Gingrich Impatient With Media And Promising To Focus His Frustration On Romney In N.H.
This week, The DRUDGE REPORT featured a photo of Newt Gingrich accompanied by the caption, “Out For Blood.”
An article by POLITICO.com reveals that Evangelica leaders are planning a strategy session in Texas this weekend to determine WHOM to back of the remaining” believing” candidates for the GOP nomination.
Rick Santorum, fresh off his outstanding finish in the Iowa Caucus, is charging Mitt Romney with not being a “true conservative.” Santorum will have to find a way to back away from the fact that he endorsed Romney in 2008.
Rick Santorum Riding A BIG Bounce Out Of Iowa
Yesterday, John McCain jumped on Newt Gingrich for calling a fellow Republican ” a liar.
Ron Paul continues to keeps it simple. Everyone is out to destroy the nation…except him!
Now that there has actually been a Primary Election, candidates are taking the gloves off. This weekend’ s pre-New Hampshire GOP debate is going to resemble a round of the teenage game, “Paint Ball,” and Mitt Romney is likely to get soaked.
Saturday Night's New Hampshire Debate Will Be Contentious....
It’s great to win, but Romney is now the Blue Plate Special.
One fascinating development, Christian leader and former Presidential candidate, Gary Bauer, stated in an interview yesterday that he is not interested in forming a line to oppose Mitt Romney. After Tuesday’s direct opposition to the Romney candidacy this is a fascinating statement from the influential religious leader. This from Politico:
“Bauer said a meeting planned for this weekend by social conservative leaders to find a “consensus” candidate was not intended to be a strategy session for how to take down Romney. Even as some attendees claimed that was just the idea behind convening the eleventh-hour meeting in Texas, Bauer said he’d withdraw from participating if it was intended to plot against the former Massachusetts governor.
Family Leader's Bob Vander Plaat Wants Santorum, Period.
One conservative who was invited, though, said this was exactly what the group ought to be doing. Bob Vander Plaats, who endorsed Rick Santorum and predicted a landslide for him in Iowa, thinks that ALL Christian leaders must line up behind Rick Santorum and plans to push for it during the Texas meeting.
“It’s what they should have done in 2008 with McCain, but they were too weak.” said invitee.

whether you agree with ron paul or not he is the only candidate that is uniquely distinctive from the rest of the field. i found your remarks about ron paul to be a little snide and elitist. he is the only candidate that votes his conscience no matter what the circumstances. what has he said about the rest of the republican field that isn’t true? who out there besides ron paul can show a consistent conservative voting record? which of the other candidates has a national platform to run on? which if any of the other candidates are not globalists with an expansionist agenda? for instance, prove to me that our foreign policy is not the reason for our current level of danger from terrorism and other threats. i have not seen one single pundit out there that has even come close to proving ron paul’s foreign or domestic policy platforms wrong. i agree 100% that they are out of the mainstream. perhaps that is our answer to our problems, to not just kick the can down the road as the status quo would have us do. ron paul also has an overwhelming amount of support from our active military. you need to stop passing out the kool-aid for everyone to swallow. it is not working.
What happened to Gingrich’s message to keep the Rep debates ‘positive’? And what has happened to our campainging………the meaner, uglier, rude, or “gottcha” the comments are to one another…….that’s now common and accepted. I would like to see the candidates talk about what THEY will do, not what they think about SOMEONE else. Can we still not be civil in the Republican Party. That’s a shameful way to treat each other……politics or no politics.
Thanks Patrick for a different view and, a thoughtful one.
