The trick is that Newt is not beholden to the republican party and so would not be theirs to control. A newbie like Romney is just up their alley. Their dilemma is that Romney is a long shot against Obama given his corporate ties.

Leftist attacks? It has been Romney and his campaign who has been tearing down every one of the candidates from day one. Most notably Herman Cain. Newt, in contrast, was the only one staying on message reminding us at each debate that Obama should be our focus and that infighting will do us no good.

What's more is that the left has all but admitted that they would prefer to run against Romney as he IS the weakest candidate from their point of view. Doesn't it strike you odd that the MSM has given Romney a pass while they have been laying into all the other front runners? Now the left, according to Rush Limbaugh, has begun to run slanderous adds against Romney on behalf of Newt in hopes of halting Newts advance.

I knew this was going to be an ugly presidential race but I had no idea the primaries would be this ugly. While I'm hoping the republican candidate doesn't have to weather endless months of liberal bashing I also believe we need to chose a candidate to rally behind so we can get our checks in the mail sooner rather than later.

Every word spoken by these candidates can be considered "pandering". Let's try not to make it sound like one of them is doing it less or more than the other. At least Newt is running on his ideas rather than resorting to character assassination of all his opponents. That said you might also consider that his ability to influence liberals could be considered an asset especially when faced with the polarity that exists in our congress. In contrast Mitt does indeed represent everything that the moderates and lefties have been taught to hate about America.

Obama can and MUST be defeated. We cannot afford another four years of his policies.

Have we forgotten so soon the lengths to which this senate and this administration went to in order to impose obamacare? First they try to pass it without letting members of the senate read the bill telling us " we have to pass it to see what's in it". Then they reluctantly give the members of congress 72 hours to read it before passing it. When it didn't get the votes they needed they began devising a way to "deem" it passed without even putting it to a vote. In the end they managed to twist enough arms and pay off enough members to get it passed. When the president was asked if he would sign the bill despite public outcry against the bill he replied" they will learn to like it".

We need to oust this wannabe dictator while we have the opportunity. We cannot afford to wait for his time limit to expire. How many times must he threaten to act without the consent of congress before the American people wake up?

Personally I'm curious why Mitt is even running. It's hard to tell where any mufti-millionaire's loyalties lye outside of personal gain. Whereas Newt has stayed out of it and was content to write books and "consult" until Obama began sabotaging our nations collective future by imposing antagonistic and anti-American policies.

Here's how I look at it. Newt started off his campaign for the nomination with a positive message whereas Romney has been busy tearing down each and every one of his opponents since day one. When confronted about patent lies about his opponents Mitt's response was that he had no control over what his superpacs say. This says to me that Mitt has deliberately been attacking his opponents. Such a man has no honor and is not worthy to lead. Newts current reprisals are just that. They are merely a reaction to the constant onslaught from Romneys campaign.

You be the judge but it is my hope, as things are, that Newt ultimately gets the nomination. He may not be the choice we had all been hoping for but he is a far cry better than a bored power hungry millionaire and infinitely better than the current poser in the oval office.

I would prefer a true conservative that was not beholden to either political party. That said I would settle for just one whose primary focus would be to render some damage control and roll back everything Obama has done. Perhaps then we can pick up where we left off and make some "change" for the better.

Nope.

Smoke and mirrors folks. I'm sure he's all to happy to play the shell game with our money in an effort to wiggle out a few more votes. More importantly is that he is likely to make all kinds of promises of things what wouldn't kick in till 2013 just as he did with Obama care. We haven't even begun to feel the real effects of Obama care. Right now our country is only suffering from case of nerves. We haven't even begun to see the real costs of it yet. Businesses are sitting on their money and cutting to the bone as they wait and see what is going to happen. When they have to start providing insurance for every full time employee there will be a rash of people either being laid off or having their hours reduced just so companies can stay afloat. What we are feeling is just the sniffles before the fever kicks in.

Our only hope is to repeal Obama care and that is NOT going to happen as long as Obama is in office.

It almost seems inevitable that regardless of the system of government adopted the end result is the few oppressing many. Even communism which is at times touted as "utopian" has seen all the wealth and power consolidated and controlled by a few while the rest of the nation sacrifices and suffers living marginal existences.

The U.S. constitution was supposed to prevent the government from seizing all the wealth and power for itself and yet there are still millions of useful idiots more than happy to hand it over for the mere promise of security and comfort for themselves regardless of the cost to their children and grandchildren. Whether they see it or not they are selling generations of their people, countrymen and even family into slavery all because they feel they are owed or entitled to something simply because they decided to get out of bed this morning.

Interesting how we hear all of the talk from the left about cyber bullying yet somehow they think it's justifiable as long as the "victim" is someone they disagree with. They prattle on incessantly about civil rights, equality and tolerance but just as soon as a decenter becomes vocal and gets a little attention they assail them from every angle. The occupy protesters continue to invoke the second commandment as justification for invading city parks for months on end yet when this woman speaks out and exercises HER second amendment rights she is accosted and berated for speaking up. Double standards is an understatement!
