The Right Scoop
Santorum is certainly a conviction candidate. You can't get upset to see a lot of voters voting their convictions. The good news is that Romney made a reasonably good showing in the deep south and overall he got the most delegates yesterday.
I have to say,I'm shocked and pleased. Reading the MSM Monday and Tuesday, Romney was going to sweep Alabama and Mississippi and the contest would be over. What do you know, the pollsters got it wrong again. Go, we the people!
GO RICK - GO NEWT.
I am so proud of these men for STANDING UP against the evils that are being promoted as good in our nation, in the Western world.
IF you want to see the fruit, the extent of the actions, and understand the goals of Obama and friends various religions or ideologies (Islam, Marxism, Pansexualism, Abortionism, Globalism, Environmentalism, paganism, earth worship* - all the anti-Christ movements joining forces/resources) that form the culture of lust, lies and death, scroll through the last week or two of the posts at Transfigurations, a Christian news blog by the wife of a religious liberty lawyer in upstate NY: LINK Pat has her ear to the ground for the most important news, but to keep us from losing heart, every day she puts together a devotional with a beautiful image to remind us Who is Lord, King, Savior and will not be defeated in the end. She posts these devotions and more, at Incline Your Heart.
*Obama is not an environmentalist, an Abortionist like Hillary and Bill Gates whose father was president of Planned Parenthood, or a one world government promoter like Tony Blair, a one world economy like Soros, or a one world religion promoter like Ted Turner; Obama is a Nation of Islam/Islamist and only joins with these people and movements in a marriage of convenience to create a cabal of power. His goals/motives are hate, vengeance and destruction.
Though I've been a bit peeved with Glenn Beck for his attitude toward Newt, he has come under fire from Obama's Bros and we need to support and pray for him - "You Haven't Lived Until You've Been Threatened By The Nation of Islam"
These are ruthless people. Islam makes the KKK and the Mafia look like the Junior League by comparison.
While Ricky was out criticizing Mahr as an echo of every conservative blog and radio talk show.
Here’s what Gingrich was doing.
Came up with slogan 2.50 gal gas.
Did a 30 minute video explaining how to do it.
The conversation about gas prices began to take hold
The president had to go out and start making speeches about gas prices.
Gingrich used the speeches to ridicule Obama policies and understanding of drilling.
The president had to go out and make some more speeches about gas prices.
The presidents Energy Secretary pronounced he wasn’t interested in bring down gas prices
Gingrich called him on it telling people this administration wanted European gas prices $9 and $10 dollars.
The presidents Energy Secretary had to back pedal on his original statements
The presidents mouth piece Carney ridicules 2.50 a gal gas saying not possible
The president mouth piece Carney has to back pedal on statement.
There was no National conversation about gas prices in the media or anywhere now it’s a main topic.
Obama’s poll numbers have declined since this became a hot topic.
My question is this. Do we want a Lieutenant who attacks Bill Mahr or do we want a General who will take it to the president of the United States and kick his sorry ass out of the White House?
I really enjoyed watching Newt take it to O and kick some serious rear on the energy issue. He forced them off message, it was masterful.
Oh please. When I saw Rick in August he was talking about how me must drill for our own oil.
Glad he mentioned that.
Did Obama see that? Did he respond? Did Obama's energy Secretary get handed his a$$ over it? Was Carney made to look the fool by it? Did he give the facts and figures about that? Did he come up with a video saying how it could be done? Did he start a national conversation about it? No to all but it's great he mentioned it.
Geez, some of you Newt supporters are very depressing. It is depressing to see supposed conservatives acting so childishly. I just don't get your snide comments.
That was a fine case study of projection. As I recall you are the one who questioned Newt's patriotrism for not dropping out. Right back at ya:"It's not very becoming....if you ask me."
Oh? You didn't see all the questions asked of me from cabensg? I do wish some of you Newt supporters would start acting like we're on the same side. Because we are on the same side.
It's not very becoming....if you ask me.
Personally, I don't like it that Newt has gotten them talking about it. Chu is backtracking on his $10 per gallon talk. I think it would have been a great campaign issue in the general. This has allowed them to try to clean up their image. Bad move, if you ask me.
Apparently I'm not alone in "seeing it". It appears most of the voters aren't seeing it either and why Newt keeps losing. I don't trust him on the individual mandate thing. He supported up thru much of last year. He supported it for over 20 years. Can you direct me to an interview of him where he says he had an epiphany that it was wrong?
Seriously? I guess you really can't see how Newt charges forward and everyone else follows. They follow competently, but Newt is out there in front, leading the debate, framing the conversation, putting liberals/Obama/the press on the ropes. Not just talking like Santorum did at the breakfast with no press - but powerfully pushing forward, getting the press/media to pick it up and doing it in a way that DEMANDS attention.
Of course he did, there was no press there. It was a breakfast with about a hundred ppl there. It was great.
