Did Newt Gingrich Wins Final Florida CNN Debate?  Newt Gingrich called on moderator Wolf Blitzer of CNN to let the four candidates discuss the issues.

Gingrich accused Romney and Restore Our Future, the independent group, of dishonest ads, explaining, “This is the desperate last stand of the old order. This is the kind of gall they have, to think we’re so stupid and we’re so timid.”

Later, he told reporters why he decided to sharpen his criticisms of Romney after the mega-rich Romney released his tax returns. “Here’s a guy who owns Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae stock,” Gingrich said. “He owns a Goldman Sachs subsidiary, which is foreclosing on Floridians. And on that front he decides to lie about my career? There’s something about the hypocrisy that should make every American angry.”

The audience booed, as if in agreement with Gingrich


BREAKING NEWS UPDATES: Newt Backed Reagan, Romney Opposed Him     “There is something truly obscene about the full-blown assault on Newt Gingrich’s strong Reagan conservative history from and on behalf of Mitt Romney, who unabashedly ran away from the Reagan legacy and conservative principles in his 1994 Senate campaign and 2002 gubernatorial campaign,” William A. Jacobson, associate clinical professor at the Cornell Law School, has written on the Legal Insurrection website in defense of Newt Gingirch’s conservative credintials.

Ronald Reagan’s wife, Nancy Reagan, stressed Newt’s close relationship with Reagan in a video of her 1995 speech at a dinner honoring Ronald Reagan: “The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.”

And Reagans’ son, Michael Reagan, said of Gingrich in his Jan. 20 endorsement: “Newt exemplifies the conservative principles my father championed — strong national defense, lower taxes and smaller government.

“In the 90’s Newt’s leadership brought us the Contract with America which changed Washington. I’m confident Newt can do it again.”

“Much of the anti-Newt conservative media accuses Newt of ‘insulting’ Reagan,” Jacobson explains. “It is part of a smear campaign that started when Newt surged in Iowa.”

It was Newt!, who time after time after time during the Reagan years was with his group of fellow Conservative Republicans who were for YEARS DEFENDING REAGAN and Conservative principles. Gingrich “was out there again and again and again for Ronald Reagan and conservative principles,” Lord explains.

Jacobson noted that Mr. Romney during his unsuccessful 1994 Senate campaign said: “I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.”

“Nancy Reagan had it right, as does Jeffrey Lord. Newt was part of the Reagan revolution and he was the heir to that legacy, not alone, but as someone to whom the torch had been passed. That torch never was passed to Mitt Romney, and if it had been, he would have rejected it,” Jacobson concludes.

Here Is The Michael Reagan Endorsement    Michael Reagan, the son of the late president Ronald Reagan, said he believes Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who can “fundamentally change the course that Barack Obama has set for America.”

Newt is our only chance in 2012 to contrast a Reagan conservative with Obama’s European’ styled socialism.

“Newt exemplifies the conservative principles my father championed.

“Strong national defense, lower taxes and smaller government.

“In the 90’s Newt’s leadership brought us the Contract with America which changed Washington.

“I’m confident Newt can do it again.

We cannot afford a candidate backed by the same Washington insiders who repeatedly tried to undermine my father and the Reagan revolution.

“It’s time to choose.

Do we go forward with bold ideas or continue with failed policies?

“So I ask my fellow Republicans and conservatives to join me in supporting Newt Gingrich for president.”

“Whatever happens, quite unlike the picture Romney is trying to paint of his prime opponent in South Carolina, Newt Gingrich was very much present and accounted for on the Reagan team.

Quite to the contrary of the Romney message, Newt Gingrich was in fact one of Reagan’s Young Lieutenants.”

What Kind Of Obama Foreign Policy Is This? U.S. Outeraged As Egypt Bars Americans From Leaving    Six Americans that are working for publicly funded U.S. organizations promoting democracy in Egypt have now been barred from leaving the Egypt, according to the article.

“We are urging the government of Egypt to lift these restrictions immediately and allow these folks to come home as soon as possible,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

John McCain said in a statement referring to Egypt’s ruling military council, “I call on the Egyptian government and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to cease the harassment and unwarranted investigations of American NGOs operating in Egypt.

“This crisis has escalated to the point that it now endangers the lives of American citizens and could set back the long-standing partnership between the United States and Egypt.”

RINO Romney Parks Millions In Cayman Islands    “His personal finances are a poster child of what’s wrong with the American tax system,” explains Jack Blum, a Washington lawyer.

“I can tell you we follow the tax laws,” Romney recently stated. “And if there’s an opportunity to save taxes, we like anybody else in this country will follow that opportunity.”

But this article says that “Romney has used a variety of techniques to help minimize the taxes on his estimated $250 million fortune. In addition to paying the lower tax rate on his investment income, Romney has as much as $8 million invested in at least 12 funds listed on a Cayman Islands registry. Another investment, which Romney reports as being worth between $5 million and $25 million, shows up on securities records as having been domiciled in the Caymans.” — ABC NEWS — THE BLOTTER

Gingrich Blasts Romney Before Last Florida Debate    “Many of you have probably noticed a number of attack ads and all sorts of junk, and that’s what it is,” Newt Gingrich explained to a crowd in Mount Dora. “This is the desperate last stand of the old order throwing the kitchen sink, hoping something sticks.”

“Remember the Republican establishment is just as much as an establishment as the Democratic establishment, and they are just as determined to stop us. … This is a campaign for the very nature of the Republican Party and the very opportunity for a citizen conservatism to defeat the power of money and to prove that people matter more than Wall Street.”

“Voters can smell fear and they can smell confidence. Newt has been displaying confidence, strength, even having fun in these debates. He needs to continue that. That’s the mark of a leader,” explains GOP strategist and CNN contributor, Alex Castellanos.

Rush Limbaugh Defends The True RECORD Of Newt Gingric, “Coordinated Avalanche Against Newt Doesn’t Match My Memory    “But I’m watching this stuff and what happened was, the moment Reagan’s inaugurated, the Democrats, the media, it was as vicious an assault on a human being, on a Republican, as there is today.

“Now, those of you who were not paying attention back then or who were too young to pay attention, don’t doubt me, it was vicious. And Reagan did not have a media on his side. It was the three networks and CNN and the newspapers. There was no talk radio. There were no blogs, of course. There wasn’t the Internet. There was no alternative media. Reagan had National Review. That was his lone ally in the media, William Buckley’s National Review. That was it. And early on in the Reagan years, does the name David Stockman ring a bell? David Stockman, the first budget director for Reagan, within the first year goes rogue and says Reaganomics won’t work, can’t work, it was bad.

It was a total back stab. That’s where the name “trickle down” actually got created I think, and became standard vernacular in the popular lexicon. That, and supply-side. And I remember the stories about Reagan taking Stockman to the woodshed. That’s a quote from the story. That’s how it was described, to get his mind right. But that unleashed a torrent from Tip O’Neill, from every Democrat, I mean all these people. Reagan lied, Bush was right, it is voodoo economics, oh, this is horrible. We were in a great recession at the time here. The Democrats loved what Stockman did, and the guy who self-appointed himself to stop all this was Newt.  And that’s where I first heard of him.

“Newt Gingrich and Bob Walker and a couple of others that were members of what was called the Conservative Opportunity Society, I don’t know that it had been named as such yet, but it was a bunch of young, relatively new members of the House on the Republican side who were conservatives. They had special orders every night. Once the House had finished its official business, as long as somebody shows up on the floor of the House to speak, the cameras on C-SPAN stay on.  It didn’t matter that nobody else was in the House chamber.  They stayed on until the last person left the floor.  And Newt and his guys were in there five hours a night.  They were rotating, each of them would speak for an hour. They would yield to each other. They would interrupt themselves for questions and so forth. But the cameras only were focused on the well. You never knew that there was no audience there, except there was never any applause. You never knew that the House chamber was empty, unless you knew what special orders were.

And this went on for years. And it’s where I heard of Newt Gingrich. And Newt had appointed himself the personal defender of Ronald Reagan and had appointed himself the singular person with his buddies to counter all of what he thought were the lies of the day being spouted by the media and the Democrats.

“…It was let by Newt Gingrich, and what was he doing? He was defending Reagan. Now, all of this stuff that hit Drudge and everywhere else last night about Newt telling everybody the country goes to hell if they continue Reaganism and that Newt insulted Reagan and that the Reagan administration failed and Iran-Contra…I never heard any of that. I started doing this particular program in Sacramento in 1984, and I was just as immersed in national politics then as I am now, and I could honestly tell you this.” — Rush Limbaugh

Soros May Benefit From Obama White House Natural Gas Proposal  Billionaire George Soros has given $384,090 to the Democratic Party, Democratic PACs, and Democratic Candidates beginning in 2008. He has also given $4,400 to Obama himself and has describes himself as “an early supporter of Barack Obama, first in his Senate campaign in Illinois and later when he ran for President. Soros supported Obama in his presidential bid because he believed he could provide the transformational leadership the country needed.”

Electric Car Firm That Got Biden Visit, $118M In Stimulus, Files For Bankruptcy    Ener1 is a company that manufactures batteries for electric cars. It received $118.5 million in federal stimulus money and that Vice President Joe Biden visited last year — the day after President Obama’s State of the Union Address. It has announced today that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

“Last night, President Obama set a goal of making the United States the first country in the world to put one million advanced technology vehicles on the road,” wrote Brian Levine, deputy domestic policy adviser to Biden. “This goal is part of the President’s plan to rebuild our economy by investing in innovation to create the jobs and industries of the future.”

Biden visited the Ener1 plant in Greenfield, Ind. after Obama’s State of the Union speech.

“Last night, President Obama set a goal of making the United States the first country in the world to put one million advanced technology vehicles on the road,” Levine wrote. “This goal is part of the President’s plan to rebuild our economy by investing in innovation to create the jobs and industries of the future.

“Today, Vice President Biden visited Ener1, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced batteries for electric vehicles, in Greenfield, Indiana to announce our plan to reach this one million vehicle goal by 2015,” wrote Levine. “The facility that the Vice President visited would not exist if not for a $118.5 million grant from the Department of Energy, which was part of a $2.4 billion Recovery Act investment in electric vehicles. Ener1 added 120 jobs across the company in 2010 and the future looks bright. They expect to expand the manufacturing and assembly operation in Greenfield from 80 workers today to over a thousand by the start of 2013.”

All big thinkers and shakers are grandiose in their ideas, and many don’t mind telling you about their grandiose ideas. Ronald Reagan had a grandiose idea of calling the Soviet Union an “Evil Empire.” Now the Establishment Republicans and the Democrats didn’t like this idea, but Reagan didn’t want to live with this threat, instead, he wanted to ELIMINATE IT! And so he set out to convince as many people as possible of this grandiose idea, and was able to get elected and build up our military — even through the Democrats’ nasty campaign against this idea with their name calling and frightening people into thinking Reagan was a “war monger.” But Reagan prevailed because he could communicate to the Public his ideas well enough that they accepted them.

Newt Gingrich had grandiose ideas back before the 1994 elections. He wanted to win the House of Representatives back from the Democrats, who had held it since 1952, forty years. He convinced a great deal of Republicans and voters that his ideas were better than the Democrat’s ideas. And what happened? A spectacular, historic victory! His strategy with the content of his 1994 Contract with America propelled the Republicans to a 54-seat gain in 1994 to win control of the House of Representatives, the Republicans only capturing it two out of the previous 62 years. Even the Reagan Revolution failed to achieve that!

Then Newt led the House Republicans in 1996 to their first re-election as a majority since 1928 — an astounding almost 70 years!

And once in power, Newt Gingrich actually delivered on his promises, and maintained a solid conservative record, working closely with Conservative Activist Groups on every one of these issues. He carried out the Contract with America in full, holding a vote on every item as promised, with most of the items passing. Newt maintained a RECORD of unswerving loyalty to pro-life, pro-gun and Second Amendment, and anti-tax issues.

Under Newt’s leadership, the total federal spending relative to GDP declined from 1995 to 2000 by a whopping 12.5%. This equals about one-eighth of the size of the economy in just five short years!

As a result, those nasty $200 billion annual federal deficits that had prevailed for over 15 years were instead transformed into record-breaking surpluses by 1998. They peaked at $236 billion in 2000.

