I can't pretend to be a newt fan, but I can say that I was pleased he defeated Romney in SC and that I was hoping he'd do it again in FLA.
But he's yapping out the entirely wrong message attacking Romney on the class warfare us vs. them rich vs. poor bullshit.
Hey Newt: If you have legitimate gripes about Romney, motherfucker, make your fucking case. But
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
instead, you go off half cocked sounding like a slightly deranged GOP version of President Barack Insane Class Warfare Obama.
Newt, you are fucking blowing it.
I want the GOP nominee to have to fight to win this to toughen him up for the (minimally) billion dollar campaign that the liberal Democratics and President Obama are gonna throw at the eventual GOP contendah.
But Newty is seemingly bent on turning it over to Mitt.
Fuckin idjits.
That's what I don't get. Newt could get support if he started acting like a conservative. I know he isn't which is probably why he doesn't. But if he went after Romney where he was weak among conservatives, IE attacking from the right, he could be persuasive. but with him attacking Romney from the left he gets conservatives defending Romney from nonsensical leftist arguments. The more he does that, the more conservatives will coalesce around Romney.
It doesnt make sense for Newt to be driving the conservatives toward Romney. But that's what he's doing with his attacks from the left. If he doesn't stop it, Romney will have the nomination. Because it will also force Romney to be defending conservative principles which will draw conservatives to him more.
And I dont think for a second Romney isn't conservative with his views on business.
