My friends, what we are witnessing during this horrendous campaign season, is about as low, dirty, filled with lies and brutal as any I recall in my long lifetime. The GOP has long been known for eating their own, but this year,

they have turned the practice into an art form that threatens to implode the party. But far worse, the zealous attacks on Gingrich, all based on lies and distortions of fact, threaten to destroy the GOP’s platform AND worse, the entire campaign, giving it lock stock and barrel to Obama! The whole business is unthinkable, and outrageous, at a time when outrageous is the clarion call of the day and one can barely fathom things could get any worse. Well, not only are they getting worse, but we are shooting ourselves in the foot, over and over and over. It was proven long long ago that the so-called “establishment” of the GOP ran amuck, picked and/or supported losers, and permitted a

pathetic platform that was either weak, off point, absurd, or irrelevant. They are doing it all in spades now, having apparently lost focus on the end game – that being to defeat Obama and put to pasture his radical destruction of the U.S. I know personally too many people I regard as ‘smart’ who have bought the whole pile of CRAP that has been dished out for a long time about Romney and Gingrich – believing the attacks on the Gingrich side, while buying the bullshit about Romney as the true conservative? the shoe-in winner? Oh please – I am sick beyond words about what the GOP, the tea party, and the conservative movement has spiraled into hell. What are they thinking? Clearly they are not at all. This is not a matter of policies, ideology, issues – it is utter and total character assassination at its worst and ugliest.

The biggest question we must all ask is WHY THE HELL are those traitors to Conservatism rendering the party into demise? WHY? What truly is their agenda? If I had to guess, I’d have to say that those operating at this super base level of vitriol are operating at someone else’s behest – could it be that the GOP has already been taken over by Soros? I know he’s been working on it for some time now, but I thought he had a long way to go. It would seem perhaps he has already acquired sufficient share to control the party. Whatever it is that is going on, it is high time we all wake the “F” up, and stop this steam roller of a machine on its course to our destruction. George Soros recently made two shocking statements that people are mostly ignoring, both made in the last couple of weeks: 1) He predicts that the “occupy” movement will turn very violent in the Spring – well DUH, he should know, he funds the movement and has seen that they are trained accordingly; and 2) there is virtually no difference between Romney and Obama. BELIEVE THE MAN – he knows of what he speaks, and he has an odd, inexplicable way of sharing his ‘insider’ knowledge – almost as if he finds great pleasure in waving the red flag in front of the bull; or toying with Americans. Whatever the game he plays, we can be sure of one thing – he has NO intention of losing, no matter how much he must spend, no matter how many fences he must straddle, and he will control the outcome on both sides of the coin, thus ensuring he wins no matter what! Keep that in mind the next time you look favorably upon Romney!

Campaign Speech or State of the Union Address? by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired Never in my adult life, and I’ve been around a while, have I observed the level of attacks on a candidate from one’s own Party as I observe ongoing against Newt Gingrich. People who have held my respect for years are engaging in a character assassination ritual which is every bit as despicable as their characterization of the object of their disdain. Long time admired Ann Coulter is about to have a nervous breakdown and has gone off a cliff with her angst and level of vitriol. The Drudge Report and Fox News, not to mention the “left” might just as well fly a banner of disparagement against Gingrich and endorsement of Romney. Today I read another hit piece on Gingrich by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., Editor in Chief and Founder of the American Spectator. Isn’t it co-incidental that piling on occurs just as the national cameras are focused on the Florida primary? Amazing how that works! The other candidates cannot win on the merits of the strength of their positions, debating skills or accomplishments so they turn to their friends in media who are evident shills for Romney. So, like is too often the case, the others seek to win by tearing down their opponent since they are incapable of winning on the strength of their positions or arguments, on the issues. Is Romney, Paul or Santorum bad? Only to the extent that they are not up to the task of winning on the merits and all they have left is to resort to negative attacks. When Gingrich first defended himself, the shills (that would be Fox News and Drudge) immediately painted Gingrich as angry and that he was being negative. Huh? Did I miss something? Wasn’t the first barrage of negative ads put out by Romney and Paul in Iowa? Yes, I thought I remembered that correctly. It frustrates them that Newt, despite the fact that they put him on his political deathbed shortly after announcing his candidacy, and again after Iowa continues not only strong but leading. Could any of the others survive the slings and arrows as he has? No! His campaign Staff resigned early on and reported to Perry for duty, but then Perry endorsed Newt, Humm! When he (as did “The Donald”) criticized Paul Ryan’s plan, they went loopy that he would speak the truth. They emphasize out of context distortions, like the “$1.6 million he was paid” by Fannie Mae; and that he “resigned in disgrace” with a $300K “fine” are just that, out of context, intended to mislead distortions of the facts. His resignation from the congress according to a Washington Post was because of losses during November 1998 Congressional elections that had nothing to do with the $300K reimbursement he agreed to make. Read the account and related articles from the November 8th 1998 edition of the WP yourself, then one can make an informed decision: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/govt/leadership/stories/gingrich110798.htm. Establishment Republicans Party operatives such as Ann Coulter, Fox News in the person of Brit Hume and Carl Rove, and Drudge Report should carefully consider the consequences of their damning behavior toward the Party’s most likely candidate whether or not they succeed in destroying that candidacy. Nancy Reagan has bestowed the “Reagan Mantle” on Gingrich, and Michael Reagan has endorsed him…and yet Dick Morris (Fox News) quips the most laughable line of the season: “Romney is Reaganesque.” Sure, and I am George Patton or Douglas MacArthur, or both. Was Newt perfect while he was Speaker in the way he dealt with issues? No. But, Newt Gingrich did more in four years for the American people as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives than any, no, all his competitors combined have done in a lifetime. Newt’s morals: So what is the issue…his distant past from which he has turned away, confessed, repented and has been happily married for twelve years? He has let the past go, but evidently a lot of good people have not. Thank the Lord for salvation from sin, and thank Him for his forgiveness, otherwise we are all “toast” and Jesus will have died in vain. But, I think not. David Hanson has an excellent piece in National Review Online, on the subject of Presidential morality. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/289250/fidelity-and-presidency-victor-davis-hanson   I am for getting rid of Obama. My analysis is spot on that Ron Paul doesn’t have a chance and he as much as says so although during the Thursday debate was more certain; Romney is a Mormon whose personal values may be okay, but intentionally pulling the plug on failing businesses, not to preserve capital but to make money is not my idea of how true capitalism is supposed to work; and, he lies and supports liars; and Santorum would be crushed by the media in the first five minutes after the nomination. At this juncture all Santorum is succeeding in doing now is to diminish the chances for conservative leadership. Coulter’s “Romney is more conservative than Gingrich,” may actually be one up to Morris’ “Reaganesque” comment in the comedy department. Romney may be better looking than Reagan and younger too, but Reaganesque? Stop it Morris, it makes my sides hurt. That brings me back to imperfect Newt who is penitent and has matured; and who the Lord has molded into the man to best lead this nation, just as imperfect and impetuous “Peter” (Wasn’t Peter the disciple who denied knowing Jesus three times the night of Jesus’ betrayal? Yes, that Peter.) was the leader of the early “Christian” Church. Semper Fidelis Bob Pappas

 Well said Bob and thanks.
