Conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said on Sunday that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s thumping of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in South Carolina Saturday showed that the Republican base was “revolting” against the party establishment.
During a round table discussion on NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd explained that Gingrich’s win was “about Mitt Romney.”
“He hasn’t made the sale to conservatives,” Todd observed. “And losing in South Carolina, he can’t dismiss it. This is the heart and soul of the conservative movement, the folks that show up at telephones, that knock on the doors — and he doesn’t have their support.”
“There’s no doubt about it,” Scarborough agreed. “The party base is revolting, but they are revolting against the Washington Republican establishment anointing Mitt Romney.”
“Just like Herman Cain was not about Herman Cain. It was a rejection of Mitt Romney. Rick Perry, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Michele Bachmann, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich wave one, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Now we have Newt Gingrich wave two, a rejection of Mitt Romney.”
Scarborough continued: “Mitt Romney could attack Newt for not being a conservative because Newt is not a conservative. Google it! We [Republicans] ran him out of Congress in 1998 because he sold us out on taxes, he sold us out on spending, he went to the floor and he sided with Democrats on his last speech, calling us the perfectionists caucus. He called us jihadists. He’s not a conservative, he’s an opportunist. But here is the problem: So is Mitt Romney.”

Thank god I vote using the logical side of my brain, and not the emotional one. - 4 months ago

Tweedledum and Tweedledee school Alice on the fine differences among predatory and crony capitalists.
"I like the Walrus best," said Alice, "because you see he was a little sorry for the poor oysters."
"He ate more than the Carpenter, though," said Tweedledee. "You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise."
"That was mean!" Alice said indignantly. "Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus."
"But he ate as many as he could get," said Tweedledum.
This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, "Well! They were both very unpleasant characters—"

The S. Carolina GOP voted for Gingrich because he is much better at racism, lies and evil bullshit. This is the result of generations of inbreeding dating back to the end of the civil war when the south's male population was decimated. Which means there are more mental defectives in S.C. GOP than not.

I like how they say they are going to ignore or get rid of Roe v. Wade the way they have been doing for the last twenty years in order to get the religious vote. The kind of thing we are hearing from Newt in South Carolina to get their attention. And then when they get into power they never bring it up again. This was pointed out in another conversation yesterday. I think it was the one asking if the religious are easy marks.

Yeppers. All the hot button, but pointless wedge issues they harp on is nothing but their GOTV program. Joke's on them and their foolish fans. The GOP has created some real monsters with these issue voters groups and the tea party takeover is the price they paid.
The GOP used, then ignored the religious right for votes. The tea party has shown to be a tougher tiger to hold by the tail. But then, lots of them are also members of the religious right the GOP has been less than upright with in the past, older and wiser to the pols tricks.
Personally, I rather enjoy the carnival. Too bad we could be using the time to actually do some needed repairs on America though. The GOP sideshow is just more evidence that they hate America.

I don't think any of these guys can beat Obama. That being said, they could win the White House without beating him. They are not above some unscrupulous practices. And before someone reminds me. Both sides of the isle can be unscrupulous. I just think the Republicans are a little more adept at it.

George W. Bush won the White house after a Democratic President who created 28 million jobs and left behind a budget surplus. Never underestimate the American voters ability to do the wrong thing. All it has to be is close, and the Republicans will figure out a way to steal it.

Unless they just want a brokered convention and a dark horse candidate without enough time for us to vet same, I firmly believe they want to lose. Keep thinking back to 96 and Dole sent out against Clinton. Dole? DOLE?????? They wanted to lose that one and give ol Bill more time to get the economy healthier so they could steal more when they got their chump selected in 2000.

My point exactly. But it had to be close to accomplish that fix. The American voter saw 28 million jobs and a budget surplus and said to themselves " those guys were so successful, lets try the other guys". They should have given Gore the President's office in a landslide after that record.
