The Right Scoop
No doubt M. Bachmann is our best candidate. But if you are of the crowd that has been convinced by Big Media and the poll masters that she is "unelectable", than at least minimize the damage by ensuring that Gingrich is NOT the nominee. We have a chance of helping to slow the socialization of America with Romney.
I can't stand Romney but Newt is just flat out dangerous. Open your eyes people. If you want 4 more years of a more suttle and cunning Barack Obama you've found it in Newt.
NHConservative....you are sounding more and more like sour grapes to me.
You can not even stay with one candidate you claim is the most Conservative before you then jump to say you are voting for Romney the RINO.
Your arguments are becoming less and less relavent and more and more shrill. I think you need to change your name to NHFlipFlopper
you facts are not correct..... and Yes I agreed with you on one of them if you took the time to read my answers. but since you can to stoop to name calling it does not suprise me in the least.
no doh you are for Bachmann... anyone can see are so far in the tank for her you have completly closed out any other point of view.
LOL.....I am most definetley conservative....But since all you want to do is call names....I pity you.
I firmly believe is the free market and there should be less Government regulation and let the free market handle itself. NO Bailouts.
I firmly believe the IRS is an illegal government entity that should be done away with because it is unconstitutional.
I also firmly believe in a flat tax system where even the lowest incomes need to pay taxes. (be it small)
I believe in the right of free men to do as they please in their pursuit of happeness as guaranteed by the Constitution. That includes making it illegal for the TSA to search me as that is unreasonable search as defined by the constitution.
I believe in the separation of Church and State but not the separation FROM Church and State.
I believe English should be the official Language of Government and if you don't understand it then you should not be here.
I believe in legal immigration and a guest worker program. I also believe in a minimal fair immigration policy where those willing to become citizens will adopt the culture of the USA not the reverse.
Plus many more....
If those values are not Conservative then....you are nuts and need to go back into the hole be which you sprung from.
I must add this one for everyone to see. NHConservative just proved his real colours..... in another section of this WEBSITE:
http://www.therightscoop.com/more-newtmentum-in-iowa-and-nationwide/
Wait one minute NHConservative0221..... you said
''I'd probably pick Mittens over Newt at this point.''
And you smear me and call me not Conservative.....Boy do you look stupid now.
Romney is the ultimate RINO.
I guess that proves....who is the real non conservative.
Y O U!
The less legislation, the better. More laws infringe upon our freedoms. We should elect someone who will repeal laws.
Michele Bachmann's record includes organizing the big November '09 Washington DC tea party rally to stop Obama's health care bill, and persuading Mark Levin to speak there. She tried to pressure GOP leaders to include language to deprive Obamacare of funding in the continuing resolutions. She was one of the handful of representatives who opposed raising the debt limit this past summer. She doesn't just talk the fight, like Newt. She fights.
Before trashing someone as a troll, and using Renaldus Magnus to do it, maybe you should put down the Newt Koolaid and look into his actual record since 1979. You're hard pressed to find anything Conservative about this loser.
You WILL however find that Newt has NEVER met a BIG GOVERNMENT progressive program he wouldn't embrace. or a vile democrat like Al Gore, Pelosi, or Al Sharpton he wouldn't fall in love with.
Newt is an accomplished con man. He has a way of taking the socialist and communist agenda, rewording it to make it sound "conservative" to unintelligent people, and get away with it. A Big Government Statist is a Big Government Statist no matter if there is an R or a D after their name.
A Statist is just a Marxist in denial.
"Newt Gingrich is More Dangerous To America Than Obama and I Can Prove It!"
Please get your facts straight.
1. At the time the mandate you speak of was a Hertitage Foundation proposal that had many COnservatives backing it!
2. Newt at the time was lobbying Against Al ''the chart'' Gore and if you say the ad he said nothing about Global Warming. He talked about climate change. (two completely different items) Newt agrees it was in hindsight a bad idea to do the ad with Pelosi but what he said in the ad was not.
3. Tell me exactly what Newt said that was so bad?? That education reform on a local level to improve testing scores is bad?? I would stand for better education standards too. What's the point?
4. As a private citizen running a business that is willing to hire Newt's firm was bad?? I think you call it Capitalism....nothing wrong with that. P.S. Newt even hired special lawyers to make sure it was all above board, ethical, and legal.
5. OK. so he promotes growth of American businesses versus sending the money overseas to the middle east?? I say if it is a choice between money spending in South Dakota versus Saudi Arabia....let it be in USA not elsewhere.
6. Yep. That was a bad mistake. I agree that was a bad one.
7. There must be some form of transition or else you a) collapse the existing system, or b) keep with the current. There is no middle ground. The American Ship is a huge one and cannot like a HUGE 18 Wheeler to turn on a dime like a tiny sports car that is just not physically posible. There must be some middle or ''frugal'' transitional stage to get you from A to B. That is a disingenuous statement.
Thus endith the lesson.
Allen, Newt was shilling for GOVERNMENT MANDATED heath care insurance in MAY OF THIS YEAR. Oh, and he has been paid $37 MILLION by the insurance and drug companies to push it. It's worth billions, if not trillions to them in the long run.