Mr. Gingrich also led enactment of a capital gains tax rate cut of almost 30% in 1997. It went from 28% down to 20%, the largest capital gains cut in U.S. history! And BECAUSE of that cut, capital gains revenues went up a whopping $84 billion higher for 1997 to 2000 than projected before Newt’s rate cut.

RINO Romney ran to the Left of Ted Kennedy, governed like Ted Kennedy, voted like Ted Kennedy and then ran for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination as a Conservative WITHOUT a record of conservatism! Go Newt! — 777denny



Best Interview Ever! Newt Gingrich Nails RINO Romney to The Wall!    “We set the all time record, we carried 43 out of 46 counties. The people of South Carolina came together. They said, ‘Newt Gingrich can debate Barack Obama and win the Presidency.’ And they said Mitt Romney is, by the standards of Republicans, a Liberal. He was pro-Gun Control, pro-abortion, pro-tax increase as Governor, and so he lost. And what I think you have is a very rattled Romney Campaign which is floundering, and they don’t have any way to build him up, because they can’t talk about his record as governor,” Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity on Fox.

They can’t talk about what he did during the Reagan/Bush years, because he repudiated them. He voted for Paul Tsongas in the Democratic Primary in 92‘. He gave money to Democrats in 1992. So, he can’t go back and compete with me, so all he’s doing now is piling on as much mud as he can find to see if he can somehow drown the Gingrich Campaign,” Gingrich explained.

And what about RINO Romney’s attack on Newt for the “witch hunt” that the Democrats went on against him?

“The Senior Councelor to the Ethics Committee has said flatly what Romney’s saying isn’t true.”

“If you go back and read the record, you’ll find out I NEVER PAID A FINE. I paid the expenses of the investigation because my lawyer made a mistake. Every one of the eighty-four (84) charges filed by the Democrats was THROWN OUT. A U.S. Judge said I was right. The Federal Elections Committee said I was right. The Internal Revenue Service said I was right. Now, Mitt Romney’s staff KNOWS THAT. They just decided that TELLING THE TRUTH WOULD MEAN THEY WOULD LOSE the elections. So, THEY GAVE UP TELLING THE TRUTH in order to try to win.”

How about the false charges by RINO Romney concerning Lobbying for Freddie Mac?

“Look, they said, ‘release the contracts.’ We went ALL THE WAY BACK TO 1999, and guess what they said? No Lobbying! Oh, then that didn’t count. We brought in an expert to teach ALL of the folds what was Lobbying and what wasn’t, because WE WERE DETERMINED that NO ONE who worked for us WOULD EVER LOBBY. Oh, that doesn’t count. The ONLY TIME I WAS EVER CITED IN THE NEWSPAPRES FOR TALKING ABOUT Freddie Mac was in the New York Times in July 2008 when I TOLD THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO VOTE NO! Now, at some point this becomes an absurdity.”

“On the other hand, we discovered Mitt Romney owns stock in BOTH Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Mitt Romney put a Freddie Mac Lobbyist on a commercial attacking me. Mitt Romney’s Campaign Manager worked for a company that got $2,000,000 from (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) to STOP THE REGULATION. Ya, know, he’s rurrounded by Senior Advisors who were Lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I mean the ABSOLUTE GALL of Mitt Romney surrounding himself with all these Lobbyists, owning stock of the companies and then FABRICATING A CHARGE, which is factually false, I think DEMEANS THE ENTIRE PROCESS FOR RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.”

Earlier in the interview Gingrich talked about President (Food Stamp) Obama.

“Well, I thought the speech had a couple of fascinating moments,” Newt said of Obama Union Address. “Ya, know, I don’t know that the White House understands that when he called for a 30% tax, he would DOUBLE THE CAPITOL GAINS TAX. Now, if you double the Capitol Gains Tax, YOUR GOING TO CRASH THE STOCK MARKET. Your going to effect EVERY PENSION FUND in the country. Your going to weaken 401 K’s. your going to DRIVE CAPITAL OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Your going to STOP INVESTMENT. I mean, this is…if they meant it. I’m not sure he understood it. but if he meant genuinely 30% minimum tax, that would mean he is prescribing a DECADE OF UNEMPLOYMENT, and I thing that that’s very, very sobering, frankly, when you look at that.”

And what about racialist charging that President Food Stamp Obama is the Food Stamp President?

“I think that the Left is TERRIFIED that we will begin to communicate effectively how DESTRUCTIVE THEIR POLICIES ARE, how much they deprive people of opportunity. And if you contrast a paycheck candidate, which is what I want to be, which a Food Stamp President, I think it becomes very hard for them to win re-election. The fact is Barack Obama believes in Big Government; he believes in Higher Taxes; he has POLICIES THAT KILL JOBS. He just killed jobs with his veto of the pipeline in the Midwest.”

“So, you have a President, I think in many ways is committed to policies that PUT PEOPLE ON Food Stamps. And they don’t want to get into this kind of an argument, because overwelmingly, Americans would rather be at work earning a paycheck.”

And what About Obama saying everything is OK?

“And for the President to suggest that things are OK is a sign of how OUT OF TOUCH with ‘every day Americans’ the President now is.”

Newt Gingrich Winning The Crowd Contest In Florida    According to the article Newt Gingrich is drawing large and enthusiastic Florida crowds, while RINO Mitt Romney is appearing before significantly smaller throngs.”

Newt drew enormous crowds on Tuesday in Flirida, with the final one attracting more than 5,000 people.  On the other hand, on the same day, RINO Romney drew about 150 people in Tampa and addressed about 300 people in southwest Florida later.

“I think people like the way he’s a little bit crass.  They’re looking for somebody who will tell it like it is,” said a 57-year-old Orlando businessman.

Mitch Daniels’s Response To Obama’s Pathetic State Of The Union Campaign Speech On Taxpayer’s Dime    “But he was elected on a promise to fix them, and he cannot claim that the last three years have made things anything but worse: the percentage of Americans with a job is at the lowest in decades.  One in five men of prime working age, and nearly half of all persons under 30, did not go to work today.  

In three short years, an unprecedented explosion of spending, with borrowed money, has added trillions to an already unaffordable national debt.  And yet, the President has put us on a course to make it radically worse in the years ahead.  The federal government now spends one of every four dollars in the entire economy; it borrows one of every three dollars it spends.  No nation, no entity, large or small, public or private, can thrive, or survive intact, with debts as huge as ours.” — Mitch Daniels

Under Socialist Obama’s Keynesian Obamanomics: Price Of Gas – Up 83%; Ground Beef – Up 24%; Bacon – Up 22%, Etc.   So far, during President Barack Obama’s three short years of disservice TO America, according to the article the price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 83%, the price of ground beef has gone up 24% and the price of bacon has gone up 22%.

When Saul Alinski Radical Adherent Obama entered the White House in January 2009, the city average price for one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.79,  and by December 2011, the price of regular unleaded gas per gallon was $3.28, which is an astounding 83% increase from January 2009.

Socialist Vice President Biden Likes To Spend OTHER PEOPLE’S MONRY, While giving $369 To Charity A Year?     The Bidens reported earning $319,853 last year, but the Socialists only gave a pittance to charity it seems, averaging only $369 to charity a year.

Over the last decade, the Bidens reported a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, which is a microscopic 0.2% of their income. Like, ‘un-wow’.

Boehner’s Guests For Socialist Obama’s Speech: Keystone Supporters    House Speaker Boehner announced his guests as Ray Brooks, a manager at Marathon Petroleum Company; Jay Churchill, a manager at Conoco Phillips; Dale Delle, president of a pipe production company; and Nebraska state Sen.

Mitch Daniels’ Response To The State Of The Union Address: Full Text    “We can’t do the simple math that proves the unaffordability of today’s safety net programs, or all the government we now have.  We will fall for the con job that says we can just plow ahead and someone else will pick up the tab.  We will allow ourselves to be pitted one against the other, blaming our neighbor for troubles worldwide trends or our own government has caused.

“2012 must be the year we prove the doubters wrong.  The year we strike out boldly not merely to avert national bankruptcy but to say to a new generation that America is still the world’s premier land of opportunity.  Republicans will speak for those who believe in the dignity and capacity of the individual citizen; who believe that government is meant to serve the people rather than supervise them; who trust Americans enough to tell them the plain truth about the fix we are in, and to lay before them a specific, credible program of change big enough to meet the emergency we are facing. 

“We will advance our positive suggestions with confidence, because we know that Americans are still a people born to liberty.”

Boehner: The President & I “Just Come From Two Different Planets”    “We just come from two different planets,” Speaker Boehner explains”We speak a different language.”

Boehner says the defense cuts “entirely unacceptable“, explaining they would “weaken our defense significantly… putting America in a very precarious situation.”

“The White House made clear by Labor Day that it was in full campaign mode. The President wants this to be a year one address… he’s taking on the role of Rip Van Winkle… like he slept through the two years where Democrats controlled both chambers.”

Obama’s Proposals Evasive And IRRESPONSIBLE    “Don’t worry, America. There’s nothing that ails this country that can’t be made right by a catalogue of piddling proposals that will be forgotten tomorrow–and oh yeah, more taxes on the rich. Such was the message of President Obama’s State of the Union address.

“The president steered clear of some of the nation’s gravest domestic questions.

“All of that was left aside, so the president could strike an uplifting, inoffensive tone proposing a raft of superficially unobjectionable new government actions. It was one thing for Bill Clinton to take this tack in the late 90s when the economy was roaring. It was evasive and irresponsible for President Obama to do it now in our current straits.” —

Gingrich Decries Debates Withholding Applause: “The media doesn’t control free speech”     “We’re going to serve notice on future debates … we’re just not going to allow that to happen. The media doesn’t control free speech. People ought to be allowed to applaud if they want to. It’s almost silly,” GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told Fox News.

“I wish, in retrospect, that I protested” the call to keep quiet, Gingrich explains. “I think it’s wrong. And I think he took them out of it because the media is terrified that the audience is going to side with the candidates against the media, which is what they’ve done in every debate.”

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION CORRUPTION: Issa Cries Foul After Key Player In Fast And Furious Scandal Refuses To Testify    Committee Chairman Darrell Issa explained that the decision was a “startling development.” In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder Issa wrote that the refusal to testify implies that “Mr. Cunningham may have engaged in criminal conduct with respect to Fast and Furious is a major escalation of the department’s culpability.”

MORE LEFTIST CORRUPTION! National Park Director Defends Occupy DC Campsite At Congressional Hearing    “It’s not your job to determine which protest group, how to treat protest groups differently. They are breaking the law. Why aren’t you enforcing the law?” asked Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL).

“Camping is not a First Amendment activity. It is a violation of law. Sleeping (in a national park) is not a First Amendment activity, it is a violation of law,” explained Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA).

I believe the National Park Service has allowed the protesters to camp indefinitely for ideological reasons,” Issa explained.

“Yesterday, we had the March for Life protesters. They came, they protested, and they left. Had they had stayed, they would have been expected to stay in hotel rooms,” he said. 

Freedom is not an absence of uniform rules,” Issa added.

Obama-Friendly, Billionaire Leftist George Soros On The Coming U.S. Class War    “I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros told Newsweek. “We are facing an extremely difficult time, comparable in many ways to the 1930s, the Great Depression. We are facing now a general retrenchment in the developed world, which threatens to put us in a decade of more stagnation, or worse. The best-case scenario is a deflationary environment. The worst-case scenario is a collapse of the financial system.”

[Occupy Wall Street “is an inchoate, leaderless manifestation of protest,” but it will grow. It has “put on the agenda issues that the institutional left has failed to put on the agenda for a quarter of a century.” He reaches for analysis, produced by the political blog ThinkProgress.org, that shows how the Occupy movement has pushed issues of unemployment up the agenda of major news organizations, including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. It reveals that in one week in July of last year the word “debt” was mentioned more than 7,000 times on major U.S. TV news networks. By October, mentions of the word “debt” had dropped to 398 over the course of a week, while “occupy” was mentioned 1,278 times, “Wall Street” 2,378 times, and “jobs” 2,738 times. You can’t keep a financier away from his metrics.

[As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”] —

This Just In! RINO Romney Has A Swiss Bank Account, With Pages And Pages Devoted To Foreign Entities, Some With Tax Havens    “This just in, RINO Romney has a Swill bank account…or at least he had one until very recently per his 2010 tax return. Also, “pages and pages [of the return] are devoted to foreign entities in which Romney invested. Many are located in places like Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Cayman Islands, all famous tax havens. None shows much income,” according to a press report on his just released tax return. And lastly, RINO Romney paid tax at a rate of 13.9% in 2010 … a much lower rate than Warren Buffett’s secretary! — guns’n'bacon

RINO Mitt Romney’s Top Conservative Achievements: ZERO! 

