I suspect they do not want to use the Jacksonville exchange between Santorum and Romney regarding Romneycare for fear of adding more fuel to Santorum’s campaign.

I really like Romney’s line….”there is nothing to be angry about!” when cornered by Santorum about Romneycare.

And Erick, why is it that Romney’s PAC persist in airing the Tom Brokaw ad about Newt’s so called ethics violation when he has been exonerated? Why is there no outrage? That should be worth as least a few points for Romney that should have gone to Newt!

So now that we know the Super PAC money can beat anybody, anytime, whats a voter to do? Our politicians and even our political process is now owned by the highest bidder – corporate America. Thanks Supreme Court.

Newt is apparently so frustrated with the wall he has hit fighting big-money “democracy” he has resorted to the old culture wars. He has essentially retreated to a position he knows Romney won’t attack him on, even if its one no one cares much about right now.

So my question – now that the teat-party has received their pat on the head by corporate owned politicians who actually wear the pants around here, what will they do? Fade quietly away, or re-group and re-load?

Is the tea-party done? Or just lying bloody on the battle field?

Romney outspent Gingrich 5 to 1 in campaign spending, 8 to1 on PAC spending.

The DC establishment is crushing the last vestiges of the tea party.

No wonder a venture capitalist is winning, he sure knows how to raise money.

In the most negative campaign in Florida’s history, Mitt Romney and his super PACs came in first with the sheer number and percentage of negative ads

Data compiled by CMAG reveals that a total of 11,586 television spots were aired between Jan. 23-29 in Florida.

A whopping 99 percent of the 3,276 ads paid for by the Romney campaign were deemed negative, while 100 percent of the 4,969 spots sponsored by the pro-Romney Restore Our Future PAC were considered negative.

In contrast, Gingrich and the pro-Gingrich PAC — Winning Our Future — ran fewer overall ads and more positive spots overall as a percentage of total ads.

Only 53 percent of the 1,893 spots aired by Winning our Future were considered negative, while some 95 percent of the 1,012 spots from the Gingrich campaign were deemed negative.

Some 68 percent of the negative ads were directed at Gingrich as compared to only 23 percent aimed at Romney, according to the CMAG data reported by CNN.

Less than 0.1 percent of the total ads were considered pro Romney, while 9 percent of the total ads were deemed pro Gingrich — reflecting a higher overall percentage of positive ads by the Gingrich campaign and the pro-Gingrich PAC.

South Carolina on Fox News felt like a funeral. Fox News covering Florida feels like a joyous celebration. Newt’s SC win wasn’t a big deal according to Fox, while Romney’s FL win is the be all end all.

longer to see a doctor here in MA. I can tell you from personal experience that the popularity of concierge medicine across the country is adding to this problem. My doctor of many years decided to join MDVIP last September with another staff doctor at my health care office. The fee per year was $1,800 and I decided, while I really liked my doctor, I didn’t like him that much.

Each of those two doctors had patient loads of about 2,500 each, and since enrollment in the MDVIP was limited to 600 patients per doctor, that left almost 4,000 patients who had to be reassigned to other doctors within the office. Many of them were already carrying large patient loads. Needless to say, none of the doctors are now taking on new patients.

This is just one office. The MDVIP program is a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble and does about $500 million/year. They get about 1/3 of the annual patient fee, so we are talking many hundreds of thousands of patients. These doctors get nice fat fees, in addition to their regular office visit fees, and reduced patient loads so that they have more free time, while their former patients have to scramble for a new doctor.

Fears that senior citizens on Medicare who could not afford concierge care would get kicked out of practices are becoming a reality. And there is nothing in ObamaCare or RomneyCare which will stop these doctors from joining these groups.

So let’s be careful when we throw around general comments of people waiting 44 days to see a doctor. Let’s get the facts of who is waiting and why.

and Newt’s supporters after conducting the most negative campaign in Florida’s history!

Newt on the other hand should have an easier job!

4 down, 46 more to go! This Newt Supporter vowed to fight on with time, money, and sweat!

You never know what Newt will do next.

Sorry to say WIll, but your not even playing the game anymore. It is over. Newt can’t get a fair shake because he is facing an insurmountable wall of Wall Street cash.

Newts money will dry up in the face of this onslaught. Stick a fork in it my friend, the era of big government joining forces with corporate billions means we no longer have a voice.