Newt is a BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRESSIVE. He supports virtually every disastrous program Obama and the communist party does.
Put down the Koolaid and look into the corrupt menace's ACTUAL RECORD. Newt is as big of a progressive as Obama or any of the rest. He's just a better con man than most.
That a single human being supports Newt Gingrich is a national tragedy. There is no more corrupt, morally bankrupt a person in politics today.
If Newt is the nominee the huge fight for Liberty and Freedom we have been engaged in the last three years will have been our biggest waste of time in the nation's history. The Tea Party will be rendered meaningless.
Principles in politics are rapidly becoming a joke. Con mean and weasels rule the world.
The old Chappaquiddick Murderer beat Romney by 17...
I get the attacks on Gingrich as being too left-wing. I firmly disagree with them, but they kinda have their own logic to them. But when Romney supporters say Newt is too liberal? I laugh.
I can't believe all the blame that is going to the "establishment." This surge by Newt is the cause of the self identified conservatives and Tea Partiers. Make sense of that. I mean either conservatism has changed or we have different standards for different politicians. I don't see how anyone who is being intelectually dishonest. It is outright hypocrisy to say that John McCain and Mitt Romney are "Rhinos" (And I agree that they are) but come on, like Newt Gingrich isn't? The fact is that he is a slick talker with a big ego. If you listen to his interview on Beck today, you will hear and see a classic example. He is alot like Obama he talks long enough on a subject and uses alot of adverbs and when he done your not sure what his real answer was but it sounded smart. So let's be honest a lot of so-called conservatives really just want to beat Obama even if that means supporting someone who believes in some of the same ideals just not to the same extreme.
He was right about it being right-wing social engineering. If we don't have at least a semblance of consensus on eliminating entitlements (which we're not close to) and do it anyway, we're going to get our ass kicked worse than the Democrats did in 2010, which will mean entitlements will be gone for about two years, until the new Democratic Congress comes into power and enacts even more onerous socialist policies.
No, Michelle. He's an OPPORTUNIST. And they say that Romney has no core? Newt has absolutely no core - except his narcissism. He talks out of both sides of his mouth constantly. He will say anything to justify his positions. Nobody knows what he is, because he is "everything" and "nothing" - at the same time.
NHConservative you really are close minded. Have you not listen to Newt say he would abolish the EPA???
Here is one of the many many clips where Newt says get rid of the EPA.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6LoMB_bvVQ
I challenge you to listen to the whole clip and disagree with anything Newt says....I bet you cannot!
You really need to get your facts straight buddy.
oooo....spiffy comsback there, NHCon...if that is all you can do then you are the one that is clueless because you obviously did not listen to what was said and how it was said.
I listened to Beck all day today and the entire show was....ooh Michele is soo wonderful and everyone else is bad.....Plus it was pile on Newt day because Glenn knows he is the front runner and will win.
Then he has the gall to complain how one sided others are in their interviews and opinions....give me a break....! Today's hypocracy by Glenn Beck today really depressed me because he was sooo close minded in his views while, at the same time, claims he is the only one that is open minded.
Discouraging, disheartning, and discusting.
Bain's job was to make money for investors, even if it meant putting companies under. A majority of companies while Romney was there did not go bankrupt, but plenty did and they sucked assets out of those companies as they went down. Sounds like the consummate politician already.
"Sorry again Odin, but I think there are more people who feel like I do than are moderate/liberal leaning."
That's delusional, sorry to say.
I haven't committed to anyone at this stage, but I love the "honesty" of Bachmann.
She may be a new comer to the political arena, but she has been pretty consistant AND she shares my belief in the Constitution & Laws of the land.
Entitlements are generally socialistic. This Country was established to escape the crown and invasive government.
We take care of our needy thru charities & Churches & now by government. When the government is involved, we begin looking at the "socialistic" side.
Should the gov be FORCING us to assist those in need, or should that be OUR choice? The Gov giving to others upon defining their needs vs my ability to pay is socialism. Social Security began this socialistic trend. Why must we continue??In the late 60's welfare to the needy changed names & became "entitlements" & things have progressively changed since.
We ARE on the road to Socialism(perhaps we have arrived) Bachmann is reminding us.
I say "Good for Her & Thank You"
I'm not ready for USA "Lite"!!
I hope Michelle finds something else to do with her time, she really has no gas left in her tank.
I think Iowa will determine what happens because Bachmann has focused all her resources and strategy on winning Iowa. If she fails to get in the top 3 she is toast.
The matrix is progressive. It's impossible get a fair hearing for conservativism. Like the debate moderators, their point of view is progressive.
FOX News operates in a progressive matrix. They entertain every left wing nut that has media exposure, but never, never allow the discussion of real conservatives. You'll see Jon Stewart and Woopie Goldberg, but never Michael Savage.
I'm trying to figure out why the Republican establishment, Glenn Beck and other pundits are so keen on Romney. The guy is a moderate and doesn't have a conservative bone in his body. He shy away from tough questions - which we saw when interviewed by Brett Baier last week.