Well, I guess that's it for Newt. That sucks. I can't believe Rick Santorum of all people beat Newt in the South. I live in Texas and havent even met a person who supported this Guy. Who are these people? I thought we wanted someone with experience? I thought we wanted true conservatism? All we can hope for is a brokered convention and get someone else other than the two clowns we have left. Just shows how far to the left this country has gone. Two blue dog Democrats left in the GOP race. Geeez
I was pretty much in despair last night myself but Newt's second finish was pretty spectacular really and will give him lots of momentum.
If he'd come in third I'd be really down but his showing was great considering Santorum was supposed to be the only. The fact Romney came in third is really really good.
I don't think Texas is going to let Newt down.
You are aware that Rick was the 5th most conservative senator during the time he served?
That is really going to impress Obama. Maybe it already has. No. What impressed Obama, or should I say distressed Obama was the need to go out and try to explain his willingness to let Americans suffer with high gas prices. I wonder who made him do that?
And I wonder what made Obama force the contraceptive issue against the advice of those around him? Answer: to go after Rick.
Well, right now Newt should have been more concerned with impressing the primary voters.
Congratulations to Rick and his supporters.
Between Rick & Newt, Conservatism struck another blow at Mitt. Let's keep our eyes focused on bringing down Mitt. Newt knows what he is doing and I continue to support him. Onward to the convention.
Newt gave a great speech tonight and the first thing he did was to congratulate Rick Santorum on his victory. It was a very gracious moment and if you haven't seen Newt's speech, here's the link:
http://video.foxnews.com/v/1505594223001/
Newt also pointed out that more than 70% of the votes went to the conservatives.
I think that tonight was a watershed moment for Willard. The facade of "inevitability" is broken. This may be the turning point when Willard's campaign starts to falter and those who were thinking they'd support him in the upcoming states start taking another look at Newt and Rick.
We need to capitalize on this moment and push back at the media and the pundits who are trying to foist Willard on all of us.
Great speech as always. Thanks for the link.
It is indeed a watershed moment for Romney. We're gonna see some mighty mean push back or should I say the same as we've already seen.
"We need at a time of great problems, great solutions. And great solutions require substance. And substance requires actually knowing something"
Can you imagine Newt hitting Obama with that line in a debate?
That alone would be a knockout punch
The facade of "inevitability" is broken.
I kinda like to think of it as the "miracle" Mitt was on about... or that "act of God" if Santorum were to win.
A slow motion act of God... just to make Willard squirm for his abject arrogance and hubris. Providence has a way of making men eat their words.
Newt gave a good speech. Thanks for the link. I'll be sending him another contribution:)
Mitt Romney campaign commercial touted his pro-choice position and anti-Reagan credentials in 2002.
Narrator: "For years, he's fought conservatives and religious extremists."
Romney: "I believe abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it. And I sustain and support the right of a woman to make that choice."
Narrator: "Mitt opposed the gun lobby, even Ronald Reagan."
Romney: "I was an Independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush!"
Narrator: "A pro-choice record. Massachusetts' values. Mitt Romney."
I am glad Rick won both states tonight. I want this to be a long primary season and a short general to keep the left guessing. That is also why Newt should stay in to make the primary season longer. What tonight shows us that Mitt can not close the deal and Mitts chances of nomination is dwindling.
It is interesting, of Newt staying in the race, while I don't see a path to the nomination for him, it does make me wonder if he is needed so that Rick can take this fight all the way to the convention and become the nominee. Rick/Newt!
This is just my opinion...I think Newt is in debt. In order to pay it off, he would support Romney. Just a thought.
Pray you are right, but John Bolton threw his support to Mitt and that shocked me because Mitt has said jihad has nothing to do with Islam and that Islam is one of the world's great religions!
The only danger in this is if Newt suddenly finds religion in the Church of Establishment.
...or as Yoda would say..."Impossible to see the future is"...
Interesting article about how a long primary helps Republicans....

I passionately want Newt to stay in. As Breitbart said - the enemy is the media. The more Newt talks, the better the conservative view is articulated. And the more Obama is put on the ropes.
Gotta Rick Roll the dice at the convention to find out. Better than having Romney with 1144. We have never had nomination process like this one they changed the rules so that more states would have a voice in the process, so the way the delegates are split up it makes me wonder if Newt is needed in this process.. I'm not sure, I don't have it all figured out yet, I don't think anyone has it all figured out yet.
Great day for stats. Polls show Obama losing support of women, defying conventional wisdom. Santorum wins with high support of females.
Santorum takes majority of FEMALE VOTERS in Alabama & Mississippi. Yes Ma'am. (per exit polling data)
Heh heh. That is what this female reported the other day about Rick and I got a good spanking from someone for being an "idiot". Hee! Hee!
IT CAN'T BE! How will the MSM spin their "anti-contraception, death to all women" narrative against Conservatives now?
