That picture of Newt reminds me of Barney Frank (with his similar frown). Maybe the time Newt spent as an influence peddler/lobbiest for FreddieMac rubbed off on him.

Wow, I thought it was revealing when Newt attacked capitalism, wealth and successful businessmen/investors. Now we see a desperate Newt leveraging liberal powerbrokers (Soros) as campaign tools.

Stay tuned: Next comes Obama and Wasserman Schultz promoting Newt in coming advertisements (And Newt claims to represent the Tea Party!)

Palin (like Newt, Cain, and Rush) knows that her gravy comes from the extreme right wing. In fact, Palin walked away from her full-time leadership obligations to the people of Alaska so she could make much more $$ as a part-time talking-head celebrity. As a conservative, the only thing worse than corrupt liberal politicians are people that sprint to the front of conservative parades, shrieking with their bull-horn so they can make money off of the passionate concerns of earnest voters. Palin may have painted herself into a corner this time.

I'd rather defeat a liberal (Obama) than merely annoy one for spite's sake.

Not sure why Palin has joined the ranks of ultra-extremists in the media (that purposely incite bad feelings) unless she also wants to capitalize on the media attention, fame and related big $$. (Come to think of it, Palin did walk away from her real world responsibilities to the citizens of Alaska--to access the easy bucks paid to full-time talking heads and speech-givers.)

Yeah, lets get a nominee that uses commonly recognized left wing rhetoric and arguments to attack wealth and capitalism. As long as he has "sharp elbows", that's the important thing. Then he can attack Obama from the left--that's the strategy--sharp elbows is the key!

I'm a conservative and I read Alinsky's book to learn exactly what he taught (I prefer some research before talking). Many conservatives leverage Alinsky teachings (as well as liberals) in cynical and selfish ways whenever it serves their purposes. Just because George Romney might have said something open-minded about listening to Alinsky, doesn't mean a whole lot. I've seen many fake conservatives endorse Reagan to serve their purposes. Heck, I've even seen Obama endorse Lincoln and Reagan within the last three years--but we know he is name-dropping just to raise his approval rating. Mitt Romney knows that he must not run as a red meat conservative, otherwise, Obama will capture both the left and the center (especially among people that consider themselves "independents"). Even if Newt were to get close to capturing the nomination, you'd see him immediately shut down his red meat conservative rhetoric, and start saying things that appeal to the center. If you study Newt, you'll immediately find climate-change endorsement with Nancy Pelosi, single-payer insurance mandate endorsements, and sharp criticism of Paul Ryan's plan (among other things). It's not hard to put the "fake conservative" label on most anyone--you shouldn't need to dig up peripheral quotes from their ancestors.

Perry seems like a doofus.

Probably good if he skips debates and speeches and just buys tons of campaign advertisements smearing any of the frontrunners. Then if he wins, he can get a teleprompter like Obama.

King Obama:

"There's an imbalance in the opening statements because I'm the KING of this country" (Obama was actually saying). Heaven save us from this King we've got.

That picture had me chuckling for an hour. I hope the media has it handy for future laughs. It makes BO look so stupid. (Unfortunately, the Office of the US Presidency cannot avoid being hurt by his actions, as well.)

It is especially satisfying that Scott Brown was clever enough to pick up David Gergen's "gotcha" question about Ted's holy senate seat and knock it out of the park with his "...its the People's Seat!" response.

Its interesting as David Gergen (and others of the MSM) try to subtly tear Brown back down again as I've heard him as a talking head on TV. It will be much more difficult for them to smear Brown like they did with Palin. (They are already trying.)
