reason why she lift the Governors office. I think it would reveal the depth of corruption and cowardice and the lengths Democratic /socialists scum and their racist slave packs will go to destroy anyone who stands against them.
Furthermore it would be a case study in how well-meaning Republicans, in the same party with this outstanding human being, will back away, covering their asses with newspaper like incontinent morons , scurrying out he door, to distance themselves from any member under attack. I don’t know which is the more disgusting when the real battle starts- Democratic scum or a Republican with principle.
My point is this. Gingrich had 84 ethics complaints filed against him early in his speaker ship. All were filed by the disgusting DEMOCRATIC, communist back stabbing yellow bastards. Of these, the FBI, et, all investigated and threw out 83! It was a humbug! It was a lie at taxpayer expense to steal back what had been rightfully earned by Newt and a few loyal people and taking away from Democrats sick of cigar bearing Presidents, their whores and the welfare class.
Newt gave up the fight and paid the 300 k because the scum Democrats were breaking him personally and about to stop the some of the greatest accomplishments that had been made by any conservative in 70 years.
Where in Hell was Beohner when commie Nancy Pelosi was speaker? Was there not one issue that raised ethical issues with this slobbering bi***? Was there not one Republican in the House with the guts to file a complaint and tell he to stick it? Or were they all just covering their butts, lingering once again as second stringers as the Republican Party has done for years, too effete, too weak, too cool, too filled with themselves to actually take on responsibility for the future of this country. Or were they too proud, too principled to do whatever it takes to save the United States including destroying Pelosi personally? You expect the soldier to put his life on the line, to hesitate before firing to ensure the safety of the bearing of enemy children, but don’t take a chance with your pension. Sc*** this establishment of cowards, fops and weaklings. It sometime makes me sick to think that they named this nation’s highest honor, the *CONGRESSIONAL* Medal of Honor.
This Democratic scum must be exposed. If your neighbors and family are Democrats, they are part of it. That they don’t understand makes them not much better than the Germans who backed and voted for Hitler. They will pay, through their children, for their treachery, conscious or not.
Defeat the Democratic commie scum. Purge Boehner and elect West Speaker. Sarah I am so glad you’ve stuck around.

The Republican establishment has transformed itself into a bunch of ballerinas who dance for you and do little else. The Conservatives, like Palin, are willing to be gladiators, fight against the Progressive luge-run to Hell and get bloodied over principle.
I once hoped that the Republican establishment would welcome and embrace the Conservative movement. It seems like this will not happen because the establishment R’s are reaching into the same political cookie jar as the D’s with their “go along, get along” mindset.
The establishment R’s like Boehner and his ilk must be purged before our party turns into Progressive-Lite. We already have an Obama-Lite running. His name is Romney.

I think the tea party took credit for a conservative swing that would have happened anyway. The electorate goes back and forth, right to left. The tea party actually cost us a couple of clear cut wins, but they were obsessed over the “establishment” candidates in several critical races and it cost us dearly. Harry Reid is in office solely because of the tea party. They need to disperse at this point. It’s become counterproductive.

It really is amazing how in the tank the media is this time around.
Example, Drudge Report has had as a headline all night “NO STANDING OVATIONS…” with a picture of the audience that looks like they are half asleep. It links to an article at the National Journal titled “Gingrich Lost His Crowd-Pleasing Groove in Tampa.” It goes on to say…
Not to be outdone — and sensing perhaps his only opportunity to break through — Gingrich attempted to one-up Romney when Williams turned the question to him. “I don’t think Fidel is going to meet his maker,” Gingrich said, glancing in Romney’s direction. “I think he’s going to the other place.”
Crickets. That is, at least compared to the reception Gingrich has become accustomed to. Stymied once again, he cleared his throat and began lecturing in an abnormally lackluster tone, as if to say, “Tough crowd.”
One thing that was left out of the article is that all of the candidates were greeted with silence. Usually the Ron Paul kids are hooting and hollaring when Ron Paul speaks, but even they were silent. Why wasn’t that reported?

You understand my thinking here. There are gains/income from offshore that you are allowed to pay the local rate and not pay US taxes until the cash comes back onshore. For instance, if a tax haven has a tax rate of 10% and the PIC (private investment company) or trust, they pay the ffective rate for that country until it comes back

I agree. The SC debate should have not even been televised. The raucous crowd debates should be purely local. Millions on tv are being swayed by who has the loudest crowd.
- puma_for_life
That’s a good idea; keeping the raucous ones local only. Newt didn’t like this debate because his comments didn’t get any response and he knows, as you do, that the cheering is swaying people in his direction. Personallly, I find it depressing that people are still swayed by this type of thing. Crowd mentality.

It’s easy to say the “two hot air bags” were just the same, but Newt DID try to say he would let people go to his website. Then Mitt went on and on and on. What would you do?