FACT SHEET: Newt Gingrich Ethics Investigation Vindication    In Mitt Romney’s desperation, he is misstating key facts about the ethics committee investigation against Newt Gingrich. In fact, Newt Gingrich was vindicated.
Key Facts.

  • No tax violation. Eighty three out of eighty four politically motivated ethics charges filed against Newt when he was Speaker of the House were found to be without merit and dropped1. The remaining charge had to do with contradictory documents prepared by Newt’s lawyer supplied during the course of the investigation. The Congress did NOT find that Newt misused tax-exempt funds2.
  • Not a fine. Newt took responsibility for the error and agreed to reimburse the committee the cost of the investigation into that discrepancy. The $300,000 payment was described as a “cost assessment”, NOT a “fine,” because Newt was not found to have personally benefited from any of the activities under investigation3

Snip:
Romney campaign hypocritical. Newt Gingrich has released his taxes for 2010 and there has been a 1200 page report from the ethics committee investigation available to everyone online for the past 14 years6. In contrast, Mitt Romney deleted the hard drives and records of his governorship upon leaving office. It takes a lot of gall for Mitt Romney to insist on more transparency from Newt with his [RINO Romney's] record of going to incredible lengths to hide his past7.

OUTRAGEOUS! Homosexual Fascist School Punishes 15-Year-Old-Boy For Opposing Homosexual Adoption, Attorney Retained For Fight For Free Speech In Government Public Schools    A young 15-year-old Wisconsin boy who wrote an op-ed that opposed Homosexual Adoption quoting scriptures censored, threatened with suspension and even called ignorant by the the Homosexual Fascist A**hol* superintendent Todd Carlson of the Shawano School District, this according to the article. Read Wegner’s editorial by clicking here.

After homosexual couple whose son attends the school complained, the school immediately swung into action against the Free Speech Rights of Wegner and issued an apology – stating Wegner’s opinion was a “form of bullying and disrespect.”

“Offensive articles cultivating a negative environment of disrespect are not appropriate or condoned by the Shawano School District,” the statement read. “We sincerely apologize to anyone we may have offended and are taking steps to prevent items of this nature from happening in the future.”

This last paragraph contains the exact Homosexual Fascism that I have been warning America about. Those who think this Fascism will stop at this are sadly mistaken, since no one will truly be safe from corruption in ANY Fascist State. One wrong word or move could cost your dearly, later on…

“The superintendent called him ignorant and said he had the power to suspend him,” Staver explains. “He’s using his position to bully this student. This is absolutely the epitome of intolerance.”

“When Mr. Wegner stated that he did not regret writing it, and that he stood behind his beliefs, Superintendent Carlson told him that he ‘had got to be one of the most ignorant kids to try to argue with him about this topic,’” Staver said.

This is how intimidating the Leftist sons-a-bitches are to a young person who does not follow their indoctrination of EVIL! May they ROT in Hell if they do not repent of this EVIL of trying to homosexualize young boys and girls. To Hell with the Man Boy Love Association and ALL their supporters and enablers!!!

At that point, Staver explained that the superintendent threatened the boy that “we have the power to suspend you if we want to.”

“He was asked to write an article in the newspaper overseen by a faculty adviser,” he said, saying the superintendent was really angry about the scripture verses used.

The superintendent wants everyone to accept homosexuality as normative and homosexual adoption as something that should be standard practices,” Staver said. “In doing so, he’s belittling the views and the biblical views of many people across this country. He is playing a zero-sum game. He’s not interested in dialogue. He wants to cram his view down the throat of everyone else and will not tolerate an opposing viewpoint.”

It was a very intimidating situation for this 15-year-old boy,” he said.”It was uncalled for. He crossed the line. It’s absolutely outrageous and he needs to apologize for his actions.”

If this were to happen to my kid, this man would probably not be happy with his ears ringing from my verbal war of words he would be getting in front of the entire frigging school!!! May that MF go to Hell if he repents not!

Homosexuals Brainwashing Out Children In Elementary Schools    “Extremely slick propaganda directed at the youngest of children! The videos below are from It’s Elementary, a 78-minute feature film produced by homosexual activists.  These are actual scenes from elementary schools in Massachusetts and New York.  It’s Elementary is meant to be a training video for homosexual activist teachers across the country. In addition, the film itself has been shown to schoolchildren in public schools in Massachusetts and elsewhere.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATES: Former GOP Presidential Candidate In 08′, Sen. Fred Thompson Endorses Newt Gingrich For President In 2012    Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson told Sean Hannity on Fox News Monday night Newt is “not afraid, he’s tough,” adding that since the country is in a “colossal mess,” then “normal rules don’t apply.”

Rhompson explained that Newt is a strong man who “led a revolution in American politics” during his time as House speaker, working across the aisle to get things done including Welfare Reform. “Newt has done his own tough, gritty work” to get things done in America.

Thompson emplored politicians to “stop apologizing” and stand up to the establishment of both parties and the news media to get things done for America. “People are frightened,” he explained. “They want answers.”

Thompson also said  although he got into politics to improve things, now he is “ashamed and embarrassed by what our generation is leaving behind.” Go Newt!

Sarah Palin Endorses Newt Gingrich!, Sort Of…Again!    “If I had to vote in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going I’d vote for Newt and I would want this to continue. More debates, more vetting of candidates because we know the mistake made in our country four years ago was having a candidate that was not vetted, to the degree that he should have been so that we knew what his associations and his pals represented and what went into his thinking, the shaping of who our president today is,” Sarah Palin had said previous to the South Carolina Primary.

Newt’s Billionaire Benefactor To Spend Another $5 M To Help Newt Win!     

John Kerry Has Two Black Eyes And One Broken Nose From Hockey    

Rand Paul: ‘I Was Barked AT: ‘Do Not Leave The Cubicle!’    “It was a big headache,” Paul said. “I missed my speech here. I was supposed to speak to the Right to Life March, probably the biggest audience I’ll get to speak to, and I missed it.”

“If you’re told you can’t leave, does that count as detention?” Paul asked.

I tried to leave the cubicle to speak to one of the TSA people and I was barked at: ‘Do not leave the cubicle!’ So, that, to me sounds like I’m being asked not to leave the cubicle. It sounds a little bit like I’m being detained.”

“For an hour and a half, they said ‘absolutely, I would have to [accept a pat-down],’” Paul explained. “And, because I used my cell phone, they told me I would have to do a full body pat down because you’re not allowed to use your cell phone when you’re being detained.”

“It’s like, well, I can’t call my attorney? I can’t call my office to tell them I’m going to miss a speech to 200,000 people?”

“I don’t think so,” Paul said. “They’ve usually treated me pretty well in Nashville. But the problem is the rules that are coming out of Washington. We’ve been 10 years and we have no frequent flier program, we have no ability for people to go back through the screener, [and] one-size-fits-all, everybody-is-a-potential-terrorist rules waste a lot of time on people who are not terrorists.

“So, resources, I think, could be better devoted to looking at who’s flying and where they’ve been flying and knowing more about the passenger list rather than spending all this time doing these random screenings of elderly people, young people and frequent fliers.”

“The TSA has got a lot of problems,” Paul told TheDC. “There are a lot of people who are insulted and their dignity is compromised by what the TSA does to them. Really all I’m asking for is when you go through the screener [machine], you ought to be allowed to choose to get a body pat-down or choose to go back through the screener.”

“But then you’re made to think that, ‘Oh, there’s a problem. We have to look at this,’” Paul said. “But, they’re wasting time, I think, by doing this. Instead of targeting people who meet a risk profile for terrorism, what they’re doing is they’re just doing these random things. But, I think it’s a waste of time and it’s insulting to put people through a body pat down when they have not shown any risk.”

HURRAY! As Brave GOP House Member To Boycott Obama’s Campaign Speech At The State Of The Union Dog And Pony Show    “Congressman Lamborn does not support the policies of Barack Obama,” Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) said on Monday in a statement released by his office.

Having never skipped a State of the Union before, he said this year “the president is in full campaign mode and will use the address as an opportunity to bash his political opponents.”

“Congressman Lamborn respects the President personally, and the office of the President.

“Congressman Lamborn is protesting Obama’s recent ‘recess appointments’ to the National Labor Relation’s Board and newly-created Consumer Protection Board. He is protesting Obama’s decision to reject the job-creating Keystone Pipeline. He is protesting the President’s draconian cuts to defense.

“Lamborn wants to send a strong, clear message that President Obama’s deficit spending cannot continue.

“Congressman Lamborn plans to watch the speech on television.”

Newt Gingrich Surges Past Romney In New Florida Poll, But Early Voters Favor RINO Romney, Although Late-Deciders Back Newt Go Newt!    Less than two weeks ago, RINO  Mitt Romney had a 22-point lead in Florida. But now Newt Gingrich is leading Romney in a poll taken Sunday there among likely Republican Primary Voters  evening 41% to 32%, with Rick Santorum running third with 11%, and Ron Paul only getting a mere 8%.

Romney does, however, lead Early Voters by 11 points, but Gingrich leads among those who have not yet voted by 12, with 14% having already voting.

A full 32% say they still could change their minds before they vote in the January 31 primary, with 59% saying they are already certain of their vote, including 73% of Romney supporters and 62% of Gingrich voters.

Newt Gingrich Happily Interacts With Media, While Mittens Rarely Does    “By contrast, Romney very rarely engages with reporters – which makes a lot of sense in terms of message discipline but can lead to frustration within the media and accusations of being a programmed “Romneybot“. Strangely enough, in this respect he is a little like Barack Obama, who in the 2008 campaign hardly ever yukked it up with reporters in the way Gingrich does.

“The joke among reporters in South Carolina was that Gingrich should make Juan Williams and John King campaign co-chairs or at least treat them to a slap-up dinner somewhere as they had been key factors in his victory. Equally, Fox News and CNN have been clearly delighted with the publicity from the electric debate moments when he rounded on their questioners.” — MailOnline

Obama’s Immigration Authorities Released Man Who Then Went On Killing Spree That Took 3 Lives In North Miami   “When burglar Kesler Dufrene became a twice-convicted felon in 2006, a Bradenton judge shipped him to prison for five years. And because of his convictions, an immigration judge ordered Dufrene deported to his native Haiti.

“That never happened.

“Instead, when Dufrene’s state prison term was up, Miami immigration authorities in October 2010 released him from custody.

J.C. Watts Says Newt Gingrich Did Little To Influence For Freddie Mac,     “Freddie Mac ought to be asking for a reimbursement from Newt; I just never heard his name,” explains four-term ex-Rep. J.C. Watts Watts, head of FM Policy Focus, a lobbying group that chiefly targets Fannie and Freddie.

“I thought it was ironic that in the six years I was chairman of FM Policy Focus, we had Republican and Democratic consultants, we talked to Republican and Democratic members of Congress, we talked to Wall Street folks, and the first time I heard his name was 45 days ago,” Watts said.

“Newt and I are pretty good friends, and we surely don’t agree on everything, but we’ve remained friends … and I just never heard his name associated with that, and I thought that was interesting,” Watts added.

“If it’s influence-peddling to be a consultant, I guess you could draw the same conclusion and say why wouldn’t campaign contributions be influence-peddling? And I think campaign contributions are protected as free speech, as American as apple pie and Chevrolet,” Watts said.

“If someone wants to split hairs over consulting and lobbying, as the Romney folks would want to do, any person who ever has been associated with Fannie or Freddie or taken money from Fannie or Freddie — I mean, is that legal bribery?” Watts added.

“Beating up the Speaker for consulting or beating up Mitt Romney for consulting in the private sector is like saying, ‘Let’s beat up Michael Jordan for being a great basketball player,’ ” Watts said. “You want someone who has been there, done that, who can give you the history on a circumstance or give you the history of buying a company.”

“It takes a little bit of moxie to beat the Speaker up over transparency or what he did or what he didn’t do, when we all know he erased all his computers with records of his governorship,” Watts said. “I don’t know what was there or what wasn’t there.”

Mitt Romney Profited From Freddie Mac     RINO Romney has profited from investments that were made in both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, this according to his personal finance disclosure forms and documents compiled by American Bridge, a Democratic group.