Might as well go fishin’ and try to forget about it. We are all now owned …

Newt should play this ad instead

Barack Obama
List of issues*
Oops we meant Mitt Romney

*Issues being things thag they both can be completely compared to, e.g. socialized healthcare, abortion, taxes, appointing liberal judges, etc.

That ad would crush Romney like a bug. No Republican wants to vote for Obama and every Republican that is shown how they compare (Obama and Mitt) will never vote for Mitt.

He stood at the debates and said he would repeal Obamacare. His campaign says parts will be eliminated, but it won’t be repealed. That should be a slogan.

Andrew Clavin said it best: Gingrich is man who is so intelligent that only he knows what he stands for.

Unfortunately Newt can’t hide the fact that he’s Newt Gingrich.

I moved the family from Atlanta to Boston area 6 months ago. Lower taxes (income, property and sales), lower unemployment, higher wages, family hasn’t had to wait for any medical appointments (including specialists) and healthcare cost with employer went down 2% starting in January vs. last year. The only real problem with MA is the highly corrupt democratic political machine and unions.

has nothing to do with Pelosi.. it was telling an Italian man to get out of the race.. now THAT was dumb !!!

Disappointing but expected night. 46 To Go!

I keep seeing the “venture capital” confusion posted here & there, again & again.

Here is a video from Butler On Business, interviewing a man who was with the Texas Workforce Commission, head of the Texas Republican Party, a Viet Nam vet and worked in venture capital for 6 years after he left the Reagan Administration (he may have said in the video. He shouldn’t be all that hard to find) He is the author of the book Bringing America Home.

He gives a very clear and easy to understand explanation concerning the difference between venture capital and leveraged buyout companies like Bain, Michael Milliken, and Steven Schwartzman.

i’m sticking with Newt!

So Romney Butchers up Newt!…Will he do the same to Obama? ….Doubtful…would Newt? most certainly Yes!…So who will be our next President…Obama…Why?…..Because Romney will not fight for this country like Newt would but Romney and the Liberal GOP would gladly stick a knife in the back of Conservatism!

One other little observation..the media went out of its way to say Romney got more votes than Newt and Santorum “Combined!”. Well…if you add Paul’s votes into the total you come away with 52% that voted AGAINST Romney’s 46%…he may have won the battle but he is STILL losing the war.

And if any of you guys think that Conservatives are going to “roll- over” on the”anybody but Obama!” or “We have got to save this Country” junk you all are going to be in for a big surprise.

The Establishment – Liberal GOP and Carl Rove RINO’s don’t want Conservatives… they well may get their wish in November. I am telling you this is the last straw for many Conservatives like myself……that will not vote for the Letter “R” and leave our values on the floor ( like we have in the past) for a shadow of Obama!

Nothing will Truely change IF Romney gets elected. If you are willing to vote for Mediocrity over Change then “Establishment Selection” is the way to go.

people complaining of high insurance rates for healthcare, auto and property insurance in Massachusetts. The state is run like a communist country. No joke, you can’t buy auto insurance out of state, if you do, you can’t get your tag renewed. Register the car out of state and Romney has a Commuter Fee aka tax for that plus if the cops find out you live in state they confiscate the car.

Gingrich is not a viable alternative to Romney at this point. Santorum is. Newt has monstrous baggage, including yesterday’s column from Joe Scarborough recounting how Gingrich tried to jettison the small government, low-tax ideals of the Contract With America. You’ve got anti-conservative quotes galore by him to be dug up, plus flaky moon-settlement and blowhard “I am a visionary!” pronouncements that come tumbling out of him like Keystone Cops from a clown car.
With Gingrich out of the race, Santorum would be a strong viable alternative to Romney. He’d be listened to more, and I think even siphon votes from the Romney column that nutty Newt can’t.
No sense belaboring Santorum’s imperfections. He’s standing tall, clean and sensible as a conservative right now. Lose him, and it’s all Romney.

romney care us state mandated not government mandated. that is a big difference. i have to wait 44 days to see a doctor here in florida and am not even in a HMO. costs will go up and down. if costs go up to have to examine the plan and tweak it here and there. no one, including me, knows the inner workings of massachussets, so i would think that it was the best plan they could come up with for that state where i believe only 10% are uninsured.

Won’t lower taxes, vote against Romney. Video clips from the past will sell anyone.
