By now you have heard... Rick Santorum has dropped out of the race! He ran a good race. His daughter, Bella is sick, and in the hospital. I am sure you will join with me to pray for Bella and the whole Santorum Family. These have got to be tough times.
In the end, Rick's depth was unable to sustain him. Santorum was a TV commentator before he threw his hat into the ring. He was on from time to time, but really was not a regular on any show. Having lost in Pennsylvania by 18 points, his impending loss there in two weeks would have destroyed any chance at getting better exposure.
Now it is just Newt and Mitt. Newt has drawn the fire of the White House for $2.50 Gas, and Religious Freedom! Mitt drew his first comments today, for running a negative campaign! Do you know what Mitt's platform is? Can you name a key issue Mitt has championed?
I can. Mitt Romney advocated for RobamneyCare in 2009. He was on several interviews touting his mandate. Mitt was chipping away at the resolve and resistance to the government forcing citizens into commerce (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ5QHsmOAlE). The conclusion that Romney would have cost the Republican Party their unanimous opposition, had he had a vote, is not beyond the pale.
Is that the kind of man that will ferret out the various tendrils of ObamaCare? Without a detailed plan of action from day one, can we trust Mitt to stand up to the monstrosity our government has become? Does anyone seriously think Mitt will be able to call out Obama on the lies and confusion we all know is coming?
Newt, on the other hand will turn our country back into the tradewinds. Speaker Gingrich has shown the ability to pull details out the air that correllate with the public record, at the drop of a hat. You know you want to see that!
But beyond the theatrics, Speaker Gingrich knows the government, and their games. He knows the lay of the legislative land. What's more, Newt will work with both sides, as he did with Clinton in passing entitlement reform! The media won't tout that. It will be just as it was with Reagan. We will see our commander-in-chief bypassing the media often!
As President, Newt will actually propose a budget that will get a yes vote in congress! He will institutionalize savings with the Chilean Plan, rather than leaving it to the general budget! The Speaker will revamp the Fed. And Newt will put the courts in their proper place with constitutional procedures and historical (and legal) precedents! You can learn more at http://www.newt.org/contract/.
Newt is going to Tampa. He has the depth of business to get there - as a candidate. But wait, the state of Texas has issued a debate challenge to all of the candidates, and Texas could matter. Articles are appearing claiming the Republicans have a problem motivating their base! They are right! Romney is driving them away! With the bulk of "Not Romney" voters now hammering newt.org, the game has changed!
Unless you want a Massachusetts Moderate, and a repeat of 2008, Newt needs your help now. Go to http://grassroots.newt.org to get involved! Do it for Virginia. Do it for America. Do it for yourself.