“Once again, Mitt Romney has proven his hypocrisy knows no limits,” said Ty Matsdorf, spokesman for American Bridge. “To continually attack the housing crisis, yet invest up to a half a million dollars in the major players is absolutely mind boggling. I didn’t know a person could flip flop on themselves, but Romney has proven that wrong.”

Romney’s financial disclosure statement filed last month apparently show him owning between $250,001 and $500,000 in a mutual fund that invests in debt notes of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, among other government entities. And over the previous year, Romeny had reported earning between $15,001 and $50,000 in interest from those investments.

Romney made an investment in a mutual fund called the Government Obligation Fund, managed by Federated Investors Inc., with the fund investing partly in government agencies. But out of a $28.5 billion portfolio, nearly half of the fund’s money was invested in Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Federal Home Loan Bank notes.

Newt Gingrich Wants Freddie Mac Records Released Before Florida Primary    “I think it would be very helpful and our attorneys are talking with the company. You know I left the company so, it’s their decision and Nancy Desmond, the president of the company, has to make the decision. But I’d be very comfortable releasing them,” GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

Here’s someone who has released none of his business records, who has decided to make a stand on transparency without being transparent,” Gingrich said.

“I did no lobbying, period. [Romney] keeps using the word lobbyist because I’m sure his consultants tell him it scores well. It’s not true. He knows it’s not true. He is deliberately saying things he knows are false. I just think that’s what the next week will be like,” he said.

I want to talk about big issuesI want to talk about Romneycare. I want to draw a contrast between Romneycare and Obamacare, which are virtually identical and what I would do in developing patient power and allowing people and their doctors to be in charge,” Gingrich said. “So we’ll see, I think the people of Florida will prefer big solutions to small negative attacks. And I think in the end just as happened in South Carolina, Governor Romney’s liberal record in Massachusetts plus the style of his campaign will end up I think having him lose.”

Gingrich Pushes Back Against RINO Romney’s Freddie Mac Attack    “I’m very comfortable with it being released,” Gingrich said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

You’re going to see the establishment go wild over the next week or two,” he said on “Good Morning America,” explaining that they are “very frightened” of “the idea of a Newt Gingrich presidency actually changing Washington.”

Answering The Attacks: Relationship with Freddie Mac     “After leaving public office, Newt Gingrich founded a number of very successful small businesses.  One of these small businesses, a consulting firm called The Gingrich Group, offered strategic advice on a wide variety of topics to a very wide range of clients.  One of these clients was Freddie Mac.  At no time did Gingrich lobby for Freddie Mac, or for any client, and neither did anyone in Gingrich’s firm.  This prohibition against lobbying was made clear to all Gingrich Group clients.  Nor did Gingrich ever advocate against pending legislation affecting Freddie Mac, as some articles have incorrectly alleged.  In fact, recent reporting from Bloomberg News on the Gingrich Group’s consulting services for Freddie Mac confirms that Gingrich and his firm were not paid to lobby and that Gingrich never acted as an advocate to stop any legislation or regulation affecting Freddie Mac.

“Furthermore, as the New York Times documents, Newt urged House Republicans to vote against the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“Newt is in favor of efforts to increase home ownership in America but as a conservative believes they must be within a context of learning how to budget and save in a responsible way, the opposite of the lending practices that led to the financial crisis.  You can watch a video from March 2008 of Newt warning about the danger of politicized decision making in the housing crisis here.

“As part of Newt’s Jobs and Prosperity Plan, Newt advocates breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and moving their smaller successors off of government guarantees and into the free market. ” Newt.org

Newt Gingrich Message To March For Life Participants    

“The truth that every person is created equal in the eyes of God, with equal value and worth and equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit his or her own future and destiny, is at the root of our system of law and government. Americans know this, and slowly but surely they are coming to terms with the irreconcilable reality of legalized abortion in our nation.

“A prominent commentator recently wrote, “That the pro-life movement is bigger is a given. It’s also younger, increasingly entrepreneurial, more strategic in its thinking, better organized, tougher in dealing with allies and enemies alike, almost wildly ambitious, and more relentless than ever.”

“Your marching today is evidence of that relentlessness.

“My commitment to you is twofold: first, to continue supporting your work to defend the rights of the unborn, and second, if elected President, to advance pro-life legislation, appoint judges who will stay true to the meaning of the Constitution, work to bring about an end to judicial tyranny, defend religious freedom, and work with allies in Congress and throughout the country who desire to bring about a day in which America restores legal protection to all unborn human life.

“Specifically, on day one of my administration, I will sign an executive order reinstating Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City policy that prevents taxpayer dollars from being used to fund abortions overseas.

“I will also oppose federal funding of any research that destroys a human embryo.

“I will work with Congress to repeal Obamacare, and will defund Planned Parenthood so that no taxpayer dollars are being used to fund abortions– but rather use that money to promote adoption and other pro-family policies.

“I will also support Congress enacting pro-life legislation that would grant protections under the 14th Amendment to the unborn, including legislation that would define personhood as beginning at conception.

“There was once a similar battle waged in America over whether the rights in our Constitution applied to all Americans, or only those selected or favored by the political class. It was during the battle to overturn the deeply engrained institution of slavery, something considered universally repugnant to us all today, that Abraham Lincoln said the following:

We will make converts day by day…  We will grow strong by the violence and injustice of our adversaries.  And unless truth be a mockery and justice a hollow lie, we will be in the majority after a while.  This battle … [will] be fought out on principle.

“Together, let us continue to work for the day when there will be no abortions for any reason, and that every unborn child will be welcomed into life and protected by law — from conception until natural death. May God bless each of you in your efforts to bring about this day.

“Thank You.” — GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich

Communist Occupiers Throw Bibles, Allegedly Urinate On Cross    “Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they began to throw Bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Dept. spokesman Carlos Manfredi explained to ABC News.

Staunch Conservative Tim Thomas Of The Boston Bruins Snubs Socialist Barack Obama   

Sarah Palin Slams Chris Christie For Getting His “Panties In A Wad” Over Gingrich    “Here’s a host that asked Chris, ‘Does Newt embarrass the party.’ I think he asked him twice, and there Chris played right into it and spewed that about Newt embarrassing the party,” Sarah Palin explained. “Sometimes if your candidate loses in just one step along this path, as was the case when Romney lost to Newt the other night and of course, Romney is Chris Christie’s guy, you kind of get your panties in a wad and you may say things that you regret later. And I think that that’s what Chris Christie did.”

Palin said that Christie’s remark “was reflective of a lack of self-discipline.”

“I’ve learned my lessons all along the way, too, and not responding, not playing into the media’s hands when they’re trying to get you to say something like is this candidate an embarrassment to your party?”

“I think if Chris were asked about some of his past actions, taking a state helicopter to his kid’s baseball game, some people may say, well, that sort of embarrassed your party, Chris. And he would then be on the receiving end of a comment that maybe he wished that somebody kept as an inside thought and not blasting that to the rest of the nation. He’s been in office a year or two is all, and he’ll learn that the media goad you. They want you to say things like that in order to boost ratings and make it more of a reality show-type scenario that we’re watching in the GOP primary. And a comment like that just kind of played right on into that narrative.”

He just produced an ad for the Democrats. If Newt is the nominee, he just handed them free this negative PR ad that they’re going to incorporate into their negative scenario against somebody who came out there against HillaryCare back in his day, who came out balancing budgets, working with a Democrat governor, who came out cutting taxes and trying to rein in government growth in order to put the country on the right track back then, and has intentions of doing that today.”

“No. We’ve got candidates in the GOP field that are going to be able to do the job for us. We need to be united. We can’t be spewing things about each one of these candidates just because maybe personally we have a bur under the saddle against one or two of the candidates and feed right into the Democrats’ hands and spew this rhetoric that is so completely negative and completely hurtful to what the cause is. The cause is to contrast the GOP candidates, the entire field at this point, with what it is that Barack Obama and the White House supports and reflects and really stands for. We’re going to make sure that we have the cream of the crop, rise to the top in order to contrast and take on Barack Obama.”

“If you look at the four of us,” he said, “we are proof that you can come from a wide range of backgrounds. And in America you have a chance to make your case no matter what the elites think in New York and Washington.”

RINO Romney Sends Newt A Cake To Celebrate What??? Nancy Pelosi’s Slimy  Politically Motivated ‘Ethics’ ‘Witch-Hunt’ Investigations!!!    On the very day that Republicans go to the polls to decide whether RINO Romney or Newt Gingrich ought to be their nominee, RINO Romney just had to try and stick it to Newt by sending him a cake according to a Fox News account, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Nancy Pelosi’s slew of dozens of  false and unfounded investigations, which was really a Democratic ‘witch hunt’ to try to derail the continuation of the Reagan Revolution, that Newt was trying to undertake by reforming welfare, balancing America’s budgets, creating conditions for the creation of many millions of American jobs and doing other great things FOR America and Americans. This just goes to show who’s side Romney is and was on, and that is Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party’s side, versus true Conservatives and the Republican Party. This IS just ANOTHER reason why I call Romney a RINO!!!

The Romney campaign sent out a press release earlier in the day marking the occasion, entitled “Happy 15th Anniversary, Mr. Speaker,” which included articles on the subject.

I’m tired of being in bondage to a tax system that robs U.S. citizens like the King of England did before the Revolution,” Norris wrote.”I’m tired of watching our sovereignty being sold by foreign loans and loose borders. And I will not sit back and merely watch this decay and degradation of the U.S. and then hand it over to my children and grandchildren to deal with.”

“President Obama has tried and failed miserably to fix our economy, deepening us and our posterity into more than six trillion dollars in additional national debt – something he criticized former President Bush for as ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘irresponsible.’ Yet unemployment rates remain at higher levels than when Obama was elected, and the dollar is as unstable as the Middle East. ”

Rome is burning, and we need to appoint the best firemen possible to rush in and put out her fury. What’s critical at this point is to appoint a commander-in-chief who can clearly lead America to a more solvent and secure future,” he said.

“No man or candidate is perfect. We all have skeletons in our closet. If buried bones became unforgiveable bones of contention, the world would never know or will never know another Benjamin Franklin, King David, and others like them,” he said.

Newt Gingrich Wins CNN GOP Presidential Debate    “Politico has Newt Gingrich seven points behind Romney among likely voters at 30%. After tonight’s debate, Gingrich may close that gap further. Romney floundered once again on the issue of his tax returns. He took a beating on both Romneycare and abortion. His confidence seems diminished.

Meanwhile Newt has this incredible way of segueing between attacks on Obama and attacks on Romney. Once again Newt is showing off his debating skills and his ability to sound reasonable while saying seriously crazy things all at the same time. His arrogance is galling but the crowd loves him.

This was a bad night for Romney and another win for Newt.E.D. Kain

Vote For The Winner Of The CNN Debate In South Carolina

“Newt Did Better” In The CNN South Carolina Debate    “I think Newt Gingrich did very well tonight. I think he knows it. He’s right. I’ve heard a number of people say that Rick Santorum had a really strong debate too and even that he ‘won’ the debate. Santorum was basically more on his game than I think I’ve ever heard him. He had a really good debate. I think Newt did better. But here’s the key: Gingrich is in a position to capitalize in a big way on a strong debate performance. I don’t think Santorum is. So it all comes down to a very strong performance by Newt — one I think will likely clinch a win for him on Saturday night, notwithstanding the tell-all interview coming later tonight.” — Josh Marshall

Newt Wins CNN Debate With Another Strong Showing   Though the candidates sparred with Gingrich on other issues, they apparently steered clear of the Gingrich’s ex-wife.

Let’s get onto the real issues, that’s all I’ve got to say,” said Romney.

An interview by his ex-wife, Marianne, is where she claimed that Newt e sought an “open marriage.”

The story is false,” Gingrich said.

Gingrich then confronted CNN moderator John King, who posed the question about Marianne’s claims.

“I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that,” Gingrich declared. “To take an ex-wife and make it, two days before the primary, a significant question in a presidential campaign, is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.”

I am frankly astounded that CNN would take trash like that and use it to open a presidential debate,” Newt added.

The candidates in near unison condemned a proposed anti-online piracy law that its critics say is way too aggressive.

Gingrich said the law pre-emptively censors the Internet on behalf of corporations, explaining that there are patents and copyrights to protect creators’ rights, in which case if someone is stealing, then the owners should sue under those existing laws.

After an attack by Santorum against Gingrich for the more Conservative label, Newt schooled Rick about history.

