is even TWS turning on Mittens? If not now, well...let's just say surely they wouldn't be publishing this if Mittens wasn't 2nd place.

Within hours of the Des Moines Register report about his new hire saying this week that some evangelicals may vote against Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon, Newt Gingrich's campaign has parted ways with the staffer.

"Craig Bergman agreed to step away from his role with Newt 2012 today," Gingrich spokseman RC Hammond said in a statement. "He made a comment to a focus group prior to becoming an employee that is inconsistent with Newt 2012's pledge to run a positive and solutions orientated campaign."

The episode has once again entered the issue of Romney's Mormonism into the political bloodstream, albeit briefly, and with less thunder than the pastor backing Rick Perry committed the same act earlier this year. It also gives Gingrich something tangible to point to on the trail about running the clean campaign he has pledged.

This is classic. Now Newt can go round raising the "I don't tolerate anyone using Mitt's Mormon religion against him." Apparently Newt has no problem with calling people jaded by "kenyan anti colonialism," however.

Radio host Michael Savage offers Newt Gingrich $1M to drop out of 2012 election; rival Mark Levin fires back

Dueling radio hosts spar over GOP frontrunner's chances of beating Obama

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Radio host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich a million bucks to go away, saying a "fat old white man" can’t beat Barack Obama in the 2012 president election.

Savage’s rival radio host Mark Levin responded by offering Savage $100,000 to leave the radio.

So far, no one seems to be reaching for the money.

Savage, heard early evenings in New York on WOR (710 AM), holds some of the same positions as Gingrich. But he doesn’t care much for Gingrich himself, questioning his position on issues like immigration and criticizing his messy personal life.

More to the point, Savage explained on the air, the only relevant goal in 2012 is to beat Obama and Gingrich can’t do it.

"On television he will come off badly compared to Obama and look like nothing more than what he is, a fat, old, white man," said Savage.

Savage, who is not given to understatement, has suggested many times that if Obama wins a second term, America is finished.

Of course, to hear Savage talk, America is pretty much finished anyhow. He just seems to think Romney could buy it a little more time.

Meanwhile, speaking of not liking people, Mark Levin has never much cared for Savage – whom he calls "Weiner," which is Savage’s birth name.

So Levin, who is heard in that same early evening spot in New York on WABC (770 AM), offered Savage $100,000 to give up his radio show.

Levin added that this might happen even without the money, saying Savage is "losing affiliates left and right" because he "takes his audience for granted."

Levin has had a hot-and-cold relationship with Gingrich, blasting him in a long rant last year, but giving him airtime this year to explain some of his positions to Levin’s conservative audience.

Both Savage and Levin have large radio followings. By the most recent estimates of the trade magazine Talkers, Savage reaches more than 9 million listeners a week, making him the third most popular host in the country after Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Talkers estimates Levin’s audience at more than 8.5 million, putting him in a tie for fourth place with Dave Ramsey and Glenn Beck.

I'm...baffled. No seriously, I am.

I'm...baffled.

PPP - Virginia

Obama 48%
Romney 42%

Obama 50
Newt 43%

I just listened to the Republican debate. Gingrich proposes that Congress issue subpoenas to SCOTUS justices to explain their rulings. Madonne! The ignorance.

I do not like how all (with the exception of Ron Paul) are so damn anxious to go to war with Iran. That's really scary.



TIS

Not to mention Romney wanting double warships and 100,000 more troops in the miltiary. How to pay for that for everything else, nevermind the other promises to be fiscally conservative?

Santorum on Iran pretty much lays out possibly the biggest secret in American politics today: If the GOP is elected to the White House, There will be war in '13, almost a virtual repeat of '03.

And nobody cares.

Hilarious.

Idiots.

they give idiots a bad name

AMEN ! How about douche bags!

Douches resent that association.

Your proably right about that. I guess all we can do is shake our heads and wonder how we have kept going down the tube the last few years , and just watch them.

When listening to the Republican debate the other night, Santorum stated that if elected he would repeal all of President Obama's regulations. It's statements like that that just irritate the hell out of me. As a government instructor, I know it's just not that easy, that there are any number of variables associated with even trying to do so let alone the consequences of doing so. However, it's just as irritating to know that there is ignorance aplenty out there among listeners about the Constitution and law who actually think that a President can do just about anything he wants.

They all BLOW out thar ass ! It is all a bunch of HEARSAY They SAY!

And not getting anywhar ! Anybody that believes these fricken primates of any party is ? Stupid as the fricken day and night are long They all talk with money hanging out of thar ass! And who put the money thar YOU AND I DID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other day at the barber shop, I purposely was trying to avoid politics in such a public place in East Tennessee where tempers fly very quickly. (You never want to piss off somebody with sharp blades on your head)

I hear a conversation where a woman thought Romney came off as a "creep."

Never concocted that observation myself, but he certainly has a likeability problem in general.

I shave my head ! And carry a 45cal. and maybe others I also shave myself, don't put myself in that spot. But I also don't try and get into that situation, because I am gonna say same frickin thing I said before and then the Pricks better get outta the way. Depends how my body is worken that day. Usually stay home when things are pissing me off. Just Sayen !

Another alarming statement by a Republican presidential candidate voiced at the debates the other night was by Newt Gingrich. He wants Congress to subpoena SCOTUS justices to explain their rulings. How absurd. It's hard to think of aything that would be more injurious to impartial ajudication or the Constitution's separation of powers principle than such an action.

Are there any good Republicans/Conservatives on this Board who could respond to Newt's statement? God, I wish Apple was still around.

Newt, they already do that. They're called decisions, whether majority or minority opinions.



Exactly as the Founding Fathers intended!



I would say they either permanently vacated such threads after the troubles Double J and Patrick threw at each other and everyone else. Or quite possibly, they're ashamed to be publicly identified with their current Party.

I certainly would be.

Why don't you two get a hotel room somewhere? It wouldn't be too expensive... I'm sure you'd kill each other within 24 hours.

Hilarious.

You know it seems the Dems will have it so easy making Romney ads. They simply need to play Romney himself on any one issue, talking both sides of the fence. It sounds so simple.


On a very disturbing note, California Tea Party politician, Jules Manson, posted on Facebook today that President Obama and his family should be assassinated. California has nutjobs? Who would have thought?

Seriously, what a horrible thing to post. Not only threatening but racist as well.

Madonne TIS! I can't believe it. What could he possibly hope to achieve and what could he possibly think would be the results?

I wonder if Ron Paul and the Tea Party will respond.

Exactly. That was my first thought. Read their majority and concurring opinions and you'll know everything about their decisions you could want to know.

I don't know Oli. How/why he thought that was ok to post is beyond me. I haven't heard anybody speak out on it yet today. I'm guessing Ron Paul will though. This guy is a reminder of how crazy some people are. And these people want to run for office. God help us!

It's also a federal felony crime, even if you're joking.

Fun Fact: Until JFK's assassination, it wasn't a federal offense to murder the POTUS.
