Whining? .....What about that big group-whine that we heard, when Newt and that Newt PAC did those negative ads about Bain Capital?

.

The DNC media is not going to leave Mitt's record alone in the general, if he's the nominee.

Someone on HotAir last night got this one 100% right, and why it's so disgusting an attack.  Remember, this is the "true con / Tea Party" candidate in the race (or so Sarah Palin tells us):

*****

The worst and most revoltingly hypocritical aspect of the “ZOMG ROMNEY HATES THE JEWS!” argument coming from Gingrich now, in his final despair, is that he is criticizing Romney for attempting to cut wasteful government spending. That’s right: Newt Gingrich, True Conservative Tea Party Hero, is attacking supposed Big Government Spending RINO Mitt Romney for trying to slash government subsidies and spending…and attacking him as a crypto-anti-Semitic religious bigot, no less.

Newt just canÂ’t help attacking from the Left. ThatÂ’s just how he rolls, b*tches.

So if I want to dine on a menu of filet mignon, lobster and brie when I get in a nursing home I guess Newt will be there to have the state pay for it for me.

Thanks Newt!

Hey, at least SMOD is putting out a consisent position.

Seriously, that's what the robocall is about, seriously?  Sheesh, why do all the candidates have to be so freaking lame about these kind of attacks.  At least go for the bathes in virgin blood thing.

None of these stiffs has any core values whatsoever.

SMOD, on the other hand, has a core of iron.

The Nazis started the genocide. Mitt's going back for seconds.

Holocaust on your plate, gramps. That's The Mitt Romney Difference!

I cited that as a good observation, and I still do think that's a problem.

However, I'm getting the same feeling about Newt."

Exactly, except Noot has about ten more kilotons of baggage than Mittens. It's the winner of Douche vs. Douchelight to take on SCOAMF.

Ace, honey......you have made some brilliant arguments in recent weeks, about how Romney is "not the guy" that we should run against the JEF.  .....The most recent one was the one about how we would be forfeiting the right to condemn Obamacare, if Romney was our nominee. ....Remember that one?

.

Those really good arguments are still in our memory banks. ....How do we delete them now? ....Help us out here. .....Some of us are having trouble being assimilated into the Mitt Collective.

wheatie @28:

This is not an argument in favor of Mitt, I don't think.  It's more of a lamentation about the complete shittiness of all our choices.

Posted by: Newt 2012! Campaign Team at January 31, 2012 02:37 PM (5Rurq)

Ha, that will be Newts next attack. "Romney mandated that food for retired jews be prepared in an oven!"

Ah the Joos again. Always the victim. Nothing a little contraception won't help.

Eh, it's a moot point anyway. I'm on the SMOD/Coldcuts bandwagon now.

I knew you'd come to the meteor side. The power of sprinkles compels, man.

If Ace had just let Ron Paul put all the Jews into ovens, we wouldnÂ’t even be discussing this.

Newt just tweeted that he'll save ALL the manatees, whatever they are.

Motherfucker, don't make me like something about Newt.

hehehe..

By the way, Newt the outsiders interpretation of a "cut" is different from most of us. Romney vetoed a bill for additional spending he didn't cut anything and kosher food would still be available at no cost, it would just be catered instead of prepared on-site.

In Newt speak though if you don't give me extra money it's a cut.

I heard that Romney supports burning Gypsy encampments and sending retards to generate power by walking on treadmills.

Why has he not gotten the Moron endorsement?

Newt...a wolf in Pillsbury Dough Boy clothing.

Yes yes.....I got it. .....All of the remaining candidates suck. ....The suckage is so great that it is approaching the level of a singularity in the space/time continuum.

.

Which is why.......I keep saying....."We should be looking at what the DNC media will use against each of these guys".

.

How about some analysis of that?  .....Some in-depth, throw it all out there, let's-talk-about-this, leave nothing out....analysis of what's the worst that the Dem-propaganda-machine will come up with against these guys in the general.

The good news is that Mitt and Newt are going personal because there is a surprising agreement among conservatives about what needs to be done.  Keep Social Security and Medicare for those over 55, take steps to make it more private and flexible for everyone else.  Repeal Obamacare.  Etc.  Against Obama they'll be able to distinguish themselves more.

The other good news is that personal attacks work and our guys are good at 'em.  Though no one is quite as good as Paul's team, those guys are vicious.

Well, if he advocated that bit about burning Gypsy encampments I'd be fully on board.  Those people are a nuisance.  I spoke to an Englishman about that about a year ago - I was shocked at what those vile nomads are allowed to get away with over in the UK.  They're vermin.

And if you join now, you get a free stoning of the whore of your choice!

To show his solidarity with Jews in standing up to Romney's vision of Judenfrei dining rooms, Newt Gingrich had himself circumcised. Again.

First, it was that leftwing attack on equity funds. Which I joined, of course, as I thought it was pretty important we have a genuine, instinctual conservative as a candidate. Even though that candidate was joining in this Hail Mary stuff about "vulture capitalism."

Um, that's disgraceful.  You should be ashamed.  You're as much admitting that you were lieing to us for political advantage.

Don't lie to us.

100 ....In his most recent ad Newt promised that after building his moon base, every retiree will be given a free Helium-3 powered golf cart via Medicare.

As for his economic plan, he has a visionary new idea that will re-invigorate the bingo industry.

.

You do realize.....that Romney, being a Mormon, believes that God lives on the planet Kolob. .....And that if he is a really good Mormon, and doesn't stray from his training, he can achieve god-like status and rein over his very own planet?

.

I am sure that this will not be brought up in the general, though. 

.