Long before Rick came to Congress I was busy being a rebel, creating a conservative opportunity society, developing a plan to win a majority in the Congress,” Gingrich said, saying that history is fact even if it’s “inconvenient for Rick’s campaign.”

Newt Gingrich Wins CNN South Carolina Debate In First Five Minutes   

“Newt Rampages, Romney Folds: Gingrich Won The Debate In The First Minute And Left Romney Looking Weak”    “Newt Gingrich won the debate in the first minute by casting himself as the victim not of a failed marriage but of a corrupt liberal media that is in bed with Barack Obama…Romney knew he’d be asked about releasing his tax returns. But unlike Gingrich, who was loaded for bear, Romney was came off as defensive, disingenuous, and dodgy.” —

Newt Gingrich Wins CNN South Carolina Debate By Slamming Obama-Friendly MSM    The former speaker, upset by the topic of his ex-wife and her claims, turned the subject back onto King and the media for talking about fake stories in the first place.

“I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for office, and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that,” Gingrich explained.

The article goes on to say that “many experts believe that he handled the explosive moment very well and might actually win the upcoming election based on his answer that played well with the crowd in the room and with voters.”

CNN’s King Get’s Spanked & Mitt Gets Challenged: CNN South Carolina Debate Recap    “Newt won this debate in the first three minutes, but his Achilles heel has always been his intellectual arrogance and perhaps that arrogance was a bit too pronounced at points.  Some voters may be turned off by that.  Santorum was a close second.  He fought like a man with nothing left to lose. Even if he goes home after Saturday the man deserves major kudos for going from someone who most Americans had never heard of to one of the final four candidates in a particularly bloody GOP primary battle.  He has earned my respect in this process.

Mitt Romney lost this debate if for no other reason than the expectations have been so very high for him for so very long.  It was a lackluster, stilted performance that will be sure to weaken him as the primaries get underway on Saturday.” —

Newt Gingrich Emerges As Master Of The Turnaround Line At CNN Debate In South Carolina    

Newt Gingrich Gets Two Standing Ovations!    “CNN’s John King wasted no time in going after Newt Gingrich over his ex-wife’s interview with ABC. When King asked him if he had any comment about it, Newt said, “No.” It won him an instant standing ovation.

“Gingrich received a second standing ovation when he said he was “tired of the elite media covering for Barack Obama.”

If Newt wins the nomination then this is the turning point.”

Gingrich, Santorum Shine, Romney Doesn’t At CNN Debate Before South Carolina Primary    “If Santorum and Gingrich had some of the strongest moments, Romney had some of the weakest.

“As he did at Monday night’s debate, Romney once again stumbled badly when asked if he would release his tax returns.

“Romney was at his most disjointed in answering that, saying he would release his 2010 tax return in April but sounding dodgy on when or if he would release earlier returns.

“When King asked if he would follow the example of his father, George Romney, who as a presidential candidate in the 1960s released 12 years’ worth of returns, Romney said “Maybe.” That was about as non-committal as you can get. He actually drew boos from the audience which caused him to pause in his reply for a few seconds.” – 

Poll: Rick Santorum Likely To Finish Behind Ron Paul In South Carolina    

Newt Gingrich Surges Ahead Of RINO Romney In New South Carolina Poll    Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has surged ahead of Mitt Romney in the final poll taken by Rasmussen Reports of the South Carolina Republican Primary race.

Likely GOP Primary Voters in the state support Newt with 33% to Romney’s 31%, versus two days ago Romney led the Conservative GOP candidate by 14 percentage points.

Ron Paul has 15% of the vote, followed by Rick Santorum at 11%, which is down five points since Monday.

Newt’s Favorabililty Rating Jumps To Plus 30, 64% to 34%   Gingrich’s net favorability rating has improved from +14 percent (55 to 41 percent) to +30 percent (64 to 34 percent). This while all of the other candidates’ net favorability ratings have dropped, with RINO Romney going from +40 (68 to 28 percent) to +34 (66 to 32 percent), Santorum from +33 (64 to 31 percent) to +22 (58 to 36 percent), and Paul from minus-6 (45 to 51 percent) to minus-16 (40 to 56 percent).

Propelled By Tea Party Support, Gingrich Takes Lead In South Carolina    “I think that increasingly the polling data indicates that I’m the only conservative who has the chance to beat Romney,” Gingrich explains. “If we can communicate that and get people to come in, I think the margin gets bigger and bigger. If you add up the combined total conservative vote in these polls, we would be beating Romney by a pretty impressive margin.”

“Santorum’s got to do what he wants to do,” he said. “Look, you all said I was dead in June and July. I didn’t get out of the race. No reason he should do it if he doesn’t want. He just came in ahead in Iowa today, ending Romney’s brief period as the only guy who carried both [Iowa and New Hampshire].”

“The number one thing we now know is that when this becomes a two-person race, that Romney has a huge problem because he’s too liberal for most Republican voters. Now that’s just an objective fact. Governor Perry helped today. I think the fact is that with each passing week, it’s become clearer and clearer. We’re going to do everything we can in the next 72 hours to win here.”

“Look, I think this is a decision you are going to have to make,” Gingrich replied. “I’ve been very open about the mistakes I have made. I have been very open about needing to go to God for forgiveness and to seek reconciliation. Callista and I have a wonderful relationship. We are very close to our two daughters and their husbands. We are very close to our two grandchildren, Maggie and Robert. I’m 68 years old. I am a grandfather. We entered this race—we had to think this through for a year. We knew we’d get beaten up. We knew we’d get smeared. We knew we’d get nasty attack ads. And we decided the country was worth the pain.” 

That last statement, according to the article, got an extended applause from the audience.

New Ad: romney ‘Desperate’


  

Newt Gingrich Counts On ‘People Power’ To Win South Carolina   “I fully expect the Romney campaign to be unendingly dirty and dishonest for the next four days because they’re desperate,” Newt explains. “They thought they could buy this. They’re discovering they can’t buy this. I think they have internal polls that show them losing. And I think they will do anything at any level. And I need your help. People power will beat money power, and I need your help to beat Romney.”
Sarah Palin: “Lame-Stream’s Ex-Wife Smear Of Newt, Will Ensure Newt Soars Even Higher”    “I call them dumbarses. They, thinking that by trotting out this old Gingrich divorce interview that’s old news — and it does feature a disgruntled ex, claiming that it would destroy his campaign — all it does, Sean, is incentive conservatives and independents who are so sick of the politics of personal destruction, because it’s played so selectively by media, that their target, in this case Newt, he’s now going to soar even more. Because we know the game now, and we just won’t put up with it.

So, good call media! Way to go to covertly hype this, even Gingrich opponents, for being so brilliant they sure are dumb.” — Sarah Palin

Rick Perry Drops Out, Endorses Newt Gingrich    “I believe Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country… Newt is not perfect, but who among us is? The fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek God – and I believe in the power of redemption for it is a central tenant of my Christian faith.”

Rick Perry Endorses Newt Gingrich For President, Newt Responds    Gingrich explained that he was “humbled and honored” to have Perry’s support.

“I ask the supporters of Governor Perry to look at my record of balancing the budget, cutting spending, reforming welfare, and enacting pro-growth policies to create millions of new jobs,” Gingrich said.

“President Obama’s decision to reject the XL pipeline weakens America’s national security and kills thousands of well paying American jobs.

Along with yesterday’s decision to cancel the long planned U.S.-Israeli war game, the Obama administration is signaling extraordinary national security weakness at a time when the Iranian regime is threatening to shut down the Straits of Hormuz.

President Obama has made it clear once again that he is committed to Saul Alinksy radicalism at the expense of working Americans. This radicalism is especially evident in today’s decision given that just 24 hours ago President Obama’s own Panel on Jobs and Competitiveness published a report calling for the creation of new jobs through the construction of pipelines like Keystone XL Pipeline and the expansion of oil and gas production.

At a time when American families and businesses are facing record high gas prices and a weak economy, the President has made clear that is not going to do anything to help them. I will grant the permit to build the Keystone XL Pipeline on my first day in the Oval Office, as well as unleash domestic energy production to strengthen the economy and create jobs.”

“As good citizens, we are commanded to diligently as good stewards to look carefully…in choosing a Commander in Chief,” Youssef said.

Newt is one of the few people in all of the United States…who truly understands the dangers that are surrounding our nation and Western Civilization. He is one of the few people who truly knows…the threat that is coming to our doorstep. “

“I’m couldn’t be happier in having Dr. Youssef on board,” said Newt Gingrich. “Our Faith Leaders Coalition will benefit tremendously from his leadership as a Pastor, a communicator, and an immigrant to the U.S.”Medal Of Honor Recipient Major General James E. Livingston, USMC (Ret) Endorses Newt Gingrich For President     A South Carolina Lowcountry resident, decorated war hero, and prominent member of America’s veterans community, General Livingston today withdrew his support of Texas Governor Rick Perry’s candidacy and announced he intends to promptly begin campaigning for Speaker Newt Gingrich. “I appreciate Governor Perry’s efforts, and adore him and his wife Anita. But I have come to the conclusion that Republicans need to get behind a conservative candidate who is developing the momentum needed to win in South Carolina and beyond,” General Livingston explained.

Commenting on his decision to support Newt Gingrich, General Livingston stated:  “The 2012 election represents one of the most important events in the history of this country. I believe Newt Gingrich is the firewall Republicans can rely on to block a liberal agenda that will destroy America’s position of strength in the world. It is imperative for Republicans in South Carolina and beyond to rally behind a conservative candidate who is capable of winning both the SCGOP and the national Republican primaries. Newt Gingrich has proven he is the strongest candidate among the conservative Republicans running for president. I look forward to helping Newt achieve a victory for all Americans who want to put our country back on the right track.”

Responding to this unexpected news, Newt Gingrich expressed his gratitude for General Livingston’s support. “I have known General Livingston for many years. He has been a friend and a trusted adviser. I am both honored to have him join our team and grateful for his support and confidence in my candidacy,” the Speaker remarked. “We look forward to working with patriots like General Livingston, and to offering Republican voters the strongest possible alternative to the Obama agenda.”

Gingrich Calls For Creation Of Commission On Gold To Examine How To Get Back To Hard Money    “We need to get our house in order.  And we need to vaccinate ourselves against foreign contagion.  The correct answer to the Euro is not to spend more American money propping up the Germans who prop up Southern Europe. The correct answer is to figure how we seal our banks off; how we make sure we protect ourselves and then say to the Europeans: you have a problem and you need to solve it.

“Part of our approach ought to be to reestablish something Ronald Reagan did in 1981 and that is to have a Commission on Gold to look at the whole concept of how do we get back to hard money.

“We need to repeal the Humphrey-Hawkins Act. We need to say to the Federal Reserve: your only job is to maintain the stability of the dollar because we want a dollar to be worth thirty years from now what it is worth now because that optimizes saving and investment because people know what they are going to back.

“The very purpose of founding the Constitution was landowners and property owners who did not want inflation. And they felt that under the Articles of Confederation they were increasingly getting inflated paper money.

“Hard money is a discipline.  It means you can’t just hide from your problems; you’ve got to solve them.  And you can’t inflate away your difficulties; you actually have to work them away.  But I think it is very important for us to understand in finance that the entire contraption that has been built up over the last thirty or forty years has so much paper in it, so much debt, so much leverage, that we probably have a fifteen or twenty year period of working our way out of it.” –  GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich

Below, Gingrich’s daughters issue a memo to ABC News:

To:  ABC News Leadership

From:  Kathy Lubbers, Jackie Cushman

Date:  January 18, 2012

The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved.  Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events. 

We will not say anything negative about our father’s ex-wife.  He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.

ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election.  But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future– about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism.  We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.

Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren – so they can inherit the America he loves.  To do that, President Obama must be defeated.  And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run – to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren’s future.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATES:OUTRAGEOUS!: IMPEACH OBAMA ASAP! Obama Rejects Pipeline For Political Reasons, Leaving America Vulnerable To Higher Gas Prices And Increased National Security Risks!!!    Please call your Representative like I did and call the for impeachment of Obama and that they would do everything they can to get this pipeline back on track. Thank you!
President Obama is about to destroy tens of thousands of American jobs and sell American energy security to the Chinese,” said Brendan Buck,  spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner. “The president won’t stand up to his political base even to create American jobs. This is not the end of this fight.”
Bill Clinton Seems To Want Romney Over Gingrich: Was He Sent To Dampen Gingrich’s Surge So Obama Can Defeat RINO Romney?    “I think Bill Clinton, Obama and most Democrats fear a Gingrich candidate rather than a RINO Romney candidate. Romney governed to the Left for abortion, the Radical Homosexual Agenda including Pride Days and being the Father of Homosexual Marriage in America, all the while running for the 2008 GOP nomination sounding like a Conservative. Romney ran to the Left of Ted Kennedy and called himself a Progress, all the while repudiating the Reagan Revolution, which Newt Gingrich helped to REINSTATE. causing even Leftist Bill Clinton to govern to the RIGHT on Welfare Reform and balanced budgets. Newt worked with both Reagan and Clinton to get over 20 million new jobs created through an atmosphere of pro-business policies. This is what Bill Clinton was sent out to do: defeat Gingrich who can beat Obama, for Romney, who CANNOT WIN, since true Conservatives won’t vote for a fraud that will continue this country down the road to Sodom and Gomorrah that Barack Hussein Obama, the Democrats and RINOS have put this country on. Go Newt!” 777denny
Jimmy Carter; Antisemitic, Anti-Israel, Anti-American And Claims Gingrich Has “That Subtlety Of Racism”    Jimmy Carter, who gave us the Iranian Revolution and 444 days of shame before Ronald Reagan put Iran in its place, has been trying of many years to become the WORST ex-president in American history. The antisemitic, pro-Islamic, anti-Israel, anti-American former President in the past said the Tea Party was also racist, with no proof whatsoever. What an embarrassment to America Carter is, until his last breath?
Gingrich Sees ‘Real Chance To Win’ South Carolina’s Primary     “I like Romney,” Turner, 29, said. “But I kind of felt like that particular event didn’t have the closeness or feel like he was really focused on issues that pertain to South Carolinians.”
“After today I’m starting to lean toward Newt as far as the primary vote because on different issues that stand out to me, how our military is run and the Second Amendment, I really felt that fire coming from him,” he said.
But Mr. Turner wasn’t alone, with several other voters, according to the article, who attended one or both of the events Tuesday morning expressed a renewed interest in Gingrich as a result of his strong performance Monday in Myrtle Beach.
I think we have a very real chance to win,” Gingrich told reporters after his event here. “If you consolidate the three conservative candidates, we clearly would have a huge margin over Romney. The challenge to me is to convince conservatives to come home and have a single candidate on Saturday.”
Gingrich Won’t Say If South Carolina Is His Last Stand    “I think every conservative should realize that South Carolina is the right place to make sure that a Conservative is the nominee,” Gingrich explained to CNSNews.com. “It’s clear if you look at the polls, the only conservative who can beat Romney in South Carolina is Newt Gingrich.
I hope that every conservative will decide to vote for me. If they do, we will win by a surprising margin,” Gingrich said.

Mitt Romney Did Not Govern As A Conservative Regarding Same-Sex “Marriages, Homosexual Adoptions: His Programs Promoted Homosexuality And Cross-Dressing To CHILDREN!!!    Through the “Report Card on the Natural Family,” produced by SaveAmerica.com, the national arm of SaveCalifornia.com, it’s been uncovered that Mitt Romney did not govern as a conservative regarding same-sex “marriages,” homosexual adoptions, and his programs promoting homosexuality and cross-dressing to children.

WHAT THE REPORT CARD DISCOVERED ABOUT MITT ROMNEY

ISSUE 1: Support protecting marriage licenses and marriage rights for only one man and one woman? Romney: NO. Documentation: In Massachusetts, Romney without any constitutional authority created homosexual “marriages,” personally issued 189 same-sex “marriage” licenses, and fired town clerks that conscientiously disagreed.

ISSUE 2: Oppose marriage substitutes, such as civil unions and domestic partnerships? Romney: NO. Documentation: As governor, Romney advocated for marriage-like “same-sex domestic partnerships” and even pursued legalizing “civil unions,” which would have awarded all the rights of marriage to homosexuals.

ISSUE 3: Oppose homosexual couples adopting children? Romney: NO. Documentation: As Governor, Romney spoke in favor of “adoptive parent rights” (2003) and “children born to same-sex couples, and adopted by same-sex couples” (2005), stated homosexuals have “a legitimate interest” to adopt children (2006), awarded “Parents of the Year” recognition to two homosexual men who had adopted a boy (2006), and recently reaffirmed his support for states that permit homosexual adoptions (2011).

ISSUE 7: Oppose supporting or commemorating “Gay Pride” or “LGBT Pride” events? Romney: NO. Documentation: As Governor, Romney issued and signed annual pro-homosexuality proclamations, stating in 2004, “Massachusetts is home to the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, which supports the Commonwealth’s gay and lesbian youth through school-based and educational programs.” In 2006, Romney’s administration issued a news release entitled, “THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE YOUTH PRIDE!” MASSACHUSETTS YOUTH PRIDE COMMITTEE TO TRANSFORM BOSTON COMMON INTO “RAINBOW CITY” FOR 12TH ANNUAL YOUTH PRIDE CELEBRATION.

ISSUE 10: Oppose teaching schoolchildren to support homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality? Romney: NO. Documentation: From his 1994 U.S. Senate campaign, to his years as Governor of Massachusetts, to the present day, Romney has supported pro-homosexuality-bisexuality-transsexuality indoctrination of schoolchildren.

Talk is cheap and campaign promises are a little better,” said Thomasson. “But what you’ve done in the past is the most reliable indicator of what you’ll do in the future. While most of the Republican presidential candidates claim to represent family and moral values, let the actual record show they are marching to different drummers on marriage rights, adoption, schoolchildren, obscenity laws, the military, the Boy Scouts, and the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual political agenda.”

Gingrich Defends Calling Obama ‘The Food Stamp President’    Juan Williams asked Gingrich if his comments weren’t “insulting to all Americans,” particularly, black Americans.

“They’d learn to show up for work,” Newt explained. “They could do light janitorial duties.”

Continuing with with Williams, he added, “Only the elites despise earning money.”

More people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than by any president in American history,” Gingrich explained. “Now I know among the politically correct, you’re not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable.”

Debate Crowd Erupts After Gingrich Obliterates Obama On Jobs    

Though Sarah Palin Won’t Endorse, She Says If She Were A Voting South Carolinian, She Would Vote For Newt Gingrich!    Speaking with host Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, though still not endorsing any GOP candidate, would vote for Newt Gingrich because of his strong debating style if she were a South Carolinian voting in the state’s presidential primary.

Nancy Pelosi: GOP Knows Mitt Romney Can’t Win    “If the far right thought that Romney could win, they might be more enthusiastic about him,” Pelosi told POLITICO’s Mike Allen. “But they question what he stands for and they don’t think he’s going to win. So what’s the sell? I’m not sure he knows what he stands for, and that makes it harder too.”

“I don’t know who knows him,” she said of Romney. “Does he know him?”

Gingrich And Juan Williams Food Stamp Exchange Brings Debate Crowd To Its Feet    Newt Gingrich rigorously and rightly defends his proper recent statement that ‘black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps.’

Newt Gingrich Sharpens Case Against ‘Moderate’ Romney As Nominee;     “I want to be very direct for a couple minutes,” Gingrich explained. “Unless a conservative wins on Saturday, we’re going to end up with a moderate nominee who in my judgment will have a very, very hard time defeating Barack Obama.”

“We better have someone who can draw a distinct line against Obamacare and not be confused, somebody who can draw a distinct line in favor of life and not be confused, somebody who actually has believed for more than three or four years what they currently believe and is not confused,” he further explained. “You have to have someone who is tough enough to go toe-to-toe with Barack Obama in the debates and win the debates.”

New Newt Gingrich Ad For South Carolina: Only Newt Gingrich Can Beat Obama

Newt’s Plan For America’s Enemies: “Kill Them”    After Ron Paul complained about “international law” surrounding American troops killing mass-murderer and Islamofascist leader, Bin Laden, Newt Gigrich gave a different answer that was NOT what our enemies want to hear.

Bret Baier asked Newt if he were president and received actionable intelligence about Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar being in Pakistan, would he act even if it caused an end to all U.S./Pakistani cooperation. Gingrich exclaimed, “Nobody believes that bin Laden was sitting in a compound in a military city, one mile from the National Defence University, and the Pakistanis didn’t know it.” He then invoked the memory of Andrew Jackson, who Gingrich said had a “pretty good idea about America’s enemies, ‘Kill them!’”

Newt Gingrich Highlight At South Carolina Debate Last Night


Beverly LaHaye Endorses Newt Gingrich For President    “It appears it will be between two front-runners, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. I have worked along beside Speaker Gingrich and know he has a history of being a strong conservative,” LaHaye explained.

“I have chosen to back him because he supports the key issues and values that I consider most important. I believe he is most capable of defending these beliefs as he exposes the liberalism of this present president.”

“I am honored to have the endorsement of Mrs. LaHaye,” Newt Gingrich said. “She is a proven leader from within the Christian community, and our Faith Leaders Coalition will benefit immensely from her guidance and involvement.”

What Can We Learn From Newt Gingrich’s Shining Moment    

“So let’s break it down one more time.
1) Directly and emphatically refute the typical preemption of categories the Left likes to engage in. “No, I don’t agree telling a hard truth is racist, sexist, bigoted, small-minded, etc…”
2) Turn it around and call them on their BS. “The fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.”
3) Tie the issue directly to a liberal in office. “There’s an area on I-73 that was called by Barack Obama as an area of shame…”
4) Give a positive alternative to the demoralizing and insulting Leftist fecal fertilizer. “You can own that job the way Newt just owned Juan Williams.”” — Repair_Man_Jack

Why Newt Gingrich Was Cheered    “New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in the school for the price of one janitor, and those 30 kids would be a lot less likely to drop out. They would actually have money in their pocket. They’d learn to show up for work. They could do light janitorial duty. They could work in the cafeteria. They could work in the front office. They could work in the library. They’d be getting money, which is a good thing if you’re poor. Only the elites despise earning money,” Gingrich explained.

“…Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history. Now, I know among the politically correct, you’re not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable,” further explained Gingrich.

Laura Ingraham Rips Mitt Romney, Praises Newt Gingrich On Debate Performance    “I do believe, though, on this issue of tax returns, it does not make Romney look good to kind of hem-and-haw and say ‘well, we’re looking at it, we feel like we’ve been well-exposed, I’m going to look at it again in April,’” she said. “It just looks like a politician.”

“He rocked it,” Ingraham said of Gingrich. “I’ve never seen him better,” Ingraham said.

Ken Ard Endorses Newt Gingrich For President in 2012    S.C. Lt. Governor Ken Ard endorsed Newt Gingrich’s presidential bid.

“South Carolina voters have a marked independent spirit that cannot be swayed by other’s opinions; thus, I have never been a fan of political endorsements, and I did not plan on making any formal announcements,” Ard said in a statement.

“This morning, however, I was asked whom I would support in the upcoming primary,” Ard’s statement continued. “Though there is an exemplary field of candidates, I am certain that one, more than the rest, has the attributes necessary to become the next President of the United States and to lead our country out of this crippling economic crisis. It is crucial for our nation’s prosperity that we elect the toughest, smartest, and boldest candidate possible.  That is why I will cast my vote for Newt Gingrich on Saturday.”

Courage In America: Newt Gingrich: Why’s Mitt Romney’s Waiting On Taxes?    “If you’re a South Carolinian, you say, ‘Wait a second, why don’t you want me to know about it? Why are you going to wait until after I’ve voted?’ Last night he conceded in principle that he owes it to the public to share it — strikes me he ought to do it before South Carolina votes,” Gingrich explained on CBS’s “This Morning.”

“Last night, frankly, weakened him a little bit, and his refusal to release his income tax weakened him some,” said Gingrich.

“That is true for all Americans … the context was I would love to be invited by the NAACP to come to their convention because the president has particularly failed to pay attention to the tremendous amount of unemployment,” said Gingrich. We’ve had 43 percent black teenage unemployment. That’s a disaster. It sets up a social pattern where it’s very hard for young people to get jobs, get in the jobs market.”

“I think last night helped with both of them,” Gingrich said. “It’s going to be a close run, but I think we can pull it off.”

U.S. Rep. David Rivera Campaigns Hard For Gingrich    Rivera is a Cuban-American who won his congressional seat in 2010 in part thanks to strong support from Cuban-American, absentee voters.

