No.  No he is not.

Real conservatives do not act like children.  Particularly, they do not act like children and try to change the rules of the game after the game has been played.  This week, Newt’s campaign announced that it would challenge Florida’s winner-take-all delegate process.  Why?  Because Newt didn’t win.  And he wants some of those delegates which he has no right to.

The request is downright wrong.  The rules were set.  You knew them going in Newt.  Respect them and move on.

The RNC already stripped Florida of half its delegates because it dared to buck the good old boy network within the GOP.   That network allows small, often liberal leaning states (Iowa and New Hampshire), to take the lead in narrowing down the Republican field months before most people even get to have their say.  Now Gingrich wants the RNC to infringe further on Florida?

Grow up Newt.  Just because you are not the RINO of choice is no reason to go super RINO on poor little Florida.

The primary season is starting to heat up with actual states that mean something coming up in the next couple months. The question is will there be any choice actually available for the electorate of these states to choose between.  Or have all these little states successfully left Republicans with no good options?

*Results based on 71% reporting.

Of course since the GOP has basically run out the most solidly conservative candidates over the past few months there isn’t much that is better left to vote for.

When those that seek to subvert our Republic and our liberties engage in fraud at the ballot box it tarnishes America and inhibits us. When there are those in power who seek to aid and abet those who engage in fraud at the ballot box America rusts.

To commit such acts should be on par with treason in its severity. For all who seek to disrupt America and tear down the institutions that keep it running are anti-American and acting strictly against her and are enemies.

Florida was simply a slugfest between the Anti-Mitt and Anti-Newt contingencies of the GOP. Personally, I am anti both Mitt and Newt having studied their long and not so impressive political careers. I’ve watched them each flirt with and even push for and implement liberal ideology.

Mitt Romney walked away from Florida with 46% of the vote. Newt got 32%. Rick Santorum, who in my opinion is the best of a terrible field and who himself has a long record of liberalism, got 13% as the lie that he is the only “real” conservative is just not gaining traction. Ron Paul was last at 7%.

“[I]n the Reagan White House, Newt Gingrich was considered quite frankly by a lot of folks to be something of a political opportunist and who was not trusted and who had played no role whatsoever,” Buchanan said. “He was a Rockefeller Republican in the great Goldwater-Rockefeller battle, where conservatism came of age.”

Look, I do not care how hard you spin. Yes, Newt leans conservative, but he is not conservative. He is a moderate. And if you vote for him you will get that moderate.

Mr. Simmons has now come out for Mitt Romney. And while the GOP might be happy to have such a prolific endorsement from a man with millions of hardcore fans who worship him like a God, let’s remember that in 2008 he fell for the rhythmic and ritual chants of the Cult of Obama.

“I want a real political and economic debate. On the one hand, you’ve got President Obama, who I voted for, last minute. I wasn’t going to vote for him because he didn’t have a good resume. He only had two years of local political experience, he’s never run a company, he’d never been overseas, and he didn’t know any of the political leaders. I voted my continence, based on some sort of – well, it’s the right time in history,”

Forgive me for not putting more credence in the opinion of a man who voted for Obama, and votes for Obama by his own admission, because he was black and who got swept up in the moment. Especially when there was a perfectly qualified black man, named Alan Keyes and who I voted for because he was qualified and not because of his skin color, out there. Gene, I think there is a woman somewhere who wants here breast signed and perhaps a deal with Nabisco for KISS shaped Oreo cookies you should be working on. You know, rather than giving us political insight.

Yeah! I am so excited!

And thus we have apparently a race still between Mitt and a not Mitt RINO shaping up in the sunshine state. Boy, and you people still wonder why I don’t get excited about the GOP field?

There have now been three primaries/caucuses with three different winners.

Conservatives appear to be picking Newt as the anti-Mitt.  Of course that is a dangerous gambit with Newt’s own shakey track-record and own set of myths he likes to tell, such as how the budget was balanced under his tenure as Speaker.  Newt is certainly to the right of Obama though and that makes him better to lead this country.  Not necessarily the leader America needs however.  Just remember that moving forward.
