Two things about the videos linked below swayed me toward Newt.
One, I think he’s right that the only way to beat Obama is to nominate a candidate who is VERY different from Obama, which means not another John McCain RINO moderate like Romney.
Two, he has a strength of character, an SOB factor if you will, that makes me think he can deal with everything the Democrat Media Complex, Democrat legislators, and world class bullies would throw at him.
Santorum has the more exemplary personal life, but he’s nice. I’d love to have his family living in our neighborhood, going to our church, etc.
But I am just not seeing the warrior toughness needed to get elected and steer our country back to being the city on a hill the founders created.
Newt Holds Townhall Meeting With Meredith Lakes Region Tea Party [1:44:37]
Take a moment to peruse the newly added Candidates page above for links and information about specific GOP primary presidential candidates. You’ll find links for each candidate’s campaign website. You can also utilize the candidate pages for adding links and information about specific candidates that others might find useful in deciding how to vote in the upcoming primaries or how to get more involved. News items should still be posted on the daily grudge, but this will give everyone a place to look for candidate-specific information, rather than hot issues.
If you haven’t checked it out already, there’s also a new page with countdown timers for the upcoming primaries/caucuses. I’ve added a link there, as well as on the Candidates page, to the GOP Primary Debate Schedule (which includes links to archives of each past debate). Don’t Forget…the first of two debates in New Hampshire is tonight at 9pm EST on ABC, followed by a 9am EST (yes…that’s AM!) debate on NBC. Links to the ABC debate live stream are available on the debate schedule page.
The Left is calling them names for it, but as sure as the sun rises, if the Santorums were Pro-Choice Catholics like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, these exact same critics would be praising the Santorums for the depth of their insight and courage.
I think there is something deeply wrong with people whose opinions begin with Democrat good; Republican bad. And for the record, I don’t like the people on my end who knee jerk with Republican good; Democrat bad, either.
I wasn’t going to do a post today,I swear.I read Chrissy’s post and she is spot on.Blogging here is a release of pent-up emotion that would otherwise manifest itself in other,perhaps more destructive ways.I could envision breaking pretzel sticks like they were some liberals’ scrawny neck or kick my dog through a hedge.(I’d have to buy a dog first.)
Like most of you,I don’t waste my time on the liberal propaganda network,but I heard a clip on Don and Roma this morning that had me trembling with rage.First,it was that squinty little turd Alan Colmes mocking Santorum about how he dealt with the grief of losing a child.Last night that vile bastard Eugene Robinson was on the Butch Bitch show sneering about how the Santorums dealt with their child was ‘really weird.’ I just lost it.
Maybe a child dying a few hours after birth is nothing more than a real late term abortion to these liberal mouth-breathers,but each family should be able to deal with it in their own way.He opened his heart at a public meeting and shared his pain and these snarling hyenas pounced like the ravening scavengers they are.
I found one video clip that was 20 minutes long,then found another that is mercifully only two minutes.Watching that much of these two contemptible cretins is cruel and unusual punishment.Before you watch this,make sure you don’t have any sharp objects near.
OBAMA’S BRILLIANT DISARMAMENT STRATEGY
One of the president’s enumerated responsibilities is to “provide for the common defense.”
To this douchebag that means unconditionally surrendering unilaterally to nations that would do us harm.Replace 500,000 flesh and blood warriors with drones so nobody can blame you for US casualties.What are these soldiers going to do for jobs in the economy you’ve effectively destroyed?What happens when North Korea and Iran get nuclear capabilities?When Israel is reduced to rubble and decaying bodies?
You plan to release five Taliban leaders from Gitmo as a condition for the terrorists to go through some sham negotiation to make you look like the Great Conciliator?How about the men whose boots you’re not fit to polish who bled and died to capture these high-value targets?It doesn’t bother you a lick that you’re pissing on their graves? I better stop.My apologies for getting so emotional. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/287320/america-s-disarmed-future-arthur-herman
DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE SEEN THIS–FEEL GOOD VIDEO OF THE DAY
Former pro wrestler Jesse ‘the boob’ Ventura commented that the SEALS ‘deserved to die’.Bad move–this guy IS a Navy SEAL and he heard it.
CIA,DOD PROBING WHETHER BIN LADEN SECRETS WERE REVEALED
This is in reference to the movie about killing Bin Laden.The producers were given unprecedented access to classified material by the White House.The film is produced by Sony,the only major studio to hold a fundraiser for Obama and it’s release is scheduled for Oct.9,three weeks before the election.Go figure. http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/202597-gop-lawmaker-says-dod-cia-investigating-alleged-bin-laden-movie-leak

Don’t plan on posting too much–we’ll see how it goes.
As I drove around this morning,alone with my thoughts as I delivered my papers, I got to thinking about Obama’s naked power grab.The more I thought about it the more he reminded me of Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments.Both believed they descended from heaven to rule as some sort of god on earth.When the Pharaoh spoke he’d point a finger and say: ‘so let it be written-so let it be done.’ The scribes would scratch his words on parchment and issue his edicts to the unwashed masses who worshipped at the many temples he had built to himself.Notice the similarities?Pharaoh took half the straw from the Israelites and told them their quota of bricks must remain the same.Pharobama takes half of what his subjects have and scolds them for being greedy for not giving more for him to use as he will.
Both caused masses of humankind great hardship and deprivation merely because they felt it was their birthright to do so.The people should be grateful to be ruled by an omnipotent being and willingly sacrifice everything in service to him.
WHITE HUT SEES WIN IN CORDRAY MOVE
Before I saw this article I had it figured out.Pharobama is picking fights intentionally with congress and the senate knowing full well they won’t buy into it.Then he waggles a finger and wails they are a ‘do nothing’ congress.This was his stated plan all along.I recall reading somewhere when he finished his Hawaiian vacation he planned on getting the tax holiday extended for a year then devoting the rest of the year to campaigning for reelection.Maybe someday we’ll have a president who takes time out from running for office to actually do something for the country.
CONGRESS SHUCKS ETHANOL SUBSIDIES,NOT MANDATES
Don Wade talked about this this morning.Congress is patting itself on the back for ending ethanol subsidies.Unfortunately,the use of ethanol in fuel is still required.Soooo since the oil companies have to spend more to produce gasoline,guess who’ll be paying more…a LOT more for gas? http://news.investors.com/Article/596556/201201031827/ethanol-corn-biofuels-alternative-energy.htm

CNN DEFINES SANTORUM:RACIST,PAPIST,HOMOPHOBE
Welcome to the big time,Senator.Now bend over and spread your cheeks–the press would like a word or two with you.It doesn’t really matter what you say,they’re going to edit it anyway. http://www.breitbart.tv/cnn-defines-santorum-racist-papist-homophobe/

NEWT’S NEW AD
Newt got torched for whining about having to sit in the back of Air Force One when he was Speaker.Then he turned everybody off by acting like a petulant child Tuesday.Put a fork in him–he’s done.
THE KRAUT SPEAKS
Sorry for the excessive proselytizing,I had a lot to get off my chest.Hopefully some of the videos will make it worth stopping by for a minute or two.