Newt Gingrich Wins South Carolina Debate, With Momentum For Strong Finish    

Newt Gingrich Wins Huge Praise For South Carolina Debate    “Gingrich’s performance was epic,” The Daily Caller said. “Newt delivers potentially game-changing performance.”

“It very well may have been the single best performance during any debate in the current cycle.”

The site explained that if Newt overcomes Romney and goes on to win the GOP presidential nomination, “analysts will look back and say the upset was sparked Monday night at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.”

Pollster Frank Luntz told Fox that Gingrich’s debate performance could produce “some movement” in the polls. “I’ve never seen it in a debate — and I’ve been to debates for 16 years — a standing ovation in the middle of a debate.”

“Remember there’s only five candidates up there so you would assume that only 20 percent would award them their support. But Newt Gingrich got a standing ovation, and he did it fighting with your own Juan Williams over the whole welfare issue.”

Asked by Williams whether Gingrich could understand why his comments that “black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps” and that “poor kids lack a strong work ethic” and perhaps should “work as janitors in their schools” were insulting to Americans — especially African-Americans — Gingrich said no.

No, I don’t see that,” he explained, the crowd responding wildly in approval.

“New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in the school for the price of one janitor, and those 30 kids would be a lot less likely to drop out.

“They would actually have money in their pocket. They would learn to show up for work. They could do light janitorial duty. They could work in the cafeteria. They could work in the front office. They could work in the library. They would be getting money which is a good thing if you’re poor. Only the elites despise earning money.”

Williams then asked Newt to respond to emails he got suggesting Gingrich intended to “belittle the poor and racial minorities.”

“Well, first of all, Juan, the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history,” Gingrich explained, to more enthusiastic applause.

“Gingrich challenged him over the elites who are opposed to making money. It just lit up the audience, and they continued to applaud right into the commercial break,” Luntz said.

It was everything that the establishment Republicans don’t want to hear and don’t want to see,” he said. “I have to say I think it was the best debate yet. It was Newt’s night, but they all did well.”

Obama doesn’t stand a prayer, if Newt were the nominee . . . in the debates.” Luntz explained.

Gingrich later gave what the Daily Beast called “a killer rhetorical blow.”

“Bin Laden plotted deliberately, bombing American embassies,” Gingrich said, “bombing the U.S.S. Cole, and killing 3,100 Americans, and his only regret was he didn’t kill more.

“Now, he’s not a Chinese dissident. A Chinese dissident who comes here seeking freedom is not the same as a terrorist who goes to Pakistan seeking asylum. Furthermore, when you give a country $20 billion and you learn that they had been hiding — I mean nobody believes that bin Laden was sitting in a compound in a military city one mile from the national defense university and the Pakistanis didn’t know it.” The crowd gave him a rousing round of applause after that.

Gingrich Wins Debate, Gets Standing Ovation — Human Events    “All voters should do their research instead of rely on the media to tell them who to vote for. I have also reviewed Gingrich’s website, read his profile on Wikipedia, reviewed his daughters comments regarding accusations made against him, and comments of aids who worked closely with him during his tenure in the House. I am convinced that he has the intellect, experience, proven legislative ability, understanding of American and Constitution values, and determination that we require to put this country back on the right course.

“True Gingrich has his spots, but he has admitted his mistakes, both in his personal and political life. But a little research indicates that of 84 charges made, only one involving writing a book or teaching a college course in violation of some house rule resulted in an agreement to forfeit the money earned. Looking at the time frame, I believe that both establishment Democrats and Republicans who were forced out of their go-along-to-get-along comfort zone were looking for any reason to remove him from the Speakers position. It seems ironic that legislatures can accept campaign donations, insider information, campaign donations, meals, travel but can’t actually earn money for rendering and educational service.

“It time that all conservative Americans recognize that we need a candidate that can not only beat Obama but will help return this Country to the values and constitutional government that we deserve. Gingrich is best qualified to do this.” — JQCitizen

Newt Gingrich Has A Nashua Moment In The S.C. Debate    “My take on this is I think Newt has turned the South Carolina race on its head with this performance.  It’s the kind of nightmare George H.W. Bush had to endure in 1980 that may unfold for Mitt Romney in the days to come.  Even though Romney is up huge in Florida, if Gingrich pulls off a win in South Carolina with Santorum and Perry (it pains me to say that regarding Perry) likely bowing out, there will be a real two man race for the nomination.  It would startle the voters in Florida and they would get curious as to why Romney lost South Carolina when everyone thought he had it wrapped up. Even worse for Romney, the excitement that Newt generated in that crowd in South Carolina could spread like a brushfire among conservatives.  I’m not saying this is going to happen, but it very well could.

“Newt might be the Honey Badger but I think he’s a political Lazarus.  He keeps rising from the dead.” — RealQuiet (Diary)

Gingrich Asks Santorum, Perry To Drop Out “Because We Have Got To Bring Conservatives Together”     “So I am respectful that Rick has every right to run as long as he feels that’s what he should do, but from the stand point of the conservative movement, consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy would in fact virtually guarantee a victory on Saturday,” Gingrich said Tuesday in Florence. “And I’d be delighted if either Perry or Santorum wanted to do that.”

“I think I’m the only conservative, if you look at the polling, I am the only conservative who realistically has a chance to be the nominee,” Newt explained. “So any vote toward Perry or Santorum in effect is a vote to allow Romney to become the nominee. Because we have got to bring conservatives together.”

“I actually know how to set up a conservative alternative to Obama in a way that will be very, very effective and very strategic. And I don’t think Santorum can do any of that. Again, it’s not because he isn’t a nice guy. He doesn’t have any of the knowledge for how to do something like this.”

Former Romney Adviser Predicts Romney Will Lose South Carolina      “There are high expectations for Romney to win a state which demographically he should not be winning,” explains Al Cardenas, who headed Hispanic outreach for Romney in the 2008 election. “I believe that for these very same reasons, it will be very difficult for Romney to win on Saturday despite polling information to the contrary.”

South Carolina has one of the strongest Tea Party movements in America with 60-plus active chapters and a very strong evangelical [Christian] presence as well,” he said, and argued that the state “clearly represent[ed] one of Mitt’s biggest challenges.”

Juan Williams Says Gingrich Won Debate    “I thought that he was very effective in playing to the audience last night,” Juan Williams admitted.” I think he won the debate, and I think he won the debate in large part because he answered the questions so effectively in a way that appealed to the political leanings of that audience.”

GOP Debate Reaction Round-Up    “Gov. Perry and Gingrich had the best night, overall.” — Mike Flynn, Editor, BigGovernment

Newt Gingrich won tonight’s debate. Rick Perry finished second, followed by Santorum, Romney, and Paul.” — Dana Loesch, Editor, BigJournalism

Mitt Romney was the loser tonight–not just because he was the obvious target, but also because he botched his answers to questions about his tax returns that he must have known were coming. Worse, he made a number of claims about his tenure at Bain that invite close scrutiny–is it really true that every Bain investment was aimed at growing companies and creating jobs, for example? I thought Newt Gingrich was very goodwhen he wasn’t talking about Bain, which has become a liability for him even more than for Romney.” –  Joel Pollak, Editor-in-Chief, Breitbart.com

The Case For Newt Gingrich     “He led us to victory before. Spectacular, historic victory. The strategy and content of his 1994 Contract with America propelled the Republicans to a 54-seat gain in 1994 to win control of the House of Representatives, which had been held by the Republicans for only two out of the previous 62  years. Even the Reagan Revolution in the 1980s failed to achieve that.

“Then, for all the caterwauling we have heard about how he handled the budget battles with Clinton, he led the House Republicans in 1996 to their first re-election as a majority since 1928, almost 70 years.

“Moreover, once in power, Gingrich delivered on his promises, and maintained a solid conservative record. He carried out the Contract with America in full, holding a vote on every item as promised, most of which did pass (which was not promised). His record was unswervingly pro-life, pro-gun and Second Amendment, and anti-tax. Indeed, he worked closely with the conservative activist groups on every one of these issues.

“Gingrich’s Balanced Budget: Succeeding Where Bush Failed
Contrary to the untouched by reality liberal/left talking points about how the 1993 Clinton tax increases led to balanced budgets, when the Gingrich majority took power in 1995, it was greeted by the 1996 Clinton budget still projecting $200 billion annual budget deficits as far as the eye could see, totaling $2.7 trillion over 10 years, confirmed by CBO. The House passed a budget bill providing for $1 trillion in spending cuts over the next 10 years, and that was almost 20 years ago when $1 trillion was still real money.” —

Why I Am Endorsing Newt Gingrich For President — Steave Deace    “Sadly, there are only two candidates offering a real means by which to actually undo that which the Left has done to this country for the past 50 years, and not just conservative platitudes. One of those candidates is Ron Paul, but his foreign policy is naive at best and reckless at worst. The other is Newt Gingrich, who has campaigned on what I believe is the most important issue facing us as a people—the loss of the rule of law.

“The Left has used unelected judges and judicial oligarchy to reinvent the American way of life, from secularism to the loss of the sanctity of life, to the redefining of marriage, the confiscation of private property, and the granting of imaginary rights. There is an entire chapter of my new book devoted to the need for conservatives and Christians to confront judicial oligarchy once and for all. I have spent the past two years of my radio program educating my audience on this issue, and was a vocal proponent of Iowa’s historic judicial retention election last year, and Newt’s assistance with that effort was vital.

“After offering every candidate in the race the chance to show they understand the gravity of this issue, Gingrich is the only one who has demonstrated he does, and can also use the bully pulpit of the presidency to educate Americans on the need to return to the rule of law.

“I understand Newt has taken positions and done things in his personal life I do not agree with, but to his credit he has come on my radio program and been very transparent about those things, and has shown humility and a willingness to be transparent in the process.” — Steve Deace

Why Todd Palin Endorsed Newt Gingrich

TODD PALIN: Well, watching Newt from the beginning of all the debates, I just appreciate how he got his poll numbers back up the old- fashioned way and bringing it to the debates. And the American people are impressed with his experience and message and ideas. So I just appreciated the fact that he didn’t have to spend a lot of money to do that because he wasn’t in a position to do that.

But I just felt that now would be a good time, we had a good choice in Iowa, New Hampshire is up tomorrow, and then South Carolina, but just to kind of if anything to let him know at least one Palin is behind him now.

VAN SUSTEREN: You mentioned Palin. He was out with my colleague Sean Hannity about an hour ago and he said this. He said that he had had some conversation with you, I don’t know when, but that he said Sarah said a few days ago Mitt was the weakest candidate we could put up. Your thought? Is that what the governor says is that Mitt Romney is the weakest candidate the Republicans can put up?

TODD PALIN: I’m not sure if she said that or not. She may have. But I think that, you know, we need to have the strongest candidate to go up against this machine. And again, he’s a proven reformer and he’s worked in the past with President Clinton and balance the budget. It was huge, and he can do it again.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you expect, by the way, the governor to be making an endorsement anytime soon?

TODD PALIN: I’m not going to speak for her. You’ll have to ask her when and if she does get behind a candidate. But for right now, at least there’s one Palin behind Newt.

Tim LaHaye Endorses Newt Gingrich    “During the last three years our nation has been led by liberal secularists who have tried their best to remove God from our public square and the elimination of the Biblical principles our founding fathers built this nation on” said LaHaye.

“Please prayerfully consider going to the polls on January 21 and help elect Newt Gingrich, a proven conservative who has the best chance of replacing the present occupant of the White House with a man with a proven record of appointing conservatives to office that can return this country to the constitutional principles that God has chosen to bless for over two hundred years” he said.

“It seems apparent the Republican candidates have come down to two possible winners,” LaHaye said.

“As my friend, the late Dr. Jerry Falwell told me personally, ‘Speaker Newt Gingrich is the most qualified man in America to run as president of the United States”… We agree!’”

“I am honored to have Tim’s endorsement. His work as both a minister and author is truly unmatched,” said Gingrich. “Tim will be a terrific partner for the Gingrich Faith Leaders Coalition as we work to combat the influence of radical secularism and activist judges.”

LaHaye will join the rapidly growing coalition launched yesterday, led by Christian market researcher, George Barna. It also includes Dr. Jim Garlow, the California pastor behind the Proposition 8 Battle, Congressman J.C. Watts, Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, and Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel.