Unfortunately, for Michelle I'm very disappointed. Her attacks on her colleagues is left to be desired. Calling Newt a "frugal socialist" is the extreme. I never thought we would sell out our own. I would have expected that with Ron Paul and his elk, but never thought a professed Tea Party candidate would. Let's take last night on BOR when asked about what she would do with 11 million illegals. I cringed when she indicated she would deport them all and ther tone she used. Perception is everything and I think she did more harm to the Tea Party than good. It makes us look like we're racist - which we are NOT.
We may differ in how to solve the problems, but to accuse someone of being a socialist because of supposition is wrong. Should we hold Glenn's past against him as well?
It looks like Newt doesn't seemed to have been affected by any of the attacks, at least for now.
Thank God for the American people - they seem to have better sense than all the pundits and politicians put together!
I know Glenn is seriously in the tank for Bachmann but really.....Come on Glenn atleast be objective with your questions (remember the whole ''truth has no agenda'' thing???)....I had to stop the the player because I was getting nauseous listening to it.
At what is with the frugal comment???
Michele...exactly what are you going to do with the current structure to the Medicare Medicade program today??? I mean right now??? There must be some form of transision or else you a) collapse the existing system, or b) keep with the current. There is no middle ground. The American Ship is a huge one and cannot like a HUGE 18 Wheeler to turn on a dime like a tiny sports car that is just not physically posible. There must be some middle or ''frugal'' transitional stage to get you from A to B. That is a disingenuous statement.....I can hear Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave now.....
Just watched the interview: seriously? Glenn asks Michele what her stance on gay marriage is? Way to really challenge her. Great journalism.
His position on immigration sucks, quite frankly.
Romney's stated position is the best one of all the candidates--we don't offer amnesty, we end all the magnets like tuition breaks, ability to work here, and potential of legalization, and we secure the border. Obviously, Romney doesn't believe in the position, but, in a vacuum, it's good.
The only thing she panders to is principle. Newt is a Socialist, more than Romney. Reducing the size and scope of Government (Bachmann) and making Socialism work better (Newt) are not the same ideology. Do more research. And we don't have decades!
Quit whining like a baby to his mama,cause all this bickering could lead to four more years of obama. Don't fall for the divide & conquer game the left is subjecting us to.
Conservatives who insist on blaming Hollywood, the liberal media, the schools can't take responsibilities for their own failures in failing to stop those things, and often enabling them.
Yes, Irans with nukes is ok. We have nukes, the Soviets have nukes, the Chinese have nukes, etc. etc. No one hates us more than Russia and China, and they both would be a lot better equipped to attack the US, but they don't. You think if Iran had nukes they would just launch a volley at any and everyone just to see what would happen? You are the nut job, sir. Isolationism is not the same thing as selective interventionism, which is Paul's stance. And Paul is beating around the bush about the 9/11 attacks. 9/11 was an inside job, but he obviously can't say that, so he says the closest thing, which is also true. Middle easterners attack us because of our foreign policy. Period. Why don't they attack Australia or England (embassy doesn't count because there were MANY issues that played into that attack) or any other primarily white "infidel" nation. We try to control them so we can make sure the oil keeps flowing, and they are tired of not being allowed to run their own country how they want to. That is why they attack us. Get your head out of the sand, man.
Bottom line for me: This kind of overheated rhetoric turns me off from Michele. I was vacillating between her and Newt (Santorum is somewhere in the mix), but every time she opens her mouth, my support for Newt becomes stronger.
I've been listening to this Ron Paul video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVwN3dEdU4&feature=youtu.be
He's such a libertarian...
I don't think he would even be for prosecuting child or adult trafficking (aka prostitution) and/or porn at the federal/national level (using FBI) or international level.
Precisely. It took the progressives 100 years. We want to do it in one day? It's nuts. Thank you for saying this.
Bachmann is only in it for Romney's sake, his stalking horse, so to speak; she attacks every candidate, except Romney.
Bachmann is in it on principle...because of her convictions. It has nada to do with Romney per se, everything to do with progressivism/liberalism and irresponsible corrupt government.
Same with Santorum.
Neither of them are in it for ego sake, because of special interest backers or for any particular agenda...except to restore sanity and responsibility...and thus prosperity and stability to the US.
Bachmann is in it on principle...because of her convictions????
There is a glaring distance between her campaign oratory and her actual conduct as a lawmaker.
Bachmann also privately lobbied for stimulus funds for Minnesota and pork producers, sought spending earmarks that she now opposes and benefited personally from tens of thousands of dollars in federal funds for a family farm and counseling clinic owned by her husband, federal records show.
Michele Bachmann Loves Government Pork!
She repeatedly sought stimulus, EPA and other government funds.

I agree about Santorum.
Santorum is a decent man and is in it on principle and he is very consistent.
WTF are you talking about? You post as faustmanv. That doesn't identify you any more than 'anonymous' identifies me.
You want a glorious defeat in 2012, go for it. The rest of us live in the real world, a world populated by statists and quasi-socialists, so we do the best we can.
