If you want consistency: Ron Paul.

If our country could just start to move in the direction he'd take us, we'll be better off.
(Someday I'll part ways with Dr, Paul, but not yet,)
He's the only one who wants to stop digging the hole and fill it in.
Everyone else argues about whether to dig faster or slower from the right or left side of the hole.
The hole is our grave.

Well Newt, you know how to take things out of context. Why don't you play the whole thing, so people can hear what he was referring to? For people who want to hear it, go and watch the full debate, so you won't get mislead by this. Of course people will be able to see how Romney crushed you like a bug in the last debate. http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-debate-schedule/2011-2012-primary-debate-schedule/

I realize that Newt Gingrich is a horribly flawed individual. However, we are all flawed. OK! OK! I should only speak for myself.

But, you know that it is true.

I think we should pray for Mr. Gingrich, as well as his opponents.

GEORGE SOROS IS SPREADING THE WORD THAT HE WANTS ROMNEY OR OBAMA TO WIN AS NOTHING WOULD CHANGE. THINK HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE OWNS?

He doesn't want Gingrich or Santorum.

I told you Nitt was just a damn liberal socialist, just like Obama. Two liberal peas in a socialist pod.

I TOLD YOU SO!

I found it quite entertaining and factual. The creepy factor is Romney and all his lies (and those stupid enough to like him).

The question of calling Tea Party people 'baggers' originated with the Tea Party people themselves. They wore Tea Bags on their hats and heads. The name originated with Tea Party people, it is Republicans who constantly pursue the politics of personal destruction.

I am sick and fed up with people making fun of Mitt for saying that is really his first name - my son's first name is Christopher and his middle name is Lawson and he has gone by Lawson since the day he was born - I guarantee you if someone asks his first name he will automatically (perhaps absent-mindedly) answer that it is Lawson - people need to get over that!

Mitt Romney has the same problems as Obama.He could never pass a conservative background check.Obama has attacked everything that has made this country great and for Romney with Wall St.backing it will be crooked crony capitalism,business as usual.Couple that with his socially liberal background what changes?What will be his next great flip flop if he becomes president?

Being an Independent and not wanting to "return to Reagan/Bush" does not automatically mean Romney voted for any Democrat. Remember Bob Dole said that he would "be Reagan if that's what you want me to be."

Seems to me a little "critical thinking" about this weird ad (which implies much but says, really, nothing) is in order--by OUR side this time.

Not wanting to return to the Bush /Reagan years does mean exactly what is implied. It basically tells us what we already know- Romney is not conservative and won't push conservatism.
And as for what Bob Dole said: I don't remember him winning the Presidential race either-unless someone learns from his loss I'm not much inclined to listen to him. While I voted for him- just like McCain - I really didn't much care whether he won or not.

Mitt Romney's biggest mistake was living in Massachusetts and trying to be a successful politician. With all of his money, why did he not just move to a more conservative state and then he could have been "himself", whoever that may be. Look at Sen. Brown and how he has tried the balancing act in being a Republican in this ultra liberal bastion. You cannot become governor of Massachusetts by being a Rush Limbaugh quoting conservative.

Looks like several folks who call themselves Conservatives or Republicans are trying to re-elect Barack Obama by attacking their own. If this keeps up it will save Obama millions in campaign expenses because the Republicans will have done his hatchett job for him.

Sharing your ammunition with your enemy is not the best strategy.

The electorate thinks we need a street fighter who can articulate conservative principles and translate them into action.
Gingrich offers some hope for that.
Romney has shown himself to be a stammering weakling willing to do anything to win, including attacking others with lies.

The press has left Willard alone for the most part, they have aired every claim that Willard is electable and every claim that Newt is too controversial...like Romney doesn't have the money to make that case himself.

Give the nomination to Willard, the press will proceed to destroy him with all the ammunition they have held back to ensure he gets the nomination...bet on it. A vote for Willard is a vote to re-elect Obama.

Scarey! Romney will lose to Obama. It really would not make much difference because the GOP establishment is using Romney to destroy the progress the Tea Party is making in getting liberals on both sides to cut the budget.
Romney has destroyed conservatives with lies, just like Obama will do to him.

They all lose the black vote, that is a given whoever is nominated. Who are conservatives going to vote for instead? Obama? I don't think so. Stay home and let Obama be reelected? I can't imagine them doing that either.

He doesn't have to convince people Obamacare is bad. Polls show they already know that. He does need to convince people that he will work to repeal it, but that won't be hard because they will want to believe. Even if they are not sure, what will they do? Vote for Obama because they know he won't? Or vote for the guy who say willnd they think may? You do the math.

I have done the math and Romney can't win. We know Obamacare is bad, but does Romney believe that, not so much since he keeps defending Romneycare.
Romney's lies are turning conservatives off so much if he gets the nomination there will be a low turnout, exactly what the Dems are working for.

Actually if Mitt is the GOP nomination, he will not have the conservative base in his corner. Mitt will lurch left to get the left leaning independents and then he will be touting his positions and accomplishments as Gov of Mass

There is much more to this election than the Presidency. Do you really think the Tea Party conservatives are going to sit at home and not vote? Keep drinking the cool-aid. 2010 was not an anomaly, 2012 will be a repeat performance by the patriots and the real believers in the type of government our founding fathers intended for this great country.