The Case Against Mitt Romney     “The reality is that Romney’s record may go down in history as one of the most liberal gubernatorial records compiled by any Governor of either party in modern history. Indeed, the evidence is strong that Romney can be said to be the father of gay marriage, of Cap and Trade, and of government-controlled health care. How can one have played such a key role in the promotion of three of the left’s most important issues and yet become the GOP frontrunner? That’s the million-dollar question we all should be asking ourselves.

“The standard narrative regarding Romney’s handling of the Goodridge same-sex marriage decision is that the State Supreme Court forced Romney to implement same sex marriage in Massachusetts. But that’s not what happened. Massachusetts is unique in that its state constitution specifically lists marriage as a policy area reserved to the legislative branch, but the court illegally tried to order the legislature to change the marriage statutes. However, even the liberal dominated legislature resisted the unconstitutional encroachment on its enumerated duties and refused to change the marriage statutes. Amazingly, to this day, the statutes continue to refer only to male/female marriage despite efforts made every legislative session since 2004 to change it.

Contrary to Team Romney’s propaganda, the legislature never acted on this issue, yet Romney repeatedly referred to the court opinion as “law.” And though the court never ordered the governor to do anything, Romney came to their rescue and unilaterally ordered his Town Clerks and Justices of the Peace to marry same sex couples. Homosexual marriage exists in Massachusetts today solely due to Romney’s executive actions. This constitutes one of the most outrageous examples of executive branch activism in modern history.

“But Romney – mindful of his impending presidential campaign – pretended he was forced to implement gay marriage and called for a constitutional amendment to reverse the Goodridge decision. He was clever enough to entice national pro-family groups to hold a large rally in Boston in 2006 – near the end of his term — to push for an unnecessary and hopeless marriage amendment. As Romney expected, the rallies received great television coverage and national media attention.

“However, while Romney was being portrayed as a champion of traditional marriage, internal administration documents reveal that two years previous to the rally his administration was quietly making all the administrative changes necessary to implement same-sex marriage. This was sickening.” — Steve Baldwin

Romney To Wheelchair-Using Medical Cannabis Patient: I Don’t Support Medical Marijuana. Bye    An 80 lb man with muscular dystrophy in a wheelchair is shown on the video explaining to Mitt Romney that his qualified physician believes that medical marijuana is the only medication that helps him. Mr. Romney tells him he should take synthetic marijuana, but the man explains to him that this makes him violently ill. The man then asks Romney whether he believes that he and his doctor should be arrested over medical marijuana, and Romney just turned his back on him and walked away. This is compassion?

Romney is a RINO that when asked about industrial hemp, didn’t know what it was. This is a person who seems very callous when it comes to people and their pain who use cannabis to control it. Those who continue with the EVIL, racist, counterproductive, greed-driven War on Drugs will be guilty of the innocent blood that is daily being shed to enforce it, even though the U.S. Constitution doesn’t instruct to ban products, making criminals out of ordinarily law-abiding citizens. We were given the absolute RIGHT to control our own bodies, and this includes digesting or smoking whatever we wish that does not violate the Creator-given rights of Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Assembly of others. Cannabis has been legal about 99% of the time it has been known to mankind. A thriving hemp industry could create MILLIONS of jobs in a very short period of time, while saving our trees. Hemp is NOT a drug, but widely used in the U.S. and around the world. Newt at least said he would not arrest those who use drugs recreationally. Go Newt!

More South Carolinians Wary Of Mitt Romney’s Corporate Side    “I think he [as president] would be more, basically, out for himself — and not for us,” explained Buchanan, a regional manager for Zaxby’s fast-food chicken.

“Obviously, he’s made a lot of money,” said Buchanan, who plans to vote Saturday for Newt Gingrich in South Carolina’s Republican primary. “And there’s been maybe a little bit of foul play. I don’t know that to be a fact. A lot of times, for people to get into a position that he’s in, they’ve had to step on some toes along the way, maybe bend some rules.”

He’s got all these big-money backers — the Wall Street bankers and that kind of thing,” Deama Fulmer, a 52-year-old Republicanshe said. “I’m not really pleased with the way the country’s been run by big corporations and PACs. They don’t seem to really care about regular people.”

“He talks about creating all those jobs, but he fired as many as he hired, it looks like,” said Boozer, a retired truck driver.

“I feel like he’s a little too ‘big corporation,’ ” Poole said. “Down here, we’re more into the smaller guys than the bigger guys.”

Michael Youssef, pastor of Atlanta’s Church of the Apostles, Defends Newt Gingrich    “Newt Gingrich is trying to heal our nation not divide it,” Michael Youssef, pastor of Atlanta’s Church of the Apostles, expalined. “If he were to lead this nation, the poor, the unemployed and the homeless might find hope and a new direction as we see our nation healed. There is nothing racial or racist about wanting to turn around our economy and help those without work find jobs and support their families. I commend him for it,” Youssef said in an emailed statement.

Youssef even issued an additional followup statement.

“I’m not sure what playbook they are talking about when you consider black unemployment is off the charts,” he said in the statement. “Too many Americans, especially minorities, are suffering because of a lack of leadership by the Obama administration.”

“Newt’s concrete ideas to turn our economy around will create jobs and allow people to start supporting their families again. Every individual without a job would rather cash a paycheck than have food stamps in their wallet. Newt wants all Americans to have the opportunity to find a job,” Youssef added.

Four Evangelical Leaders Reaffirm Support For Gingrich    “It is unfortunate that early press reports incorrectly stated that there was a consensus for Santorum, or that the ’150 leaders endorsed Santorum.’ Such was not the case. Many there were and still are for Newt Gingrich,” said a statement issued Monday by J.C. Watts, a leading African-American conservative, George Barna, a prominent Christian political analyst, the Rev. Jim Garlow, pastor and a leader of the campaign against same-sex marriage, and Richard Lee, a prominent Baptist pastor in Atlanta.

“While we truly respect both Rick Santorum and Rick Perry, we believe Newt Gingrich to be the only candidate that has the intellectual strength and the capacity to stop the left’s attack on morality, the economy, basic freedoms and our religious liberty.”

The statement added: “In addition Mr. Gingrich is the social conservative that has the capacity to raise funds and produce a national organization that would allow him to compete with and defeat Barak Obama. For the sake of the nation, we remain steadfastly committed to Newt Gingrich.”

Gingrich Rebounds In South Carolina, Receives Rep. J.C. Watts’ Endorsement    Gingrich and members of his staff descended the steps from the doors of the South Carolina Statehouse last Thursday to greet a cheering crowd after a rousing endorsement from former Oklahoma Republican Congressman J.C. Watts.

Only 9 Votes Seperated Newt Gingrich From Santorum In First Ballotd    “The media is misrepresenting the result of the meeting of Christian conservative leaders in Texas. Only 9 votes separated Gingrich and Santorum on the first …”

Awakening To Ron Paul’s Crony Capitalism    “What is relevant is Ron Paul’s role in herding the stray sheep of politics, upset at the Republicans or Democrats, towards a false paradigm of economics. What is important is how brainwashed, militant, and intellectually dishonest these supporters of Ron Paul are. They resemble fascists, promoting a crony capitalism which resembles a new type of feudalism, while calling themselves defenders of capitalism, free markets, and classical liberalism. They do not listen to what you have to say. They are not there to learn. They are there to beat a drum of free markets and anarchy while at the same time they promote corruption of free markets by the government, without even being aware that is what they are doing. You can’t even crack a joke about Ron Paul without them going ballistic.

“Some people defend Ron Paul on the basis that he is a gateway to the proverbial red pill from The Matrix. This is somewhat true. I was a card-carrying member of the Libertarian Party until I left the party in 2001, mostly because I felt it had a brainwashing effect. I was amazed at Ron Paul’s popularity during the 2008 elections. I started to poke around YouTube to find out why he became so popular. What I discovered was people talking about the CFR, 9/11, the New World Order, and Alex Jones.

“It was an interesting journey. It took me awhile to come to terms that 9/11 was an inside job. I did not want to believe that it was possible for such to be an inside job. However, the hard science and all the soft evidence indicated it could have been nothing else but controlled-demolition. Alex Jones opened me up to a lot of things. After I predicted the collapse of the Dow and the swine flu outbreak,  I stopped listening to Alex Jones. I had watched Zeitgeist and Bill Still’s documentary and started to really think about monetary policy. This is when it finally hit me that Ron Paul was a Benedict Arnold.” — Keith Gardner

Ron Paul Is Truly Dangerous    “A Wall Street Journal columnist notes that Paul is “a leading spokesman for, and recycler of, the long and familiar litany of charges that point to the United States as a leading agent of evil and injustice, the militarist victimizer of millions who want only to live in peace.”

Perhaps this warped view is why Paul believes that al-Qaida terrorists caught in the United States ought to be treated as common criminals, not enemy combatants. He wants them read Miranda rights to which they are not entitled and he wants them tried and sentenced in civil courts rather than by military tribunals.

This is nothing short of nuts. What is needed to competently fight a war, and al-Qaida is indeed at war with us, is the ability to gather information. Telling the enemy that it has a “right to remain silent” is absurd.

“Paul believes that if a U.S. citizen throws in with al-Qaida or associated groups overseas, where he plots American death and destruction, we need to somehow find him, arrest him, and bring him back to stand civil trial here rather than eliminate him, even if that is the only option.

“We are in a much different kind of war than we have ever faced, but Paul doesn’t see it. He has repeatedly said that U.S. aggression is responsible for 9-11 and other attacks on America from radical jihadists.

He has repeatedly said that we should allow Iran to continue to develop a nuclear weapon. This is the same country whose leadership vows death to America, the “Satanic power,” and who wants Israel wiped from the map.

“Never mind Paul being the favored candidate of the lunatic fringe (see white supremacists, anti-Semites, truthers, etc.). Never mind his refusal to disavow a third-party run (which would only help President Obama’s reelection).

“His defenders say they admire Ron Paul’s “consistency.” It is true, Paul has been consistently spouting this nonsense.” — JOSEPH W. McQUAID

Gingrich To Conservatives: Vote For Newt Over Santorum, “The Only Candidate Capable Of Stopping A Moderate From Winning The Nomination”     “Any Conservative who votes for anyone but Newt helps elect a moderate as the nominee.”

“Ask yourself this simple question: Why would you want to nominate the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama?”

“The only reason [Romney] is electable right now is because he has raised more money from Wall Street to buy more ads than anybody else in the race, and we’re not going to win that game,” Gingrich said. “If you count how much money you can raise as the number one test of electability, Obama’s going to drown him.”

“If you’re a conservative, just look at the polls. I am the only candidate capable of stopping a moderate from winning the nomination,” explained Newt.

Evangelical voters would like to have a nominee that will win a general election, and somebody who set the all time Pennsylvania record for the size of their defeat has a harder case to make as to why they could be elected,” Gingrich told reporters.

“If you vote for Sen. Santorum, in effect you’re voting for Gov. Romney to be the nominee because he’s not going to beat him. And the only way you can stop Gov. Romney for all practical purposes is to vote for Gingrich. That’s just a fact and it’s a mathematical fact now.”

Newt Gingrich: “A Reagan Conservative Tough Enough And Strong Enough To Stand Up To [President] Obama And Then To Stand Up To Washington”    “The key question we have to decide on Saturday is whether we’re going to nominate, from South Carolina, a Reagan conservative tough enough and strong enough to stand up to [President] Obama and then to stand up to Washington. Or whether we’re going to have conservatives split three ways and nominate somebody who had no history in Boston of changing the culture of Massachusetts at all,” Gingrich said.

“To do that, we have to unify the tea parties and we have to unify the conservatives in a very straight forward way.”

Tea Party Slams Romney, While Activist Michael George Explains: “The Tea Party Must Join Behind One Candidate Or Romney Will Win The Nomination And Obama Will Win”     Speaking to the crowd, Texas-based activist Michael GeorgeGeorge blasted Romney, claiming the candidate still defends “Romneycare.”

There’s only one person who can beat Obama in debates and that’s Newt Gingrich,” George explained. “Romney’s going to lose to Obama…That’s my view.”

George showed the large image  with about a dozen dead seals laying lifeless in bloody waters, with a seal hunter grinning in the middle of the image.

The caption read: “If the seals had joined, they could kill the hunter. They were divided and he clubbed each to death.”

“The Tea Party must join behind one candidate or Romney will win the nomination and Obama will win.”
