Bad news for Obama??? How can you possibly spin this to be "bad" news for Obama? This has been the Democrat's goal, for decades - a populous that is beholden to them. This means that half of Americans have an incentive to vote for someone who will not only continue to give them government assistance, paid for by the other half, but who will actually increase that assistance. Furthermore, a large part of those people don't work, so they have plenty of time to go to the polls. In a democracy, when those needing assistance outnumber those who provide assistance, it's essentially "game over." That's why this election really is the most important ever. It Obama wins, America loses... forever.
And the point of this article is what?... Everyone already knows that Romney is a moderate. We already know that every GOP candidate remaining, except Paul is a moderate and he's... well to put it as pleasantly as possible, he's as far from presidential material as you can get. So what's the point? Romney will be the nominee. It's time to turn our focus to Obama. Romney's lead, combined with the schedule that strongly favors him means that like him or not, Romney is the nominee. So as sad as that is, it's time to get behind him, if we don't want another four years of Obama.

The Florida Smear Campaign

True. Romney is twisting the facts. Newt was guilty of one ethics violation. Newt did resign, but only because he had become ineffective, due partially to his ethics violation. Romney is, as most politicians, twisting the truth, by making it sound worse than it is. Newt, by contrast, is not simply twisting the truth. He has blatantly lied on several occasions. The one that is easiest to prove is the assertion in his book and on the campaign trail, that his 1st wife initiated that divorce. Court records show that he filed for divorce and that she fought it. That's not something that you just get mixed up about.
It's the beginning of a long process, ONLY if Newt can't read the writing on the wall. If Newt doesn't drop out after FL, then the biggest reason not to vote for him would not be his long and sordid record of voting for and supporting liberal initiatives, but rather, like Paul, that he lives in a dream world and is incapable of accepting the obvious. We certainly don't need a president who let's his pride impair his decision-making abilities. If Romney wins FL by double digits, then it's all over. The schedule favors Romney all the way to Super Tuesday. With each successive win, Romney will get more donations and with each successive loss, Newt will get less. By Super Tuesday, Newt won't be able to afford a 10 sec. 2AM TV spot. He's done.
The polls (ALL of them) repeatedly show that of the remaining candidates, ONLY Romney consistently beats Obama in a head-to-head match up. It doesn't matter who the pollster is or who paid for the poll. ONLY Romney "consistently" beats or ties Obama from week to week. Others can say that they beat Obama for a few weeks. But ONLY Romney consistently beats Obama. By contrast, this week, Newt is more than 10 points below Obama in the head-to-head match up. That tells us that the 1% argument isn't working against Romney and that the Rats don't need an argument to defeat Newt.
This headline is hilarious!!! Newt... the guy who has spent almost all of his adult life "Inside The Loop", claiming that a guy who spent the largest part of his life actually IN the Real World, starting at the bottom, climbing to the top, making money and creating jobs, doesn't understand the Real World!!!jQuery152037514803002928654_1327856239025? Hello!!!? Where's the disconnect? They're both RINOs. One RINO has never created even one job, while the other RINO has created thousands of jobs. One RINO is a Loop insider, whose has never even seen the Real World, while the other RINO is a businessman, who lived in and succeeded in the Real World for decades, before getting into politics. If either of these two RINOs "don't understand...
What Newt did 10+ years ago, in not the point. It's what he has done numerous times in the last 10 months that is important. Newt has repeatedly LIED to GOP voters about who initiated his first divorce and continued to do so, till investigators looked into the records of that divorce and found that Newt had initiated the divorce and that Jackie had challenged it. Only then, did Newt become silent on that issue. He has not apologized (repented) to GOP voters for lying to them, in the last few months. He has not even changed his story. He just went silent on the subject - apparently, hoping that voters would simply forget that he lied to them. That tactic appears to be working. This leads me to wonder if he really repented.
I agree with Doug Giles, in that, "when people verbally repent we’re supposed to forgive them". But what about when they transgress TWICE? Forgiveness can only go so far. There's an old adage that Republicans should heed, in this case. "Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me TWICE: shame on me." Here's a man (sic) who has repeatedly cheated on wives (plural). He has "TOLD" us that he has repented. So let's look at his behavior SINCE he supposedly repented: 1. Newt has repeatedly told voters that his first wife Jackie initiated their divorce. 2. Court records show that Newt filed for divorce from Jackie. 3. Court records show that Jackie petitioned the court do deny the divorce. Is lying to voters the action of someone who has repented?

Romney and Capitalism on Trial

Although I am no fan of Romney, I must admit that he has the business experience that is required to appropriately cut the size of government. By that, I mean that he has the experience to examine a government agency and accurately determine if it can or should be saved or if it should be shutdown or be downsized. He has experience at doing both, which is more than any of the other RINOs in the race have. I would rather it be a conservative. But there are no conservatives left in the race, so I suppose that I'll have to vote for the least liberal RINO in the race - Romney. Bummer...
The problem for Huntsman is that Republican voters have finally learned about his dangerous foreign policy, that is almost as bad as Paul's. In fact, there's not a conservative left in the race. Sadly, Romney is the only candidate who isn't lying about his record and who is actually facing his record. That means that if the other candidates are lying about their records, we can't trust their promises. I don't know if we can trust Romney. But since he is promising conservatism and all the others are lying about their records, Romney wins my vote by default. That's just a sad statement on where the GOP is today.