Newt has said, that a revitalization of the space program....through incentives for business....would inspire kids to get into Math, Science and Engineering.....like it used to do, when we led the world in those areas. .....So, what is wrong with that?

Posted by: wheatie at January 31, 2012 02:49 PM (UOOK1)

I am sure it will be along the lines of "Romney cuts kosher food from holocaust survivors" and "Romney killed jobs at Bain Capital for his own evil profit"

Sound familiar?

I will not participate in debates moderated by reporters.

Or any other debates really.

Could Newt cause nay more damage. He is completely out of control. I don't know what people are thinking in supporting him. If you could imagine the worst possible candidate to be the GOP nominee, Newt would be the perfect choice. He is as narcissistic as obama and has taken many liberal positions.

Forget gravitas.  I want a President with measurable gravity.

I always get in late to these...

The thing is, Newt's not going to be the nominee, Mitt is.  So we can sit around all day making fun of or attacking Newt for the dumb things he says, but we've got 10 months until the election.  We either make Mitt responsive to the wishes of his eventual voters, or we have no right to complain when (if) he gets into office and governs in a manner that is intolerable.

Now is the time to hold his feet to the fire.  If Newt is a means to do that, then yeah, I'll sit here today and tell you how awful Mitt is, and how Newt can do no wrong.

Posted by: Jimmah at January 31, 2012 03:34 PM (TMeYE)

Don't exaggerate.  It was a slap-fight.

Actually, this is working out just fine.

Mitt and Newt are both headed into states that they will perform well in.  The delegate split will keep one or the other from dominating early and Santorum will hang on just in case someone self destructs.  Everything is pointing to a brokered conventionÂ….  Excellent.

Once at the convention, it will be determined that the scorched earth campaign has damaged all the present candidates too much and since there will be hard feelings on all sides, the only option will be a shiny new candidate.

Without all the time for the media to destroy whoever it turns out to be, our candidate can be the one everyone projects their best attributes on, just as Obama was the enigma in 2008. 

Life is good.

Posted by: MikeTheMoose Camellia Sinensis Operative at January 31, 2012 03:36 PM (0q2P7)

NBC/Marist did a poll last week, if Santorum drops out Romney and Gingrich split his vote almost evenly and Romney gets to 49%.

I voted for Santorum today. 

He laid out a great case for how having a supporter of individual mandates as our candidate takes Obamcare off the table, and how we can't give up that argument. 

And he rose above the Mitt/Newt mudfest to look like the adult in the room. 

I know it's a real long shot for him to capture the nomination, and it's a shame he hasn't caught on. But his message on Obamacare needs to stay in this race front and center for as long as he can afford to stay.  And who else in the race is going to talk about it so plainly and without nuance?

Regardless, it was a great feeling to vote FOR someone in a Presidential race, rather than AGAINST the other guy(s) as a strategic measure. That doesn't happen too often. 

However . . . I will crawl through broken glass to vote AGAINST Obama in November.  I don't care who his opponent is.  SCOAMF must be defeated.

Seven kinds!

Baseball Crank observed, with regard to Romney's changeable politics, that if we ended up with him as a candidate, we'd wind up defending him and nothing else. Because we'd have to contort ourselves so to champion him that there wouldn't much much of conservatism left, apart from Mitt Romney himself.

We did precisely this for 8 years on W's domestic policy. We're experienced.

347 -

It may not look like it at the time, but most election cycles, if you do an after action report, you can see where there was little (if any) way to have gone in a different direction.  So yeah, this time in '08 there were people talking about how to beat McLame, but he got 30something percent in Florida, and it started creeping (pun intended) up into the 40s, and before too long the steamroll was down the path. 

It's just the way it is.  The R party is conservative in that it selects the obvious front-runner, whether that person's views are conservative or not (which obviously, they usually aren't).

Uhm, no, no, no.  Mormons have a ceremony in their temples where you symbolically return to heaven and God's presence.  The room that symbolically represents heaven is called 'the celestial room' and its usually used for contemplation and prayer.  You can contemplate whatever you like, usually problems in your life that you need divine guidance on.

Mormonism isn't nearly as strange in reality as it is if all you know about it is cherry-picked fragments in a distorted form.  If you really must act as an expert on Mormonism on the internet, read up on it at mormon.org or visit your local Mormon church, which is open to the public.

Huntsman lost his one – his father – who knew he was an asshole before he started his campaign.  NewtÂ’s got a sugar daddy who could finance the primaries and the general all by himself and never feel it.  Mitt has the network that will pump as much in as needed and Santorum will continue with the help of the social right.

And our buddy Ron Paul will stay in because heÂ’s got nothing to lose and plenty of money to do it with.

Its 57 in Ohio today.  It's here.  Ned Stark is a liar.

I agree. a good willed, actual moderate peaceful muslim friend of mine in High School convinced me to read the Koran (I wasn't looking to be converted but I like reading up other cultures) and anything goofy or disturbing in the Bible pales in comparisson to that book

You mean they have abandoned Wordstar 4.0?

I'm not all that thrilled about Romney being the last man standing (until SMOD arrives, when *no one* will be standing,  heh heh heh) but y'all who think that anyone else has a chance are deluding themselves.

If Romney wins today and its not a virtual tie, there's no chance anyone else is pulling off a win, or even that we'll get a brokered convention.

Where does Paul's money come from? Is it donations? Do people actually give him that much money? Or is the stoner donation group really that flush?

Ron Paul has a group of really devoted followers who keep him pumped up with money.  No big donors, just a lot of small givers who keep on giving.

I remember a time in the Bahamas when a cold front came through and dropped the temp down to 62 degrees.  People were building fires and huddling around them.
