PARTY-BACKED REPUBLICANS DEFEAT TEA PARTY….

Posted on by

Romney Secures GOP Nod in Primary

Party-backed Republicans easily defeat Tea Party candidates to be delegates to their national convention.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney took a big step in his quest to secure the GOP nomination with a five-state sweep on Tuesday, including a landslide victory in the Pennsylvania primary.
Romney easily outdistanced his opponents among Pennsylvania Republicans with 58 percent of the vote. Among Bucks County voters, the former Massachusetts governor also won big, securing 27,532 votes for 66.6 percent.
As of midnight, 9,165 out of 9,260 districts (98.97%) were reporting statewide while in Bucks County, 302 of the 304 districts have been counted.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum‘s (R-Pa.) decision to drop out of the race a few weeks ago handed Romney an expected victory in the primary. Despite dropping out of the race on April 10, Santorum was running second statewide with 18.4 percent of the vote. In Bucks County, Ron Paul finished second with 13.4 percent of the vote and Santorum was third at 11.6 percent.

MITT VS. NEWT: IS EITHER WINNING? KOMEN REVERSED!

I WONDER, WONDER WHO? Bain’s CEO added this one footnote: “Still, whenever the rest of us would go out at the end of the day, we’d always find ourselves having the same conversation: None of us had any idea who this guy was?”

His greatest passion is something he’s determined to keep secret.

Wolf Blitzer asked Gingrich whether he was “satisfied right now with the level of transparency as far as [Romney’s] personal finances.” Gingrich, eyes gleaming, shot back at Blitzer, “This is a nonsense question,” to hoots and hollers from the audience. “Look, how about if the four of us agree for the rest of the evening, we’ll actually talk about issues that relate to governing America?”

The press loves drama and hates a front-runner. So guess who they are rooting for?

GINGRICH FLUBS FACTS….AGAIN, etc.

Posted on by
ETCWASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich called rival Mitt Romney a “terrible historian” but flubbed his own history in Congress on Monday night when he claimed the nation ran four consecutive budget surpluses during his time as House speaker. Romney attacked Gingrich’s financial links to Freddie Mac while ignoring his own.
The accusations were fast out of the gate in the latest Republican presidential debate, and reality got tromped in the process.
A look at some of claims and how they compare with the facts:
___
GINGRICH: “When I was speaker, we had four consecutive balanced budgets.”
THE FACTS: Actually, two.
 
The four straight years of budget surpluses were 1998 through 2001. Gingrich left Congress in 1999, so he only had a hand in surpluses for his last two years. The budget ran deficits for his first two years as speaker.
The highest surplus of that four-year string came in budget year 2000, after Gingrich was out of office.
